    Be careful what you wish for. Don't confuse being anaesthetized or being under a sedative to being in a coma or virtually being dead for an extended period of time. As gullible as most Nigerians are, these professed experience could spur a "cult" following whereby Mrs. Patience Jonathan would be viewed as a "god-like" figure. And, coming from an environment where these illogical beliefs run wild, she must now begin to debunk these statements of celestial experience. True Christians often would not make these kinds of careless statements. This is a dangerous position to take. ***This brings a very interesting point.............in the interest of our National Security. Has any other qualified medical facility in Britain or the United States re-examined the First Lady? What if, while she was under sedation, some listening devices were planted in her? How safe actually, are our officials who prefer foreign medical clinics for treatment, rather than being treated at home? In the United States,no president or his family member would venture out, or contract the treatment of any member of their family to any foreign entity. American medical personnel, as are Nigerian Medical Personnel are equally qualified to treat members of the President's family. This outsourcing of medical treatment responsibilities must, by an Act of the National Assembly be made illegal, because it smacks as an insult on our faces.
