A renowned lawyer and senior advocate of Nigeria Femi Falana have condemned President Muhammadu Buhari for not disclosed the status of his health condition to Nigeria.

Falana said Nigerians have the right to know the health status of a sitting president.

Speaking on a Channel television’s programme, Falana said even if the law does not mandate the president to make such disclosures, Nigerians deserve to know his health status.

“Under the Freedom of Information Act, the right to health is supposed to be shrouded in secrecy but I am saying now that henceforth, this situation calls for a review of the law so that we won’t be left guessing next time,” Falana said.

“We are talking of the President. Many state governors go in and out of the country, some for a month or two, some for three months without anybody asking any question and without any handover to their deputies,” he said.

The senior lawyer said the system has been structured in a manner that a public office holder does not have to be secretive about issues concerning him.

Falana said: “But I am saying that with what we are going through now, we must come to appreciate that if you are going into public office, you have no secrecy.”

“It is our duty and right and the President took cognizance of that last year when he disclosed to Nigerians what he was going abroad for. This year should not be an exception.

“This is what has given room to a lot of rumours and speculation which are totally uncalled for,” he said.

President Muhammadu Buhari had written to the Senate to extend his initial 10-days’ vacation.

However, the president’s letter has raised controversies with Nigerians calling for a total disclosure of the Buhari present health status

Meanwhile, the vice president Yemi Osinbajo has assumed duty as the acting president of Nigeria.

ABUJA – The Save Nigeria Group, SNG, Tuesday, issued a 74 hours ultimatum within to the the presidency to furnish it with full information on the health situation of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is currently believe to be receiving medical attention in London.

The SNG, which made the request via a letter, entitled “Request for information on President Muhammadu Buhari’s health status” and addressed to the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, urged to be availed information urgently in order to reduce tension on state of Mr. President’s health.

According to the letter containing the request which was acknowledged to have been received on February 7, 2017 by the office of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice and made available to Vanguard in Abuja, the group warned that it will take all other necessary legitimate and legal steps should the authorities ignore the request.


According to the letter signed by Barrister Benedict Ezeagu, the National Coordinator, SNG, “This ugly development, including denial, conditional admission and restriction of access to President Buhari and the true information on his health status is reminiscence of the late President Yar’Adua’s incident which our revered organisation was at the forefront of its peaceful resolution and this is not good for Nigeria at this critical period of economic downturn , nationwide insecurity, and political strife.

“As you may know, the lack of clearness in handling the ‘vacation’ turned ‘medical trip’ of Mr. President has heightened the rumours and speculations about his health, the most frightening of which is that President Muhammadu Buhari had passed on or he has been in coma or on life-supporting machine, and thus increasing the political tension in the country.

“Since Mr. President is not a private citizen but a public servant whose health bills are currently being paid from the country’s treasury, Nigerians deserves the right to know the true state of his health as obtainable in enlightened republics.

“In the light of the foregoing Sir, while we join other Nigerians to pray for Mr. President in line with the request of the Presidency, we herby demand for full information on the health status of President Muhammadu Buhari in exercise of the rights granted us by section 39 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, the freedom of information Act and Article 9 of African charter on Human and people’s rights, as this will help dispel these rumours and speculations and reduce the current political tension in the country.

“Please sir, take notice that if we are not availed of the requested information within 74 hours of your receipt of this letter, we will have no alternative than to take all other necessary legitimate and legal steps, including approaching the National Assembly to activate relevant sections of the Constitution with regard to the health of a Nigerian president as well as institute court actions and organise peaceful protests among others, to ensure that we are availed of these rights guaranteed Nigerians by the laws.

Greetings again, I come with my everyday challenges with women.

Now yesterday's evening, I was with a girl of 23 in a school that's yet to be completely built, she actually teaches there. I was passing around 3:30pm after school hours and what I heard was (so u can't greet abi) I just smiled and turned to her window which was facing outside, so I told her I wanna get something and I'll see her when coming back but she declined and insisted I see her that time. I went and Looked her in the eyes and she kept starring back at me till I interrupted the gaze and found out she was taking 2 kids on extra lessons,i commended her on her good job and she asked me to come in through the entrance,to which I agreed. Note: these 2kids are just 2 years of age lol


I got inside and came straight to where she was sitted, I rubbed on her cheek and she just smiled and requested she checks out my newly acquired phone, I gave it to her and walked my hand on her back, she didn't say anything.. .but the kids were looking, so I sat beside her as she checked my phone. Just then, my girlfriend called and I picked up,she started sounding suspicious but I found my way out of it. After my call was done, this girl dismissed the two kids asked them to go home. After they left, I moved to her and looked into her eyes and realized I was lusting after this girl....

I asked her to stand up cos I wanna check out her butt and she smiled and said no, asking why I wanna check it out, I grabbed her both hands and tried pulling her up but she still sat the, so I just sat by her and acted like I was disappointed,so she stood up and I just realized this girl was going to be tight, and she's slim but with a large butt.. .i felt this lustfulness taking a hold on me, she was stuffing some things into her back and I was already viewing her naked before my Very eyes, so I slowly walked to her and grabbed her waist from the rear, then I whispered this to her (you know you're the only girl I've been this close with, and ur body is so sexy) she looked at me and smiled, I kissed her neck, hitting my dickon her ass slowly and she said NOTHING, just mute and smiling.. While I was looking for her zip to take it down, we heard foot steps approaching and dang! It was her sister, I acted like nothing was going on.


The sister paused a min, before telling her what she wanna tell her and left, I continued humping my dick On her Ass and touching her cheek before I turned her face and kissed her.. She looked at me with a surprised face and was like hmm....i turned her facing me and was about pulling her close when her sister came again leaving the keys to their house with her cos she seem to be going somewhere, she collected it and asked me to meet her there today after school hrs and I did, but this time I went with 4 condoms, she wanted to fix me raw but I told her I came with an helmet and yeah, I fuxked her but she said she did it because she likes me, that her boyfriend isn't gonna be happy if he finds out but I shouldn't worry,she knows how to handle him.


Immediately she said this, guilt and sadness circulated my heart, I kissed her and told her I'm sorry, that I never knew she was dating, she said its okay, but I told her we shouldn't do this again, she then asked me if I didn't like it and I just walked out on her..

did I do the right thing guys? My soul is filled with guilt and my conscience isnt helping matters..

Hadez.. .what do I do Biko?
