Nelson Mandela wrote a will on a single sheet of A4 paper in which he asked to be buried on a remote hillside in his ancestral home of Qunu, it has emerged.

The former South African president, 94, remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital in Pretoria where he has spent the last 21 days being treated for a lung infection. In January 1996, while still serving as president, Mr Mandela reportedly drew up a rudimentary will in which he asked for a simple burial close to the village where he grew up on the Eastern cape.

He said that while he would be happy with a state memorial service in Pretoria he wanted to buried in the family plot with just a simple headstone to mark the site of his grave.

The South African Mail and Guardian reported a long-standing family friend as saying: ‘He never gave death a great deal of thought, but he never wanted anything fancy’.

Despite the fact that sales of Mr Mandela’s book Long Walk To Freedom, and artworks bearing his name, had earned him millions in royalties his will was reportedly presented on a single sheet of A4 paper.

According to South Africa’s national broadcaster SABC, the question of Mr Mandela’s final resting place has this week sparked a bitter family feud. Mr Mandela’s oldest daughter, Makaziwe, and 15 other family members have pressed a court application to get Mr Mandela’s grandson to return the bodies of three of Mr Mandela’s children to their original graves in Qunu.

The grandson, Mandla Mandela, acknowledges having reburied the three bodies 13 miles away in the Mvezo village, where he plans to create a Mandela shrine, hotel and football stadium. Mandla Mandela has until tomorrow to respond to the court filing, reports said.

Nelson Mandela built his retirement home in Qunu and was living there until his repeated hospital stays which started at the end of last year. The anti-apartheid leader attended the burial of his son at the family plot in Qunu in 2005, and it was widely expected that the leader himself will be buried there.

But his grandson exhumed the bodies of Mr Mandela’s three children and moved them to nearby Mvezo, which is the former president’s birthplace and the grandson holds authority as chief. Eldest daughter Makaziwe and other Mandela family members want the family bodies returned to their original graves in Qunu, according to the reports. Today U.S.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are due to meet with family members but they will not visit Mr Mandela in hospital. ‘Out of deference to Nelson Mandela’s peace and comfort and the family’s wishes, they will not be visiting the hospital,’ the White House added in a statement.

Yesterday Mr Mandela ex-wife said his condition had improved. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela told reporters: ‘I’m not a doctor but I can say that from what he was a few days ago there is great improvement’.

Ms Madikizela-Mandela pleaded with the media to ‘understand the sensitivities and the feeling of the family’

PhysicsQED: Some aspects of the engraving would be accurate, but the image isn't based on firsthand observation, but instead is the work of an artist employed by a person named Van Meurs, the publisher of Olfert Dapper's 1668 book, Description of Africa. The artist who did the engravings for Dapper's book didn't see Benin (or anywhere else in Africa) himself, but instead constructed an image based on the detailed descriptions given in Dapper's book.

However, despite this, we know that certain aspects of the depiction are more or less accurate from other sources. These are:

- The use of dwarfs in certain ceremonies

- The use of leopards in certain ceremonies

- The clothing the men near the soldiers and the king are wearing seems to similar to what Edo people in old photographs wore. People in Benin did wear clothing (wrappers) which looked close enough to what is depicted in that image. But for a more accurate depiction of their clothing, one should look at the Benin art and the surviving old photographs from the 19th century.

- The size of the capital. Although quite vague in the image, the artist is clearly implying that the city is large based on the numerous buildings in the background that eventually fade out as one goes further away from the buildings and the procession that are in the foreground. Written and archaeological evidence supports the idea of the capital being quite large so that would be an accurate aspect of the depiction.

- The cast brass bird figures on top of several important houses (this is confirmed by written evidence from other sources, and also by the fragments of those bird figures that survive)

- The height of the pyramidal shaped parts of the palace and other important houses where the birds are placed seem to be only a little smaller (if one takes the height of the pyramidal structures that is implied in the picture to be about 2 stories high) than the height suggested by an eyewitness description (about 3 or 4 stories high). A certain lieutenant John King, a British navy officer who visited Benin sometime between 1815 and 1821 made certain observations which confirm some aspects of the drawing:

"The houses of distinguished personages are very pretty and elegant; the inner walls are covered with mats, and round the court there is a divan raised about eighteen inches above the level of the ground. Mats and woollen [sic] stuffs of home make are spread on the divan and ground. The walls of the palace are well preserved, In one of the facades at which Lieut. King entered there were three doors, of which the chief was in the middle; on each side were rows of eight or ten elephant tusks curiously carved, the points turned towards the wall. During the last insurrection the king was killed and a large portion of the palace was burnt down, but enough remains to bear witness to its former splendour. Down the centre of the facade rises a pyramid about thirty to forty feet high, on the top of which there was fixed a copper serpent whose head reached to the ground and whose body was as thick as that of a man. The inhabitants of Benin have no idea of the lapse of time, but say that this serpent has been there for several centuries. Two apartments which Lieut. King saw, and of which one was the audience chamber of the king, had been spared by the fire; the ceilings were flat and the beams which crossed them were covered with various designs." It will be observed that King speaks of a pyramid, and in so far his description of these buildings agrees with that of Dapper, who, however, called them turrets." - H. Ling Roth, Great Benin (1903), pp. 164-165

