Maybe someone sent them a recording and they were in a hurry to be first to publish. . .
Its just crazy.

Does anybody know of a good voice analysis software?
We can check this thing ourselves.

I have found one thats reputable and claimed to be open source on a 3rd party website. Its called "Nuance voice authentication server". I need to find out where to download it from though. The vendors website is tricky, http://www.nuance.com/verifier/ and I can only find a component called "Nuance Verifier™ 3.5 for voice authentication", but no download link/button.
I'm beginning to wonder if it really is open source.

I am suspecting the BBC is being blackmailed or something, because these stories don't fit

[li]BBC published the "Yar Adua inteview" at 3:07am or  6:07am (Saudi time). The person on the phone sounded weak beyond measure. Would such an ill man wake up so early to phone the BBC? Strange![/li]
[li]The very same BBC reported just a couple of days ago, that Yar Adua was no in Saudi, but today they phone hime in the very same Saudi[/li]
[li]The interviewer had a very Nigerian accent [/li]
[li]The same Yar Adua "signed" the budgetry supplyment, but said not a word about Mutallab [/li]
[li]Yar Adua vanishes from the country, only to speak to foreigners first. . . 49 days later[/li]

Protests have already started in Abuja. Make una go represent jare!

[quote author=bk_baybe99 link=topic=372308.msg5297641#msg5297641 date=1263283571]I'd like to know why he didn't go in the bathroom, or at least take off his underwear before lighting it on fire.

Remii:
As some said, he chose the medium some "thomases" would accept since they always doubt anything Nigerians. If NTA showed him they may say it  was recorded. The most important thing is that he is alive and as a human being we should rejoice with him. I think he is well and recovering, it is possible his physical state is not befitting for presidential display, for instance I would not like my president showed on TV worldwide in medical packages or worse still half unclothed, so they are limiting the coverage.

Nobody will say the video was forged if he talks about Mutallab and we synchronise his words to his lips the video. Then again, he's been gone too long and we don't bloody care anymore; we just want he and his kitchen cabinet gone. Nigeria is nobody's private property.

[color=teal]What has yara done?

let's not judge him by past residents, let's judge him by his 7-points plan[/color]

He has been reading the [b]seven [/b]point agenda to us from a sheet of paper. . . Repeatedly!
His mate, Obama in the meantime, can reel off a 45 minute speech on very technical areas of US politics. . . Without a single glance at a piece of paper

experto:
The BBC TV broadcasted the voice of Yar-adua 30 minutes ago, He sounds almost in pain. He said he hopes to return to Nigeria to his duties soon. It sounds like a telephone interview.

Sorry, but to me, that was neither his voice nor was the accent 100%.

willyspace:
I heard it on BBC Network Africa this morning, the program is still running, you can tune and verify for yourself. this issue is too delicate for bbc to be playing propaganda with.

Really?
Did they verify his voice? Isn't it the same BBC that reported he wasn't in Saudi, that is suddenly "calling" him in the very same Saudi?

fyneguy:
And the confusion continues

See what's on CNNireport

He is as ineffective as a door knob.

Mekusxyz:
How many days is required for the President to be away from his duty post before he can be impeached (or anything of that sort)?

Mbulela posted this earlier, https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-379880.0.html
It would seem that serious questions needed to be asked immediately Yar adua crossed 42 days.

No2Atheism:
someone send me the link for the audio abeg . . .or is it on live television. . .

If you have satellite, swing it to BBC.

kcjazz:
How would you accuse someone of lying without verifying. Am not a politician, am lying down in my sitting room jejely and watching BBC here in the US and this audio pops up. My concern is that the guy sounds sick. I would not believe that the BBC is in any agenda at this stage. Maybe listen to Network Africa on radio now in Nigeria or tune in on BBC website to listen to that program live!

I am truly sorry. I was relying on the report on the BBC website, I just changed channels and heard the audio. Don't be annoyed.

OAM4J:
how are we sure, it was Yaradua that was behind the phone?

why was the call coming at the eve of the save Nigeria rally and NAS debate?

Somebody somewhere is fooling some people, but not me.

Don't mind them. They want to use voodoo to blind us. He hasn't called Obama, but he is speaking to the very same BBC that declared he wasn't in Saudi only a couple of days ago.

kcjazz:
Maybe they will post it later, it was on BBC America. He sounds sick that guy was lying down while he was speaking I guess.

[size=14pt]Lie![/size]

I posted this topic exactly 17 minutes after the BBC published their story and there was no audio link anywhere Nigeria's Ailing President Yar'adua Breaks Silence.

Those people saying they heard him are lying, there is no audio.

If you ask me, they are all ridiculous and speak of an unhealthy inferiority complex.

@topic
People are here abusing a foreign presenter. Pity.
Look to what is wrong and laughable about Nigeria (very many things), because even Benin Republic talk show's will soon start taking the piss with Nigeria (thats if they aren't doing it already).

