But di presidential office for Seoul don tok say no particular signs from di North to indicate say di 36-year-old dey "seriously sick".

We know say im chair one key political meeting di day before, from state media despatches. But dem never see am since. State media also no make any mention of im presence for one missile test last week. Im dey usually dey for dis kind launch dem.

But later one sensational headline for US media comot say di North Korean leader dey in critical condition after heart surgery. However, statement from South Korea goment, and sources for Chinese intelligence - for interview with Reuters news agency - say di tori no dey true. E dey important to note say nobody don deny say Kim Jong-un undergo heart surgery. Di statement from South Korea and China merely deny say di North Korean leader dey seriously sick. North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun carry several photo wey show di North Korean leader dey use cane for October 2014 No be di first time Kim 'go miss' For 2014, Kim Jong-un disappear for 40 days from early September - wey spark plenti speculation, wey include say oda political opposition don use coup comot am.

Tori be say Kim Jong-il prepare im youngest son to take over for many years Who go replace Kim if im die? If anytin happun to di North Korean leader, e no dey clear who go replace am. Kim Jong-un papa prepare am to lead di kontri for many years. Di Kim dynasty look secure. Kim sister, Kim Yo-jong, look like di clear choice. No be only say she come from di sacred "Paektu blood line", wey define di Kim dynasty, she done dey make more headlines of her own. Last month she make her first public statement and she done dey make constant presence by her brother side for key summits. But for now, we fit only watch and wait to see if North Korea react to dis many speculation about their leader health. Di truth be say when e come to information about di North Korean leadership, many times we dey struggle to see road inside darkness.
