Yar'Adua is brain-dead, and one doesn't have to be a genius to know what becomes of someone who is BRAIN DEAD... This guy has died and has been buried since last Christmas. Turai is a very good melodramatist. Guys, stop deceiving yourselves and wallowing in ignorance.

Why laughable? BBC World Service is the official radio service for Britain. Which is Nigeria's? FRCN (Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria)and VON (Voice of Nigeria). Now the president (or his cronies) wants to offer a backhanded proof of life and all they can come up with is BBC.Why not FRCN or VON? They could even cook up a techno sideline by sending mass SMS purportedly from the president to all GSM users in Nigeria. This sure will generate a lot of interest and discuss and will cast the president as a man who respects his citizens and those who voted(?)him into office. The failed terrorist plot? No comment from him too. If you ask me, I'd say he is either dead or seriously incapacitated BBC or not. Period!

I do think it is clear from the fact that Yardy spoke first with the BBC that he has not become too brain-damaged to conduct affairs of state. However, this choice also makes it clear that he has no concept of electoral democracy and negotiation. He regards himself as a hereditary ruler who must maintain power through deference and diplomacy with the Western superpowers. He knows that he is unpopular and would not be considered legitimate were Nigeria to become a true democracy. So many questions!
