God bless you President Ya'ardua

A President indeed. Open, transparent and progressive.

GOD Bless Late Umar Musa Yar'adua and GOD Bless Nigeria

This man and his articulate presentation of issues is gold. He is a total departure from Buhari, who is less articulate and lacks confidence with American Presidents. This man can go down in Nigeria's history as the best President of Nigeria. His tenure was brief due to Ill health but very impactful to the average Nigerian. May His soul Rest in peace

This perhaps is the most eloquent and articulate president i have ever heard speak without having to hold a sheet to read. I really miss him and hope future Nigerian leaders will emulate his person.

He was an educated man and a lecturer before coming into govt, what do you expect?

I'm here in 2022 watching our dear and gracious former president, late Musa Yar'adua.may his soul continue to rest in peace 🙏😢😥

Oh God. Why did you take him away from us too early. This guy was good, honest , extremely intelligent and purposeful. He oozed class sitting right next to POTUS. Why do good things not last long? Rest in peace President Yar'adua. May your dreams for this country come to fulfilment one day.

I think Yar Adua spoke very well. There were no dranatical flaws in his grammer.You can tell he is a teacher. He spoke with apt confidence, this is in comparison to Obasanjo. I did not observe any diplomatic flaws. He was being gracious to his host, when he said he was honored to be in the white house.

Allah yajikansa da rahhama

long live nigeria long live the president yar'adua i wish u success in ur tenure, hoping the country will make best use of its friendship wz the usa, and all other countries

President and Commander IN Chief of The Armed Forces. good Nigerians love you. Yar'Adua 2011 by the grace of God

May his gentle soul rest in peace.. Adieu

One certainty that can be predicted by anyone is the certainty of change.

what is the nigerian factors for you guys.

Yar' adua did say he would partner with Africom in order to set up brigade size African forces to be stationed in each of the regional grouping in Africa.He really never gave a blank check to Africom as he have been accused of doing in Nigeria.

Bomboy134, I am skeptical about Africom not because of what America and Bin laden are doing.But it's aim of establishment simply runs counter to fundamental African interests.While Africa struggles to build a united, prosperous,less militarised continent where people and goods are free to travel within,Africom in the name of security wants less movements and increasingly lethal weapons being deployed to Africa.

Rest in peace yaradua

It's well

@Chriskayne: he spoke very well. The accent is derived from the environment he grew up in. Yar Adua was articulate. His grammar was succinct. I hope Jonathan will borrow a leaf. I mean in spoken English and not administration. He could not perform because of his health.

Bush at his intellectual best!

i agree.

jokes... the boss (puppet master) pulls the strings and the dummy responds... shit world

igbo dan iska ne bazai presdent ba ko ka gane?

i agree wz u , i'm shockd that many africans accuse leaders and other citizens from tribal point of view this is shameful in it will always be shameful unless it stops lets die 4 our countrie love it more than anything else please let's make africa and nigeria great

The problem is that most African leaders are never been truthful to themselves and the people they serve. The followers themselves are too confrontational as a result of insincerity frustration experienced from the bad leaders .

O my God

bush kept imposing its in our INTEREST lol

"President Umaru Yar'Adua on Tuesday in Abuja admitted that the nation's electoral process was lacking in credibility and that elections fell short of International standards, stating that the April elections were massively rigged." -- Nigerian Tribune Newspapers. Wednesday August 29, 2007.

"...... a journal by the American State Department,.... stated that (Olusegun) Obasanjo masterminded the failure of the (April 2007) elections(that installed Yar Adua). The stinging publication exposes both Obasanjo and (Abubakir) Atiku as the architects of election rigging in Nigeria since 1999 when they came to power." ...."the scathing article is written by Jean Herskovits,(a former) officer of the CIA in charge of African Affairs..." ----- Daily Independent. Sunday August 5, 2007.

"Few expected the elections to live up to International Standards. But in the wake of elections in 1999 and 2003 that were openly rigged in favour of (Nigerian) president Olusegun Obasanjo and his party, it was hoped that April (2007 elections that ushered in Umaru Yar'Adua as president)polls would at least mark a step forward. Instead, the elections marked a long stride backwards." ---- Chris Lackey of Human Rights Watch reporting on Nigeria's 2007 elections adjudged as the worst in the world.

Addressing a world press conference in Abuja yesterday, the EU delegation said that the elections (that installed Umaru Yar'Adua as Nigeria's president) "were marred by poor organization, lack of essential transparency, wide spread procedural irregularities, significant evidence of fraud, particularly during the result collation process, lack of equal conditions for contestants and numerous incidents of violence." ---- Guardian Newspapers.

Orobodo, when you grow up you will understand grown-ups conversations.

There's Yar'adua sounding all meek and mild but he had planned to kill the most successful Anti Corruption Chief in Nigerian history - Nuhu Ribadu. Umaru Yar'adua is slow-poison.

How about now? How are you liking him now?

Score the two presidents and am sure my guess is as yours. I believe some persons are responsible to guide and train the president on diplomacy and public relations. These persons to me have failed. They are more concerned about traveling allowances and the "inexplicable" joy of visiting the White House to the detriment of national duty!!

I wonder why we have unintelligent, morally bereft people representing us as leaders, Nigeria's state of affairs makes me sick. Its bad when you are down, but when you have no plans on getting up thats when its a disaster, thats the state of Nigeria.

PDP has always been about neoliberalism and economic liberalism, they should never be allowed back in Aso Rock

Bush is like, WTF, I don't give a shit about Nigeria and its people; I am only interested in protecting our interest - crude oil! It is time our leaders stop being grateful for help and assistance. Africans are the only people that can solve whatever problems confronting them. Our interest should be to have an economic power base in Africa!

@Titoscudd As a matter of fact we've shut down oil production to the US. Dose the oil spike in 2008 bring memories which is the foundation of your debts to the chinese. i'm sure you rembered paying $147 per barrel in 2008 due to our problems which is the purpose of these meeting. if you keep talking shit they'll do it again...lol at that

Respond to this video... africa willbe built slowly & on cleaner energy

What a FARCE!

Habib4god, Talk to Hausa-fulani of diplomatic approach and peaceful resolution. They are the ones that have rejected democracy, human rights, social justice, sovereign national conference. They are a big problem to Africa and the blackman and the retrogressive and destructive ideologies they so readily clive to must be resisted. They would have been a better people if not for Islamic influence, and its grip on them cannot allow rationalization.

Hausa/Fulani leaders sofar have been a sort of unbearable embarrasment! RIP!

shame to u too.

you right, i think africom shouldnt b welcomed!!! look at what happened with the Bin laden`s family, what happened with Saddam. Aerica will always go first then later turn thier back on you.

Mallam

nah so so talk talk, no action, zero electricitiy, worst roads ever in Nigeria, hospital & equipment nothing to write home about, corruption 1000% increase, cell phone rates $1/min (the cell phone companies have bought the parlimentarians so there is no control over pricing, one credit though - Nigerias debt paid off; Infrastructure, i see none..... Nigeria = failure...

Yar'adua is not compitent to be a president...... it is shameful to have elected him as president of Nigeria, cause he can never handle the affairs of our great Nation...... Long live Nigeria, my God help US!

Orobodo, if things can't work out with Biafrans, you ought to be an advocate for their self-determination to help Nigeria's state. See, its the unjustified hatred of the Biafrans that is sending Nigeria to hell and the world knows that. You hate them, so advocate for their complete separation from Nigeria.

U need help...
