I didn’t hear of his demise early, I just checked my facebook page and one of my friends posted “Breakin news…….RIP Yar’adua” and my first reaction was to reply the post saying “stop am if na play o”. This is because I twitted: “…God give us back Dagrin, we would gladly give u Umaru, OBj, IBB, + Ibori as bonus .
As I confirmed the news of his demise, wondered if I contributed to the death of the Late Umaru Yar’adua. Thinking back, I wished I didn’t include his name, the man was widely believed to be a gentle soul, whose misadventure in presidential politics cost him his life.
My heart goes out to his mother, who has buried 2 of her children in her life time; the late president and his elder brother late Shehu Musa Yar'adua.
But I don’t pity his wife and his children who could have done something about his situation and didn’t, some people say that there was not thing the children could have done, well I would have gotten myself disown at least.
I think the man should have not left Saudi Arabia, who knows, he might just be well and alive resting in Katsina as the first of Nigerian president who resigned his position for his health. That would have been a first in the history books and he would have the respect of the nation and international community and still collect N1bn yearly.
Well, I think this is a lesson for everybody, especially women, if you hold on too much to your husband and chase all family and genuine friends away, you might just lose everything. Am sure Turai would have not imagined not being first lady for the second term talk less of not completing a first four year term.
Lest I forget, I would like to ask every Nigerian like me who didn’t pray for Yar’adua when they heard about his death and those who were more interested in the public holiday than the man’s death to cover their faces in shame. I would like to praise my mother who when I told her about his demise, said Allahu Akbar (meaning Glory be to God) and she prayed for his departed soul and Covenant University which had a mass for the last President. Bye Mr. Late President and hope you make heaven
