President Jonathan In London Clinic Over Intestinal Problems; Babangida’s Leg Disease Worsens
An intestinal problem has forced President Jonathan to cancel a planned surprise visit to the Super Eagles in South Africa, medical sources in London said today.
The Nigeria president, who is on a whirlwind three-nation trip to Egypt, the United Kingdom and France, had planned to surprise the Super Eagles in South Africa following their qualification for the final of the African Cup of Nations last Wednesday.
However, in London Mr. Jonathan came down with an intestinal disorder referred to as Amoebic Colitis and he underwent testing at the London Clinic on Harley Street. The clinic is highly favoured by Nigeria’s rich and powerful.
A medical source told Saharareporters that Mr. Jonathan's situation is not worrisome but that the persistent nature of the condition meant the president had to undergo some screenings. It was not clear why he did not undertake the screenings in Abuja, where State House has an excellent clinic manned by a largely idle staff.
Meanwhile, former Nigerian dictator Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida was also sighted at the InterContinental Hotel in London limping on one leg. Mr. Babangida was helped into a vehicle by two aides on his way to a hospital in the city.
It was not clear if President Jonathan previously knew of Babangida's stay at the same hotel but the two met briefly as Babangida struggled to get to his car.
Mr. Jonathan is expected to arrive in France on Monday, according to his itinerary, but it is unclear if his health issue will force a change. Mr. Jonathan’s wife, Patience, last month returned to hospital in Germany following new health concerns.
The president has detailed the Senate President, David Mark, to cheer on the Super Eagles to victory in their final match against Burkina Faso tomorrow.
A presidency source said the President plans a massive reception for the Super Eagles in Abuja on Tuesday night.
Following decades of irresponsible management of the Nigerian economy, including failure to develop the health sector, Nigeria’s leaders and their families routinely hurry off to the developed world to squander valuable foreign exchange even on minor health procedures.
Two years ago, Babangida’s wife died in a hospital in California. Prior to that, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s wife died in a hospital in Spain.
IBB and GEJ
Leg and Abdominal problem? -na lie! IBB just dey limp to deceive una. IBB and Jona go meet for serious politics and business talk as dem know say Nigerians go dey watch football. Ha! ha!! ha!!!
---On a more serious note, How many schools sports events are currently being organized in Nigeria to tap new sports talents?
What percentage of Nigerians watch the football match using electric generators?
Did Jona visit Emir Ado Bayero in secret in London? If yes, why visiting in secret a top personality like the Emir and Of what use is the Archbishop of Canterbury's visit photo-leak to us as a people when our own Jona's visit may have been made in secret?
---Nigerian leaders must not be allowed to enjoy good health infrastructure in first world countries as they have enough to transform their country, but they wouldn't. Shameless leaders!
THIEF IBB, HIGH THIEF OBJ, THIEVES GEJ & MADAM UMBRALLA IN LDN?
These thieves are congregating in London at the same time , staying in the same hotel to plan as usual against 9ja. God will shorten their days on earth and that of their generation through uncureable diseases.....Amen.
What is the Minna thief looking in Harley street, London, England, an infidel country? Why not go to Saudi for his medical treatment? This OIC /Boko Haram Kingpin was swearing to fight ot keep 9ja one just because of his oil blocks in the SS.
They forget that God will always protect the weak. Nigerians are suffering and they the 1% are enjoying the stolen wealth of the people.
Satan shall continue to send uncureable diseases to attack them and their family members and reserve the hottest corner in Hell for them. If Gaddafi had succeeded, they will succeed.
Igbos are not known for mental ability but brawn
Congrats to Biafra then. This is just adding to your buying and selling ability.

Talking about merit, the top two Universities in this country are SW universities...with the best being established by the Great Awolowo himself...

Firstly, Mr Sowore is Apo Ijaw not Yoruba. Secondly, the SW states are in the top 6 exporting states of Nigeria

Thirdly, in terms of Oil (which nobody cultivates) if the onshore / offshore dichotomy is abolished, Lagos state will be the richest state

Congratulations to super Eagles...they won the cup defeating Ethiopia, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast! How Nigeria is fallen that it is now an major achievement beating those minor african footballing nations! However, one can only beat what team comes before you. So we were fortunate not to meet credible teams.

