Post date: May 6, 2010 6:10:06 AM
Big oil and poor people like always
Mr Yar'Adua, 58,
came to power in 2007 promising many reforms.
Analysts say he made the most progress in tackling unrest in
the oil-rich Niger Delta. Mr Yar'Adua will be buried in a Muslim
ceremony later on Thursday in his home state of Katsina,
in the north of the country.
His family and closest political advisers had faced severe criticism
and were accused of using him to hold on to power.
