The death of former South African President, Nelson Mandela, seems to have left Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, world acclaimed wordsmith, short of words.
He appears to be so shell- shocked and devastated. In a rare and short tribute to former South African president and anti-apartheid hero, Nelson Mandela, Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka had this to say " "The soul of Africa has departed, and there is nothing miraculous left in the world." Mr. Mandela passed away Thursday night at 95, throwing the entire world into unprecedented mourning. Meanwhile, tributes have continued to pour following the death of the man who is credited for reconciling White and Black South African after the brutal apartheid era that saw the black majority suffering hideous human rights abuses under successive white minority regimes. Mandela was born in 1918. He was sentenced to life in imprisonment by the apartheid government for his armed struggle against a government infamous for killing unarmed protesters. He spent 27 years in prison before was released and elected first black South African president in 1993.

PLS WHAT SORT OF RECRUITMENT AGENCY IS WORKFORCE? IMAGINE THEY CALLED PEOPLE TO OWERRI ON 25TH NOV 2013 ONLY TO INFORM THEM ON THE TRAINING VENUE THAT WHAT THEY CAME FOR IS OND JOB? DOES IT MAKE SENSE?

AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THEY TOLD THE ALREADY AGITATED JOB SEEKERS WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT ON THE LIST THEY CALLED THAT THEY SHOULD GO HOME AND WAIT TO BE CALLED. THIS IS AFTER GOING ALL THE WAY TO BENCHMARK HOTELS,14 ODOUBI CRESCENT, IKENEGBU LAYOUT.

THIS IS THE SAME PEOPLE THAT MESSED UP THE NEITI APTITUDE TEST THEY CONDUCTED LATE LAST YEAR!

WHO WILL PROTECT NIGERIANS? AND IMAGINE CONDUCTING THE ENUGU INTERVIEW TILL 11PM ON THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER 2013.

IS THE Workforce Management Centre A CURSE OR A BLESSING? EFCC OVER TO YOU.

i can't biliv my lappy typed 'madela' without under lining it! What d fucck?

Well, my name too na dare. No under-lining for computer grin grin grin
