i knew he would say so, who will ask andy?

Senator Ikechukwu Obiora (PDP, Anambra South) even while expressing his appreciation of the president’s action said public declaration of assets was not his major problem. According to him, he was more worried by the continued detention of Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and other leaders of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) who he said were now critically ill.

Senators divided over Yar’Adua’s assets declaration.

I feel ashamed of some unproductive mouth running Nigerians, who never appreciate anything that is good.I applaud my president for this bold step by declaring his assets,it is a mark of good intents for us. People should learn to apreciate honesty no matter how little it is, because it is hard to find presently. I strongly believe that YAR-Adua will be better than those greedy leaders we have had in the past.All we should pray is that God should protect him from those whose works are to corrupt good intention ,and not to criticise him,

Mamajama:

Mamajama:

Fine I will give him benefit of a doubt and see. I am still waiting for his policies? Ministers

There is no time to do anybody's will that will not benefit Nigerians. nigeria has no time to waste. Even OBJ knew that once Yar becomes president, he will not listen to anyone including OBJ himself. That is why he put him there. So the story of first cabinet does not hold.

Thank God we Nigerians are still alive and are beginning to learn how to actively take part in running the government. Any of our Senators or Representatives that approves some "chop and clean mouth" Minister will be recalled.

Fellow Nigerians,
(I hope I'm not sounding like those cowboys of yesteryears. God forbid such distractions in my fatherland again!),
much as we have freedom of opinion and expression, it's important that we also note the effect of our contribtutions on the nation as a whole through this forum.

When we make negative comments like some we have read under this topic, we indirectly empower and encourage the evil politicians in our land. Why and how? Because they console themselves by saying,"eat what ever you want to eat, afterall Mr Yaradua wey won do goodman, Nigerians still callam thief" We make the likes of Abacha(if the accusations were true) and most of our politicians saints.

The truth we must understand is that in spite of whatever shortcomings our president may have as a human being, he has shown by his words and actions so far, that he is a noble man and a man of integrity. He is a rare gem to have come out to declare his asset. This singular action, as far as I'm concerned already outweighs the 8yrs noise of Chief Obasanjo against corruption.

If Nigerians still do not see anything good in our presidents action, then even if an angel comes down to rule us, we will never be satisfied. What Yaradua needs now is for all men and women of goodwill, who love this country, to Begin to pray earnestly for him because his action must have already pitched him on the enemy camp against most of the other politicians. I fear for his life, but I pray that God will hearken to the prayers of the many suffering people in Nigeria and see him through.

My dear president, may God help you, grant you the strenght of David and the wisdom of Solomon to lead us aright. Amen.
