All these ministers where is your boss?

Where is the President of Nigeria?

One of the reason the US put Nigeria on the lists is that it is 'a potential breeding ground for terrorists'  There are millions of nigeria who are very poor with their government spending money yanfu yanfu.  Ojo Madueke did what his boss should be doing by at least protesting. However, he Maduekwe has spent N2.5Billion Naira ( $17 million dollars) in the last year alone jetting all over the place. That is too much more when no infrastructures at home.

The President of Nigeria ( if he is alive) should have immediately put a telephone across to Obama seizing his opportunity to have a meaningful dialogue rather whinning about no invitation to visit the white House( the last time he went to see a buffon called GW Bush, he said it is the best day of his life-like a schoolboy on his first overseas visit, instead of a President of a soveregn) nation.

There are too many Islamic/muslim fundamentalist in Northern Nigerian killing christians, what stop them from exporting it like Muttalab did, go to somalia or sudn for trainning? The USA were slow to do this because it is just a matter of time before someone like Mutallab, a brainwashed religious exteremist try blowing up something overseas.

Nigeria security is very lax espescially for the rich, powerful, connected, money offered powerful anybody.

Also USA gave Nigeria four  3D body scanner for our 4 main Airports since they know the state of our Airports. NAA never use it, moreso when there may be no power/electricity. NAA were going to do their usual Nigerian factor thing, going to buy what they already have? bunch of thieves like their leaders.

The BIG ONE,  USA never trust Nigerian leaders who can lie to their own citizens about the status of their own President, why should they allow their country to be a security threat from Nigeria?

It is sad, but I for one has seen this coming for a long time, so should any rational thinking person, unlike our INSANE LEADERS who are on drugs made from Nigerian stolen money.

Guys, hate him, loathe or love him, OBJ is propably still better than all those our brothers up North.

He made several mistakes as A President, did not fit electrcity, other infrastuctures. third term saga and handing over to northern clueless person.

On the good side he paid off our national debt of nearly $30billion dollars and left $50 Billion Dollars in reserve. NEVER TOOK HOLIDAYS IN HIS 8 YEARS IN OFFICE OR WENT TO ANY FOREIGN HOSPITAL EITHER TO VISIT THEM OR OPEN A NEW SCHOOL.

Now, can you see how is dealing with issue YAR A'FAILURE should be on Air bating for Nigeria and Nigerians, because Mutallab is clearly an aberration, a misfit, infact his action is unNigerian.

A good leader must be sounding well to the world about his people even if they are the worst.

Question: where is our C-I-C , Mr. President YAR A'DO NOTHING.  He cannot even speak up to defend our Name, Nigerian name which he took oath to defend.

The Man is dead since he didn't even Know and did not comment on a very serious world affairs involving his own citizen that is bringing 140 million others to disrepute.

HE SHOULD JUST BE BURIED IN SAUDI WHERE HE HAS GONE WASTE NIGERIAS MONEY

You get what you derseve, WHERE IS YOUR PRESIDENT to bat for you and speak out publicly to the world community and defend his country as a non terrorist country except for one half Nigerian, half yemeni who was brainwashed in yemen.

Ojo Madueke only knows how to spend N2.5BILLION (as in BILLION NAIRA) - £10MILLION pounds in travel only in the last one year or so and cannot even be on the airwaves defending Nigeria.

Did anybody remember those lying ministers and FEC memebers including AGF Idonkia who should be tried for treasonable felony, they first lied that YAR A'FAILURE is watching footbal and later said that they took to him the supplementary budget to sign. He cannot even pick up telephone and call Obama in America or address his own people and the world press.

We surely need a bloody blood REVOULTION in this country to clear all liars.

Beaf:
A few days ago, the ex US ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell said it was widely expected that Yar Adua would die soon.
Whichever way things go, we must be hopeful and ready to fight for a better future. We must not allow the same old Nigerian beast to rise from the ashes of the present crisis.

Even a New born baby can predict or prophesise YAR A'DEAD. Look at the Man, and just admit that it was a miracule and millions of Nigerian monies that kept him alive up till now, BUT FOR HOW LONG?


HE IS DEAD LIKE A DEAD CAMEL BUT NOT YET ANNOUNCED FOR BURIAL. THEY ARE WAITING FOR TREASURY TO BE LOOTED, ASO ROCK CLEARED, AND APROPRIATE TIME TO RELEASE BAD NEWS WHEN NO ONE WILL NOTICE LIKE THEY DID MARYAM BABANGIDA DURING THE NIGERIAN TERROIST PERIOD.

NIGERIA WILL HAIL THEE

Kobojunkie:
They ought to have given him 24 hours MAX, but then again, I am not sure that would change anything considering we are still talking here of my people!!

coolier:
30days is too long considering he's been away for more than 30days already.

Those lawyers are simply grandstanding, they knew that by the end of this month the matter will have been resolved one way or the other. There are at least 2 matters in court already, Femi Falana and Bamidele Aturu, so those lawyers want to be seeing to be doing something.

Infact their 30days may be giving the government more rooms to manouver and do all sort of abradacabra.

WHY NOT 7 FULL DAYS, WHICH IN POLITICS IS A LONG TIME, AN ETERNITY. It is now well over 7 days that 'Nigerian bomber' nearly did his business.
A 'DEAD C-I-C' has still NOT SPOKEN A WORLD OR MAKE A WRITTEN STATEMENT VIA EITHER HIS PRESS SECRETARY OR MINISTER OF MISINFORMATION.

YAR A'DEAD LONG TIME AGO JUST LIKE MARYAM BABANGIDA BEFORE THEY HAVE THE COURAGE TO ANNOUNCE IT AND BURIED HER IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT.

@ Poster
At first you had me going - until Goodluck's 4th response. I most say it all fitted well.

Although very sad situation to be as a country, unfortunately its eating us up.

People how's the REBRANDING going.

Sorry my friend, you cannot rebrand when you have NOT got a BRAND. The 'brand' we have was made for us for us by others, and we fit the bad descriptions.

If a Rule of Law, Due Process, first graduate, 7 point agenda, vision 2020 President cannot see fit to make sure that machinery of govt function properly when he is not their, it shame on anything that needed to be rebranded.

Our 'leaders' need a mental assesement to see if they are not insane and if carried out by a proper psychiatric doctors, THEY WILL NEVER PASS.

INSANITY IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS VERY EASY TO FIND AMONG THEM.

sholasys:
I will not totally agree that he is not aware of the that fact that FEC is non exist in our constitution. He may be playing politics or delay litigation otherwise he should be sent back to law sch.

He is not playing politics, he does not know because he has NOT read the constitution. He was previously a criminal defence lawyer defending notorious fraudsters like IBORI and co, and he got his postings for several reasons, one of such is to render EFCC useless against his 'former' ( or shall we say current clients like Ibori).

In any good system a reknown criminal defence counsel will NEVER be appointed AGF because of fear of conflicts of interest. Unfortunately, this is Nigeria, and Nigerian factor of anything can happen is there.

NIGERIA, GREAT NATION, GOOD PEOPLE, DAFT AGF, DEFENDER OF AN ABSENT PRESIDENT

Choco5:
Is that all?
One line of 'goof'

I am sorry you don't know what you are talking about.  On a practical note it is more serious than 'one line goof'

Let me use an example, If you work for Virgin Nigeria as the most Senior Lawyer , and your employer ask you whom do you work for , you do not only insist that you work for Nigeria Virgin but that Nigeria Virgin is the right name and you are the one who brought up the name issue as Nigeria Virgin when the documents incorporatng the company said the Name is Virgin Nigeria. You are liable to be sacked immediately

In law, there is ocean of difference between Nigeria Virgin and Virgin Nigeria. If you an iliterate you may not know or appreciate the difference, but when there is litigation in court, then that becomes mightly important.

Infact, you sue/bring proceedings against the wrong party, you will have wasted your time, money and the judgement is unenforceable.

It is a resigning or firing offence for the Chief Law office of the country not to know the name of his employer or what was writen in the constitution. 

SHAME ON HIM.

AGF Idonkia is just a mighty big fool, he knows it, he must be on drugs made from stolen Nigerian money.

He should resign immediately.

Choco5:
Sahara Reporters what happened? it used to be about news. im so so so shocked at this pointless article.

My dear friend, it is not an article, it is called satire. A sort of comic relief as your country with his headless leader YAR A'LIAR as the Master of comedy, you also have National House of comedy with your AGF Idonkia as minister of injustice who interpret the law upside down.

Like it or loathe, SHARAREPORTER is the best that has happen to the true voices of ordinary Nigerians in a long term. All our executheives, and legislatheives are NOT up to the task. The local media are seriously compromised. If you have been paid for REBRANDING OF A COUNTRY WITHOUT A BRAND start your own website and commence the campaign. All lies and liars will be exposed.

One thousand lies canot stop one powerful truth. Long live Sharareporter, Long Live Nigeria.

The majority of the North are Hausa's. Unfortunately the Fulani's have been ruling since Othman dan fodio. They made a 'pact' with Hausa's who are in the majority, and called themslves Hausa/Fulani.

Fula's are eveywhere in the Africa northern region, they are the semi normadic people, they are from Arabian pennisula, and mostly jihadist who are strong in their Isalmic beleives. (not neccessarily extermist but have a very and strict Islamic mode of life(sharia), like a conservative christians)

The power base of Islamic North is with the Saudana of Sokoto ( the sokoto caliphate) and the Political base of the North is what is called the 'Kaduna Mafia' but it is actually Kastina because historically the Emir of Kastina is the Haed of Emirs in the North, and meetings are usually held in his domain.

