What Your Tribute To Mandela Says About You by lagosapple: 3:39pm On Dec 08, 2013
This is from the indefatigable Dr. Damages.

"My people say that the day you mourn someone is the day your mourn yourself. If you look at it very well, the things that people say about Mandela say a lot about the people saying them.

"For example, President Obama in his tribute said that Mandela “no longer belongs to us, he belongs to the ages.” Eayeah! You can be sure that when Obama’s time comes, most Americans will say that Obama no longer belongs to us, he belongs to the Kenyans now. Former President George W. Bush said of Mandela; “he bore his burden with dignity and grace and our world is better off because of his example.” Wow! Impressive. When George W. Bush’s time comes, the world will remember this clip of President Bush on September 11, 2001 when he was told that terrorists bombed the World Trade Center. In it Bush showed dignity and grace. He soon made the world better by attacking Iraq.
Nigeria’s own President Jonathan said that Mandela would be ‘sorely missed’ by all who cherish love, peace and justice. I tell you, when Jonathan’s time comes, people will say that Jonathan will be surely be missed by Stella Oduah and Dieziani Allison-Madueke and that Jamaican Culture minister.

"Obama also said that we will not see the likes of Nelson Mandela again. Why is that? Was it because he went from being a prisoner to being a president? So did Olusegun Obasanjo.
