Did you u remember him?

The best president we never had

Tributes are paid only to the dead in Nigeria. When he was president Nigerians insulted him to the heavens. Yar'adua keep on resting in peace and dont mind politicians that wants to use your good name to be relevant.

The only true leader with integrity.
'I know the election that brought us to power was marred by irregularities, I urge you all to join us to build a more peaceful and prosperous Nigeria' ----Umaru Musa Yaradua.

Electoral reform followed immediately.

He wasn't corrupt, he was a true Muslim, he never lived like a rich man , he wasn't an ethnic or religious bigot. A man of peace and peace was brought to Niger Delta.


Not this clanish and unintelligent globe traveller we have in power now

Hmmm! Almost Every nigerians Love This Man Even Igbo Peoples Love Him Than Hausa Kulhuwallahu Meta Fun Ya'adua

The best president Nigeria ever had, and I'm glad he's from PDP extraction

Rest on true leader

Buhari will never

the sicko called buhari told yaradua to step down because he was sick.



buhari deservs all the insults he is getting . useless old hypocrite

Please ooo what is the update on Atiku election case ? Is like this man just wasted his followers time. He has packed like a trailer , not even a news telling us anything.

Ogaemmy:
Legend. RIP Yaradua. One president we never had to enjoy.

Meanwhile, here is a shocking Untold story you didn't know on the fuss and battle between Tonto Dike and her estranged husband Churchill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9770WwG9HME

Can someone imagine for me how Nigeria would be like if Yaradua held his 2 terms.

Bt the way, Why is churchill the one smiling here.

Both should be unhappy.

because he is simply a good person..

May his soul rest in perfect peace, amen. Though he was slow in governance, he meant well for Nigerians. His health complications didn't give him the chance to prove himself. He will be forever remembered as one of the good things to happen to that lofty seat, in spite of everything.

Joromi12:

he did a very good thing. Dangote would have had monopoly of oil industry.

Has you all remember him today Please remember all average Nigerians as well. Those people who are in need of Good Governance, Good Justice, High Standard of living..

Keep quiet if you have nothing reasonable to say.

TELL magazine and The News carried the results of the asset declaration exercise of the Governors in 2003 if i remember rightly.

Yar'adua was the "poorest" with 900 Million naira worth.

Bukola Saraki was richest with...can't remember the exact figures.

Where did a non-corrupt lecturer get 900 million? Business? What sort of business?.

the best president nigeria ever had

Yes I Agree With You Ma.
The Man Is So Kind And Caring