The Hausa's are just the punching bags for the North whereas they don't have political power. Majority of the past Nigeria leaders from the north are either Fulani's or brought up by them.

The kaduna mafia things came up from the Military angle because that is where the Military head is based and do and undo to the rest of Nigeria.

VERY GOOD, BETTER THAN THE BEST WE HAVE IN NIGERIA.

There is no freedom of press in Nigeria for so many reasons, and a lot of them get compromised or owned by the politicians.

We should have a public owned, as in a PLC media houses to research news and report objectively.

In the kingdom of the blind, one eyed man is the KIng.

Without S.R , most information that the local press have cannot be published. The government tells too much lies that even lying by any other media is very insignificant, infact those'lies' are likely to be true.

Consider this news from Nigerian Press ' President Yar A'dull is playing football' in Saudi Arabia.  without the pictures, and video footage as it is done elsewhere, anyone can come and said he found him doing street fighting, and they may be wrong but likely to be believed.

BIG LIES make small lies insignificant. you gerrit?

FL Studio:
if yar' liar is truely dead, then turai and northern elites want to loote the nation treasures before the next election 2011 and then announce the death of her husband. Cos, if she announce it now; jonathan may take over power and some of the ministers may be replaced and the looting of nation's money from turai and northern cabal would have ended.

We need to ask the Minister of Finance to tell us as at 31st December 2009, WHAT IS THE CURRENT NIGERIAN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES.
This is the question the Press need to be asking and Lawyers should take him to court to give evidence under oath when declaring the figures. The North are looking for ways and manners to loot the nations reserves before abadoning the ship. THAT IS THEIR GAME PLAN, YAR A'DO NOTHING IS DEAD LONG TIME AGO

Bad as OBJ may be, he paid off our foreign debts from years of Northern mismanagement and fraud. Also left $50 Billion in foreign reserves, that is a record by any measure in any country of the world.

Orikinla:
I am not afraid to say this online and offline.
President Olusegun Obasanjo is a wicked liar. And the lie he told us on the health of Alhaji Umar Shehu Yar'Adua nearly cost the Governor of Katsina State his precious life as Obasanjo and his cabal of evil men in the People's Democratic Party (PDP) have been forcing the mallam to campaign in their greediness and wickedness to retain the post of the President of Nigeria at all cost and by all means.

"I know all about Umar's ailment and it has disappeared since 2001. It was a miracle. So those calling him a sick man are the ones who are sick. After all, only God can tell who is sick or not. I wonder how somebody can open his mouth and say that a human being created by God is a sick man".
~ President Olusegun Obasanjo speaking on the health of Alhaji Umaru Yar'Adua before Yar'Adua collapsed.

The most important point of the Artcile is line  1 of the 3rd paragraph which was written nearly three years ago, as relevant as if writen yesterday or today.

'The most annoying apsect is that they use the name of God in telling lies'

They even employed dishonest prophets both Christians and Muslims to buttress those lies.  YAR A'LIAR prayed 5 times a day and subject ordinary people to untold hardship.

May God bring his wrath and judgement upon the wicked leaders immediately. They should all die painfully NOW in the name of whatever god they prayed to. AMEN

chidichris:
if a whole ship can miss in nigeria, what more an ordinary yar adua that is not up to 30kg.
if news had it that yar adua is mentally ill and some say he has lost his voice, of what use is salt if it has lost its taste?
a complete yar adua was less than active what more a mentally ill yar adua without a voice.
who is sure yar adua has not gone to yemen to join the terrorist network.
i am of the suggestion nigeria officially report to the american embassy of his suspicious disappearance on time to be on the safe side.

Maybe we should report to American Embassy , CIA, FBI that a man by the name Umoru Musa YAR'LIAR is missing like the other Umoru who is loking to bomb a plane, and that he also with similar name is planning samething somewhere in the Arabian Pennisula.

Just maybe they will find his dead body out.

It is more than a disgrace that entire 140 Million people cannot be told where their suppossed 'leader' is. Astoundingly disgraceful in the year 2010.

coolier:
30days is too long considering he's been away for more than 30days already.

You are quite right, 7 days and maximum of 14 days because actions and processes will take longer. This a National emergency. A country without a leader for more than 40 days, will anyone seriously fly in an Aircraft without a pilot or on autopilot for a long time?.

I have said it number without times, if (God forbid) we have an attack coming from outside, who is our C-I-C to give orders to the Military. Since Goodluck Jonathan is nobody as far as we can see, he has no power even to swear in the new CJN nor sign supplementary budget.

