Exactly 50 days after Umaru Yar'Adua disappeared from public view on a medical trip to Saudi Arabia, the BBC is reporting that it spoke to a man purporting to be our president. The one minute clip which has been used in various programmes and can be accessed via the BBC ‘s website, has a man who presented himself as the president saying he is recuperating , "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."

However there has been no independent verification of the authenticity of the voice on the tape.

The BBC story is coming on the back of a story by NEXT reporting that President Yar'Adua is brain damaged and unable to function as president.

In reaction to the BBC report, NEXT editors said, ‘'we stand by our story, to wit: we have it on good authority that the president has suffered brain damage and other impairments, and is no longer able to effectively discharge the office of president.

Anyone who claims we are wrong should please produce our president, so that he can speak to us directly as Nigerians, and not via an audio clip through a foreign news organization.''

NEXT also said it is willing to immediately dispatch journalists to meet the president in Saudi Arabia as soon as his kitchen cabinet permits access to him. ‘'We would like to see for ourselves and talk directly to our president.

This is one occasion where we would be happily wrong. So we call on those keeping the president hidden from the Nigerian people to produce him immediately for all to see,'' the media organisation said.

It seems you guys do not understand something, a policeman that means to get money from a driver must surely come out with excuses;

From benin to Warri, there were so many road blocks, i did not have problem with any of the MOPOL. But the first 'Black n Black" police i met. i gave him my papers, i have all the documents (imortant and non-important) just in case. The man , after checking the booth said i should open the bunnet, he took a stick and begin to scrap the rust and dirt from the engine number, he now called me and said the 1 written on the doc. is actually 7, men with the rust the two numbers(1 & 7) look alike. even ppl we called to come and see could not differentiate but he insist it was 7 and even said, he may go and look for something to wash it. But all my papers were correct, the man no gree oh, he delayed us enn, and we were in haste, i have an appointment in DPR in W/S road.

NLers, na #500 pass am ohh


When i was coming back to benin, one mopol i met said because the printed expiry date in my insurance cert. is not in exactly the same line with what is written on it, he said he can insist that the upper date(issue date) is the expiry date. That one sha money no pass am because i hold my ground.

In a nutshell, these ppl are just looking for the slightest error which may not even be your fault,

We need a complete restructure of the police force for this country to move forward. ppl that are supposed to be our best friends and protecting us are now constituting menace to the society.
