This article addresses Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua's recent visit to Germany to receive medical treatment, and this is not the first time that the President has left Nigeria to receive treatment elsewhere in the past year. According to the article, Yar'Adua was visiting a hospital in Germany to receive treatment for an allergic reaction. The article then discusses Yar'Adua's passing of the 2008 budget for Nigeria which was done in a less than extravagant manner which is much different than in the past. This could cause some worry among Nigerians, but according to the article, Yar'Adua essentially just had to sign the bill and pass it on without any sort of ceremony. The true question here is whether or not the Nigerian people see this as a weakness in their leader because he is having to leave the country to receive medical treatment.
