I hate when people do this, you can;t just post a story of this magnitude without a credible source,

I quickly want to point out I am an electrical engineer. And I should be able to speak on this. I will just give you a clue to who is speaking with you. I joined IEE(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) about 2 decade ago.    And no electrical engineer that has is head on is head will ask president Yar adua to sign that agreement with  Iran.

1. first you may want to know how does nuclear power station work. they work base on uranium. where do you expect Yar adua to get uranium from.  Even nation with nuclear plant have problem in access of uranium. Why don't you go and find out the price of Uranium out there,  they do not come cheap,

Ibime:
Firstly, I am Ijaw so if anyone is happy to support Goodluck, it is me.

My guy, you should know that Ibo are my brothers and my forefathers are Ibo. Just as the descendants of Jaja of Opobo are Ibo, so am I. This is no debate. I am just saying that wouldn't it profit Ibo to work together with other tribes rather than this stand alone policy? You must admit that you scored a serious own goal by not supporting June 12th. Think tactically.

Ibime:
Make yawa gas first. . . .you go see how tory go change.

Typical Ibo man doesn't know how to play the game. . . .you had a chance to mend all rifts with the Yoruba by supporting June 12. . . . instead, you chose to sit on the sidelines and laugh that the Yoruba are getting their comeuppance. . . . let us see what will happen next time you need Yoruba help. . . they will desert you like in 1966. Iboman loves to win the battle, but will never win the war. . . .you can never realise your dreams without working with others.

Ibime:
What do you think will happen if another Southerner is denied Presidency like MKO? That one go pass play. All oil companies will burn overnight and the disturbance will spread to Ibo land. Nigeria better pray that Yar'Adua is fit enough to finish his term.

Big B1:
First, I wish Yar'Adua well and I look forward to seeing him back sound and health.

For some reasons, I truly do not think the VP has what it takes to lead this nation. He reminds me of a powerless secondary school Vice principal.

It would make more sense to re-do the presidential election; but this time around allow voters to fully control the out-come. No need to waste money on determining who is qualify to participate.

4 Play:
I would expect that if Yar'Adua were to pass away,Goodluck will serve out the rest of the remaining term before power is transfered back to the North in the next presidential elections.

MeGaStReEt:

KUDOS SIASIA, You R A LEGEND

DeepZone:
Retired? Are you from La La land? This one na political retirement. But the chief of army staff had a hint sometime last month when there were rumours that powers beyond Yaradua are putting pressure on him to retire them involuntarily and he seems to be yielding.

then we should begin to ask who our leader truely is?

Siasia: We've been through hell(FIFA.com) Thursday 21 August 2008

To hear his players talk about him, you would think Nigeria coach Samson Siasia was a father, older brother or favourite uncle. "He's the best," beams Solomon Okoronkwo, while Victor Obinna can not hide his admiration for the former French and African club champion, who represented his country at the 1994 FIFA World Cup USA™, saying: "He's a legend; when he talks we all listen."

FIFA.com sat down for an extended and exclusive interview with the former Super Eagles captain on the eve of a classic Men's Olympic Football Tournament final with fancied Argentina.

FIFA.com: Here you are in the gold-medal match. What are your impressions of the team's performances so far?
Samson Siasia: We started a little shaky with our draw against the Netherlands, but since then my players have begun to listen to me a little more closely and we're defending better and scoring goals. I'm happy with our form right now going into the gold-medal game with Argentina.

You'll be familiar with Lionel Messi from when you coached Nigeria's Under-20 team against Argentina in the final of the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in 2005. How do you stop a player like that?
Everybody knows about Argentina's players, about Messi. But we can't get caught up and I won't be putting anyone on his shoulder because that never works. We have to be careful not to commit the kinds of fouls we did in 2005 [fouls on Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero earned Argentina penalties en route to victory in the FIFA Under-20 World Cup decider]. So we need to be careful, but we also have to go and intimidate them, put a body on them and let them know we're there. As long as we attack with speed like we have so far and everybody does his job, we'll be ready to go.

You started with a goalless draw against the Dutch, but your strikers have come good since then,
We've been scoring some good goals, especially against Belgium [in a 4-1 semi-final win]. I'm happy with that. I would still say that we're a little jittery in front of goal. But we're working on that and I think we just need the boys to stay calm and focus on taking their chances quickly, but not rushing them.

Everyone was talking about the Argentina-Brazil semi-final as the 'real final.' Does it help to go in as perceived underdogs?
It's good to be going in as underdogs, of course! If you look at the polls, like 90 per cent think Argentina will win. That couldn't be better for us. The pressure will all be on them. We have good players and Argentina have good players. The difference is, all the pressure will be on them.

The players may not be under pressure, but you, as coach, are under tons of it back home in football-mad Nigeria. How do you handle it?
I handle it as best I can, and keep focussed on the job I have to do here.

Is the spirit in the team as high as it seems from the outside?
I've never known team spirit like what we have in this team. We have
this bond together that is something special. We've been through hell together, so to speak. A lot of these boys come from very tough pasts and very difficult circumstances, and here we are playing for a gold medal at the Olympics. We've suffered hardship individually and as a team, and we lost a few players along the way, but we are stronger for it.

Are the boys aware of just how big a moment this is?
The players know this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for them. In fact, it's even rarer than that. Most players never get the chance to play for a gold medal. They know that they'll never have this one back and they know how heavy it all is. If they win gold, their names will live on in Nigeria even after they die.

What makes African players - and Nigerian players in particular - special?
In Nigeria kids grow up playing for fun in the streets with their friends. They learn to express themselves early and it's that sense of individualism and creativity that makes the African players so special and so unique. There is a lot of that spirit in this team here in China. They play from their own past and with their own sense of self.

Which has been Nigeria's best game so far in China?
It would have to be the one against the Belgians (semi-final). They took the Italians apart in the game before that, playing a man down. We shocked them 4-1, we just put pressure on them all the time and it could have been 6-1. We did make a stupid mistake to concede the free-kick that led to their goal, but this was a good game for us. I was pleased. Hopefully though, we've saved the best for last.

Oh you don't  know?  BBC / Foreign media are your only sources of info ? No wonder!!!

People like me don't just take information from, i carry out my investigation to balance out things. I advice you to do thesame.

They are all due for retirement, in case you don know sir. There are two conditions for retirement in Nigeria, i.e. age and/or years of service