So these "pyramids" (pyramidal shaped structures) were still seen on the palace as late as the early 19th century. The "insurrection" referred to there in Roth's book is almost certainly the conflict between prince Ogbebor and prince Erediauwa in the early 19th century. They were the two eldest sons of Oba Obanosa, but there was no real agreement on who was really older since they were born within a very short time of one another. Initially, prince Ogbebor won out, and prince Erediauwa, whose mother was from the Esan area, had to run to the Esan area for safety, but he eventually won over the support of the Esan rulers there, then built up an army, and eventually defeated his half brother's forces and took the capital city. He then established himself as king Osemwende. However, before this, prince Ogbebor would not allow himself to be captured and executed when he realized he had lost, so he had the palace destroyed and killed himself as well before his half brother's forces closed in on him.


Some things that probably are not accurate in the picture:

- The absence of the brass snakes running down the roofs of certain important buildings. Some of the heads of these snakes and parts of their bodies still survive and are kept in museums today, and also the snakes are attested to have been there in eyewitness accounts. However the possibility does exist that at the time that the people that Dapper got his information from visited, the snakes had not yet been put on the roofs, and only the birds were there.

- The exact appearance of the buildings was probably somewhat different than the ones in the foreground in the engraving. There may or may not have been certain buildings that looked much like those in the 17th century, but the few surviving images of buildings from the late 19th century have a somewhat different appearance, where the horizontal line fluting on the walls of certain buildings is clearly visible, unlike in this engraving.

- The form of the procession in that ceremony: the musicians, the men with the leopards, the dwarves, and the other men who seem to be singing the king's praises might not have been so close to the king in real life (in the engraving it looks almost like they are crowding him).

- The exact appearance of the soldiers or noblemen. The artist left the noblemen/soldiers more in the background, most likely because he wasn't that sure of exactly what they dressed like (even despite some of the details given in Dapper's description). For a better idea of what the soldiers actually dressed like, one can consult the numerous artworks from Benin that depict military figures. The king and the most important members of his court did ride horses during warfare and during ceremonial processions, but it's also not clear (at least to me, perhaps other people do know though) if they carried lances during ceremonies (like the picture suggests).

- The attire of the king. I'm not sure what the material the king is wearing in the image is supposed to be, and I'm not sure whether he is wearing any coral beads or not, but it would probably be better to just rely on the surviving artwork to figure out what the kings dressed like during processions, since the art depicts the kings in ceremonial attire quite often when the kings are depicted. There are different attires for the kings in the art, so obviously there was not one permanent attire for every single king over the centuries, but I haven't seen anything so far that exactly matches the style depicted in the engraving in Dapper's book.


A good book which has a bit of analysis of the accuracy of some of the drawings and descriptions of Benin (among other things) is the book A popular history of Benin (2003) by Peter M. Roese and Dmitri M. Bondarenko. I remember coming across some errors in that book when I read it a few years ago, but I think there are few serious errors, and on the whole, I think it's very informative and well researched.

[quote author=Mr.Bow]To make wealth is an achievement; the way it is spent is style. In most cases, successful individuals who have created wealth through wise and diligent investments in business hardly squander their money. They usually prefer to reinvest their capital, including the accrued profit over the years, into their businesses to increase their asset base and level of affluence.

The tendency, therefore, is that the richer they are, the more their business interests expand. In line with this corporate tradition, the rich investors get richer and, when they spend, they do so in a big way worthy of mention. This is because of the extensive attention attracted by their rare wherewithal and will to spend, including doling out money on humanitarian grounds. Among Nigeria’s privileged people are:



Aliko Dangote

Nigerian business tycoon Aliko Dangote is the richest man in Africa. He is the founder, Dangote Group, West Africa’s largest publicly listed conglomerate with diverse business interests such as sugar refining, flour milling, textiles, real estate and salt processing. Dangote Cement, Dangote Foods (noodles) and Dansa Juice complete the chain. His total net worth is about $16.1 as at March 2013.

Dangote spends money in philanthropic activities. He has stepped up his philanthropy in recent years, giving over $100 million to causes ranging from education and health through flood relief, poverty alleviation to the arts. He acquired a private jet in April 2010 as a personal gift on the occasion of his 53rd birthday. The Bombardier Global Jet Express XRS (one out of a few) was estimated to cost $45 million. Dangote is also said to have purchased a private luxury yatch at the cost of $43 million made exclusively for his enjoyment. The yatch is named Mariya after his mother.



