What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

He made enormous strides on the Niger-delta, Education, Electoral reform,  7 point agenda etc  . . .  a Very Transparent President, what a loss!

WORDS FAIL ME!


R.I.P Mr. President

May his soul rest in peace!!!!!!!!!!

ADIEU

R.I.P Umaru
He was a gentleman, although his last days were messed up by the selfish cabal.

condonlen[b]s[/b]e? . . . .

He will be remembered a the first Nigeria President to declare his assets publicly, RIP

A pure man. Religious, truthful, simple, he was a good man.

he was an incompetent president.

Rest in Peace Mr President

may he RIP.


His legacy will be revealed with time.

Why did he die on the day TRUTH prevailed over LIES

Two Vanguard News headlines captures the significance of yesterday and largely Yar'adua's life as President.

"Yar'adua dies"
"FG drops charges against Ribadu"

A lot of attrocities were committed on behalf of Yar'adua. These attrocities were enough to make a healthy man sick. It is no wonder it has sent a sick man to an early grave.

tpia.:

may he RIP.


His legacy will be revealed with time.

it is revealed already. incompetent

Yar'Adua took office in 2007 in a country notorious for corruption and gained accolades for being the first leader to publicly declare his personal assets when taking office — setting up a benchmark for comparison later to see if he misappropriated funds. But enthusiasm for his presidency waned as time passed and he made no headway in fighting entrenched corruption.

You may not have impressed me as a president when you were alive but you lived a life worthy of emulation:gentle,religious,simple and a good father/husband.your entrenchment of the rule of law would not be easily forgotten by oshiomhole and mimiko who despite being from the opposition got back their mandate through a process that was never there before;rule of law.
we all are human and the only constant and inevitable in life is death.dont worry about those who insult,curse or abuse you after your death,they will surely become like you onwards since we all are going to die.
May your gentl soul rest in peace.we'll miss you.
RIP

Everybody is singing eulogies now yet they are the same people who have been abusing him and his wife from time immemorial on Nairaland.

May he RIP.

May the GOOD LORD give to him what he deserves, Amen!!


By the way, what about the souls of the many Nigerians who never got the same treatment the man at least gave himself - treatment that helped keep him alive for as long as he lived? What about those souls? Do they also RIP and are they happy to say RIP to the man who allowed them go to their graves with no quality healthcare?

From the same people who had called him names in his lifetime especially on this same forum, what is man, O God!

Umoru the servant leader in pictures.
You will be judged by the ultimate judge. I am a mere man. So, I say rest in peace.  

You know I have just watched the movie"Heart and Soul " on Encore, and I saw how the bus driver came back ,one by one, for these guys that said they still have some unfinished business.And I said is that how it is? One by one the bus will come and take us to heaven.And I was sobered.
I hope the late President lived fulfilled, despite everything.I hope he had a vision and hope for a better Nigeria.
I wish he could borrow some time to come and correct one or two things that needs correction.
May his soul rest in peace.Greet my mum and dad if you chanced on them.

you may wish to dig out those threads so we can know those lying hypocrites.

Bye bye Yaradua.

O digba, o digbose, o darinako, o di gbere. _{(Yoruba farewell)}

La ilaha illa Allah; From my opinion, Yaradua died from smoking related diseases. May he rest in peace and may we the living stay away from that thing called cigarette which is "A fire at one end and a fool at the other." .

[size=16pt]Interim statement from Prof. Wole Soyinka[/size]

[size=14pt]What passes for the Nigerian nation is nothing more than a tragic arena, and Yar‘Adua is only the latest tragic figure. The vampires, including those within his own family, turned him into a mere inert resource for their diabolical schemes. They have a reckoning with their conscience, assuming they know what the word means. One can only hope that, while mouthing sanctimonious platitudes such as ”Power belongs to God,” they have now learnt that the politics of Do-or-Die cannot guarantee who does and who dies. They must stop playing God. I pray for the repose of the soul of their latest, much abused innocent victim.  - Professor Wole Soyinka

RIP

At least you are being honest and remain consistent unlike many Nairalander who have assassinated Yaradua's character 2 million times with their computers only to chant " words fail me", " dear mallam Jesus, why?"

LMAOOOO
I try to be honest brother.

May your soul rest in peace, may Allah console the family left behind, especially the aged mother, Adieu Mr President.

I do think Soyinka should stop attacking Turai.

It's very unbecoming, and there seems to be a personal angle to it.

Another incompetent interloper bites the dust. Held us hostage for 6 months while rehabilitating himself with tax payer funds. Good riddance, you should have stayed back with ur maalu in katsina.

We always lost great pple in dis contry,as 4 d evil pple dey live long.R.I.P

Condolences Ke? Abeg let us be honest, Truth be said, He could have lived a better life. He let so many things go wrong, took us 20 steps backwards, at least we will rest from all the Paid Advertorials by "Friends If YarAdua" and all the he is walking down the steps, hugging His Mom , playing police and Thief with his Grand children.

this a true account of what took place one day in the villa : my friend who's related to the president says this was a man who was so humble that you could even change the channel of the tv if you didn't like what was on tv at that moment, ' i didn't know him but everyone can safely say he was humble and never wanted trouble, RIP
@Mrs Yar'adua , be STRONG! we're prayin for you!!
