The iron lady bows out!! No matter what anybody says, this woman was a great lady!! She was great!! She helped crush communism, she paved the way for female leadership!! She saved the united kingdom from collapes. She made tough choices to save a nation collapsing under it's own weight. Whatever suffering anyone suffered under her reforms was a necessary price to pay for the continual survival of the nation. History will judge her incredibly!! 2 Likes |

Most people tend to live out their latter years in regret at actions they took while younger or in a position of authority I wonder what her's was especially as the gtim reaper beckoned through ill-health Too bad racists (especially white ones) tend to spawn faster before we can decapitate them NL dee jay,please play MAKAVELI's White Man's World to celebrate Thatcher's departure 1 Like |

1) Magaret Thatcher killed several civilians and innocent Argentines during the Falkland war. 2) She kept Nelson Mandela in jail; Mandela was only able to leave jail after she stepped down as prime minister. Little wonder she suffered stroke several times and died before Mandela. 3) Unemployment was at its peak during her reign. 4) She was vehemently against the reunification of East Germany and West Germany. |

I remember her first visit in 1988. Babangida, who used a Peugeot 504 at that time, brought out the old Mercedes 600 Pullman (which was used by Ironsi, Gowon and Shagari and which is used during inauguration ceremonies today). Security was tight, because Ife students had vowed to disrupt the visit (in protest against Mrs Thatcher's stance on issues in South Africa). Admiral Aikhomu received her at the airport and took her to State House Marina, where General Babngida was waiting. They received the national salute, 21 gun salute and she inspected the guard of honour. Although soldiers and policemen were able to prevent Ife students from getting to State House, they couldn't stop them from burning british flags on Awolowo Road as her motorcade drove by on its way to Dodan Barracks. I suspect that it was during this visit that the secret deal to sell tanks to Nigeria was struck. 5 Likes |

shymexx: Remember how her statue was decapitated? This is how much she is hated in this country: [b]On July 3, 2002, Paul Kelleher decapitated a £150,000, eight-foot (2.4 m), 1.8-tonne (2.0-short-ton), marble statue of the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on display at the Guildhall Art Gallery in central London.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decapitation_of_a_statue_of_Margaret_Thatcher |

These folks for yahoonews dey yarn sha. Lewl . 24 minutes ago "what a sad sad day, I know they are getting older and with time their stature will diminish however it is still so very sad to see these great and very strong people, not just leaders, pass on, these were people with great strong moral character and fiber so strong that no matter what side you were on they commanded respect and received what they deserved, we're losing these people only to replace them with what? a whole generation of people who can't keep their pants up or their hats on straight and think covering their bodies with so much ink and piercings is a more important statement than having the moral fortitude to do the right thing no matter the cost, we have no leaders with any foresight to the future and a path to choose they only think of themselves and what makes them feel good for the moment, Margaret and Ronnie send us down some good strong people to lead our children please, rest in peace great lady your battle has been won!" 1 Like |

Margaret Thatcher will be forever remembered as the 'Iron Lady' of British politics, I still remembered when she visited Nigeria during IBB's regime, where she said, 'Nigeria is an artificial creation of the British government' she remained a Tory till death! |

Lets see if Cameron has the balls to give this woman a state funeral - I can't see the British people tolerating that. |
