He was a Muslim but was loved by Christians.

He was Fulani but saw Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and other tribes in Nigeria as one.

The truest Nigerian who didn't segregate or choose one tribe over the other.

Under his watch, an Igbo man for the first time in Nigeria's history became Inspector General of Police and not only one but two Igbo men consecutively Mike Mbama Okiro (2007 - 2009) and Ogbonna Okechukwu Onovo (2009 - 2010) were appointed Inspector Generals of Police.

Under his watch, an Igbo man Air Marshall Paul Dike was the Chief of Defence Staff. Under his watch, A Yoruba man, Air Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin was Air Force Chief.

He didn't appoint all the Service Chiefs from his zone so as to make it clear to others that they don't belong. He made us all feel like Nigerians.

He understood the pains of marginalization and under his watch, peace returned to the creeks.

Under his watch, we all still had hope for a better and greater Nigeria and there wasn't any real agitation to break up Nigeria as we see today.

The leadership style of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua should be the lesson notes subsequent Nigerian leaders should have copied.

If they had, probably many of our sons and daughters fighting a just cause because of the way they are being treated in a country they should call "home" would still be alive today to contribute their quota to the growth of the nation.

Even when Nigerians protested over his policies which were meant to better the lives of the people, he always met us at the round table of dialogue.

Today, the removal of subsidy he talked about which many challenged is now being championed by the same people who challenged him.

What would they do with the money realized from subsidy? Will the refinaries work again as Umaru had planned so that fuel pump price will fall or would the money disappear into some unprobeable pockets and the people continue to suffer?

A respecter of Rule of Law. The late Eze Emmanuel Njemanze described you as exceptional and mourned your demise probably as much as I did.

A perfect gentleman if there were any perfect gentlemen. A good man.

I salute you Mr President. Without a doubt, you were Nigeria's best.

Indeed, we miss you so much. Keep resting in the bosom of Allah, my dear friend.

Abokis only know how to rear cow, so you don't expect Buhari to give a herder plane to pilot. It takes wisdom and intelligence to become a pilot, you know?

Hated only by Igbo Muslims.

is better to rear cows than keep destroying yourself, your ancestors name and dragging your history through the mud. Whenever u said u are Nigerian abroad.., first thing will come to their mind is scammer, criminal. material things is not a real wealth or riches. I better rear cows, than let history judge me as people that's celebrate crime culture. About pilots I'm not even going to say anything because my senior brother is a good pilot. Next time before u type about wisdom and intelligent amongst the tribe in Nigeria. pls. Read a book by Clark the right honorable gentleman or the making of Northern Nigeria

This your stupid socialist mentality is what's keeping Nigeria down , ...there is nothing nlike moral ..make money grow your place that's what's important
If America as a country can sell drugs to her people when it was hard who are u

We are too moral for a developing nation's ...all sins are equal ..pick your sin make sure it pays u

Until you're gone, you won't know how much you're loved. SOMEONE NIGERIANS CALLED LIFELESS? They've forgotten so soon

The difference is clear...
