may dis romour neva be true in Jesus Name amen...I truly hope our mummy and first lady makes it back to
Nigeria alive, we as a nation do not need this now. All
these reports are getting scary finally

onatisi:
you are a bloody waste of time ,go and tell ur employers that u are incapable of defending them and that nigerians reject their stupid dumb bullshit story .and please get ur fact right before peddling trash.

Like I guessed you are a retardd that cant even defend his opinion.

is this the best the 40 laptop crew can do? Can you talk to your supervisor to find the meaning of "rumour" and help you out cos you seemed to be out of your depth here

SaharaReporters just confirmed that President Goodluck Jonathan made a hasty departure from Botswana, cutting down his state visit by one day.

A source traveling with Jonathan in Malawi and Botswana told SaharaReporters that the president’s surprising and sudden departure has increased speculations among members of his delegation that his wife’s health condition may have taken a bad turn. “Some of us are even fearing that the First Lady may be dead,” our source said.

The only thing Sahara confirmed here is that Retardeen Jonathan cut his trip short to return home. Let anyone debunk that first.

His sudden return "fuelled speculations" Can you make a research on what the quoted phrase means.

E.g Osaze's substitution fuelled speculations that there might be a rift between him and the coach.

Is the statement above any proof that Osaze and the coach are fighting? DULLARD?

Bukkyade: Sahara reporter always spreading rumors. Their sources are never mentioned, the first lady is live and would be back soon.

are u in germany with her?

a ruptured appendicitis can and has been survived, but not when this happens in a 15 hour flight.
you will die of complications from failing infected organs, simply put, your major organs will begin to shutdown.

Trust me, though sad, this is a welcome development. Now they will see the need for good medicare in this country
that they need to quit flying abroad for treatment on our money, and focus on having equiped facilities in all 36 states. How about the average citizen who can not jet out?

u simply just confirmed what i have been suspecting ,you are mentally retarded.i asked u a simple question nd u are saying rubbish,nigerians dont want to know what ur dumb ass and ur stupid sources are saying,everyone is concerned and the question they are sking is she dead or alive if u cant answer that precisely then just go and take a nap.nigerians have enough trouble on their hands already.

i cant believe that woman is dead, atleast GEJ will spend 250million naira for food now.... good news for the populace

Our madam dey sick nd d husband is hidiing it.som go even talk say na plastic surgery she go do.y cnt u open up 2 his pple so dat we can pray.lets see hw long u can hide ur wife,GEJ.

onatisi:
sahara man ,look if she is dead we cant do anything about it .but i hve a questin for u,when yaradua died that wasnt a rumour becos he was actually dead now tell me ARE YOU PERFECTLY CERTAIN THAT THE FIRST LADY IS DEAD?PLS SIMPLE YES OR NO

I must ask, respectfully, were you on Mars when events played out? NEXT234 stated boldly, long before official confirmation, that Yar Adua was brain dead and in a coma!!!! The Nigerian Government stated that next234 were "peddling" rumours while GEJ went along with the lie he had spoken to Yar Adua and Aliero claimed Yar Adua was recuperating via running on a threadmill !!!!!

NEXT234 then publicly stated that it stood by it's story and challenged the FG to sue. The rest, as they say, is history. Talk such as yours is what confirms to me that Nigeria is doomed because it shows leader and followers are unable to learn from the past to evolve quickly as is the case elsewhere.


This turn of events is a disgrace considering everything Nigeria went through over the Yar Adua issue and I am surprised any sensible Nigerian will join issues with the news source that revealed the first Lady was ill to begin with while sparing GEJ very harsh reprimand. He is the President.

If we are a politically sophisticated people focused on good governance, we must be far more concerned about the disdainful conduct of the President - especially given he had also been a victim of this sort of disdain for transparency and respect for the public's 'need to know'.


The substantive issue for me is that Jonathan is a very unpresidential President who feels he owes Nigerians nothing. Everything is his own 'private business' and he does not "give a damn" about revealing anything to us. Lest it is not clear to people like you and others, the Nation may suffer for this because the right things are not being done. If GEJ had been honest, then he could have time off to be with his wife so that the Nation does not suffer due to distracted leadership.

Illness is nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Adults acknowledge and deal with illness. Remember what is written below all those in Government passed off as rumours? The talk of you and others here, limited to attacking saharareporters is proof we don't learn from mistakes and will be misled for a long time to come by undeserving opportunist.

