Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela was on life support in a Pretoria hospital late Wednesday, said an official who had been briefed in detail on his condition.

Considered the founding father of South Africa's democracy, Mandela, 94, has been hospitalized since June 8 for a recurring lung infection.

Authorities have described his condition as critical since Sunday, and President Jacob Zuma said earlier Wednesday that Mandela's condition remained unchanged, South Africa's national news agency reported.

In a statement issued late Tuesday, the government said Mandela's doctors "continue to do their best to ensure his recovery, well-being and comfort."

As the nation remained on edge, police barricaded the street leading to the hospital's main entrance. Well-wishers hung balloons, stuffed animals and messages of support along the wall outside his Pretoria hospital.
Crowds hovering nearby sang "Where is Mandela?"
"We need you!," one sign read. "We love you tata, get well soon!" said another, referring to Mandela by the Xhosa word for father. Someone else left a stone upon which was written, "Sending you light and love."

Several members of the family came out to collect some of those items Wednesday.
"He's going to feel a lot better when he sees these signs," said David Manaway, Mandela's grandson-in-law.

Why Mandela has six names Mandela's former physician and the nation's ex-surgeon general, Dr. Vejay Ramlakan, also visited the hospital Wednesday, said the national news agency, South African Press Association.

Mandela became an international figure while enduring 27 years in prison for fighting against apartheid, the country's system of racial segregation. He was elected the nation's first black president in 1994, four years after he was freed.

Talenty: BECAUSE the applications run on the phone's memory. So the many applications you have uses the phone's ram. That's why when you partition your SD the phone recognizes the 2nd partition as an internal memory, thereby eliminating the low memory problem.

ayenny02: LOOK AT THIS LIAR, from where did you see those names in paradise, pls provide the proof and let me see before I can proceed in my comment

tosin2013: I don't think its worth it trying to explain to these clowns!
This thread was created for the pupose of trolling!

No matter aw much u keep explaining they keep twisting and turning facts!

Dis ones don't ask for sake of understanding islamic principles they do so for ridicule. Really pathetic.

babe_online: The Igbo girls are no better. But I agree. She should have given the baby up for legal adoption which Igbo girls dont do.

redsun: It should only make you laugh.Just picture the kind of btches that just hate other people for the sake of hate,how ignorant they are. What is making them hate?Are they ugly?barren?frustrated? or deformed?.

deols: that is never justified.

Killing anybody is a great sin. Killing a Muslim is graver.

The killers themselves need guidance.

agoha_vivi: Places like ikotun, ejigbo, agege, ipaja, igando, alagbado etc are all under the jurisdition of Lagos state but they only realise that they belong to Lagos state during elections. The state of their roads are so deplorable not to mention the power supply, health care, etc.

Lekki/ajah and surulere experienced a bit of improvement in their road in recent times. Aside surulere, the road reconstruction at lekki/ajah was renovated at the expence of her residents with the use of toll plazas. The mobil house end of the lekki/epe way was shifted to accomodate the oriental hotel as well as ensure that the toll gate was located after the hotel which tinubu had bulk interest. This is not surprising considering the way fash/tinubu run the stae like their bedroom. The expressway was completely fenced off thereby suffocating a lot of viable businesses and sending droves back to the labour market. Recently a link bridge was constructed with tax payers fund yet it was tolled to an amount double what is demanded at the admiralty plaza.

Presently, all forms of taxation can be experienced in Lagos state the lastest which is merriment tax. Residents of Lagos have cried out as a result of multiple taxation but the governor made it clear that those who can't afford to reside in Lagos should return to their villages.

On Monday and Tuesday last week all markets in Lagos were closed down simply because the mother of tinubu died. No disrespect for the dead but I don't really know what meaningful contribution this woman has made to Lagos. Those in the business of perishable items lost heavily as a result of this.

In delta state medical healthcare is free for pregnant mothers and children under five years. Women who even undergo ceaserean section delivery don't pay a kobo but in Lagos we pay for everything aside the air we breath.

Take time to visit public schools in Lagos and you'll weep. Lasu the state university is as expensive as the privately owned univerities we have around.

Seriously, it's surprising that the ACN led goverment is guilty of all these whereas they they'll sieze the slightest opportunity to paint PDP black. In my own judgement both parties are evil but ACN definitely isn't the lesser of these two evils. Waiting for the likes of eko ile, eko atlantic and co.

deSika: pls dont forget me o. i hope i didnt come late. thank you

The military operations in Borno state to flush out Boko Haram terrorists from the area has forced about 1,500 refugees into the northern part of Cameroon, Nigeria’s ambassador to Cameroun has said.

Since the operations of the Joint Task Force (JTF) began following the declaring of State of Emergency in the three northern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe by President Goodluck Jonathan in May.

The President had explained that the security situation in those states called for the action.
The president had said the insurgents and terrorists in those areas prevented the government from fulfilling its duties.

Speaking with Journalists who are on presidential delegation to the summit on Regional Security in Yaounde, Cameroun, the Nigerian Ambassador to Cameroon, Ambassador Hadiza Mustapha said the figure which has been confirmed by the United Nations High commission for Refugees and is no where near the 3000 reported by the media.

The summit of Heads of States and Governments of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Gulf of Guinea Commission (GGC), kicks off today, with a focus on maritime safety and security in the Gulf of Guinea.

According to the ambassador, the bilateral cooperation between Nigeria and Cameroun in the areas of security has tremendously checked the activities of Boko Haram terrorists.

According to the Envoy, the Cameroonian government has granted the refugees unlimited stay until the situation normalise in their states back home.

Mustapha said, “there is a saying that you cannot choose your neighbours but you share both the good and the bad with your neighbours. It is true that we have seen not only with the Boko Haram insurgency but with the declaration of State of Emergency, a few refugees who have come into the Cameroon.

This is what happens, as long as you cannot choose your neigbour but you can choose how you live with your neigbour,that is why peace is very important. And since I have been here 10 months and since we put the Bakassi issue behind us, there has been a lot of improvement in our relationship. And with that improvement and with that peace, a lot of cooperation is now possible.
