This is really unfortunate. Yar'Adua has to be unconscious otherwise he would shown himself to Nigerians. This is totally out of character for him. This craziness going on is directed by his wife and some aides of his. How can his wife allow her husband's health to be politicized. What a wife!

Abeg, help me ask her o.

That's very true. And it is even truer that the days of the cabal are numbered.

God forbid. May this cup pass over us!

Why was only the Acting President and National Security Adviser allowed to see Yar'adua? Why was the Minister for Information, Senate President and the Speaker House Of Reps not included in the sighting? Are Nigerians not supposed to be informed officially of his condition? After all, Nigerians have been praying fervently for his recovery.

I sure know Yar'adua is unconscious and damn incapacitated, if not he would have done something honourable -- tender his resignation letter.

Unfortunately, his cabal are playing dirty politics with his sympathetic condition. Some politicians could be heartless at times. How can you be feeding on the perilous condition of your President/boss for material gains? I'm flabberghasted!

There is a better option for Yar'adua if he doesn't want to be disgraced out of office, and that is, to honourably tender his resignation letter according to Section145 of the constitution. There is no need pretending about the incapacitation of Yar'adua. It is real!

It baffles me that Acting President Jonthan has not been PERMITTED by the cabal to see Yar'adua. It goes to show that we have no government yet. Otherwise, who is any cabal that can hold a government to ransom, twarting the interest of the government? I pity this country.

It means, to ehibit integrity even when no one is scrutinizing/supervising you. It also means, exhibiting integrity out of personal conviction (self discipline) and not out of compulsion. Simply put in Naija parlance, not doing integrity for "eye service" sake.

Damn it! Who is trying me here?

I'm so happy its just urine and not acid.

Ah. Same with me o.

Everybody should be patient like Jonathan because the world is a stage where the Yar'adua cabals are merely players.

NASS should apply Section 144 and impeach Yar'adua for incapacity to discharge his duties. Acting President can not be effective in the present situation, with Yar'adua kitchen cabinet around him. Nigeria needs to move on.

Senators well done.

Next one is impeachment of Yar'adua on ground of incapacity to discharge duties. Please hasten up. Nigeria is at a stand still. Acting President Jonathan can not be effective unless Yar'adua is impeached.

Better. I think it is now easy for the FEC rep to see him in Nigeria, without diplomatic hassles. The FEC rep should see him and brief Nigerians, and for the NASS to take a decision whether to impeach him for incapacitation or not.

It beats my imagination that a President will abandon his country for 3 months without notifying any body.

I am taken aback as to why a President will be away in a foreign land for 3 months and the president will not allow govt delegates to see him in the hospital.

I am confused that the same sick President will be smuggled back into the country without the notice of the VP or MP.

I don't know what to say now when the same President will be in the country for about 3 days now without addressing the nation.

Is this how a country should be run when citizens hear information about their President from BBC OR  Al ja zeera?

What do we call a situation were the Minister Of Information for a country is as blank about the condition of the President as the ordinary citizen?

How do one see a situation where a Chief Of Army Staff will deploy 2 Battalions of soldiers to cover the smuggling into the country of a sick President without the knowledge of the Acting President?

Is it democratic for a President to be sneaking out and sneaking into his country unannounced?

(These and many more anti-governance practices not mentioned).

I now ask, DO WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA?

How did the senators know he called Jonathan VP when none of them have seen Yar'adua face to face since his rumoured return?

Ekom doo!

Na wa o. Illegal things are really happening in this damn country.

If passed, the head of state would have 14 days to declare their absence in writing - then MPs would vote for the deputy to become acting president.

Noooooo. 14 days is too much of a time. 48 hours should be it!

This NASS wants to turn leadership in Nigeria to a jamboreeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

If the NASS is not officially aware of the presence of Yar'adua in Nigeria, the NASS should investigate the ongoing rumour and if found correct that Yar'adua is actually in the country, NASS should add the action to his impeachable offences. Period.

NASS, you are wasting time on this impeachment thing. Do something now before something do you!

The person who should resign knows himself.

Yar'adua should honourably resign or be impeached.

Soldiers of fortune should stop toying with the destiny of this great nation!

For now, mine is as dead as dodo! However, it can make One step forward, 2 steps backward 

I f Jonathan is a coward, what do you call our NASS members?

Oh, my God, See how citizens dey search for information about their President as if we are operating a secret cult system of government.

As far I am concerned,  NASS is our problem, not the kitchen cabinet of Yar'adua.

So, Jonathan can not assert himself despite the constitutional backing? Na wa for Naija o.

Yes, because he is no longer the President, until reconfirmed by NASS. He is not important for now.

Come my people, do you think Yar'adua is conscious, that is, aware of himself and the environment?
