Come to think of it, those complaning that YarAdua is slow and they want him dead, which of the past "fast" presidents has ruled better than him. What does Nigeria has to show for their "fastness". Babangida was so fast in decision making that he himself said "History would forgive us for taking wrong decisions but would not forgive us for not taking one", then went on taken all kinds of rash decisions that got us to where we are today. I am yet to believe that history has forgiven him and his AFRC.

@depilot,have u ever heard of the word BRIC? its the new economic  buzz word and some of the countries that make up BRIC doesnt even  have oil. Nigeria have the potential of being amongst them given leaders that are well and with vision.what u wrote here makes it easy 4 us to be able to look into your brain and we cant find anything there other than cottowool. whats that cottonwoll doing in the place of brain,or are u having your period through your brain?
it is folks like u who are holding this nation down and we ought to cut off your hands.  swine.

it is folks like u who are holding this nation down and we ought to cut off your hands

paddy_lo:

BRIC eh, lets see
Brazil, has lots of oil
Russia, has lots of oil
India, no oil, but has oil companies that hold foriegn oil reserves
china, cnooc,petrochina some of biggest oil companies in the world(china has oil of its south seas)

how is he holding the nation down,care to elaborate?
i mean if the president dies,the vice takes over for 2yrs
what exactly is the point of your rant?

Democratically and constitutionally, yes, it is true. But with Yaradua, I'm sorry to break it to you brother, if - God forbid - anything happens to him today that disables him from ruling, another Northerner will be appointed to step in his shoes, not Goodluck.

paddy_lo:

that will not happen my friend
why do we like to unnecessarily bother ourselves
when murtala was killed,did obasanjo a southerner not take over for close to 3yrs,and this was in 1976 when the north had a lot of military personal in the army?
now the army is more proffesional and reflects all the states in roughly equal proportion
plus the niger delta people will not stand for jonathan being pushed out

i hiss in Navajo language.
Depilot are you afraid you won't get any more contracts after the death of your uncle?
Stupid bugger

Funny that you don't know Nigeria is no longer running on the constitution. . . I could have argued that blindly if I didn't know better. Let me tell you something and I would have asked you to note it - but I don't pray for a situation that will make the note come to reality - if Yaradua, God forbid, dies today, Jonathan will only be an acting president until a substitute is appointed from the North; we all know that's against the constitution but trust me, I heard it from lots of confirmed sources and even watched, read and saw interviews about it.

It has been emphatically stated many times, Jonathan will NEVER replace Yaradua if anything happens - maybe for a while until someone else is appointed but not constitutionally. As for the Niger Delta not standing for his push-out, I'm sorry, they will just rant, threaten and make whine but that's all there is to it, and to make matters worse for him, he wasn't there for them when they needed him - he's already an outcast.

paddy_lo:

u are making out your opinion to be fact in case of a hypothetical situation

i my friend will go with precedent and the constitution over your opinion,(which of course u are entitled to)

and p.s u cannot appoint the president of nigeria,this is not egypt or gabon

@paddy-lo,am sorry that you are already low and cant go lower than that (as he that is down needs fear no fall) since your clouded brain cant even figure out how they are holding the country down and u call my post a rant,let me explain it to u in your kindergaten vocabs. how many presidents u know goes to saudi arabia to treat themselves every one week. are u so stupid that u cant even think with your head,or do u simply wanna pick on me? if that is the case,then i say slowpoke bring it the fck on. filho da puta

LMAO!!!! So Yaradua wasn't appointed? Was he voted in? Since when has Nigeria been following the constitution when it comes to electoral practices?

paddy_lo:

fashola just announced a budget of #420bln,for lagos the largest in its history

what has yar adua going to saudi arabia have to do with that?

i tell u that,if half the governors in the country perform half as much as fashola does,nobody would care if yar adua is in the country or not as the country would be on auto-pilot

so keep cursing yourself there and waiting for a savior,nigeria consists of 36states

one man cannot do nothing if the others refuse to pull their weight

so i expect your rant should be directed at the living deadweight governors

and stop picking on someone who u should instead be praying for,i guess u will live forever too right?

paddy_lo:

so u are telling me that nigerians would have voted for buhari instead?

a well known sharia enthusiast,and former dictator?

i dont think so bro
