andyanders: I listened to OBJ reading his tribute to Mandela and when I heard him say that he wanted Mandela to continue in office by contesting another election, and Mandela asked him a question " If he has seen an 80 old man contesting for an election" that he was taken aback. |

If not for greed, ObJ would have been a greater hero. Spent over 40 years of his life with the opurtunity to fix Nigeria, but greed and ego would not let him. 2 Likes |

I don't understand why Mandela gave this shameless old CIA stooge the time of day. The fool might have been sent by his white masters to spy on Mandela because that is all the old sell out bas.tard is good for. Can this old fool sacrifice one day in prison for the people of Nigeria not to talk of 27 years? Obj should rest assured that the day he kicks the bucket no sane Nigerian will mourn him. 1 Like |

How the CIA (Obasanjo's buddies) helped jail Mandela: Crocodile Tears: It was the CIA that helped jail Nelson Mandela Crocodile Tears to mask US imperialism's role as the enemy of African liberation This article was published in July 2013 Today is Nelson Mandela’s 95th birthday, but forget the crocodile tears from the U.S. government about Mandela’s poor health. Imperialist diplomacy with all of its sugar-coated phrases is nothing more than a form of historical perjury. Nelson Mandela’s arrest in 1962, which led to 18 of his 27 years of imprisonment on Robbins Island, was based on the work of the CIA. The CIA and National Security Agency worked as partners with the racist, apartheid regime’s vicious military and intelligence services. Mandela was a leader of the African National Congress (ANC) that organized civil resistance and an armed struggle against South Africa’s white racist apartheid regime. The United States and the other western capitalist governments supported the racist, fascist apartheid regime. Mandela was labeled a terrorist by the United States. So was the entire ANC. Even as late as 2008 the U.S. State Department had to pass special waivers so that Mandela or any ANC leader could visit the United States because he and the ANC were still on the “terrorist watch list.” The ANC’s struggle for Black majority rule and the liquidation of apartheid received critical support from Cuba, the Soviet Union and other socialist countries. The ANC had an active alliance with South African Communist Party in the struggle for Black majority rule. Even after the fall of the apartheid government ANC members applying for visas to the USA were flagged for questioning and forced to ask for waivers to enter the country. Former ANC chairman Tokyo Sexwale was denied a visa in 2002 In an act of shameless duplicity, the various leaders of the U.S. imperialist government have pretended that they were always opposed to Mandela’s imprisonment. In 2007, Barbara Masekela, South Africa’s ambassador to the United States until the year prior was denied a visa to visit a dying cousin living in the United States. U.S. Imperialism was the enemy of African Liberation The CIA and NSA spy services—with the full collaboration of such transnational corporations at IBM, Kodak and many others—worked at all levels and for decades for apartheid and against the African National Congress activists who were routinely murdered, tortured and sentenced to life terms in the hell holes of South Africa. The ANC was labeled and treated as a terrorist organization and pro-communist by the CIA and successive U.S. administrations, Democratic and Republican alike. Congress, too, was an enthusiastic cheerleader for this vile partnership with the planet’s most disgustingly racist regime. The House of Representatives only voted to call for Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in 1986 when it was clear that the fascist apartheid regime’s days were numbered, leading the United States and Britain to abruptly shift course and broker a negotiated end to the white supremacist system. A mass worldwide anti-apartheid movement had completely isolated South Africa. Dick Cheney voted against the House resolution in 1986, pointing out that the U.S. government was still retaining the ANC on the official U.S. “terrorist list.” The U.S. and Britain knew the end had finally come for the usefulness of the apartheid government when its seemingly invincible military was decisively defeated by the Angolan army and thousands of Cuban volunteers in the historic battle of Cuito Canavale. As Mandela said, “When Africa called, Cuba answered.” Shameless duplicity In an act of shameless duplicity, once Mandela was released from prison, each successive U.S. administration has pretended that the United States was always opposed to Mandela’s imprisonment and stood with him against apartheid. After getting out of prison, Mandela came to the United States to meet President George H.W. Bush on June 25, 1990. He was being touted as a hero and a champion in the fight against racism. The U.S. government, working through propagandists in the corporate-owned media, tried to instill a society-wide case of amnesia about the fact that they were the defenders of apartheid and directly responsible for Mandela’s imprisonment. But one reporter had the gall to ask an unscripted question. Bush’s press secretary, Marlin Fitzwater, was asked in the days before the June 25 meeting with Bush whether the president would apologize to Mandela for the U.S. role in his arrest. Fitzwater was angry and caught off guard. He said, “I just don’t like it when people question our motives on blacks or on Mandela because of an incident that happened 20 years ago in another administration.” Today, on Mandela’s 95th birthday and when the U.S. government celebrates Mandela, will any of the corporate media expose the bloody role of the CIA, NSA and other U.S. intelligence services in their war against the African liberation movements? Nelson Mandela is a beacon for the oppressed. He is a hero and he will be remembered as such. Not true for the CIA and NSA which worked as the spy service for the racist, apartheid regime as it hunted down and captured Mandela and captured or killed his comrades. http://www.globalresearch.ca/crocodile-tears-it-was-the-cia-that-helped-jail-nelson-mandela/5360582 1 Like |