Mike Adenuga

Otunba Mike Adenuga built his fortune in business from banking, mobile telecom service and oil. He founded Globacom, now Nigeria’s second largest mobile phone network, in 2006. Globacom has more than 24 million subscribers in Nigeria, and also operates in the Republic of Benin. Adenuga made his first fortune at the young age of 26 in the 1970s by distributing lace and other materials. He later had another opportunity to expand his fortune during the military regime of Ibrahim Babangida when he was awarded a contract for the construction of military barracks in some military installations in the country. He is presently worth $4.7 billion, thus justifying him as one of Nigeria’s super-rich businessmen.

Adenuga is a philanthropist who spends a lot of money on selfless activities aimed at bringing succour and assistance to less-privileged people. Adenuga also takes his philanthropic goodwill to the area of sports development in Nigeria and Africa through his selfless investments in sports. His demonstration of philanthropic largesse cuts across sponsorship of Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) and the Super Eagles. This was one of the points highlighted by President Goodluck Jonathan at his (Adenuga’s) 60th birthday. “You are celebrating 60 years of a remarkable life filled with monumental achievements in high entrepreneurship, philanthropy and dedicated service to God and country,” the president said.

Similarly, the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Mr Issah Hayatou, used the occasion of Adenuga’s birthday celebration to appreciate his contributions to the society. He recognised that Adenuga had not only affected Africa positively through his accomplishments in business but has also been the pillar of sports on the continent.

Adenuga loves spending money on what gives him joy. It could be said that, partly for this reason, he acquired a private Bombardier Global Express jet, fitted with the latest flight facilities. It is one of the most luxuriously built private jets in the world, just like that of Dangote.



Jim Ovia

Jim Ovia started building his fortunes when he founded Zenith Bank Group in 1990. The bank has grown to become West Africa’s second largest financial service provider by market capitalisation and asset base. His sources of wealth are banking, telecommunication and real estate investment.

He also owns Quantum Luxury Properties Limited, a private equity fund with special focus on Africa. Ovia’s total net worth is about $825 million.

He has embarked on the establishment of a free, co-educational high school, James Hope College, in Delta State, the place where he pondered his future as a young man. The school, an 18-month project, launches in September with an initial capacity for 420 students. He is also the founder of Mankind United To Support Total Education (MUSTE), an organisation providing scholarships for the underprivileged.



Abdussamad Rabiu

Lagos-based business tycoon Abdulsamad Rabiu is a son of Khalifa Isiyaku Rabiu, one of Nigeria’s most successful businessmen in the 1970s. Little wonder therefore that he followed in his father’s footsteps in business with interest in importing basic commodities such as rice, sugar and cement in the 1980s.

Abdussamad heads the BUA Group, a conglomerate with $1.9 billion in revenues and interests in sugar refining, vegetable oil processing and flour mills. The BUA Group also operates the BUA Cement, Nigeria’s first floating cement terminal, as well as Nigerian Oil Mill which processes edible oil. According to Forbes magazine report, he is the 21st richest African and is worth $675 million.



Folorunsho Alakija

Billionaire oil tycoon, fashion designer and philanthropist, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija is worth at least $3.3 billion against a recent Forbes’ rating which quoted her net worth as $600 million. She began her professional career in the 1970s as secretary of defunct International Merchant Bank of Nigeria, one of the country’s earliest investment banks.

In the early 1980s when banking was seen as one of the most lucrative jobs, she took a bold step towards realisation of her personal dreams by quitting her job in the bank to study Fashion Design in England. She returned to Nigeria a few years later to establish Supreme Stitches, a high-profile fashion firm which provides special services to exclusive clientele. She also founded Rose of Sharon Foundation, a charity organisation.

This fashion design business led her into fortune. She was in a position to make and sell high-level clothing to the fashionable wives of some military big shots and other society women.

In May 1993, Mrs Alakija set out for oil business. It was then she applied for an allocation of oil prospecting licence (OPL) to explore 617,000-acre block granted to her company, Famfa Oil Limited. However, at that time, she had no experience in oil exploration — she was just a new entrant in the business.

Also, Mrs Alakija is widely reported to own a private jet, Bombardier Global Express 6000 which cost about $46 million, added to acquisition of a property at Hyde Park. This is one of the ways she spends her wealth, which gives her happiness. Furthermore, she is a philanthropist who derives joy in giving assistance to widows and other less-privileged in society.



Tony Elumelu

Mr Tony Elumelu (CON) was born in Jos on March 22, 1963. He is a renowned economist, banker, investor and generous philanthropist. Elumelu is a recognised African leader in corporate business. After leading United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc to a higher level with the acquisition of Standard Trust Bank (STB) during the consolidation of the banking industry in 2005, he retired from the management of UBA in July 2010.

