Yar’Adua disgraced in London Over Niger Delta Situation. What is you Opinion?

Nigeria’s President Umaru Yar’Adua was disgraced four days ago in London, when he was chased away from the venue in which he was scheduled to hold talks with British officials.

Sources told P.M.News last night that a coalition of over 30 self-determination and rights groups, under the aegis of Liberty Forum, forced Yar’Adua to relocate from The Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, 10, St. James Square, to a rundown building at 8, John Adams Street, London WC2.

The Nigerian protesters who are based in the United Kingdom said they disrupted Yar’Adua’s meeting with the British officials to prevent him from deceiving the Britons about the true situation in the Niger Delta.

Prior to this development, The Movement for the emancipation of the Niger Delta have threatened that if The president should go ahead  to allow Britain to intervene by granting military aid to Nigeria to help tackle the intractable Niger delta problem, the UK citizens and interest in the country will suffer the consequences.

“We are here to prevent President Yar’ Adua from deceiving the British people on the real situation in the Niger Delta. We are here to ensure that Britain does not send her citizens to fight the people of the Niger Delta. We are here to tell the whole world that Nigeria is a country led by uncaring political leaders at the centre, which does not care about the respect for human rights and the basic tenets of democracy,’ Kayode Ogundamisi, who led hundreds of protesters, told the British media, many of who had come to cover the event.

various groups Including the Nigerian Liberty Forum , Women In Africa , Journalists for Democratic Rights, Odua Republic Front, ORF, Irapada Omo Odua, and sympathetic environmental rights groups, gathered at the Chatham House from 4 p.m., when it was 4.30 p.m. it was then obvious the organisers had a sinister move.

Tight ryhme there.
Politicians will always be politicians. " Can a leopard change it's skin?

Thanks for you contributions. This Niger Delta crisis is eating the nigerian oil industry, which is the main stay of our economy, as expatriates have started leaving the country en masse. I think Yar'Adua should pay this problem the right attention it deserves and stop paying lips service to nigerians.

The a-holes only have one thing in their heads "embezzlement" They visits  London regularly with their entourage or boy-boy who call themselves PA. Instead of obtaining ideas from their host, they will check themselves in posh hotels (with uninterrupted electricity) and their PA (boy-boy) will get them some low class street girls for the duration of their stay in exchange for £20,000 - £40,000 for their services. Do I have respect for these so called politician? I do not, I see them as small time thieves who cannot tell the difference between blue and violet. They come here to enjoy the amenities and infrastructures of the UNITED KINGDOM or elsewhere in the west. The comfort they get on behalf of their host was made possible by the simple act of good governance and a regulated banking system. At the end of the day they go back to Nigeria and treat their fellow Nigerians with scorn. Each time their siblings comes down with malaria they will check them in the next available flight, destination = London for treatment in hospitals made possible by real leaders. For selfish reasons, they will never opt to build or maintain existing hospitals. The education in Nigeria is not good enough for their children so they send their children to the UK to study 'but God no dey sleep' the children no day go school na so so night club and men them day follow walker dem don turn ashawo. We way dey here for London go organise ourselves day wait them for airport na so we go embarrass the ones way dey come take treatment and study for here na koboko we go take flog them.....OLOSHI OLODO politicians e no go better for una our country be like Sudan.  The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones. God bless Nigeria
