During the end of 2009, the Nigerian President Umara Yar’Adua left Nigeria to get treatment for his heart in Saudi Arabia. No big deal. Only he forgot to tell anyone or hand over the executive powers to his deputy. It was only after more than six weeks passed by without anyone hearing from him, that people started suspecting something was wrong. Six weeks? The guy must have a lot of cats.
Once his absence was realized, the country went into a constitutional crisis trying to figure out legal procedures for dealing with the power vacuum created by his absence. Then after three months of leave without permission, he showed up again in February 2010, only to hole up in his palace and refusing to meet anyone. Shortly afterwards, he died, giving way to the new President Goodluck Jonathan who is such a badass that he banned Nigerian football team from participating in international events after it failed to go beyond group stage in the FIFA World Cup. Boo yeah!