Other nations will be saying "never again". Instead Nigerians are attacking saharareporters while missing what is very obvious : The President given vast resources and powers to lead Nigerian is not an honest or sincere man. No attack on Saharareporters can blind balanced folks from seeing what is obvious. It is a shame Nigerians, leaders and followers, continue to show the world we are incapable of gaining the right lessons from the past. This is why our Nation will remain awful for a long time.

Yar Adua Brain Damaged (according to 234Next.com)
JAGUDA JANUARY 10, 2010 11


This is breaking news from 234next.com. The President of Nigeria is allegedly brain dead. Please read story below from 234next.com.

President Umaru Yar’Adua is seriously brain damaged, is not able to recognise anyone, including his wife Turai, and can no longer perform the functions of the office of the president, according to multiple sources who have spoken to NEXT on Sunday.

But this fact, which has left a nation of 150 million people rudderless and its government in disarray, is being concealed from the public through an elaborate scam orchestrated directly and energetically by the First Lady.

Turai Yar’Adua has barred all but two security and one civilian aide, and a legislator from having access to the president in a two-tier power loop of which she is the organising principal. The inner core consists of the president’s chief security officer, Mohammed Tilde, and his military ADC, Mustapha Onoedieva; an infantry colonel from Edo State. Through Mrs. Yar’Adua, this small knot works with Shehu Inuwa Imam, a member of the House of Representatives from Katsina State who is the president’s childhood friend; Tanimu Yakubu, the president’s chief economic adviser; and Sayyadi Abba Ruma, the agriculture minister. She is also aided by Inuwa Baba, the senior private adviser to the president on protocol matters.

Mr. Baba is an old Yar’Adua family friend, so loyal that he once got into prison uniform to stay behind bars with Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, the elder brother of the current president. who died in Abacha’s gulag in 1999.

The group has blocked all direct access to the rapidly ailing president, said sources in Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf region and in Europe and the US.

Despite several trips to Saudi Arabia, no other Nigerian government official, including the president’s principal private secretary, ministers, and governors, has succeeded in seeing the president, who vanished from our country 50 days ago and has not been heard from since.

Grand deception

The people working frantically to keep up this ruse, including Mr. Yakubu, have also gone to great lengths to deceive the public, by claiming they have spoken to a president who is unable to speak and has lost all powers of cognition.

In fact, we can confirm that senior government officials lied when they claimed that Vice President Goodluck Jonathan, who is next in line to succeed Mr. Yar’Adua, has spoken directly to the president.

Although Mr. Jonathan subsequently went along with the charade, he has confided in several people in recent days that he did not speak to the president at all, according to informed sources. “He is trying not to create any friction because he knows he is about to become the next president,” one source told our reporters.

In a telephone conversation with NEXT on Sunday, the Attorney General of the Federation, Michael Aondoakaa, emphatically dismissed any notion that the president did not speak to any of the state officials. Mr. Aondoakaa said the vice president confirmed this claim himself that the dialogue took place,”No, that cannot be the case,” Mr. Aondoakaa insisted on Friday.

Mrs. Yar’Adua now relies on an all-Saudi staff, including drivers, security personnel and others, in the hope that no Nigerian outside her Gang of Three on the ground in Jeddah can tell for certain what is going on. Such is the nearly impregnable ring of steel thrown around the fading leader that even his principal private secretary, David Edevbie, was unable to see him when he recently travelled to Saudi Arabia, ostensibly to get the “president” to sign the budget. We have learned that Mr. Edevbie was restricted to his hotel, where he received a visit from the president’s chief security officer, who collected the documents and subsequently returned them “signed.”

He may never come back

Even the president’s closest and most powerful aides have accepted that Mr. Yar’Adua may never return as president. “It is over for this president,” said one source at the centre of the nation’s political firmament. “The question is when and how.”

Virtually all those who spoke to NEXT did so on condition of anonymity, reflecting the sensitivity surrounding the president’s rapidly deteriorating health and their own political calculations during an inevitable transition.

While the end is virtually certain, several sources said the First Lady is hoping to hold off any acknowledgment of Mr. Yar’Adua’s incapacitation in the hope of lining up a friendly successor, including an effort to position Adamu Aliero, the minister of the federal capital territory and a close ally of the First Lady, as the new vice president once Mr. Jonathan steps up to the presidency as mandated by the constitution.

Other political forces, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, as well as a claque of powerful former military officers led by Ibrahim Babangida, the former military president, are also pushing various candidates to be Mr. Jonathan’s deputy (see accompanying story.)

However, many see Mr. Jonathan, a colourless former governor of tiny Bayelsa state and an accidental vice president, as a mere transitional figure who will hold power only until the next elections are held.

