but this woman is tough and heartless

otawa:

I am amazed at her Political sargacity. I doubt if it is her brain working.

She must have some loyal, hardcore politicians working for her.

So far they are doing everything according to script.

Only PDP by calling on NA to impeach Yaradua can bring master-stroke to the unfolding game.

But, I doubt they would go to impeachment route. Too dangerous for the future.

The best option is let Yaradua finish his term in less than 12months and he can gracefully go home or to his grave.

Aderupoko2:

Yar'adua, you should stop embarrassing this country. Power belongs to God. A living dog is better than a dead lion, Try and battle it out for survival for your dear life. Don't allow your power hungry wife to kill you. The looters are all surrounding you, hoping that the country is grounded to a halt.
PDP, will you ever allow us to live like citizens in our own country? Why must you continue to be linked to anything anti-people? Something tells me that that D in the middle of PDP stand for the DEVIL.
God is watching all of us. I know we cannot continue to live like this.

The reason these confusionists are still able to destabilise Nigeria is because Mr Goodluck Jonathan has so far acted cowardly by refusing to exercise the power vested in him when he was declared Acting President two weeks ago. He has behaved like someone who is in office but not in power. He should have acted more decisively by sacking those who are responsible for all these chaos and appointed people who are progressive in their thinking.

Now he finds himself surrounded by enemies of our Constitution, Democracy and Unity. Would we not be better placed to succeed as a nation if the FEC was now made up of people who are really interested in Rule of Law, Democracy and Unity.

Finally, I consider Mr Goodluck Jonathan a weak personality whose fear and anxieties might have cost Nigerians an opportunity to break free from political slavery.

However, we must not loose hope because if we persevere as a people that we want the politicians to do the right thing, then we can still defeat the political Carbals in Nigeria who are using Yar Adua's name to enslave the Nigerian people.

scorpio1:

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IS HAPPENING: The saudi King has evicted Yarádua from his country so that he does not die in his domain, cos if he does;he will have lots of queries to answer especially when Intelligence reports reaching him indicate that Nigerians are shouting that he is keeping our president as a hostage;, Definitely,Obama and other international bodies go don call am for phone unto wetin dey happen,
The wise King has ejected our Yara'dua so that he can come and die anyhow he wants on his country soil, That is what Turai wants{Remain President or die Tryin'}.

VERIFIED!!!

mohid:

still sick, and in the middle of the night?sounds more like a desperate move from the hawks losing their grip on Nigeria. i am certain this movie has a glorious ending the die is cast for all those that have held us down for too long, we go dance for them!!!

The only power he had as the ag. president was to mobilize the law makers (in quote) to start the impeachment process. That is his only err. He had no power what-so-ever. He was acting. He was NOT the president

Now he finds himself surrounded by enemies of our Constitution, Democracy and Unity. Would we not be better placed to succeed as a nation if the FEC was now made up of people who are really interested in Rule of Law, Democracy and Unity.

Why wont he be weak? He was practically alone in the politics except for the backing of Nigerians who are now comfortably seated in their homes with their families.

However, we must not loose hope because if we persevere as a people that we want the politicians to do the right thing, then we can still defeat the political Carbals in Nigeria who are using Yar Adua's name to enslave the Nigerian people.


Funny, it is not new in Nigeria for one person in the name of power to enslave the people, yet the people did nothing. I dont see any hope not to talk of losing one.

Fhemmmy:

What do u think he shd have done?
Or what would u have done, if you were him?

Dagbolu:

When he was declared Acting President he had a lot of momentum and good will on his side. Be mindful that there were people who put their personal safety and livelyhood at risk to agitate for him to be made Acting President. On being recognised as Acting President he was advised and encouraged to reshuffle the Cabinet and bring in people he can work with to help move the country forward. This advice and encouragement came from most quaters of the country. But, he dithered and dithered and allowed the cabals to regroup, plan and implement their plans. He stood still while these people did all the runnings. Now look at the outcome.

Politics is not for indecisive personalities or nice guys. Its a power game and one needs to outsmart opponents otherwise power cannot be gained.

Fhemmmy:

TO be honest with you, you have good and real points.
However, with the case in court and all that, it is not that easy for him to carry out a lot of things.
The only think i think he wasted time on was to get rid of some of the die hard fan of yaradua, he shd have sent them packing fast and change them all to people he can trust.
However as an Acting president, there is little he could do.
I bet, he never see this coming that They will repackage the ghost of yaradua into the nation like that, and that was why they never told him, so that, he will be caught unaware.

morpheus24:

Which shows his lack of leadership qualities. A good strategist would have anticipated this move and prepared for it after being advised.

Cant wait for the day when youths like you can stand up and declare your intentions to run for the office of the presidency. I would campaign for you.

[b][/b]US Dumps Yar'Adua

Signs that America has moved beyond the era of President Umaru Yar’Adua unfolded in Washington yesterday as its top African diplomat called for full international support for Acting President Jonathan Goodluck. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Affairs, Jonnie Carson told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on relations with Nigeria that while the administration hopes for a speedy recovery for President Yar’Adua, it was time to move on.

He said the administration supports the action of the lawmakers to resolve the country’s constitutional crisis by elevating the former Vice President. “Mr. Yar’Adua’s absence has generated political uncertainty and has challenged Nigeria’s young democratic institutions.

The National Assembly’s resolution that officially designated Vice President Goodluck Jonathan acting president demonstrated Nigeria’s resolve to find a peaceful solution to the country’s leadership vacum,” he said.
Mr. Carson who just returned from a trip to Abuja said Mr. Jonathan has done remarkably well in the saddle and assured that the administration would continue to provide assistance to the country.

He, however, warned that the future of the country remains in doubt until the government can hold free and fair elections.
“In my meetings with a broad range of political, religious and civil society across Nigeria, I discussed the important role that elections play in democracy. I stressed that Nigeria’s next presidential and national assembly elections scheduled for April 11, (2011), must be credible,” he stated. Carson said despite adding the country on the list of sponsors of terror, the administration remained committed to the progress of Nigeria as a critical ally in a host of international issues.

“We seek to enhance Nigeria’s role as a US partner on regional security but we also seek to bolster its ability to combat violent extremism within its own borders. He says Nigeria has a role to play in dismantling terror groups and that the government should do more to discourage such groups from operating in its territory.
“Nigeria is a partner in counter-terrorism efforts and it is in this context that Nigerians have expressed dissatisfaction with their inclusion in the Transportation and Security Administration’s countries of interest list,” he stated. The White House said the administration would only review Nigeria’s listing as a terror nation after the installation of airport screeners and an audit of the nation’s main airports in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.

Beaf:

I have posted the full article the above was extracted from twice and twice it has been deleted.
It is from a US senate hearing on Nigeria (I believe yesterday).
The US is bound to act very firmly if any id!ot thinks they can destabilise this country. They were able to make serious diplomatic inroads with Jonathan.

JUO:

has anybody seen this man i ask again?

Fhemmmy:

And again, i said, YES . . .on the CNN International section, a pix that he took last year with Jonathan in November

MsTom:
