Must Nigeria hold a special service for him? I get that he was a legend but how e take concern us?

Meanwhile, ASUU is still on strike! Shameless hypocrites crying more than the bereaved.

Big4wig: Kudos to baba manDiba..rip sir

A white man said, "colored people are not allowed
here."
The black man responded "Listen sir, when I was
born I was BLACK when I grew up I was BLACK, when
I'm sick I'm BLACK, when I go in the sun I'm BLACK,
when I'm cold I'm BLACK, when I die I'll be BLACK.
But you sir. When you are born you're PINK When you
grow up you're WHITE, when you're sick, you're
GREEN, when you go in the sun you turn RED, when
you're cold you turn BLUE, And when you die you
turn PURPLE. And you have the nerves to call me
colored?!!!"

like If you proud to be black.

I am proud to be black, but I am not sure what your epistle means.

What a wacked citizenry, if its Odara or Obama or O-butter or perhaps Olumba of US dat did it we would still rain insults on OUR own. Now we are d first yet U(haters) still insult UR own. Why Oyibo no go carry us clean y*a*n*c*h till d 45th generation? Be proud of Ur own for once! Weldon to d presidency

Celebrating Mandela is great but I think we need to do more of reflection as a country. We assisted SA fight apartheid burning our financial resources heavily, we accommodated, feed and provided security for ANC leaders, we also gave them our passports, all these for them to be liberated. And few years after there liberation, they are here dominating our economy. (Telecoms, Banking, Retail buz, and lots more).
We need to revalue our lives as a country and seek a political process that we enable us as a Nation to get our best minds to lead us politically. Then every economic aspirations can be fulfilled. In my opinion what we have been having are some mediocre in the name of political leaders.

Brimmie: Na bedsheet Patience take sew that clothe abi na Curtain!?

2nd To The Last Pic: Who are those ppl with Salamander Head??

The bolded part got me cracking

How much did you spend for that little memorial service .i dont want to hear you spent #2bn

Am sure abati didnt see anytin because madam patience cap is too high for him.

A bunch of hypocrites! I cannot just fathom how leaders will gather, listen to Mandela's sacrifice for his people with all seriousness and still be thieves enslaving their own people.

Dat's nigeria 4 u, wit our stupid mentality. Hmmmm dnt mind dat human raper dat we call our president. Stuid set of pple.

Iaz93: Naija just carry this man for head.

the same way US carry am and the rest of the world

Cheap politics from advisers with very low intelligence!

You should realize that it is improper to play 'holier than thou'! Why not wait till SA do theirs before you start your own show?

And they have not apologized for the silly comment likening Jonathan to Mandela.

Another scene and episode from our theatre of the absurd!

Hm!

so what will he tell Abiola, abacha ? ....

tempestjr: Just wondering why there's a memorial service held for Mandela in Nigeria. He was not a Nigerian and this should have been done by the SA embassy. I believe we have misplaced priorities in this country. And it's not like our leaders have learnt anything from the man's life.

We have heard that he stole any of his nation's wealth, nor has houses all over the world etc.

Have we really learnt anything from the life he lived

E remain small make i curse you, but your last post change everything.

our priorities are so misplaced its unreal, how is this necessary ? look at those ones in asoebi eh! when did the man die when did they plan all this rubbish .
i'm 100% sure that there are renaming plans already on the way Nelson Mandela junction ,Nelson Mandela building, Nelson Mandela college of education for people with brains the size of a fruit fly.

i trust there will be a reception,more money and time wasted on something that wont be of benefit to anybody . i'm really tired of this country

miss.terious:
Madam president is just getting bigger

Na the 1billion Guchi rice and stew wey dey make am expand like balloon.

About 98% of the current african leaders do not deserve to honour mandela because they have all disappointed mandela.they have never lived up to his expectations.they have remained wicked,corrupt,power drunk,greedy,selfish and inconsiderate. African leaders including zuma should all be bounced and they should bow their heads all in shame.Mandela won't even be happy seeing all these thieves honour him.I trust nigerian contingent,maybe 1000 delegates.our past and present leaders in this continent have got no shame, see them eulogising mandela yet they had same opportunity as mandela but they preferred to impoverish and kill the masses.Shame on african leaders.for those leaders trying at all in africa well done but I know ther can never be another mandela not just in africa but the whole world,Rest in Peace Mandela!

A replication of this memorial is also going on @ Mandella's house here in Uyo.

We need viewers .

Mandela was an icon, a legend that the world will never forget in a hurry. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
