[] Summary: The President of Nigeria, Umaru Yar'Adua, encountered a heart condition and was known as acute pericarditis. People first discovered this on Monday November 20th 2009 after he returned from the Abuja Central Mosque as he was complaining about his severe chest pain. The president has to deal with this condition and a chronic kidney condition that he has had for 10 years now. Although, he was claimed that President Umaru was responding really well to the treatment that he has been receiving for this condition, and he was claimed not to be severely ill. President Umaru has had a lot of health issues and was unable to attend a lot of his duties lately. All President Umaru says when asked about what condition he had, is that his life was in the hands of god.

Compare & Contrast: Both of these news articles were based on the same topic, president of Nigeria had a heart condition, but BBC had a lot more information than the New York times. For example, BBC has quotes explaining exactly where, when, and how they noticed the condition, but the New York Times only talks about when he first got medical checks about his heart condition. BBC has a lot more details in their article than the New York Times do, and BBC also has quotes and pictures, the New York Times doesn't. BBC also has a column of facts about the president of Nigeria, and the New York Times doesn't.

What I think: My opinion about this is that this case is a very serious matter because the health of the President is getting more and more ill. He has already suffered a kidney condition and couldn't attend some of his duties, but now there is a heart condition stacked upon him as well? What will this result to in Nigeria if the President cannot attend any of these duties? I am very scared for the future of Nigeria's leader, and the future of Nigeria. I believe that the coverage was a very well written article! My opinion about this coverage is that it was well written out, there were a lot of specific dates, and there are a lot of information for readers! The coverage is overall a well written article.
