kokoA: I am sorry but must you act like a dumb given any slightest opportunity? Who is talking about GEJ and APC here?! We are talking about OUR COUNTRY not being given the right recognition she deserves considering her role in Mandela's success and you are here spewing trash! Its comments like this that annoys me on NL. @ bolded, the op doesn't see it that way, that's why he personalized the topic to read Jonathan, and you are no different from the op. We cannot be fooled, we know all of you, no matter how you try to paint it, reasonable fellows will always decipher what you re up to. Your useless propaganda once again has failed. 3 Likes |

Where did Nigeria get it long? I doubt if any country in Africa contributed like Nigeria did in the liberation of, not just South Africa, but also other countries in Southern Africa. -Murtala Muhammed supported the communist oriented liberation movement of MPLA against the capitalist UNITA and FNLA in Angola. -Nigeria is not geographically contiguous to Southern Africa but Olusegun Obasanjo was made leader of Eminent Peoples' Group. -Wole Soyinka dedicated his Nobel Laureate speech, "This Present Must Address Its Past" to the liberation of Nelson Mandela. -The FG named two halls of residence in OAU in 1976 after Angola and Mozambique. 2 Likes |

kokoA: Lybia is not the most populous black nation in the world. Nigeria paying tribute to mandela is like the whole black race appreciating him for what he did for our brothers in SA. Its more of a symbolic gesture than a mere speech. The organisers got it all wrong.Namibia did dat for black Africa. It is not on every occassion dat Nigeria must speak for Africa. |

taharqa: Even Nigeria was NOT snubbed anytin. One President per Continent was choosen by d Organisers to speak on d occasion on behalf of their Continent I suppose. The Namibian President spoke on behalf of Africa, Period. And even if we wanted to use 'who contributed most to d AntiApartheid movement', did Nigeria contribute more than Namibia or any other Southern African country for that mata?... For God's sake, why shld this even be an issue? And why am I even on such a sillly thread?? You see your life, after you people will say NIGERIA is the giant of Africa. Just to defend jona, you agree NAMIBIAN contribute more than NIGERIA to end Apartheid regime. Nigeria has done a lot for Africa and we deserve the respect in such occasion 2 Likes |

plaindealer: I understand your perspective from your post below. Its hard to disagree with the post. plaindealer: With all our sacrifices and support during and after apartheid, we did't get any official recognition and the ones getting it didn't do much or even supported apartheid in SA. |
Re: Jonathan Snubbed At Mandela's Memorial by donphilopus: 3:34pm On Dec 10, 2013 |
Why on earth would Namibian president speak on behalf of Africa?? If Mandela were to be a Nigerian, Jacob Zuma wouldn't have arrived Nigeria, before his name would be written among the people to speak. |

taharqa: OLODO. Where do you DUNCES even come from? Which Skol una good? Who teach una history? So Nigeria contributed to the dismantling of Apartheid (or, was directly affected by it) more than Zimbabwe (former Rhodesia), Zambia, Namibia (a country that even SA colonished till around 1990), Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique?? What NONSENSE I am reading on this thread?You can't hide your primitive nature, can you? I refuse to join issues with a sycophant like you. If you can tell me what the countries you mentioned above did better than Nigeria, tell me how much they contributed financially to the struggle, how many foreign businesses were nationalised to put pressure on the west then I will rest my case and call you "history master". You bloody sycophants care less about Nigeria, you are only interested in promoting GEJ. 4 Likes |

Why Brazil? are they not the same continent as USA? Truth is that it is to do with how a nation is respected and their influence on the world stage. Nigeria's influence in Africa has diminished since Abacha's death . taharqa: Even Nigeria was NOT snubbed anytin.

If Mandela were to be a Nigerian, Jacob Zuma wouldn't have arrived Nigeria, before his name would be written among the people to speak.Wot is ur problem wit a speech? Finding fault in d minutest of details ain't good. I can't believe dat u ar bickering ova a memorial service. I don't care about who spoke at d memorial. I'm more concerned about d legacy he left behind and which we should all strive to emulate. |

king94: Namibia did dat for black Africa. It is not on every occassion dat Nigeria must speak for Africa.I agree with you, but not on an occasion like this. Nigeria contributed a lot to the liberation of SA. It cost Murtala Muhammed his life. It took the West many years before they could take the life of Muammar Gaddafi who also was instrumental. Or do you think Jacob Zuma was foolish when he said would grant asylum to Gaddafi if he demanded it? 1 Like |

whether we're regarded or not, it won't add any kobo to our GDP... as a Nigerian, all I'm concerned about now is economic growth and development... Nigeria is thick and would overtake many economies in years to come.. Let's direct our hope towards that. By then, the respect will surface from every nook and cranny of the earth.. I'm bet GEJ feels the same way 2 Likes |

Was the programme of events printed today ? All those who gave speeches knew long before hand that they would speak today and had their speech writers churn out something for them to say today.. |

Taharqa, you don't know anything about liberation movements in Africa if you do, you won't say Namibia whose President delivered a speech on behalf Africa, contributed more. The South-West People's Liberation Movement (SWAPO) who leader, Sam Nuyoma led his country (then known as South West Africa) to independence got support from Nigeria. 1 Like |
