The body of the late Nigerian president has been laid to rest in his home state of Katsina 
Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria's acting president, has been sworn in as the country's new leader following the death of Umaru Yar'Adua.
Jonathan took the oath of office at a ceremony in the capital, Abuja, on Thursday, just hours after officials announced the death of Yar'Adua following a long illness.
Thousands of mourners attended Yar'Adua's funeral in his northern home state of Katsina late on Thursday, as the country began seven days of mourning.
Jonathan had already been running the country after assuming the position of acting president on February 9, while Yar'Adua was in Saudi Arabia receiving medical treatment.
Under the constitution, Jonathan is now the head of state until the country's next elections scheduled to be held by April 2011. He will also nominate a vice-president, subject to approval by the senate.

ReplyDeleteNaomba walioelimika wanisaidie (learned Brothers), kuvaa mataulo au matambala kichwani kwa waheshimiwa Majaji kuna maana gani?? Na chimbuko lake ni wapi??

We Ano wa kwanza usifikiri waafrika au mataifa yote duniani yameadhiriwa na utamaduni wa kigeni wa kufaa nguo na mashati yalikabwa na kitanzi shingoni. Hao wanautamaduni wao na wanaudumisha na nawapongeza.
ReplyDeleteBongo tunayemwona wa maana aliyevaa kitanzi, lakini jamaa aliyevaa msuli ni wa kutupwa. Hongera Nigeria kwa kudumisha mila na kubuni majoho ya majaji kiutamaduni si kufuata yale ya ulaya tu.
we usiwe kama hujaenda shule...hayo waliovaa kichwani sio utamaduni wa nigeria ...hiyo ni mavazi ya waingereza yatokea enzi na enzi....so plz check ur facts...
ReplyDeleteanyway its high time wa africa tupunguze some of these mental slavery stuff...yaani its obviously vigumu kuondoa yote but comeon hao wasomi wa court room zetu i dont thnk wakiacha kuvaa hizo kofia za kikoloni watapungukiwa usomi wao
Candid Scope acha kupayuka. Mwenzanko anaulizia powdered wigs wewe unakuja na mengine. Anonymous waa kwanza, haya mavazi ni ya asili ya Uingereza. Enzi hizo walikuwa ni vizito tu ambao waliweza kuvaa hizo nguo na wigs, na wanasheria walikuwa ni moja wa vizito hao. Uingereza mpaka leo mahakamani wanavaa hivyo, na nchi zilizokuwa makoloni ya Uingereza kama Marekani wamebakia kuvaa majoho tu.