On establishment of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, he stated the foundation’s objective as to “prove that the African private sector can itself be primary generator of economic development”. Among the roles of the foundation are deployment of resources to generate reliable solutions to the business constraints that derail and clog the growth of business in the private sector in Africa.

Moreover, Elumelu ploughs a lot of resources in philanthropic activities. Apart from the Tony Elumelu Foundation, he was also a member of the World Economic Forum’s Regional Agenda Council on Africa. He is also part of the Bretton Woods Committee which brings leaders in the global banking industry together. Voluntary development of human capital is one of the cherished interests where Elumelu spends his wealth. He also partners with the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative (AGI) with high focus on strengthening the role of the private sector in economic transformation policies of some African countries. This partnership is named Blair-Elumelu Fellowship Programme.

Elumelu, the originator of the concept of Africapitalism as an economic philosophy that reflects the commitment of players in the private sector towards the economic transformation of Africa through long-term investment, is a consummate patriot with a full-blown obsession for how he can make his country and continent a better part of the world.

Interest in paying family hospital bills, unpaid school fees, providing for families who cannot provide their needs — all form part of what Elumelu does through his catalytic philanthropic method of assisting human beings within the shores of Nigeria and Africa.



Hajiya Bola Shagaya

Hajiya Bola Shagaya is hailed as one of Nigeria’s richest businesswomen. She is the CEO of Bolmus International Limited. She has interests in several sectors ranging from oil and gas, banking, cash crops export, real estate, fast-moving consumer goods and photography.

She has been a very influential figure in Nigeria’s corridors of power for decades and has excelled in a society where the role of women has been restricted traditionally. Her rise to affluence and power is not attributed to parental or marital influence. This woman of means has skilfully built her network and wealth from a humble background, and has proven herself as an outstanding power broker with impressive entrepreneurial skills.

In the manner of an astute entrepreneur, she saw opportunities in the populous image-conscious Nigerian market, prompting the expansion of her Konica marketing operations to photo laboratory services; that was the birth of another of her companies – Fotofair (Nigeria) Limited. Today, Fotofair is a leading photo laboratory company in Nigeria with over 30 laboratories spread across the nation.

Hajiya, as she is fondly called, has impressively carved her path in the sixth-largest oil producer’s oil and gas sector. As far back as the late 1980s, during the Gen. Ibrahim Babangida-led military administration, she had steered her oil and gas company through the highly connected and contested Nigerian oil and gas sector to secure allocations for oil blocks. Thus began her reign as an indigenous oil marketer.

Around 2005, she became the managing director of Practoil Limited and, in 2011, she founded another exploration company, Voyage Oil and Gas Limited.

Shagaya, who is of Yoruba extraction, a tribe distinguished as party enthusiasts of the over 200 tribes in Nigeria, often attends the biggest social events dressed in “anko” with Nigeria’s first ladies — a local practice of Nigerian women indicating bosom friendship by wearing the same traditional attire especially to social functions.

The one-time patron of the Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria (FADAN) is a collector and retailer of the finest and most exquisite jewelleries from different fashion capitals of the world. “I love fashion, artworks and beautification endeavours,” she said.

The graceful billionaire is not all about heavy-weight work. “I’m also a lover of sports, especially Polo”, she said. She has consistently supported Polo tournaments in Nigeria over the years.



Femi Otedola

Femi Otedola is the CEO of African Petroleum Plc. He was one of only two Nigerians (alongside Aliko Dangote) to appear on the 2009 Forbes list of 793 dollar-denominated billionaires in the world, with an estimated net worth of over US$1.2 billion. Femi Otedola is the Nigerian president and chief executive officer of Zenon Petroleum and Gas limited.

Forbes magazine estimates Femi Otedola’s net worth at $1.2 billion and ranks him as the 601st richest person in the world. According to Encomium magazine, Femi Otedola’s net worth is $3.5 billion.

He owns a private jet called Challenger Global 5000 and a yatch almost similar to Dangote’s named Nana after his wife.



Emeka Offor

Sir Emeka Offor, as he is often addressed rarely grants interviews, rather, he prefers his works, businesses and philanthropy to speak for him.

His multi-million business interest, Chrome Group, is a multifaceted organisation which originally started as an engineering outfit handling projects such as refinery maintenance, has today become by the grace of God, a conglomerate with diverse interests in Oil and Gas, Finance/Investments, Telecommunications, Insurance, Maritime, Destination Inspection, Real Estate and the Power Sector.

He once said in a newspaper interview that he is a son of a policeman, born in Kafanchan in Kaduna State. Offor is a goal-getter and founder of Sir Emeka Offor Foundation, a platform through which he doles out millions of naira for philanthropic purposes.
