THATS A 419ED IDENTITY YA'LL ARE KNOWN BY YOUR FELLOW NIGERIANS FOR LIES AND CLAIMS.

On this thread we have Moratiwa from Limpopo in SOUTH AFRICA. He is a LEMBA and has a percentage of Jewish DNA sample in his genes like those black South Africans I posted and many other. But they know theyr not Jews.

EVERYONE HAS BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR JEWISH CLAIM. THE TRUETH IS IGBOS AREN'T JEWS.

IM NOT SUPRISED BY YOUR "STUPID RANTS BY THE WAY MR IBU".

Greatest paean for the Great Madiba. Indelible footprints on the sands of time. The collossus that towers ahead of inventors, generals, statesmen, geniuses and other manifestations of greatness. We are favoured to have drawn from the uncommon inspiration you provided. Adieu great son of Mother Africa!

... cos I have greater respect for Mandela than your God.[/size][/b]

rudedough:

You don't get what we are saying here.

You and your friend may be right but this is not the right time nor the right thread to voice this opinion.

Have some respect for the dead.[/b]

Rudedough, in as much as I follow and agree with many of your brutely unapologetical well-informed responses on various threads on this forum, I think you've unknowingly shot yourself in the leg regarding your quoted and bolded reply above. First of all, as you may know-I'm not an atheist but I naturally conceive reasoning that are atheistic in respect to semitic deities, likewise I do share many atheistic viewpoints towards abrahamic religions and claims. Regardless of my stand, I'd like to point out that you have goofed without realizing it as I'm very sure atheism rejects all eschatological doctrines based on the unavailability of proof hence considered scientifically illogical; particularly the ressurrection of the dead for judgment on judgment day (Christianity) including any other model of life after death expressed in other believe systems. Scientifically I agree that when any life form dies, no matter how complex, all it organic components cease function. As a scientist which I believe you are, and an atheist for that matter, why treat a corpse (Nelson Mandela's) as though he would continue on living somewhere unknown to you and I (perhaps maybe known to some religionists). By stating "Have some respect for the dead", just like many who say it, have knowingly indirectly acknowledge or knowingly assume that a departed person somehow, somewhere still lingers on in another type of existence by mere usage of the term "the dead". This is not about how credible an atheist you claim to be, since I sure think it was probably borne out of fandom, hope you do get my point because there are very sensitive member like me and Obadiah777 who could get a wrong signal.

[b]Thank you for your comment, i do appreciate when someone present a constructive criticism of my opinion.

I will also want to point out that my statement "have some respect for the dead" means the same thing as it literally sounds and not anything of a supernatural, ancestral or a soul lingering in another planet.

My take on this is that Nelson Mandela just died, he lived a life of pain, struggle and liberation for his country. He was loved and respected by many. "Socially", those who love him are still mourning and hurting from his death.

While people are still mourning their leader, some elements think it's the right time to criticize him which in my opinion is not socially right.

So i said, "this is not the right time nor the right thread to voice this opinion, have some respect for the dead" which literally means, have social respect for he who just passed and for those who're mourning his death.

I hope you understand my viewpoint and do feel free to point me out anytime. Cheers grin

What does these trophies have to do with the death of Nelson Mandela?

Are you showcasing these trophies to show how powerful South Africa boxing is or to start an e-rumble on which country collected the most trophies?

Either way your intention isn't a good one and this is not the right thread to do that. For Pete's sake your leader just died, grow up son, grow up.

[b]WORLD LEADERS COMING TO SOUTH AFRICA FOR MADIBA MEMORIAL ON TUESDAY. grin grin grin grin grin grin

The memorial service of one of the world’s most-loved politicians will take place on Tuesday at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, and scores of politicians from across the planet are expected to arrive in this week in order to pay their respects.

Officials said the security plan was replicated from the 2010 soccer World Cup. Minister in the Presidency for Performance Monitoring and Evaluation, Collins Chabane yesterday refused to comment any further on security arrangements.

What we can say is that all the events and those who attend them are safe. I assure you, we have very strict security measures in place. It is a state funeral, category 1, meaning a state funeral with full military ceremonial honours. This entails a guard-of-honour and troops for a 21-gun salute, pall bearers, fly pasts, a gun carriage to carry the coffin, a military band and a marching escort.

The master plan behind securing Madiba’s memorial service, and the protecting the huge number of high-profile mourners has been four years in the making, according to government, and everything is in place to guarantee the safety of over 50 world leaders, scores of foreign and South African dignitaries, and thousands of mourners.

The 800-strong 14 SA Infantry Battalion has been put in place for the state funeral in Qunu, Eastern Cape, on Sunday. At least two SA Navy frigates will also be stationed off the Eastern Cape coast. A no-fly zone has also been imposed over Mthatha airport, with continuous aerial surveillance.

A current total of 59 heads of state have committed to attending the memorial service.

The Obamas have invited the Bush family to fly to South Africa alongside them in the Air Force One, while Prince Charles will attend the service on behalf of Queen Elizabeth.

Ex-president Bill Clinton, who was in office when Mandela took power to become South Africa’s first black president, also said that he would be making the trip with his family.

UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, has also committed to travel to Johannesburg for the memorial service, along with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. 13 other African heads of state have also been confirmed.

“From 11 to 13 December, the remains of our beloved Madiba will lie in state at the seat of government, the Union Buildings in Pretoria, where he served as the first president of this young democracy,” Zuma said.

“During these days, official memorial services will also be held in all provinces and regions.”[/b]
