Small minds are now confused. Mandela is not a terrorist now. He is now someone who allowed white people to get away with things. The land that cannot see beyond selfish interest does not understand why the world appreciates this man.

Far beyond the level of small minds. South Africa and Nelson Mandela. Small minds have no story. Naomi Campbell and other black non-South Africans were also allowed to get away with things. Small minds have no history. Small minds have no country. Small minds have no consciousness.

Small minds. Small words. Small sentiments.

Far beyond the level of small minds. MInds that have produced no heroes and therefore, recognise nothing beyond the next "richest" oil oga.

They talk about unrecognised heroes. We talk about universal heroes. Worldwide. Far beyond the level of small people. They read the words, but the words make no sense to them. Common's pops said it: "True hip hop is just like the Underground Railroad. If the message is not for you It can sit on your nose and your brain remain froze." Nas said it: "Don't argue with a fool, for he'll scorn the wisdom of your words." I say it: small people sit with their brains "froze". They sit oppressed by their "oga mentality" and their inability to effect change in the land of their forefathers.

Msauza: The terrorist that even America respect and bow before him.

NELSON ROLIHLAHLA MANDELA, a stalwart a hero.

May the grace of God be with him in his sick bed.

Only the small man will deny what's in front of his eyes, mpitsh' yasedladleni. They look but they can't see. They never had a vision. Amandla!

They've never had a story maqabane. That's why they are stuck on race and they can't figure South Africa out. Sisuka kude nalendaba.

The small people with no story can only watch, point and stare. People with small heroes in the land in the west of the continent. They have no consciousness. Epileptic fits and unconsciousness. Their story is shaky.

They talk about pseudo heroes that are not acknowledged by the world. They have no story. They have nothing. A land of small people in the west of the continent of Africa. An empty land.

They have no knowledge of self. That's why they eat into each other. The empty nation consumes itself.

No story. They have no story. They have nothing. The empty nation looks at the people of the South and points. But the empty nation has nothing.

chris365: you really need to learn to cut a story short

of course if he were a Nigerian he wouldn't be given attention. we celebrate real intellectual icons. legends like Fela Kuti, Wole Soyinka, Achebe etc..

and heroes that died for our struggle for a democratic Nigeria.. heroes like MKO Abiola, ken Saro wiwa, Gani Fawehinmi etc.. we even respect Lucky Dube than that fraud you call hero

these men achieved without dropping one bomb or ordering killings. Mandela will definately be dead if he were in Nigeria cos i would have killed him myself for free

I see lips moving.But I see no story.The empty nation has no knowledge of self. That's why the empty nation consumes itself.

An empty nation with a loud voice. Tupac said it: "I was a fool with a big voice breaking all the rules". The empty nation can only stare and point at the people of the South . They'll never have a story.

A land of small people. They have nothing to point to.

If Mandela Were A Nigerian By Okey Ndibe

If Nelson Mandela were a Nigerian, he would never be treated in a hospital within his country. God forbid! At the slightest sign of ill health, he would be airlifted to a hospital in Germany, the UK, the US, France, or Saudi Arabia. Any Nigerian doctor who comes close to him – much less touches him – would immediately be arrested and charged with treason. An SSS interrogator would ask the hapless doctor, “You dey craze? So you wan kill de man?”

If Mr. Mandela were a Nigerian, not only would he be in a foreign hospital, he would commandeer an entire wing of the said hospital. No government official would ever give Nigerians updates on his progress or prognosis. Hell, no! In fact, the only statement the government would ever issue is to deny that the man is hospitalized. Some spokesman would insist that the old man went abroad on vacation, to get some well deserved rest. You see, Nigerian officials – from the president down to the municipal chairman – are fond of boasting that they’ve “totally transformed” Nigeria, this or that state, or this local government area or another. Yet the last thing these human transformers would ever do is take a vacation in the country they’ve ostensibly transformed!

If Mr. Mandela were a Nigerian, a league of pastors and imams would take to the press each day to tell us what “God” allegedly told them about the man’s condition. One pastor – or imam – would say God told him to warn Nigerians to pray interminably and fast furiously to ensure the ailing elder’s survival. Another would declaim that God confided in him that Mr. Mandela did not hearken to some divine instruction – and so was put on Saint Peter’s list of guests to expect at the pearly gates. Yet another imam – or pastor – would declare that a clique of witches and wizards had descended on the sick man, determined to doom him. If he’s to survive, he must personally contact the clairvoyant imam or pastor to receive special instructions on how to win the spiritual warfare.

Mr. Mandela is a man of comfortable means. He made a modest fortune from advances and royalties on books as well as earnings from his work as a widely sought, handsomely rewarded speaker on lecture circuits. He also received a Nobel Peace Prize that came with a handsome sum. In a word, he’s worked – and worked hard – for his money.

