I'm a little surprised there are handful of people that don't know who Deinde Fernandez was. Truly there are many kids on Nairaland. In the 1980s and 90s, years before Dangote, Adenuga and Otedola becomes household names synonymous to wealth in Nigeria. The likes of Deinde Fernandez, Harry Akande and MKO Abiola wealth are the type you pray to God to bless you with. This is a man that held ambassadorial positions in many countries around the world, he was a deputy prime minister in a country outside his country of origin, a very highly diplomatic man respected all over the world, we were told he owned a private island, he owned cars that were owned by the royal family, this man defined poshness and classiness of wealth. With reasons best known to him, he didn't do so much on the home front (Nigeria).

RIP sir

Even if one was not of that generation are there no books to enlighten one if and only if the 'indomie generation' gets off their lazy b.utt.s and to open them. For them life started with the internet when 'God' said, 'let there be twitter....'

I don't want to get into insults with you.
all I would tell u is The death of a rich man is more gracious than that of a poor man. even rich deadbodies have better qualities than that of poor dead-bodies.
if u still argue over the differences, go to the nearest mortuary to your house and dig out some corpse.
Your rude manner of approach strikes me as you being a skilled undertaker or yet to be harnessed talent.
Now go and eat your indomie.
