Nothing really changes the leadership of Nigeria except doubtful election and military coup. This is not to say that such military intervention changes anything in the country. It is nothing other than opportunism in a bid to maintain the status quo or loot the treasury. Acting leadership is leadership as it implies handover of duties to the deputy by the incumbent. Constitutional leadership change in Nigeria is a day dream for those expecting such to happen in the Yar’Adua impasse.
Nigerian army watches as the nation’s corrupt and feudal power brokers scheme and plot. The military and civil game boards are in harmony of purpose, at times in joint conspiracy, other times divergently embracing maintenance of the status quo and/or treasury loot. The bitter truth in Nigeria is that political incumbents never hand over to their deputies. This is the case on both state and federal government levels. ( Continues below….. )

Nigeria being the country we know today, nobody should expect Yar’Adua to hand over to his deputy, Goodluck Jonathan. Yar’Adua is expected to hang on as president until 2011 elections. In the event of Yar’Adua’s untimely death before then, Nigeria would be in turmoil as forces deploy to maintain the status quo through unconstitutional means. Such means may include: stringent hand-tying agreement with Jonathan or outrightly a military coup.
An authoritative source in the Nigerian Presidency speaking on Thursday to reporters, said Yar’Adua was expected to be discharged from the hospital very soon and would return to Nigeria to resume duties.
“There is no vacancy in Aso Rock", they always say and this time will not be different. Nigerians should always refer to the country’s history when in doubt of the turn of events in the country. Some elements in the army and feudal power brokers ‘are watching’, unless they are successfully checked, Nigeria will never see progress.
This article is not an invitation to the Nigerian army to intervene. Military coups are unconstitutional and must be rejected by Nigerians.
Chief Judge of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, Justice Daniel Abutu on Wednesday ruled that vice-president Goodluck Jonathan “cannot become the acting president but only carry out the functions of the president in his absence.” The ruling in the case filed by Christopher Onwuekwe, a lawyer by profession, allowed Jonathan to take full executive powers pending Yar’Adua’s return, denying him status as acting president on the premise that Yar’Adua had not written the National Assembly on his absence.
Justice Abutu was forced to step down from hearing a similar suit filed by Attorney Femi Falana. Falana petitioned the federal court on Thursday to declare Goodluck Jonathan acting president until Yar’Adua returned to the country from treatment. Falana’s lawsuit was filed in December last year, against Onwuekwe’s filed six days before its ruling. Both cases sought determination of the propriety of Yar’Adua’s refusal to transfer power to his deputy before his medical trip.
Falana requested the stepping down of Abutu, arguing that his impaired ruling on Wednesday on a similar suit to his, delved into issues raised in his own case. He argued that such a situation meant the judge had already taken position which would affect his ruling, if he were to go ahead with his case.

remember that the supreme being is watching all our activities better for us to turn a positive attitude toward
ourselves and let go the 'me, me and me only' syndrome. We are people like the Haitians suffering from God's
actions presently ours maybe worse if we don't change. I'll like to strongly inform the Nigerian elites and the
politicians alike to becareful and learn from our fellow Ganian counterpart, they have displayed high level
as humanbeing and show love to themselves. We should better learn and do the right thing now or else the
consequences maybe gravious.
God will surely have a way for us.
,is only the living that can rule.some said dying as a president is better,but one
thing is that death is death either as a president or poor man.once some body
died,he/she will be given a tittle called LATE.i know you mean well for this country.but on your absent
things are going wrong.please save our Nation.thank
bly are doing is abject display of insesitivity to national issue and selfish intrest at the expence of the nation.
our rulers have displayed that they are ruling without a consience and without their own minds. Even if it is their
ow immediate family that is concerned, they can not stand to defend it. GOD WILL DELIVER THE NATION ONE DAY
It is unthinkable that a section of the country will loose sleep perpetually for the simple fact that someone from another section of the same country would takeover power even momentarily in the absence of the incumbent notwithstanding that the constitution is explicit enough about this. So what will happen in the case of a president dying without notice e.g. from heart attack? Ignore the constitution? Lawyer activists head to court? Parochial judges giving verdicts contrary to the constitution? PDP BOT or whatever it's called holding a meeting for a solution outside the constitution? On what basis should Nigeria be called a country? Anarchy is sure to visit Nigeria, the magnitude who can tell?
Babagida, Obasanjo, Yaradua for their contributions in looting the peoples' wealth. For
Nigerian presidents to leave home for treatment in other countries that may not even be
as wealthy as Nigeria is a "CURSE" from the devine.
What is a wealth stolen from the people? It's a terrible burden that's a curse, not a blessing.
No doubt, with their unethical behavior, the Nigerian so called rulers have not only brought shame to the black race, also have validated the claims that black race can't govern themselves with integrity. Eventually all these people will become very good portions for
vultures and flies.