YAR A'FAILURE we are told was able to sign supplemntary budget in his 'DEAD BED' after nearly 40 days of DYING but cannot forward a letter to NASS to ask for medical leave for his VP to play his role in his abscence. All he has to do is to sign a pre typed letter, but did he read or was he able to read the supplementary budget before he signs it ?.

I think our Northern brothers have overplayed their hands and importance. They have always hold this country to ransom, and it is high time the South unite and kick their butt.

I have said it number without times YAR A'DO NOTHING IS DEAD LONG TIME AGO. If they dispute it, he should address the nation on video conferencing. WE have a a 'Nigerian Al-Qaeda Terorist' and he cannot see the big impact of it on nigeria to address the country. That is my own evidence of his death and dereliction of duty. Either dead or alive, he should be impeached immediately.

I want to start 2010 in happy mood and not be unhappy for some useless politicians.

The country called Nigeria is a big fraud from inception. The southern Nigerians people are the biggest fools, the minorities in the North have no choice.

In nearly 50 years of Independence, the North has ruled Nigeria for almost 40 of those 50 years. They have grown accustomed to power, infact in the 80's they developed something called 'BORN TO RULE'

Because Yoruba's and Igbos will never see eye to eye, the North are enjoying this divide and rule at the expenses of even the South south.

The North are the most dishonest people in Nigeria, they may not be doing 419 because they are doing something bigger than 419, tapping the resources of the south and spending money yanfu yanfu without doing a single work in their lives, IBB, Abacha children etc include YAR A'LIAR children marrying Governors left right and centre are good examples. Their entire 100 years salary cannot afford the wealth and lifestyle they have.

The Military hierechy was occupied by the core North, They killed most Lantang officers who are very well educated, Bissalla, Dimka, Maman Vatsa etc these are no coincident, they killed MKO Abiola until Yourba's stand firm before they 'put' OBJ in that office, and they regretted it.

Before they put OBJ in office, they made a silly, fraudulent and propably unconstitutional pact, called POWER SHARING saying that South will have the power for 8 years and then goes back to the North. THAT IS THE SOLE REASON A DEAD MAN IS STILL BEING THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA

That was a big mistake on the pact of OBJ not to have used the power of incubency to change it and give it to at least a South South person if there is still any Biafan trust issues with the South East. The South deserved to have the power at least another 20 years to at least half the period the North have got the power. That is called justice

I am Not form Niger Delta, but if Jonathan Goodluck does not become the President as thins stand, neither the South East or South South or the South will get that office come 2015, the North will change the rules of the game come 2015 by having term extension or whatever, failing that , there will be a Military coup.

I prayed that most of us to be alive then.  Go back to my views and predicition over the years , you will see that it is spot on. YAR A'LIAR is just a CLUELESS failure who has no idea nothwithstanding some useless Chemistry degree from some technical college called university from the North.

First Graduate President my foot. A Palm Wine Tapper in some village in the South would propably have better common sense than him. They then start to invoke God's name to fool everyone when it comes to disclosure about state of health of the President. He is a govt of Nigerian Employee like any other civil servant. He must disclose nature of his illness and when the treatment will be completed and who is paying for it, and in the meantime someone must do his duties. He was shouting Rule of Law and due Process all the time as if he knew what he was talking about.

Did that Man looked like a leader to you?, will any leader of any country take him serious. Leaders all over the world think Nigerians are sick people because our leader is so sick that they can see it.

As far as I am concerned, the North are a big time joke, they don't understand us in the south, they just see us as impatient people because to them development is a miracle not a process.

If this country is ruled in another 100 years by those Northern misfit, NOTHING WILL CHNGE, I DARE SAY NOTHING

Infact, the reason why we are having this debate about ROTATIONAL PRESIDENCY is because of the sheer incompetency of the North as demonstrated currently by YAR A'DO NOTHING, he took his 'GRANDFATHER OFFICE WITH HIM TO A SICK BED IN SAUDI ARABIA'

If the North have been competent, they can rule for 100 years nobody will notice. Since they are very incompetent, they shouild let the south have it for several years to come.  I stand to be corrected, OBJ propably did more than any Northern Leader of the last 20 years.

The North are simply incapable. Period

hermosa:
he's muslim, if he was dead we'd have heard about it. cos they bury them the same day. plus it's not fair to wish another human dead

Nonsense, our 'leaders' including YAR A'LIAR used religion as it suit them. They are not true christians or muslims, an Aetheis or idol worshipper is better than them.

A true or good muslim will not lie bar faced and invoked religon when it is convenient for them. The man Yar A'Do nothing is medicaly dead, all that his wife and cronies are working on is the 'spiritual angle looking for a miracle like Abacha when he was terminaly ill.

I also think that the cabals and cronies are looking for a way to sort out the Leadership problem.