By that calculation, the ruling People’s Democratic Party will honor its internal rotational arrangements to keep a northerner in the presidency for an additional term of four years. This would put a new vice president in pole position to become the PDP presidential candidate and be a sure bet to be the next president. The calculation is that, in Nigeria, votes do not count and the incumbent party is practically guaranteed to use every means to maintain itself in power.

In orchestrating her increasingly frantic efforts, Turai Yar’Adua’ has proved an enthusiastic user of email as well as sms messages to friend and foe alike. She, with the gang wound tight around the president, has been working hard to sell the candidacy of Ailero to be Jonathan’s deputy.

A government in chaos

The cloak of secrecy thrown around the president’s status, and Turai Yar’Adua’s determined push for an ally to succeed her ailing husband, have thrown our government into chaos. “Nobody knows what’s going on,” confessed one senior government official.

The cabinet, or federal executive council, is paralysed because it is in the dark. On a recent interview with BBC, for example, Ojo Maduekwe, the foreign minister, said, incredibly, that he had had “no cause” to speak to the president for the past six weeks! Information minister Dora Akunyili has issued statement after statement even though she has not had any contact with the president.

Yet the cabinet, which should by law start the process of declaring the president medically incapacitated, is refusing to lift a finger.

The sense of confusion has also stopped senior officials from coordinating their official actions. For example, according to our sources, Ahmed Yayale, the secretary to the government, had no idea that Mr. Edevbie had travelled to Saudi Arabia to try to see the president-until after the fact.

Even the security services are not immune to the governmental disarray. The director general of the State Security Services (SSS), Afakriya Gadzama is said to be angry that Mr. Tilde, the president’s chief security officer, is no longer taking his calls.

As an employee of the SSS seconded to be at the president’s side, Mr. Tilde is supposed to keep his agency in the loop regarding the president’s safety.

That even the SSS chief is kept out of the loop is particularly jarring. Mr. Gadzama is after all widely considered a trusted aide of President Yar’Adua. The two go back as far as their high school days at Barewa College, where Mr. Yar’Adua, then a house prefect, appointed Mr. Gadzama to succeed him in 1971.

“If Turai doesn’t trust Gadzama,” said one source who is also a Barewa old boy, “that is how paranoid they have become.”

This royal mess has left Abuja in a state of paralysis. “The government has ground to a halt,” a senior official said last week. “Something will have to give very soon.”

I think you can only call SR liars on this one if it is proven that GEJ did not depart BOTSWANA in a hurry and before schedule. If you still insist that SR has lied on this one, let us know if GEJ is still in BOSTWANA.

Don't mourn her yet, its just a rumor. Or I guess that's ur prayer, that our first lady dies in d office. God forbid

Sun of god: So Dr Madam Patience is dead?

Na Wa Ohh . . . . she was an 'entertaining' first lady.

She'll be missed . . .

[b][/b][color=#990000][/color]

All of you happy that GEJ wife is dead may it follow you all. She is someones mother and you are wishing someones mother dead don't worry or cry if your own mother dies.

I wish this news is as fake as saharareporters and coming from saharareporters I know is a fat lie and rumor, GEJ might have left bostawan due to many other issues.

dont mind those stupid mentally retarded sr ppl,just becos he left abruptly that means his wife is dead,so there are no more important issues that can make him leave except his wife?fools
and yet they come here to insult our intelligence by quoting past events

I don't understand what benefit people derived from wishing bad things happened to other people.There are so many areas people require our Journalist to focus their attention on.So many thieving elites and drug Barons are walking the streets free and our Journalists are busy beaming their lights on the President and his Family.

Anyway, I am used to this sort of dishonesty from Nigerians. Your nation has bastardized you to be that way even if you fail to see. Saharareporters never said the first Lady is dead. Instead you are determined to speak as if they did. Some of you need to grow up and stop acting like emotional children. Nigeria is bigger than the Presidency for god sake!!!

Let Mr.President simply do the right thing, be honest with Nigerians and take time off to be with his wife. We can't just be "allowing" his serious errors of judgement all the time and even ignoring those errors or making excuses for him !!! This is a serious lapse from GEJ and folks like you need to stop this childish effort to make issues about saharareporters !!!!!

In other nations, saharareporter would be highly appreciated because, despite their faults, they always provide very important truth others are willing to hide from the public. Let me give you another 'excerpt' from history since you are so keen to talk ignorantly. Did you know that Nigerian news papers met with the Presidency to swear an oath of silence over Yar Adua's serious health issues in the interest of "National security"? How wickedly irresponsible is that?