You scared to post the URL so we can know what that graph is about?

FL Gators:
[color=teal]Like seriously, who cares  if he's getting better?

The koko of the matter is relinquishing his presidency to a potent candidate.[/color]

Thank you my sister.
Even if the man appears in the stars from heaven, what kind of cure would that be for Nigeria? The country has become so useless that we couldn't even call common Niger republic to order. Imagine common Niger that gets all its exports through Nigeria!
We are ruled by primitive people who cannot understand how others view us;
[list]
[li]Boko Haram 2009[/li]
[li]Army bombs a festival in Niger Delta and straffs the survivors by helicopter gunship[/li]
[li]President goes missing[/li]
[li]Mutallab - there is nobody to represent Nigeria[/li]
[li]Kala Kato[/li]
[/list]

How do this primitive "leaders" think foreigners view us?

mbulela:
he will speak to BBC not NTA because it will be easy for Nigerians to tell that the voice is that of Esau but the body of Jacob.
To the BBC reporter, all northerners sound alike.
Did BBC play the audio on their radio station?

Exactly!

tom28:
To beaf
I do believe its the responsiblity of every nigerian wether young and old to join hands together to fight this cancerious corrupt leaders in the corriders of power and it shouldnt be the job of the youths alone.

Those organising the demonstrations and speaking out are not youths. Unlike in similar times in the past (even under military regimes) the youth voice is disgracefully silent.
All over the World, demonstrations are powered by youth; the exception seems to be present day youth of Nigeria, they would rather cling to their mothers wrappers.

I don't even believe he can speak or he is even alive.
Power should be handed over to Goodluck Jonathan, who can either wobble on to 2011 or declare a state of emergency and get people locked up.

We will like to hear the audio recording.

[size=14pt]Nigeria's ailing President Yar'Adua breaks silence[/size]

President Umaru Yar'Adua has been abroad for weeks

Nigeria's president, who has not been seen since going into hospital in Saudi Arabia for heart treatment in November, has told the BBC he is recovering.
In his first interview since then, Umaru Yar'Adua said he hoped to make "tremendous progress" and to return to Nigeria to resume his duties.
Nigerian opposition parties have been demanding evidence about the true state of Mr Yar'Adua's health.

A rally has been called for Tuesday, mainly to protest over his absence.
There are three different court cases under way calling for power to be transferred to the Vice-President, Goodluck Jonathan.
Mr Yar'Adua is also known to have kidney problems.

'Save Nigeria'
Speaking by telephone, Mr Yar'Adua said he was making a good recovery.
"At the moment I am undergoing treatment, and I'm getting better from the treatment. I hope that very soon there will be tremendous progress, which will allow me to get back home," he said.
"I wish, at this stage, to thank all Nigerians for their prayers for my good health, and for their prayers for the nation."
Rumours had been rife that he was critically ill and unable to return to the presidency.

Under the banner Enough Is Enough, an organisation called the Save Nigeria Group called people on to the streets of the capital, Abuja.
There is a perceived danger of a power vacuum in a country which only saw the back of military rule just over 10 years ago, the BBC's Will Ross reports from the city.
The opposition plan is to march to the national assembly where senators are expected to be discussing the president's health.
Prominent opposition politicians and lawyers, Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka and the Biafran secessionist leader, Chief Emeka Ojukwu, will be among the demonstrators.

It is not clear if the demonstration will be well attended, our correspondent says.
Nigerians may be worried about their absent president but whether they will take time off to demonstrate is another matter, he adds.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8453321.stm

A mass rally is needed in Lagos too, then Enugu, Ibadan, Kaduna and the rest of the country. Damn this people.

tom28:
To the creator of this i think you just making a side sweeping issue and u been biased calling nigerians cowards.If nigerians are cowards then how were they able to fight Sani Abacha and his goons to a standstill.Remember many nigerian journalists and private citiziens lost their lives trying to fight Abacha"s dictatorship.On the issue of the current leaders in power their rope is getting smaller and closer will come the day when most nigerians will tell them enough is enough.It has already begun in the niger delta and soon it will spread througout the whole country.

Sorry, that was another generation of youths. The current generation of youths is packed with cowardice. I remember how we faced amoured car bare breasted, fearful but resolute; I remember the tank commander, seeing that we wouldn't budge, lift up his uniform. . . underneath was an MK Abiola t-shirt. . .
You never know what the battle is, until you engage.

@topic

The few weeks ive spent here have made me realize that 97% of Nigerians are not only cowards, but arrogantly ignorant. They think that the deep shyte they are in is normal. . . . and god help you if you tell them otherwise.

Tell them!
Its like someone born in prison, they don't know the meaning of freedom or how to deal with it, talkless of how to aqcuire it. They think that being in prison is normal.
In fact, Nigerians are afraid of freedom.

Dem tink say we be mugu. (RIP)
