Although a man of vision is gone, Allah know why he was created about 58 years ago and why he has to be taken away from us. who will ask? Allah said in the Holy book that if remove all what i have created is going to remain only thee. we came we shall surely go. Let us try to be good at all times, because anybody can dieat anytime. What people say about you after matter most in live living creature. rest peace.

It has come to an end the undercover job of Turai and her cronies has ended. Their power play could not stop the cold hands of death from snatching Yar'Adua. Those who are looting the nation's treasury should remember they would die one day.

R.I.P. Yar'Adua.