Wishing him “Quick Recovery”.
But NIGERIA we should be reality in all we do. “When my Senior brother is not in the house more than one day. I the younger one take care of our house”. Nothing is wrong if V. the President will occupy till his master is back. Sickens is for everybody as far you are living.
Wishing Super Eagle VICTORY over their matches.
Success Unique

The Vice President is Loyal to the President and I commend him and respect him.Dont tarnish his reputation and dont destroy the southerner that is loyal to his boss.
God is in control. I wish the President quick recovery and safe return to Nigeria
Odes in here is a country where foolish peole are living, Nigeria has turned into odesinia, criminals control the government and the people, only an earthquake may wake them up

IF YAR ADUA WAS TO BE A SOUTHNER THIS THING WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIES OF MEETINGS OF ALL THE NORTHERN GOVERNORS AND EMIRS TALKING ABOUT THE NORTHERN INTEREST. WHAT DO THEY THINK THEY ARE. THEY WILL SOON FIND OUT WHEN THE CHICKEN COME HOME TO ROOSE.
which many doubt. The man is "full of bellonei". How could he still in Saudia Arabia while the same BBC reported
that a reliable officer in the same Saudi hospital stated that Yar'Adua left the hospital on December 2, 2009. Was
Yar'Adua discharged and re-admitted in the same hospital to have made a statement to the BBC on Jan, 12th
2010 ?
Asuming that Yar'Adua spoke to BBC as alleged, why could he not invest the power of temporary governance to the VP Jonathan in the same manner ? BBC and the Nigerian Senate, Nigerian House of Assembly and any Nigerian medium, which should by virtue of nationalism be close to Yar'Adua ? Nigeria and Britain, whom does Yar'Adua owe allegiance ? Why can't the Senate, House of Assembly and other politicians and in particular the
Nigerian Judiciary show greater allegiance to the Constitution than the President ? The Office of the Presidency
is a temporary post compared with the Constitution, why is there no respect in protecting the Constitution than
in protecting the president as demonstrated by AGF Aondoakaa ? Is our system badly taintaited all round ?
For the purpose of the lingering argument and based on the verdict of Justice Dan Abutu, does the VP Jonathan
equal and in the same footing with every other cabinet minister ? Can VP Jonathan legally able to re-assign,
discipline, dismiss or appoint any cabinet minister in comparisn with the power equilateral with the President ?
Based on the verdict of Justice Dan Abutu, is it fair to say that while Jonathan acts as the president, that the
office of the vice president is vacant or alternatively, while acting as the Vice President, that the office of the
President is still vacant as long as Yar'Adua is not sitting in Nigeria ? Conversely, as quoted by the AGF that the
President can rule Nigeria from anywhere irrespective of duration . Was this idea accetable International mpre
so when "rulers" abdicate their throwns and implicitly in the case of Yar'Adua, without normal relinquishment of
governance, that Yar'Adua could even be dead and still govern from his grave ? Is Nigerian presidency a kind
of religious "cult" that people must worhship even when the appointed leader dies ? What does our Constitution
say about leadership aspirant of the Presidency and why are we deviating from it, fear of the truth, fear of a
person, fear of position attatched, or fear of changes that might arise ? When would it end and what is the acute
impact of the present impasse where International authorities could not communicate with us simply because
we have no leadership ?
Is Nigeria a bunch of "wacky" loose nuts and are confuseed and ought to be manipulated at ease or there are
a clique of lunatics like the Aso Rock Mafias faning political issues to a boiling point to stigmatize one tribal,
ethnic or religious groups and slaughter them with Militar and police power ? What is the motive of all the
steaming dangers ? Are we prone to violence, more killings, more blood guttering, more crises ?
no piece i pray for God intervation, before we see another barfrer war.
Nigeria politicans remember agbacha, when God change on you all, death will
visit everybody that using our oil money alone. Our children are all over
the country to look for job. while we are gaint of Africa, even poor gana are
deporting Nigerians. while are we runing out from our country, because of unorga
unorganized politicans thieves, hopeless people. for whatever Nigeria politians
sold that what will ripe. We can seperate b/c we are not one, igbo hawusa an
and oby people.
don't ever say nigeria will be at stake, because it's already at stake. Everyone is rushing