The Man Yar A'Failure has been told by German doctors that unless suitable matching organs are found, he is dead long time ago, they kept him going with advance medicine but God is greater than all medicine. Ask yourselves why would they ( Yar A'dull and his cronies) prefer Saudi Hospital than the German ones, for several reasons I will offer to suggest, one, they can use Hajj or less Hajj as a camoflagoue for his travelling for medicals, two, he has been told that it is all a waste of time and money, and they don't want to accept it, three, The Germans have a free press that will report on his condition dead or alive and the costs to Nigerian Tax payers. Those are part of the reasons why they send him to Saudi Arabia because the medicine in Germany is superior to Saudi Arabia.

God is the Lessor of our lives and can bring the Lease of our lives to end when he wants.

Another issue why the North does not want to declare that the man is dead is the sucession of Jonathan Goodluck. They don't want it, they rather have a military coup. Evidence, Yar A'dull couldn't even handover temporarily when he is seriously sick for up on till now to the point that one CJN ended up swearing in another CJN when we have a Vice President.

May our bad leaders rot in this world before they rot in hell.

And some foolish people are saying

SOLUDO IS THE SOLUTION in Anambra, when he was wining and dining with thieves and fraudstaers when he suppossed to be regulating this bank thieves.

SOLUDO also should be in jail rather than contesting with 'ill gotten' money for the governorship of Anambra. I wonder why Sanusi Lamido is not making a strong report to NASS and Presidency about his predecessor big failures in regulation oversight.

In the absence of Facts based on truth persistent rumours becomes facts.

If I say that the President is getting training from Al-Qaeda in Yemen, will I be wrong? of course not, because between Yar A'liar and FEC and NASS they continue to conspire to keep the truth about the 'leader' of this country to themselves when he is a public figure. I think that shows the level of contempt those in position of power have for Nigerians.

As far as I am concerned the President is DEAD (within in the medical definition) until he can be shown otherwise why is he keeping silent.

If Yar A'do nothing has an employee who went AWOL for 40 days without any information about his/her situation, would he wait further before firing him? Mr. President, you are a disgrace to Nigeria and Africa. We all get sick but as a leader of a country you owe your citizen an explanation of why we should allow you to be in office you are clearly incapable of managing.

Where is OBJ, what is he saying, what does he know?

Remember the name

YAR A'LIAR.

I have told you about him long ago. Let me even be more sacarctic, COME DECEMBER 2010, there will still be NO 6,000MW.

YAR A'CLULESS is the same as YAR A'DO NOTHING, and ultimately YAR A'FAILURE. the office of the President is usualy above the paygrade of those Northern oligarchy. All they know is sharing monies according to a formula known as sadakat what christians will call Thithe and Offerings.

The difference is that one comes from the state monies and the other comes from private pockets ( majority by southern christian leaders are also stolen from the state and given in thithes and offerings as if it is a legitimately made business profis or income)

God is extraordinary patience, and we are enjoying so much grace.

On your question, you will not even get 1,000MW because your President is busying trying to get power to bring his life back.

It may be disgruntle employee or faulty electricl wiring or electronics, power outage that spark fire etc.

On the other hand, it may be handiwork of some govt people. You cannot put it pass them, thy are fighting AIT in court, they will do so phyically if possible.

I do know whether Nigeria can accommodate free press ( Gbenga Aruleba Focus Nigeria comes to mind) PDP and Nigerian political parties are nothing more than a 'COLLECTION OF THUGS AND AREA BOYS/GIRLS'

As per FELA democracy in Nigeria is DEMONSTRATION OF CRAZINESS.

Dokpesi has been very smart or got lucky when he floated AIT on the stock exchange, it is the shareholders monies that is going ablaze. Hopefully the company we have insurance.

Dokpesi may not like OBJ ( who will yap you with his mouth) for his silly 3rd term agenda but he would now regret YAR A'FAILURE and his cronies for taking away the freedom of the Press.

If we have a President, a leader in this country, thenoise he should be making all over the Nes station like CNN, BBC etc is that the father gave intelligence information and warn the rightful authorities and that action is unNigerian , and Nigerians shoul not be looked t in that light.

Unfortunately, we don't have a President and a leader but bunch of thieves and liars so they don't even have any moral authority.

I prayed that someone will keep this information in forefront like OBAMA did to say that Nigerians are not in any shape or form has anything to do with that terrorist guy.

The question is what are we as citizen or even Nigerian govt supposed to do when we have information regarding 'a suspicious person' other than to inform appopriate authorities, in this case the Americans in particular, and I think Nigerian should be commended especially the father.

Hopefully, the press in America and the UK will report to say that is not a Nigerian thing but more like YEMEN, that a young naive man who happen to be a Nigerian citizen was brainwashed and use for a despicable act, thank God, it did not succed.

The only guilt is that Nigerian security agencies don't appear to have terrorist lists to work from? and a President without a clue.

