Nigerian President, His Excellency Umaru Yaradua
is dead according to authoritative sources at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre.
He died on the 10th of December at 3.30pm at an Intensive Care Unit at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Jeddah Saudi-Arabia. Sources at the Hospital say that the First lady wants to keep the news secret for the next few days for personal reasons.
At the time of his death he was surrounded by his wife, Turai and a childhood friend, Nigerian Member of Parliament,
The president left Nigeria fifty days ago after complaining of Chest pains. Sources at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Jeddah say that the president suffered among many other things, kidney failure, stroke and massive brain damage.
The President has been bedridden ever since. Nigerian officials had previously lied to the country that the president’s health was getting better while his situation got worse. The president was conspicuously silent regarding the Christmas day bombing in which a 23-year-old Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to detonate a bomb on an aircraft that carried nearly 300 people.
Well, Thank you CNN, they have been hiding the death of our president from the citizen of Nigeria, and we will be much happy if you can help us to make it clear and put it more on air, on both radio, internet, and some nigeria newspaper…so that they can proceed the in new administration and also to allocate the money to the state government for the smooth running of other activities in Nigeria in their different state respectively.
1Whether they conceal the truth or not,one thing is certain they cant fool the whole Nigerian populace.What is being hidden would definitely come to light.Its better Nigerians know their fate on time,delay defeats!The way forward is here!
2The first lady and other members of the parliament, deciving about m150 nigerian. should not go unpunished

4Thank you CNN for this highligt on our prisident”s death. The general public is left in confusion and knew not what to do. l plead that if the international community have Nigeria at heart, please let this news be made knows to every nigerian, via the electronic media and others means of news decimination. The secret may be for political, financial, and individual selfish interest which have kept Nigeria backward for generations past. But if this news is as true as expected, then it is a great lost to Nigeria as a nation.
5If Nigeria survived during the death of Abacha, who died on active service, we will still survive if our present president is death. thus fellow Nigerians chearup, out of over 150,000,000 million Nigerians we can still have another president.
6A man had a dream in a far Atlantic Country and worked towards it and we saw a BLACK leading Americans now.
IF ONLY WE CAN HAVE A MARTIN LUTHER KING (JR) OR MEN WITH DREAMS, NIGERIA! WE CAN BE GREATER THAN AMERICA.
BEFORE AND AFTER HIS DREAM ONE OR TWO OF THEIR PRESIDENT FELT ILL OR EVEN DIED IN OFFICE.YET THE DREAM WAS BORN AND WE ADMIRE IT. NIGERIANS OUR PROBLEM IS NOT A SICK PRESIDENT BUT “EMPTY DREAMS” AND lip service
7i strongly beleive the news of mr presidents dead. its unfortunate that he is gone now when the Nation need his service most and a reminder to us that dead is inevitable, we all will answer that call someday hence we make peace with God, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Giver of life. we love Yaradua for his contribution to the advancement of democracy in our dear country especially for upholding the principle of the Rule of Law. We respect him for his non interferance in judicial processes, the peace in the Niger Delta and for showing examplary leadership quality of humility, honesty, hard work and dedication to duty. I wish him an enternal and peaceful rest in the bosom of our creator Jehovah God till we meet again to depart no more. We love you and will miss you. Esitima F. Etuk
8Fellow Nigerians, we should try to learn some lessons here. Abacha was autocratic till he died in power. Yar’Adua was not but sick. Maybe he would have lived longer if not in power. He should have resigned to be in health.
9Thanks very much for revealing the death of our president.pls could people make it more open,meaning give us more details
10I don’t understand why some people comment without actually reading the blog, you have to know what it is actually talking about before commenting. And yeah I hate when people post a comment just to say they are the first comment…who cares?
