---------------------IF THE DIALOGUE APPEARS TOO LONG, READ THIS EXCERPT: IT'S A GOOD SYNOPSIS------------------------ "Your leaders have no respect for their people. They believe that their personal interests are the interests of the people. They take people's resources and turn it into personal wealth. There is a level of poverty in Nigeria that should be unacceptable. I cannot understand why Nigerians are not more angry than they are. ''Your elections are like wars. Now we hear that you cannot be president in Nigeria unless you are Muslim or Christian. Some people tell me your country may break up. Please don’t let it happen. "What do young Nigerians think about your leaders and their country and Africa? Do you teach them history? Do you have lessons on how your past leaders stood by us and gave us large amounts of money? You know I hear from Angolans and Mozambicans and Zimbabweans how your people opened their hearts and their homes to them. I was in prison then, but we know how your leaders punished western companies who supported Apartheid." I reminded him that we had elected governments since 1999, and he knew some of our leaders in person. Yes, he did. "But what about the corruption and the crimes?" he asked. ''Let me tell you what I think you need to do; You should encourage leaders to emerge who will not confuse public office with sources of making personal wealth. Corrupt people do not make good leaders. Then you have to spend a lot of your resources for education. Educate children of the poor, so that they can get out of poverty. Poverty does not breed confidence. Only confident people can bring changes. Poor, uneducated people can also bring change, but it will be hijacked by the educated and the wealthy." People had said to him that South Africa could become an alternative beacon of hope and inspiration for the black race and Africa. He told them it was always going to be Nigeria. The world will not respect Africa until Nigeria earns that respect. The black people of the world need Nigeria to be great as a source of pride and confidence. "So," he said to me, "If this audience has been useful, I am glad. But it will be more useful to me if you go back to Nigeria and work to give young Nigerians good education. Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people. '' 15 Likes |

Before we begin to blame our leaders, lets reexamine ourselves because our leaders still come from among us. If you still come to Nairaland to indulge in tribal warfare, then it is YOU Madiba is disappointed at. If you still cheat in the exam, and pass exam by sorting-it's a clear sign that you will cheat in election, and embezzle public funds. it is YOU that is painting us black let us as youths change our ways, embrace godly values and shun the get rich quick syndrome and collectively we will get to the promised land in our generation. After all history has shown us that evil does not pay and has a generational consequence 148 Likes |

It has been well said. I dont think any sensible person need to consult BABALAWO or ask GOOGLE to know that the level of corruption especially among our leaders is so much that one cant just imagine and also the decay in educational system is unimaginable too. No great nation in the world today achieve whatever they have without educating the young. They are the future and hope of any nation that wants to be great 2 Likes |

The same problem Mandela complained about Nigeria in 2007 in this interview is still happening presently. Nothing has changed instead it became worse. Too bad for a country like Nigeria. May God save us from the hands of our wicked leaders. |

Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people.' I think these points should be the basic solution to most of our problems as a nation. We need to change a lot of things in our system especially in education. God Bless Nigeria! 5 Likes |

Why codone corruption cos the man incharge is from your region? It's sickening! I think it's high time we started asking critical question, ethno-religious chauvinism won't do us any good.

Mandela made his point. But I am very very surprised there are fewer comments on here. Nigerians ! I wish it was APC or ... that made this comment. Let us as youths imbibe the culture of sound verbal , qualitative analytical reasoning ,devoid of ethnic , religion bigotry , tribal sentiment and nepotism. A word is enough for the wise. 7 Likes |

He said it all! To know that the Great Madiba felt this way about our country is a big Plus & also a big shame! Nigeria do not respect itself, yet there are people that look up to us! Although, Nigeria is the most blessed country with various untapped resources wasting away while the government only rely on embezzling the funds generated from the Petroleum Industry. Not forgetting great minds as well, but Greed & Heartlessness are major chronic diseases affecting the Country! Sincerely, Nigeria is a disgrace to the Black Race! Well Spoken, Great Madiba!!! 12 Likes

Well said Madiba. We keep loosing our value nation day and night because of some selfish politician, with all our resources we should be a lot better in social amenities, but corruption is everything in our society now, anytime you listen to news its about politics and corruption. Well i say one day one day Naija go better , he go better , he go better for all of us. |
