according to Islamic laws any one that died is to be buried within 6-8 hrs. why in Yur Adua`s case Is proving difficult even to announce to the public that his dead since 10/12/2009? Allah will punish the wife for deceiving all Nigerian about Mr. president death. let it be known that his dead but not buried.

I think that the greatest thing we can do for our president now is praying for his survival. Yes he might have offended Nigerians by not following the lay down rules and regulations. Let us show him love and kindness and stop praying for his death. Remember it could be YOU one day in that position. You can be a leader in anywhere. Let us allow the spirit of Forgiveness to reign. The Bible says that we should not abuse or insult those in autyhorithy for it is God that placed them there. Remeber that you have no right to judge because the measure you give out shall also come back to you. President Yaradua is still our brother lets give him our support and prayers. It is not his position that matters now but his life. Long live Nigerias

My own thoughts about this matter is of good intention but what we are saying is that mr president should hand over all the necessary documents to goodluck jonathan as the president of the nation pending the time they will conduct another general election.And i pray to Almighty Allah to grant our president quick recovery.And i want to implore all Nigerian citizen to contribute there own quota about this matter.

I pray for the president to get better soon but the most important question he should be asking himself now is that where is he going to spend the lest of his life. A nigeria king as the president or God should accept his soul. What shall it profit a man here on earth if he gain the whole world as the king of all president and lost his life.

What i have to say on the condition of yaradua is he should hand over the necessary requirement to Goodluck jonathan to become the president of the nation this should be done urgently
February 16, 2010
My thought for the yaradua is of good intention but what saying that goodluck jonathan should become the president of nigeria automaticaly with imidiet effect because he is capebale lead nigeria nto rule

Hellow my fellow nigerians wheather yaradua is dead or alive,he is not capable to rule nigeria.Goodluck should resume duties as president.Nigerians are waiting for u,he is the man of the people.
