Nigerians are known for their ignorance. Who did not? Sanctions is a UN call not Nigeria or Botswana. Stop! You ignorance is embarrasing Africa. After all you are receiving the most Aid in Africa. Do yo want the countries giving you aid to come to your door step to collect on their goodwill? What have your parents taught yu about giving. Really disgusted by this!

It is no anomaly, the reason SA is visa free to citizens of the UK is because they are not rushing in droves to the place, if SA sees that UK guys are coming to settle down in their country, they will change their entry requirements.

steve_cantrell:

Granted !

But the point I'm trying to make is Mandela was only a human like the rest of us ! And I'm not trying to hold brief for Nigerian leaders and the damage they've done in over 5o years.

To be fair to your Mandela, he didn't have much of a choice, he was not in any position to call the shots from his jail cell. There was a limit to which he could bargain on behalf of black south africa.

You see, your country was and is still run by Jews, this is why Israel didn't support the end of apartheid, nor did they attend today's memorial.

Your president, a black man, is very powerful but all his decisions about your country are subject to a secret veto.
Or do you think it was your president that authorised the police to open fire on those mine workers ?

As long as there is gold, silver, diamonds lying beneath your land, black south africa's progress will continue to be carefully 'managed'.

Nigeria's case is a different but tragic kettle of fish altogether.

And another DAFT BABOON shows up!! Hey f@&kface, ever heard of NORTH AMERICA and SOUTH AMERICA?! And you think the cause of your 5th WAEC/GCE resit exams is an old lady in your village when you waste your time watching nollywood movies and engage in brain-numbing activities?!


GO AND READ YOUR F@%KING BOOKS BOY!!!!!!

Originalsly: Hate him or love him......Fashola has spoken the bitter truth.

deor03: I listened live to when our dear president was introduced. The was huge roar from the crowd in the stadium.

what the OP stated is very untrue

zinaunreal:

MAGOT! Did they U don't know wat a continent is. If I knew you in real life na slap I for give you every morning. Did they tell you they are separate? FOUL! Chai! Nairaland has produced Genius , Mad men and Rats. See this Rat.

50calibre: Are people surprised at the snub? C'mon anyone could have predicted that. This isnt new, Nigeria is constantly snubbed by the international community.

people need to realise Nigeria is getting increasingly inconsequential in world affairs of today, an international pariah. it's best you prepare your mind for more of these. The world is evolving, evolve with it or get dropped behind, you just can't keep grappling with the same issues for decades & expect to be taken seriously.

It's time Nigerians rise & revolt against this shambles they call a government, or can keep decieving themselves. When You look at GEJ, you see a square peg in a round hole, he looks completely out of place, completely clueless, completely lacking of any leadership quality or charisma, now you can disagree if you like, the end shall tell.

Failure has no friends.

kgr28: jews jews are running usa not sa...

maybe you dont understand the role madiba played! Reconcilliation, when he came out he had a choice civil war or peace thats why hes being celebrated...and it was close to civil war when chris Hani was killed.

anc had a vision, madiba was elected to bring peace, then mbeki to fix the economy...then they lost the plot with zuma, when they recalled mbeki from office. mandela is being celebrated for the kind of person he was...

all wanted is sa should have killed or chased whites out of sa, and take over everything. now black were given enferior education, black couldnt do anything to better their lives. now how can you take over all the countries institutions and businesse in 20 years, when the blacks are still recovering, try to fix the education left by the whites, when blacks dont have expertise? it will take generation to fix what whites did, and we are making progress since 94.

nigeria is helping people just cauše they want to be given praises, pat in the back and recognition. when they cant help themselves.

i mean what kind of country where universities go on strike for 5 mnths, then you whant to be taken seriously?? like for real.

stop bittching nigeria did this and that for sa, so are other countries.

Acidosis:

Roar from who? Nigerians hunting for daily bread in white man land South africa?

solomon111: Shut up and get lost.
Your botswana country of not more than 10million is a non-entity.
Definitely can't be compared to Nigeria in status,diplomacy or economy now or in the future.

Horus:

Botswana enjoy 24 hours of electric power per days. It is better to be a "a non-entity" with electricity to run businesses rather than be the Giant of Power Failiure of Africa

Johnjack: Well there is always a reciprocation of things like that..So when our own IBB or Obasanjo dies we will
reciprocate and snub S.A.,ha ha ha!
South Africans shouldn't celebrate because i know that the man that holds the edge has departed to great beyond
and soon center can not hold itself in S.A,I wish them luck and more prosperity.
Nigeria will be good one day when Aboki removes the evil machination of born to rule.
Long Live federal republic of Nigeria.

AjaraEwuro: So The President of Nigeria Goodluck Jonathan didnt make a speech at the memorial service for Nelson Mandela, but so what? Critics have gone to the social media to say he was snubbed. Haba, what about over 90 other head of states who never made a speech? But critics will be quick to say Nigeria is the giant of Africa hence the President should have made a speech, if it pains you, why not go to the podium by force and ask that you want to make a speech on behalf of Nigeria?