jonathan wins afcon 4 nigeria-go die if it pains u
The animals who called Jonathan (Mr bad-lucki)are back with their vomit-even dogs dont swallow their vomits but they do! President Jonathan has won the African Cup of Nations for Nigeria-13 solid years after the thieves who stole out tomorrow left power! If the Eagles had lost, the entire arena would have been filled with hate mails against Jonathan-but as a winner-the humans filled with the brain of a vulture, have all gone on Awol! The el rufais, buhari the executioner-sanus the treasurer of boko haram--and ribadu their gate keeper! Tambuwa their lead guitarist! Are all quiet! Jonathan has brought glory to his father-land-a breath of fresh air into our weak and confused lungs---while Buhari and his thugs in boko haram goes on dem killing spree in d fulani North-murdering innocent south koreans! with their fake drug-APC! GEJ wins the african cup of nation for us--goodluki ijaw man jonathan does it again with his oil!
What a coincidence! GEJ has
What a coincidence! GEJ has intestinal problem. IBB has leg problem. The two are in the same hotel in the same city where OBJ is launching a foundation in his name.Go ahead and do a meeting of three musketeers,but Nigeria must not be sold in London.
All hail the super 'Biafra' eagles, Shame to louds mouths and SR
Biased Sowore and his SR hasn't reported the victory of Keshi's SE/SS boys. Sowore didn't report it on his website not because they forgot nor out of omission. This was done out of hatred. SR would have long reported such news if cowardly Yorubas were among the players in the newly reformed Super 'Biafra/SS' eagles squad. True journalism is dead on SR.
I stated it clearly that Keshi's team will take the AFCON back to naija. The team selection was nothing short of brilliance. Atleast Hausa-fulanis and Yorubas can have something to smile for after all. Not minding the pogrom committed against Ndigbo we still went ahead to deliver the AFCON just like we did in '94. Shame.
SR, GEJ has an absolute right to go to whichever hospital he deems necessary globally. If barren north and unproductive west can spend money why NOT GEJ. An SS citizen. Idiots!
Dem neva see anything!
GEJ, dis is just d begining of many ailment in your life, u think god is not watching wat u guys are doing? Well, my prayer for u and ur kind is, may Almighty God keep on exposing ur asses and punishing u people with most terrible ailment dat u cannot withstand cos u ve cause so many Nigerians pains,etc. GOD DEY!!
@ Deri
Deri, do you know what 1 Igbo man said to me when Jonathan became the President of Nigeria? This is what the Ibgo man said, "Hhm Nigeria is finished! An Ijaw man President? An Ijaw man has a heart of a stone!" Meaning cruel! All the same, its only the devil's wispers that make humans happy over anothers misfortunes, sickness and even death! Even you can have the worst of ailment... & can do not-a-thing about it. These socall leaders run out of Nigeria once they or their families get even dizzy. People die in hospital just for peanut medical bills they cannot aford. Get your head out of pig shit Deri!
Food for Thought for GEJ! Amoebic Colitis (Entamoeba)...
This condition i learnt is caused by a genus of widely distributed amoebae of which some species are parasites of human digestive tract, which invade and destroy the intetinal walls. If severe it could lead to surgery. GEJ have not been doing medical check up? How did amoeba get into your intestine!!! This is a reminder that there people with worse ailments that can not afford even the cheapest primary health care.
Nigeria will never prosper
Nigeria will never prosper unless its divided; then u'll see the beauty of biafra.
IBB N GEN
Habah! You are a human being like them, if you can't pray for their quick recovery,please stop wishing a fellow man like you DIED. Remember you are not also in exceptional for any kind of troubles from LORD OF UNIVERSE.
ibb n gen
abba! u should remember that u r a human being like them, u should not wish even ur enemies bad luck,them wishing them died. u r also not exceptional to their situation ABOKI MAN.
@DERI Comments
I feel Deri must be unemployed, so spend all his time reading and reacting to every rubbish posted here by Sahara reporters as well as comments from believers of the white-elephant-failed project called Nigeria! But some of his comments or reactions are nothing but truth. Nigeria as a country is out-dated and will never work. All those preaching for one Nigeria are those that gaining (wealth seekers) or had milked this fail state! The other group is those waiting & hoping the milking of this naturally blessed part of Africa will soon be their turn. All others who believe really that this elephant called Nigeria will fly...are just dreamers!
Stupid talk
so are you united now?
Your cocoa money?
@ Omoesther Adegoke. Money from your cocoa or groundnut? Nice to hear.
What difference will where GEJ is do to Nigeria.
GEJ can be anywhere and rule Nigeria effectively. If we don't know ruler ship is simply giving instructions which can be done from anywhere in today's globalised world. Let us not show our ignorance, in the name of making comments. We needs changes for better, which is our common position in Nigeria. Lets contributing to making Nigeria better in our very small ways instead of writing in this very myopic ways. If for any reason, the President or any one has health challenge, he will seek medical attention. If you had opportunity of being in Abuja, London or SA and you have any health challenges like headache, will you keep it till you get home?