Yes o,

It wil be breaking news soon, President Yar A'liar of Nigeria is missing : CNN, BBC AP REUTERS

AGF Idonkia ; that is not true

Newsreporters: where is the President?

AGF Idonkia; In Saudi Arabia hospital somewhere

Newsreporters; why don't you ask him to spek and comment on current issues including Terrorism by his National and the fact that the news said that he was missing

AGF Idonkia; I have the power to say what he will like or might want to say, between me and Turai we know exactly wht the President want to say , and we say and act it

Newsreporter; we understand he is dead and you are just covering up, what have you got to say to that?

AGF idonkia ; Gd forbid, he my be asleep but not daeth until doctor omes up and say that, but we wouldn't allow them to say it by some archaic Law in Nigerian constitution

Newsrepoter; You sound like you know everything mr Idonkia?

AGF Idonkia; yes i do, I know Nigeria even before I was born, I prt of born to rule people.

Newsreporter; Thank you and have a nice day

AGF idonkia: and you too, make sure you publish good things in your papers and not that rubbish we have ben talking about th last few minutes, because the Presidnt will reward you both in cash and National award whenever he make it back and choose what next to do.

PRESIDENT YAR A'DULL IS MISSING AND SHOULD BE PRESUMED DEAD UNTIL HE CAN ADDRESS THE NATION WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS

I am sorry to say that  YAR A'LIAR IS DEAD until he can otherwise appears on Nigerian TV and addres Nigerians including his whereabout for the last 38 days and his take on world events including a nigerian terrorist.

And for the daft leader to tell me and other Nigerians that in his abscence for 38days who is our commander in chief, and where does AGF Idonkia has his authority from to say someone can be in hospital (in a coma) and give orders when his state of mind cannot be confirmed.

It is either YAR A'FAILURE is mad or dead, either way, by operation of the law s.145 or 146 he is incapacitated, and unfit for the office. I have said it number without times that if God forbid we have a war declared against us, who will give orders to our troop since he has taken his authorty with him to Saudi Arabia.

Nonsense we call sense. and it simply confirms what is called madness when someone start to behave irrational which is what Yar A'do nothing and his cronies are doing. The office of the Presidency is not his father's property, nor that of the Kaduna/kastina Mafia or Northern people.

Whatever arrangement is betwen the PDP and his members are their problem, not authorised by the constitution of Nigeria.

A simple media enquiry has just revealed the sham and charade including contempt for the citizens of Nigeria.

In a nutshell, as far as I am concerned the man is dead, hospital told family facts they are in self denial, forced the medics to ontinue life support while the marabouts performs their usual lying act ( maybe Turai want to ask Mrs. Abacha).

Our bretherns in the North aid and abetted by the dubious AGF Idonkia continues to put this country at second best while their stealing interest comes first.

I always like a United Nigeria but It is very clear that the North is only interested in having power to conrol the country forever whilst they are very incompetent having ruled this country for almost 40 years out of 49years of independence. If not for the OIL, the North will not be interested in Nigeria, it will even be worse if OILis found in their domain.

They have proved the south east right to say that everybody should go their own way and call themselves whatever name they chose for their new country presumably, ARewa, Oduduwa, Biafra and may be Republic of Niger Delta.

If Goodluck Johanthan does not becomes the substntive president of theis country under whatever disguise including military, Nigeria is finished and MEND would make sure they govt will not lift a single litre of OIL from Nger Delta.

By the way I am not from the Niger Delta but one should voiced out when one can see a cler act of injustice. The North cabal are arogant and daylight pen Robber, as per FELA KUTI - AUTHORITY STEALING

Whether or not YAR A'LIAR resigns, he is not fit to be the President of Nigeria. He has not spoken to his citizens for 36 days with all the rumours, he is a bloody fool. Only the supreme court can safe us,  he will not resign neither will NASS impeached him. The are all colaborator and conspirators. All the FEC and minsiters are particular about their jobs and not the welfare of NIgerians. Barawo bansa

Imeobong:
Only God knows how painful Maryam Babangida's death has been to her husband of 40 years, Ibrahim. From all indications, it must have been very painful. They had never been separated for four decades, living together through the good, tough and bad times. When Babangida annulled a free and fair election in 1993 and was given the boot, he found comfort in his wife. She was never known to have failed to render him unconditional love and support. Even when Babangida character as a ruthless dictator was in play, Maryam never spoke badly about anything her husband did. Contrarily, she used her husband's position to her greatest benefit.

How bad it must have been for Ibrahim to have spent the last few months like an ordinary human being attending to a sick wife in the United States? One of Nigeria's richest and most crowding-drawing leaders must have been humbled, going back and forth in an American hospital to care for a sick wife. Babangida was not ordinary. He had lots of money. He could have bought the hospital where his wife died and all the medical staff, if he wished, and shipped them to Minna. What went wrong? This did not happen, did it?

