Nigeria’s President Umaru Yar’Adua was disgraced yesterday in London, when he was chased away from the venue in which he was scheduled to hold talks with British officials.

Sources told P.M.News last night that a coalition of over 30 self-determination and rights groups, under the aegis of Liberty Forum, forced Yar’Adua to relocate from The Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, 10, St. James Square, to a rundown building at 8, John Adams Street, London WC2.

The Nigerian protesters who are based in the United Kingdom said they disrupted Yar’Adua’s meeting with the British officials to prevent him from deceiving the Britons about the true situation in the Niger Delta.

“We are here to prevent President Yar’ Adua from deceiving the British people on the real situation in the Niger Delta. We are here to ensure that Britain does not send her citizens to fight the people of the Niger Delta. We are here to tell the whole world that Nigeria is a country led by uncaring political leaders at the centre, which does not care about the respect for human rights and the basic tenets of democracy,’ Kayode Ogundamisi, who led hundreds of protesters, told the British media, many of who had come to cover the event.

The British police watched as the activitist trailed the Nigerian leaders forcing them to relocate, and compelling the president to observe for several minutes the showdown with his entourage. He said that Nigeria has become a laughing stock in the comity of nations largely because of the fraudulent elections that brought many politicians to power, the high degree of corruption in the country and the lack of public confidence in the post election tribunals, most of which he said are ‘in the pocket of politicians”

The protesting Nigerians Representing various groups Including the Nigerian Liberty Forum , Women In Africa , Journalists for Democratic Rights, Odua Republic Front, ORF, Irapada Omo Odua, and sympathetic environmental rights groups, gathered at the Chatham House from 4 p.m., when it was 4.30 p.m. it was then obvious the organisers had a sinister move.

Contact was then made with insiders in the British press who then revealed that the president had been moved to 8, John Adams Street, WC2. The Liberty Forum quickly mobilized to picket the new location , Yar’Adua was picketed and organisers rounded off the remaining segment of the event.

SeanT21:

What have your president done for the Uk to gain there respect?

anyway, It still was not nice of them to do it.

tpia:

they should keep on fooling themselves.

After Yaradua has returned to Nigeria, wont it be them, the British police, the knife wielding youths, and their usual rat race.

So disrespectful yet they'll complain when the people observing them treat them the same way.

and why did the British police find it difficult to maintain control of the crowd? Would they have allowed that with George Bush?

The crisis in Niger-Delta is no longer some youths carrying claws to fight. Some inetrnational cartels are involved in multimillion criminal trades that need to be checked.

SeanT21:

My Question is still not answered. Yall get mad when they protest againts him?

Why should they respect him?
What has he done for them?

landis:

It is a good sign.

The message is clear: he is not wanted.

He should stay in Nigeria and Fix it or let someone else fix it.

No hiding Place for all these rulers.

And the British Police + Govt have tactically shown to yara-dull; GO HOME.


Yaradull is 'executive' president. He should fix that. Fed-up with this excuses.

tpia:

its not about what he's done to gain respect.


The president and members of cabinet of any nation, are treated with a basic level of courtesy both at home and especially during foreign trips abroad, regardless any negative thing anyone can think of.

Is all this stuff not included in high school citizenship/social studies classes?

The respect is for the office, not just the person in the office. The office represents the nation, and once you disrespect that, you are showing what you think of that nation and its citizens. Thats why if the story is true, then these people arent helping themselves. Neither is the British police showing any respect for the people he represents, by failing to provide him with proper protection.

SeanT21:

Maybe they just do not want him in their country. So because he is the president of Nigeria they should bend down and kiss his feet. Not all president are welcomed in foreign countries. Just because he is a Nigerian does not make it a big deal. Where are all the Nigerians that live in London? Where were they when he visited? Why did the Nigerians that live in London not welcome him?

Big B1:


Question:
How come these same protesters haven't gone to one of  Iboris's houses in London to also display their dissatisfaction?
They can also visit various houses of these politicians (Alams, Lucky Igb, Kalu and many many more) in Nigeria as well.