to be on the seat to embezzle and go away.
Pls let's put our hands together to organise and maintain our intergrity, forget about tribalism;
let's apply scientific method of operation where only one suited to do it be called.
PLEASE ARISE O LORD AND LET ALL YOUR ENEMIES BE SCATTERED. DO IT SO THAT ALL THESE GOOD FOR NOTHING POLITICIANS IN NIGERIAN CAN PERISH. DO IT GOD IF ONLY TO PROVE TO THEM THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY SUPREME BEING. YORUBA PEOPLE MUST REASON LIKE THE SMART IBOS AND QUEST FOR SEPARATION LIKE THE IBOS. THE FAILURE OF THE NIGERIA NATION STARTED RIGHT FROM THE AMALGAMATION OF THE COUNTRY. THIS CHAIN MUST BE BROKEN BEFORE THERE CAN BE ANY PROGRESS IN THIS LAND CALLED NIGERIA THAT IS RAVAGED BY CORRUPTION AND INVESTED BY VAMPIRE POLITIANS. SEPARATION, I KNOW WILL BRING INSTANT PROGRESS TO THE IBOS AND THE YORUBAS WHO ARE THE MOST CORRUPT IN NIGERIAN WILL HAVE TO GET RID OF A LOT OF THE OBASANJOS, ARISEKOLAS, AKINGBOLAS,BODE GEORGES,ETC.
"whiteman" to teach the likes of
Obasanjo, Babagida and Yar'Adua on how
to govern a country with integrity is the answer to the economic problems of
Nigeria, a nation saturated with skilled people. The idea may sound stupid to the shameless thieves known as leaders; These rogue leaders are stupid and not the idea. As for me,
well, I've turned in my Nigerian membership card long ago to join the
"African Josephs" that were sold to the
whiteman by the supid grandfathers of the present day stupid rogue rulers more than 300 years ago. I prefer freedom to stealing and living in perpetual fear of abduction and murder. For those sub-humans who participated in looting my beloved Nigeria, you've commited treason, a very serious offense punishable with DEATH.
Building roads and bridges with outside labor will only solve others economics problems.
have seen the presendential plane fly past their plane and would made a u
turn immediately, instead of going to embarass themselves at Saudi. Its a
shame
So they advised Yaradua to remained in power even if his condition is critical until next year when there will be another election.This is to make sure that they are still in control of everything.
Everybody is now aware that there is nothing like one Nigeria.All these Saga has really opened everybody's eye.
My warning is that the impending war will be hell.
The security is just to avoid people especially the press -men from seeing him,meaning that his condition is still very critical.
What exactly were they hiding??????????????????????????????????????????
The Northern cabal may not like some decisions so far taken by V.P so they decided to bring Yaradua back inorder to have room to be detecting to Goodluck?(V.P) on behalf of Mr president.
As far as i'm concerned Umaru Musa did not know where he is now let alone thinking of Nigeria.
No instruction should be taken by V.P to be from Mr president.
Finally,Yaradua's wife is very stupid.She did not love her husband.
Why will she allow all these cabals to be manipulating/denting his husbands name??
May be they have confused her with money.Who knows what was happening b/w her and those cabals since Mr president was away.Trust no women.
It is very clear that when the head is sick, the whole body suffers. Nigeria as a nation needed someone with
sound health to look into her affairs. We all know that Mr. President cannot perform with that his health condition.
He should be alowed to have a rest than to compound his health problems with leadership troubles.

BUT I MUST BLOW THE TRUMPET SO SO LOUD. NIGERIA MUST BE READY FOR SERIOUS BLOODSHED OR REMAIN THE WAY IT IS OR EVEN WORST. THIS POLITICIANS YOU SEE WILL CONTINUE TO DEGENERATE INTO MORE DANGEROUS MONSTERS, SO EXPECT NO MAGIC. REMEMBER THE CORRUPTION OF THE FIRST AND SECOND REPUBLIC WHICH THEY CLAIM LED TO MILITARY INTERVENTION NEVER GOT TO THIS EXTENT.
9JA GUYS, SHINE UNA AI WELLA. I GO HAPPEN TOO SOON THAN XPECTED.

They should wake up.
Our President was sent back because the Saudi nation want to spear them self from the current insult. hmmm!
Well come , mr president ur present special duity minister and past chief justice Mr A . Michael is on your side,you can Govern from the ambulance so that they do justice to Nigeria . God save Federal Republic of Nigeria from Federal Republic of Corruption

God Bless Nigeria.
Does anyone know if he still works for Alyeska pipeline or is he working for OSisoft? Any way, if anyone knows if he is available for consulting or project managment send me an email.
remember that the supreme being is watching all our activities better for us to turn a positive attitude toward