Nigerian leaders know when they leave the shores of Africa, they lose the air of importance accorded at home. Quite often, they drive their own cars and are treated with courtesy but with none of the 'rankadede' accompaniments in Nigeria. When they eat their snacks, they have to throw the wrap in the bin like everyone else. When they go to the post office, they have to wait in line as everyone else. When they get to the airport, they must obey the rules. It must have been very humbling for Ibrahim Babangida to have gone through the 'disrespect' of the American life while at the same time tendering to a seriously ill wife.

Ibrahim would have wished he didn't have to bring Maryam to the United States for treatment at some point during the treatment. I am qualified to paint a picture of Babangida's last few months in the United States. Not only do I live here, but my mother-in-law was treated around the same time Maryam was hospitalized in California for an identical medical condition Mrs. Babangida died of at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Jersey. They are about the same age and my mother-in-law gave birth to my wife the same year Maryam got married. You could say they had a lot in common, except, perhaps, better life for richer women! My wife's mom is surviving. My wife and I had no problems whatsoever with meeting the conditions of the treatment, but I do know for a fact, it must have been difficult for a man of IBB's caliber to sit like a mere mortal in a US hospital.

I can imagine how the courteous nurses and doctors at the hospital talked to Babangida as if he was just another human being. "Can you please stand outside for a few minutes, Sir?" Can you move your legs there for a minute, Sir?” “Can you please come back at 7pm, Sir?" "What did you say you name was again, Sir – can you spell it?" "Is it true that you were an important government official in the Caribbean, Sir?" I can almost see how the medical center's security men made him wait before entry and the cleaners cast him a bad look for littering the floor. How Ibrahim Babangida must have been brought back to earth in the last few months of his wife's presence on earth.

First, the generosity of the American government in allowing Babangida - a man who had been refused entry for so long - to join his wife on compassionate grounds must be hailed. They could have said no to his visa application, even when America stood to benefit from the millions of dollars that would be spent on treatment and by IBB's crowd of sympathizers who visited and shopped in the process. Thank you, America.

The point here is that Mrs. Babangida's death reveals how money has its limits and what price we pay for not doing the right thing at the right time.

Ovarian cancer is not such a medical condition that Nigerian hospitals should not have been able to treat after almost 50 years of our independence. The human resources to provide the best medical services exist in Nigeria, but the material resources are lacking. We lack the resources because Nigerian leaders have refused to provide them, thinking selfishly that if they stole enough, they would travel abroad to get anything they required. Instead of developing the nation that has been good to them, they steal catastrophic amounts of the public funds and afford themselves exclusive and exotic expenses such as the overseas medical treatment that did not save Mrs. Babangida's life. Fortunately (yes, fortunately), Ibrahim is perhaps the best example of bad leadership that got Nigeria in such a state where even mid-level civil servants seek medical treatment abroad.

When my dad died four years ago in Nigeria, no explanation was given of what he died of. He had been treated at local clinics and a university teaching hospital. They never told us what medical condition he lost his life to. They simply didn't know. And we didn't bother to press them, knowing the hospitals lacked the diagnostic capacity to provide an intelligent answer. You only have to visit Nigerian hospitals to know how bad the situation is. A friend, who migrated to the United States two years ago, an unbelievable story of his eye surgery. He was left in pains for several days because there were no drugs, even though he was receiving treatment in a military hospital as a member of the Navy.

Babangida and his cohorts looted Nigeria. They turned hospitals to consulting clinics and universities to glorified high schools. They took their own children from the system and sent them to the best schools abroad. They took from many and gave to a few. Nigeria became what Tell Magazine described as 'Rich Men, Poor Nation." While less endowed nations were taking great strides, Nigeria became a nation whose progress can only be seen through Lekki, Victoria Island and Abuja, while focus is lost on the abject poverty in our villages, towns and cities.

While sending Maryam abroad has not saved her life, sending the children of the rich to school abroad has also resulted in an unintended consequence of international terrorism. Maryam and Farouk Mutallab have provided a weekend of deep reflection for Nigeria's rich.

Ibrahim and Maryam Babangida have no endowment at any Nigerian university. They did not contribute any money to any teaching hospital to cause any improvement or change. They did not build any hospital or local health center, neither did they put any money down to fight any major disease. Instead, they spent their money and time on frivolities.

The Babangida family did not use Maryam’s medical condition to attract attention to this disease that affects millions, as most sensible public figures do. Instead they lied to the end - telling Nigeria that all was well. No public statement was issued, even when the rumor mill was rife. The Maradona lied and hid in America as a common citizen.  

The answer to our greatness is not in seeking solutions with stolen money outside of our shores, but in serving the people honestly and diligently.  