cap28: I don't understand why Mandela gave this shameless old CIA stooge the time of day. The fool might have been sent by his white masters to spy on Mandela because that is all the old sell out bas.tard is good for. Are you saying if OBJ was a young Nigerian in the 60s he couldn't have been an activist against a hypothetical white apartheid regime in Nigeria? Remember that is all Mandela was, before he was picked up and locked in jail on trumped up charges of conspiring to overthrow the government in 1962 - an anti-apartheid campaigning lawyer. No different from say Femi Falana or Gani Fawehinmi in Nigeria. It was the time he spent in jail (27 years) that made him an African hero and global icon. A rallying figure in the fight against oppression. In many ways he was a creation of the apartheid regime. Any country that went through what the blacks did in South Africa would have had a 'Mandela'. |

For those who cast aspersion on the personality of OBJ, Our great hero in Africa ditto Mandela, a prophet does not have value in his land. History made us to understand obj played a prominent role for Mandela to be released from prison, this involves mental and financial assistance to ANC in south africa. Get it clearly that Mandela dropped his 2nd term bid due to physical and health problems which he had suffered during his 27 year incarceration in the prison. I see Obj as Africa Legend. |

ROSSIKE: On whose side did OBJ fight during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war? The British backed northerners or the secessionist igbos? The answer will tell you everything you need to know about where Obj's loyalties lie. Your attempt to reduce Madiba's greatness by describing him as nothing more than an activist is a pathetic attempt to distort history, I don't know if you know this but Madiba was at the forefront of anti colonialist politics right from his days as a member of the ANC youth league, he led from the front and was never afraid to get his hands dirty. I don't remember Obj being anything more than a white man's lackey and CIA agent since the 1970s. HOw many "activists" do you know that sacrifice 27 years of their life in prison for a cause? You might as well say that Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were mere activists despite the fact that they paid the ultimate price. I can assure you that if the apartheid govt of south Africa coudl have had Mandela murdered while he was in prison they would have done so in order to erase him from the minds of the black south African people but they knew that in doing so they would make him a martyr so they had no choice other than to keep him alive in prison, therefore giving them credit for his creation is pure lunacy. The fact that Nigerians have not have to deal with the physical presence of white minority rule does not mean that Nigeria does not experience the same things that black south Africans experienced under a racist apartheid system. I would aruge that Nigerians are actually living under an apartheid system right now but the difference is that the perpertrators are their fellow black African leaders who are puppets of their European and American masters. Lest I forget Obj recently handed out vast tracts of agricultural land in Nigeria to the racist white farmers that Mugabe kicked out of Zimbabwe and as we speak GEJ is involved in selling off fertile Nigerian farmland to European and American investors, very soon Nigerians will end up in the same position as black south Africans where they do not even own land in their own country. 1 Like |