It was only saharareporters, NEXT234, pointblank and a few others who refused to go along with such a wicked conspiracy. Given what has transpired historically, saharareporters would be deemed heroes in most Countries of the world even if we then issue them with a proviso to be more accurate. Nigerian should just secure the trademark for Stockholm syndrome since our people suffer from it far more than others.

If dis story is true,den there is sometin fishy about aso rock-obj wife die 4 aso rock,yar adua wife head strong pass him o,so yar adua died instead of him wife,now uncle jona wife is_____

dayokanu:

Where they not the ones who said their "source" told them Patience Jonathan had ruptured appendix? Gradually, it's turning to out to be fibroid.
I wonder why people still take this online media newspapers seriously.

So, from 'she just went to rest' it has turned to be fibroid? Y won't we believe them when everytin in government is shrouded in secrecy? When American Presidents visit the hospital, d whole nation knows. We trashed dis argument during Yaradua's time and yet here it is again. Wud it not hv been better for them to tell us what really is happening to our Ma so we can pray for her health instead of lying and later admitting portions of widespread truth?

Believe in sahara reporters to ur own peril.they spread more n more lies n fictions dan truth.rubbish

Sun of god: So Dr Madam Patience is dead?

Na Wa Ohh . . . . she was an 'entertaining' first lady.

She'll be missed . . .

Look @ dis idiot...good u admitted she'll b missed meaning she's important but ur mum will not be known sef(she's nt vital to us)...lol

dedeike:

El Rufai, you shamelessly lied that Sahara SHOPRITE of lies broke the news of Yar Adua's death. It is not true.
I recall vividly that Sahara SHOPRITE of lies was at the vanguard of broadcasting fake deaths about Yar ADUA. None was true.
The day Yaradua eventually died, the news was broken simultaneously by all media stations.. It was not a subject of rumour like your SHOPRITE of lies was peddling for months before that day.
BUNCH OF LIARS

Sahara Reporters broke the news of 'Patient' Jonathans ill health.

taharqa: I honestly think all these 'sources'(if they really exist) purportedly giving info to all manner of ppl behind d backdoor , should be sorted out and charged with High Treason. I mean, am 4 openness in govt and all dat but if d state house is actually 'leaking' dis way, it portends grave danger to national security cos who knows what these 'sources' are telling(or capable of telling) foreign interest....#veryTroubling

Like someone already said, maybe you are living in the 16th century or you think you are still under a dictatorship. In Great Britain, leaks are the order of the day. As long as it isnt information that can be harmful to the country, then ogala. Something you hear a lot in the news over here is 'Whitehall sources'

my man the post of a president is very important ,do u think it is everything that the us govt tells the ppl?pls dont believe that.in yar adua case the day he officially died was the day gej was sworn in.taking into consideration the peculiar nature of nigerian politics and society everyone understood what went on.
so dont think the govt will be coming to the press and giving every security detail.and considering again the security issue in nigeria with fifth columist and bh nd mounting opposition they cant be giving out sensitive informations anyhow.NO COUNTRY GOVT GIVES OUT INFORMATION ANYHOW ,most of the info recieved are from inside source but never official statements.that was why i said lets wait for an official statement.

You really are a stupid and vacuously obstinate illiterate. I never peddled or supported talk that the first Lady is dead. Show that here or admit you are no better than an illiterate rabble-rouser. I am only showing childish reprobates like you that the Presidency irresponsibly left room for this to happen.

In all likelihood, the first Lady is recovering. Indeed all Nigerians should pray for this. Nonetheless, we must show a maturity and sophistication to look at processes honestly so that we don't operate in a comfort zone where the same mistakes are made time and time again to the detriment of Nigeria. This should not be happening again and certainly not from GEJ given what he endured in the past and what he knew others put Nigeria through because of dishonesty and a disdain for transparency.

It is only a madman that does thing the same way and hopes for a different outcome. If the health saga of the first lady had been managed transparently, then we would not be having this talk. One would have thought GEJ would know better than most that it is wrong to embrace dishonesty and disdain for those you lead.

Balanced citizens then face the question of why GEJ can never do thing differently to show he is a leader capable of birthing change and delivering progress. What should worry Nigerians, lost on feudalistic olodos like you, is that this was a chance for GEJ to prove he can learns important lessons from history to do things differently to power-hungry and deeply callous opportunists like Turai, Aondoakaa, Aliero, Abba Ruma et al. Instead he blew it and actedly as disdainful as they did.
