Mandela's Message To Nigeria....2007 by theTranscriber: 10:00pm On Jul 24, 2021 |
MANDELA'S MESSAGE TO NIGERIA.~2007 “YOU know I am not very happy with Nigeria. I have made that very clear on many occasions. Yes, Nigeria stood by us more than any nation, but you let yourselves down, and Africa and the black race very badly. 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. “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. “What about the corruption and the crimes? 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. “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...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.” (Excerpts taken from a 2007 interview with Mandela conducted by Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed). 4 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria is the symbol of oppression on the black race. It is the legacy of white supremacy, perpetual colonialism and enslavement of the black race. Any black man in the geographical space called Nigger area a.k.a Nigeria that thinks of himself free, have no business supporting the contraption. Freedom for Biafra Freedom for Alaigbo Freedom for Ibibio Nation Freedom for Ekoi Freedom for Efik Freedom for Oduduwa Freedom for even Afonjas suckling Fulani ***.... Freedom for all |

BKayy: Nigeria has been giving the perfect position to uplift the Black race and African people forget your ethnic stupidity under a federalist state you can have whatever border you want but we will still be one country, we will have Western ( Yoruba ) Mid Western ( Edo/Bini) Eastern ( Igbo, Anioma, Ubani etc. ) South Eastern ( Ijaw, Urhobo, Isoko, Ibibio) West Central ( Borgu, Nupe ) Central ( Igala ) East Central ( Jukun ) Northern ( Hausa, Kanuri, Fulani ) Obviously there will be other minorities but we cannot lie the system I have proposed there is likely the best for Nigeria to survive then the only other topic would be resource division and we are straight onto development hopefully without problem. 1 Like 1 Share |
