In the past, we used to lament that Nigeria never had a president with a university degree. For the first time, we are having one; (please do not include Sonekan). Judging from the performance of Yar'Adua so far, I am not convinced he deserves the degrees he claims to hold. I expect a university graduate to possess the ability to analytically describe a problem and find solution to the problem; and based on his experience to be in a position to predict what other problems could arise in the future. This requires that the person must have the ability to use hard facts to reason logically in order to confront problems. Yar'Adua rather than facing realities, is living in fantasy land. He reasons like an ostrich with his head fully buried in sand.

Yar'Adua claimed he was sad because the world did not invite him to the party in London. UMYA just exposed his ignorance. Nigerians are sad alright, not because UMYA was not in London. We are sad because we have no electricity, no good roads, no security, no employment and because our children have no future. Above all, we are sad because we cannot choose our own representatives and leaders.

Yar'Adua and his party are visionless and Nigerians should not expect much from them. I agree with Abidde that we have to search for extra-legal means to get rid of especially the PDP which has truly captured Nigeria and Nigerians.