Looking at it this way, Babangida could have contributed to the death of his wife: if Babangida had done something about the hospitals in Nigeria, the wife would probably have been tended to like a queen in Nigeria and her condition would have been correctly diagnosed and treated before it became terminal.
Againstbabangida.com wishes that Babangida will get over his loss through sober reflection, regret and a readiness for restitution. We will not join the gang of hypocrites and fail to tell him the truth. And this is the truth: We sympathize with Ibrahim Babangida on the death of his wife's, but our greatest sympathy goes to Nigerian women who suffer the same condition as Maryam but would never know what it is because they will not be correctly diagnosed by the medical system that Babangida bequeathed through corruption.

This piece is well written. Unfortunately niether will IBB, and his cronies wil read it or take any heed or lesson from that loss.

This is exactly what YAR 'FAILURE and all the politicians and people around him and before him does. Basterdise our own health and educational system, and send themselves and their families on the country's monies to a foreign country.

Made the Lord's judgement come speedily on all of them. EVIL GENIUS

Which of the station branches because the AIT international is showing on my laptop.

Hey, how do I access AIT international from my laptop?

Not advising the President properly or adequately should be a treasonbly felony offence (and ordinary citizens should be able to bring private prosecution). All the men surrounding YAR A'CLUELESS form AGF Idonkia to NASS leadership should be in jail because all they are protecting is their self interest. YAR A'DULL is almost completely dead, and they are just looking for exit startegy but in the meantime they are looting the treasury and holding the country to a ransom.

For the President not have make a statement on an issue that will define Nigeria and Nigerians for another decade or more is tantamous to dereliction of duty, irresponsiblity and gross negligence of duty as Commander in Chief.

The international community is now labelling Nigerians terrorists and we don't have a President even a radio/television address to the Nation and the world community is very serious impeachable offence, luckily for YAR A'FAILURE we have National House of Comedy who are even more silly than the President.

Only God will save us in this country from lunatics and animals. YAR A'DO NOTHING may or may not be aware but whichever way the buck stop with him, as the President and CIC of this country, he should not only be aware, but must respond. On this alone he is a complete failure. Imagine if Nigerians are held hostage somewhere or we need our military to take actions, he will still be in his useless hospital 'claiming' to know nothing. Ignorance of situation is not an excuse for a President. By virtue of his office, he is deemed to know every important national and international issues affecting Nigeria, otherwise it confirms his incompetence and inability to 'lead' Nigeria.  RESIGINING IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR AND DO ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS.

Nigerians will accept proxy resignation via Turai, the President wife since nobody is allow to see him anymore. The guy is a public property and Nigerians are entitled to know the situation with him.

'Work begins on billion dollar project' is a familiar headline in Nigeria. I'm only interested in finished projects.

What date, as in month and year the project is scheduled to finish. There was an announcement about a year ago that work is begining and finishing in 2011.

The work has still yet to begin, when exactly is the work begining(as one report claimed is still in a drawing board stage), BUT most importantly which month in 2011 is the Project to complete and use commence.

We should applaud finishers and not starters that abadon mid position. We love and salute BRF govt nothwithsatnding ambiguity is the mother of confusion, take that away from the statement.

If each state in Northerrn Nigeria has one Col. Umar, the North can 'rule forever' because they will have the interest of Nigerians and Nigeria at heart.

Col. Umar is on record as the only serving officer under IBB to publicly and openly challenged him on the annullment of 12 June 1993 election.

The FEC, cabinet and NASS are the collaborator and conspirators with Turai that were telling YAR A'CLUELESS not to resign, and he foolishly because he does not have his own mind or courage or he is afraid that Turai might leave him decided to sit put at the expense of the interest of this country.

If he does not leave the office willingly, office will leave him when the lessor of his life terminate the lease, maybe he should ask IBB about Maryam.

I think the supreme court has to make a ruling about s.145 because this YAR A'LIAR is 'dead' unless he can show cause otherwise by his appearance in NIgeria within 7 days with full medical report and medical history.

This will strengthen BNP in Britain, Islam extremist are contributing real havoc to the entire world, why blow up a plane with kids, Mothers and Fathers who have loved ones waiting for them back at home just because your religion think it is the right thing to do! what kind of people practice such religion anyway

This people are extermist and violent people, and not in anyway religious or have any faith. They are just using religion as cover. Both Christian and muslim are religion of peace and love. some mental retarded persons have hijacked Islam in particular to spew hatred. Those people are not muslim because there will be at least 10-50 good muslims on that pane, how can yu blow up your' brothers/sisters' even if you think others ar 'infidels'

Secondly, the quote author please change your screen name, we have enough violent in the world

God bless you and all people of peace loving faith. The incident has nothing to do with Nigeria, except the stupid boy is carying a Nigerian passport , he got his training in Yemen. He does not live in Nigeria even though his father is Nigerian, his mother side are from Yemen