Now, if Mr. Mandela were a Nigerian, he would be considered a capital fool for working at all to earn money. To work hard would make him nothing less than a mumu, a Nigerian parlance that suggests somebody is a step or two worse than a fool. No, he would simply announce himself, Obasanjo- or Anenih-like, as a major “stakeholder.” And then, pronto, some currency tap would start gushing cash onto the deep pockets of his agbada. (Which reminds me: if Mr. Mandela were a Nigerian, he would not be permitted to sport those silly shirts he’s seen in. With those shirts, who’s going to be able to tell oga apart from his houseboys? He must exchange them for an endless line of lavishly embroidered agbada, accentuating his image as a human god).

If Mr. Mandela were a Nigerian, he would have enough cash stashed away in foreign vaults to make the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires. Heck, Nigerian civil servants who manage pension funds are billionaires! Yet – like most Nigerian billionaires – he would not be in a haste to alert the editors of Forbes to the size of his assets. Heh, it’s not worth the trouble; who wants to be playing hide-and-seek with armed robbers and kidnappers? He may not confide in Forbes, but a Nigerian Mandela would be the proud owner of numerous oil blocks. He would be entitled to a “security vote” that nets him, at least, a billion naira per month. He would own mansions in several European capitals and resort locations. He would own private jets, his own private army (otherwise known as thugs), a university or two, a private cathedral or mosque, controlling shares in several banks, and enough high-priced cars to run an automobile dealership.

Mr. Mandela is an enlightened man, a towering moral figure who commands respect around the world, a lawyer, author and reader. Yes, he has the stamina to put in the months and years it takes to write a book. And he is capable of staying still for hours or days to read book. If he were a Nigerian big man, he’d love to have a book or two to his name – but the content would be cliché-riddled speeches written by bored, ill-educated and often cynical amanuenses. As for reading a book, perish the thought! A friend of mine once told a joke about one of Nigeria’s illiterate moneymen. According to him, this mind-ravaged rich man laughed at people who, behind his back, whispered that he was unlettered. “I can read,” said the traduced businessman. “I only care to read the amount on my checks!” That’s what a Nigerian Mandela would learn to do.

If the legendary Mandela were a Nigerian, he would not be addressed simply as Mister. On Mandela’s first visit to Nigeria, he was awarded an honorary doctorate degree by – if my memory serves me – the University of Maiduguri. Since then, Nigerian newspapers and magazines as well as broadcast media have taken to addressing the global icon as “Dr.” Mandela. In the Nigerian media’s imagination, by bestowing the prefix “doctor” on Mandela, they have somehow enhanced the man’s standing in the world. What would the man be without this generous beneficence from Nigeria by way of Maiduguri?

It’s conventional wisdom in Nigeria that titles, however hollow, matter. In many quarters, the quality of a person’s mind is of no consequence. What matters is self-advertisement, buttressed shamelessly in the adornment of antiquated, silly honorifics. So we went from addressing people as Chief (which has no meaning, really) to calling them High Chief, Double Chief, or Double High Chief – terms that inspire embarrassment on behalf of those who flaunt them. If Mandela were Nigerian, he would be identified as Triple High Chief (Sir) Barrister Nelson Mandela, GCFR, Tigbuo Zogbuo 1 of Igboland, Aare Baba Dudu 1 of Yorubaland, Alhaji Magajin Biu 1 of Hausaland, etc, etc. He would be overfed, weaned off his sprite, sportsman’s physique. With his kind of figure – a flat belly and all – you can’t even aspire to become a local government councilor in Nigeria! Day and night, his staff and harem would ply him with pomo stew, cow leg pepper soup, pounded yam and egusi washed down with six bottles of lager per session – until he’s appropriately fattened.

If Mr. Mandela were a Nigerian, his claim to being a hero would be put to the ethnic test. Only members of his ethnic group would consider him an exemplary man. To others, he would be an object of ambivalent response: a hero today, a villain tomorrow, depending on what he’s said on what issue.

If Mr. Mandela were a Nigerian, he would never have spent more than one week in prison. Why, the traditional rulers from his district would have gone as a delegation to his jailers, apologized on his behalf for his unruly opposition to the apartheid machinery and pledged that they would ensure that he show appropriate respect to constituted authority. He would then be released – cameras clicking to capture the moment – to the “royal fathers,” guarantors of his docility, quiescence and submission to the powers-that-be.

If Mr. Mandela were a Nigerian, he would not be an ex-president, but a president-for-life. His kinsmen would have hired a dibia, babalawo or malam to cure his “madness” when he decided to step aside after only one term as president. A Nigerian Mandela would not be subject to any constitutional limits on presidential terms; the constitution would be subject to him. Any part of the constitution that runs counter to his whims and caprices would be instantly amended or – better still – ignored.

To make a short story long, if Mandela were a Nigerian, then the man and his stupendous moral capital would not exist!
