www.nairaland.com/1550143/nelson-mandela-10-surprising-facts#20123554

He was loved and admired the world over, profiled in books and movies, and showered with awards and accolades. But even the most public of personalities have little-known facts buried in their biographies.
Here are 10 surprising facts you probably didn't know about Nelson Mandela:
1.He lived up to his name: Mandela's birth name was Rolihlahla. In his Xhosa tribe, the name means pulling the branch of a tree or troublemaker. (The name "Nelson" was given to him by his teacher on his first day of elementary school. It's not clear why she chose that particular name. It was the 1920s, and African children were given English names so colonial masters could pronounce them easily).
2. He had a cameo is Spike Lee film: He had a big part in Spike Lee's 1992 biopic "Malcolm X." At. the very end of the movie, he plays a teacher reciting Malcolm X's famous speech to a room full of Soweto school kids. But the pacifist Mandela wouldn't say "by any means necessary." So Lee cut back to footage of Malcolm X to close out the film.
3. There's a woodpecker neamed after him: From Cape Town to California, streets named after Mandela abound. But he's also been the subject of some rather unusual tributes. Last year, scientists named a prehistoric woodpecker after him: Australopicus nelsonmandelai. In 1973, the physics institute at Leeds University named a nuclear particle the 'Mandela particle.'
4. He married a first lady: Before tying the knot with Mandela on his 80th birthday, Graca Machel was married to Mozambique President Samora Machel. Her marriage to Mandela after her husband's death means she has been the first lady of two nations.
5. He was a master of disguise: When Mandela was eluding authorities during his fight against apartheid,he disguised himself in various ways, including as a chauffeur. The press nicknamed him "the Black Pimpernel" because of his police evasion tactics. "I became a creature of the night. I would keep to my hideout during the day, and would emerge to do my work when it became dark," he says in his biography,"Long Walk to Freedom."
6. A bloody sport intrigued him: Besides politics, Mandela's other passion was boxing. "I did not like the violence of boxing. I was more interested in the science of it - how you move your body to protect yourself, how you use a plan to attack and retreat, and how you pace yourself through a fight," he says in his biography.
7. His favorite dish is probably not yours: He's been wined and dined by world leaders. But what Mandela loved eating most was tripe. Yup, the stomach lining of farm animals.
8. He quit his day job:He studied law at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and opened the nation's first black law firm in the city in 1952.
9. He was on the U.S terror watch list: Mandela wasn't removed from the U.S. terror watch list until 2008 -- at age 89. He and other members of the African National Congress were placed on it because of their militant fight against apartheid.
10. He drew his inspiration from a poem: While he was in prison, Mandela would read William Ernest Henley's "Invictus" to fellow prisoners. The poem, about never giving up, resonated with Mandela for its lines "I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." You may know it from the movie by the same name starring Morgan Freeman as Mandela.

macjive01: Abeg go sit down, who doesnt smoke weed nowadays?

Me and my family don't smoke at all,so you're wrong on this.

macjive01: And for ur information , it doesnt make anyone go mad with moderation.

And how many percentage of the smokers population know how to control it?
Many of them still end up messing up their life,what is worth doing is worth doing well,what is not worth doing is not worth doing at all.
Cheers.

It would do you more good to change your friends and start making good ones.
You have an above average command of the English language and write well,i don't know why you wanna derail your life by smoking weeds?what if you run mad out of addiction?"Na yaba left case be dat o"
Please,think of the future and start making good use of your life,May God help you.
Goodluck man.

dr_mike_adams: Amosun great guy?that guy na joker..his mates in owerri gives scholarship while him & saburi thinks Oou school fees is enuf for him to campaign for re election,..amosun is wicked..

Do you care to explain what's happening in OOU?
I'm lost on the allegations you're pointing at the governor,do you care to explain?

I'm just seeing this topic.
I would vote for him to complete his projects because the entrance of a new administration will cancel all the ongoing projects.
My only flaw of him based on educational aspect is that he hasn't paid our Bursary....i mean university students.
Overall,he's a great guy.
#IMHO

Nassarawa United

You would do well as a writer or columnist.
i really feel sad for the indigenes of Borno.

IMO,if moyes doesn't start welbeck,valencia,cleverley....we'll WIN
But if he does,we should lose for all i care.
My strating line up will be.
De gea
Smalling. Evans. Vidic. Evra
Nani. Tractor fellaini. Jones. Januzaj
Kagawa. Rooney
But if RVP is available,kagawa should replace tractor fellaini position,and rooney supports RVP.
i really hope we win sha.
GGMU.....it will be full of goals.
4-2 in favour of man utd.

segcy.moor:
@Numero uuuno, I hope you understand the meaning of your statement. Are you accusing me of using double username ,of trying to hide behind.
Anyway, I think you need to confirm that from moderator. I dont know anyone using gtrust either. Please speak direct to anyone concern and NEVER drag my name!

Hello,don't be too harsh on yourself,i only spoke something that was so evident.i.e my opinion.
If you received it in bad faith,then I'm SORRY.
i haven't said anything wrong about you or who you are or what you do nor have i dragged your name to the mud because as a matter of fact,i don't know you.
It was so plain gtrust was derailing the thread with his 'witty adverts' for you on a thread that's meant for something else,and i believed i made my point.
Cheers.

Is gtrust also the person behind the segcy.moor username?
Why are you using someone's misfortune to advertise yourself.
The client is unhappy with his contractor and you(gtrust) is stylishly advertising segcy.moor.
i don't know segcy.moor either good or bad,but if you wanna give some appraisal please open another thread for that and let this thread be.
i really hope Brabus settles his client cos the man has spent a lot going by the pics supplied.
He deserves a lot better than this.
Finally,Good luck to all honest builders,i know everyone isn't bad.
