No worries, i get your point. Well, for a certain fact i know Jonathan and Tinubu would probably never take selfies(they used government money for personal wealth and play politics, no time to learn selfies). But yea, when my nan passed away recently, she's not a political celebrity, there was an impressive turnout at her funeral but i didn't mind when people took pictures and enjoyed themselves, there was even a little house party held. She was 99. I celebrated her for the life she lived, the changes and goodwill she passed across to other people not for her death. If he was a youth like Paul Walker and has left quite some legacies, I'll criticize them because it'll be inappropriate. But c'mon, he died after fighting for a good cause at a considerable age, he's not some full-of-life youth that will incline everyone to be overly sober. I love madiba so much. I watched the funeral live as well, they were sober, at least they didn't release some crocodile tears. Yes he fought for our freedom, and after he left prison, he got the good treatment he deserved as the first black president of South Africa and even after retiring, still lived the life of a celebrity. They didn't disrespect him by taking a couple of selfies.

Popowaa: Some jobless ppl and their way of thinking.Reading meanings into meaningless things.Does talking to someone and smiling with them means u are flirting?Mitchweeee

eledalo:

I hope you have the same response when people come to your fathers memorial service and start snapping selfies. Dont you have respect for others? Dont you have respect for the great man who died? Dont you even have self respect?If Jonathan or Tinubu were at Mandelas funeral snapping pics of themselves would this be your response? Apologies for coming across harsh, but come on!

I don't understand dis post. In Africa, The death of a 95yrs old person is no longer mourning buh a CELEBRATION OF LIFE. We dance,take pics, sing, wear white, praise & eulogize d life of d dead.Abi is it until d person is completely blind,deft,dumb,suffering & unable 2 breath independently b4 dey died dat people can take pishur. *All dis fake life sef 70% of peeps there don't even care*

Help me tell them! Hypocrisy at its peak!!!

Billyonaire: Obama scored so low on this, for Mandela's sake, why all that snapping and hugging at a funeral? I am disappointed.

Of course, American slaves on nairaland will chastise me, after all everything and anything Obama does is "heroic", "symbolic", "cool", and even "hip".

Its a fat shame.

otipoju: If I die at over 90 years, anybody that dares squeze face at my funeral deserves a knock on the head from Old Roger.
