SA has lost his greatest son. Who will now be the
hero and moral compass for Africa? May God keep
and protect our own greatest son General Olusegun
Obasanjo, the only man on the African continent
that comes closest to the Madiba ideals in
leadership. OBJ the baton of African leadership is
now in ur hand.

nijanigga:
Nonsense, even an im.be.ci.le can give these prophecies.

If am im*becile can give same why did the im*becile give same last year or the preceding year? It might interest you to know that Madiba was not ill when the prophecies were given.

yung tunchi: i will miss my political father,no nigerian leader will or can ever be like him,
Obsession with a man actually makes sense to think rubbish and exactly, mouth to talk rubbish !!

ZA was worst an hell hole compared to Nigeria Until Never Tired nor Retired MANDIBA makes it a FreeWorld for Blacks and Whites !!

Nigeria shall be Freed too,and it is all about being Hopeful, never tired,thinking Positive and struggling until the freedom is achieved ...... Mandella never loses Hope and here he is Today,in Global History, a GreatHero !!!


RIP Mandela,History shall always reward you for your succesfully achieved Struggle towards Freedom for Humanity !!
Re: Nelson Mandela Is Dead by Nobody: 5:45am On Dec 06, 2013
During his trial at the Supreme court on 20th April 1964, Nelson Mandela said;

"During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for. But, my lord, if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die".


This is one of the greatest statement of Mandela that I love. So courageous and true to his ideals.

RIP Mandela A.K.A madiba. The world will miss you.

Re: Nelson Mandela Is Dead by DTaj: 5:50am On Dec 06, 2013
What an icon! American flag at the White House lowered at half-mast immediately his death was announced (and will remain so till Monday); Obama directs all American installations all over the world to lower the US flag also...

Comments from world leaders (well before his death, some dating back as far as 1990) aired on sveral global TV channels showed how remarkably special the respect the entire world has for this great man!

Mandela's comments in an interview before his inauguration (after winning the South African Presidential elections) is remarkable. In response to a question about his likely assassination, especially by disgruntled whites, he said: "We don't consider ourselves as individuals, if anyone among us is not available, nothing would change the ideology behind our struggle'. What a human being, what a life he lived!

In 2004 when he retired from public life, he says: 'Don't call me, I would call you'! My public activities would henceforth be drastically reduced. Imagine that! And he voluntarily left power after a SINGLE TERM in spite of the cult figure he was in South Africa and all over the world. A renowned commentator said: 'It is incredibly amazing to see Mandela leave power after one term when most leaders in Africa hardly wish to leave even after two terms, with manipulated constitutions, etc'. He conquered hate and whole-heartedly forgave his enemies and jailers!

The ONLY African leader (past or present) to have his statues erected while alive in several non-African countries...

The entire spectrum of social media is abuzz with Mandela comments, even in countries with crazy time zones, people woke up to celebrate his life. What a life!!!

Mandela earned his stripes. Bye, bye a remarkably profound soul! An exact opposite of most Nigerian leaders in approach, attitude, mien, and spirit...