Germany is the place
Kwestshon:
what are Jonathan and Babangida doing on London ?
when we ALL know that there are special wards for Nigerian VIPS in German hospitals, i.e., before same Nigeria is being annexed by Nigeria.
Prof. Okey N. told you ALL so ages ago.
Gerd - Prof-of-all-okayisms
who does NOT want to repeat this again and again
May God punish you
@anon 22:35, so now that Abiola died, do you have peace in your fucked up country. You shall continue to be hunted till the ills you all created is made right, moron.
So is when Jonah and Sambo die that is when your country would improve? Dumbass. Go and improve yourself and quit wasting time hating. Sit down and draw plans on how to make things right in our country.
GEJ and POs should stay the Fcuk away from those boys in SA.
GEJ and all Nigerian Public officials(POs) should just stay the fcuk away from those boys in SA. The boys have enough goodluck already (from friendlies, trainings and support from our ex internationals like Kanu, JJ, etc). The last thing they need now is GEJ's kind of goodluck which will translate to badluck for them. Nigerians are not even asking which accounts are these public officials are getting these travelling expenses from? Where are these public officials getting the money to shower on the players when there are things to do with this money back home? I am not saying the boys shouldn't be rewarded but if anyone wants to reward them, they should do it from their own pockets and not with public funds just like Dangote did. All these cultists with their demonic gods should just stay away from our beloved SE team.
Too much free food, this is
Too much free food, this is the end result, with budgets of billions on naira on food, too much alchohol and no exercise, = intestinal problems, more grease to oga and perm sec, both obese and of course their attack hippo who is also morbidly obese, this is just the begining of their problems, like the saying goes "pikin wey say him mama no go sleep, him self no go sleep", these people have looted nigeria almost dry, but alas, money cannot buy you good health, they are feeding fast on highly toxic foods, Nigerians wish them more woes, same way they have subjected the common man to, at least they can jet over to foreign countries to find a cure, but the common man cannot.
More details
Hello, I feel it more wise if you can reveal your identity. Anonymous comments cant be judged, most of the time. You claimed to have been around the medical facility when IBB and GEJ separately left. I whose entourage were you?
DERY,AKPOS 1,OTILE and SULTAN OF POOLS.
Dont compused your self.If there was a report that revealed the JON health's condition and said to be sick,what is there?JON is an ordinary humanbeing,so sickness is apart of his life.Why are you so happy to hear somebody's sickness but now you are shouting aganst SR why it report JON is sick.So you JON should keep it at the back of your minds that GOD IS ABLE AND WILL NOT LET YOU SUCCEED AND WILL CORSE YOU ALOT AS YOU CORSED TO NIGERIA AND IT'S INNOCENT CITIZENS.
DERIded fellow.
Your life is a dowry shadow, all you this lazy fellow DERI do is to wake up daily to attack, abuse and accuse other people going about their legitimate businesses, from the journalists to other readers, it is obvious the duty you are paid to do and you are doing well at it.
Sit HERE wasting all the hours of your life, it all ends when your godfathers get voted out of power, your pay stops and your useless, hopeless, sorry life encounters reality. You never leave this SR pages yet you know what is happening all over Nigeria? You certainly don't know which jungle your parents are logging in.
You People Should Learn!
Our leaders should learn before it is too late. If you steal from the people, nature will await you and make you pay back! What kind of leadership will be so shameless as to be patronising other countries health facilities while theirs are moribund!
The Lord is your healer
The Lord will heal you to do those things He has assigned you. The story of the Green Eagles shows that it is not by might but by His grace that a winner emerges. May your good wishes for the Green Eagles come to pass. You have a good heart but you desire the courage to listen less to bad advisers and political opportunists. Treat the whole country as your domain. Do what will enable you leave a remarkable legacy.
Reply To Omoesther Adegoke
I think nigerians should put pressure on the greedy countries that allow corrupt nigerian leaders and their families access to treatment overseas until the bufoons repair nigeria's broken economy,infrastructure and health system.
Man that time left behind
GEJ is the kind of person that time has abandoned. A man who walks but don't see, who laughs but fake, who speaks but cannot rememeber nor keep his words, who eats but never feels satsified. He knows what to do, but the other hslf of his anatomy keeps telling him to 'ride-on' tomorrow no be problem. Damn the irresponsible leader of a witless entity, the wooden stakes at the bar-beach are no big deals for a fisherman who's used to living on $5 per day. Let him keep having fun licking some foreign asses until someday no one allows his yeye airplane to touch down.
