What Nelson Mandela said to Nigerians in 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...?

“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.”

PassingShot:
I have read a lot of people saying "no to Muslim-Muslim ticket" even before Asiwaju emerged. Now that he has emerged as the standard bearer of APC with Atiku as the major challenge to him, I wonder why a Muslim-Muslim ticket of Tinubu presidency is not better than a return of the presidency to north possibly for another eight years after 8 years of PMB.

Like or loathe APC, it has demonstrated being a truly progressive party by standing with a return of the presidency to the South even after Atiku had emerged as PDP's candidate. PDP damned everything common sense by making Atiku emerge with possibility of keeping the presidency in the north and a lot of people seem not to care because PDP is doing what they need to do to win the election without considering fairness and equity.

I am strongly convinced that when the time comes, majority of voters will side with an APC' Muslim-Muslim ticket which returns presidency to the south and reject a Muslim-Christian ticket which keeps the presidency to the north for another eight years to make it 16 straight years of Northern dominance.

Take it from me.
Even with Muslim/Muslim ticket BAT will NOT Smell Aso Villa.
History shall be repeated:
Awolowo 1963
Abiola 1993 &
BAT 2023.
In as much as the south remain divided by selfish ambition, the north shall continue to rule(God Forbid)
Have you checked the recent Northern decampees from APC to PDP in the last two weeks....?

Northerners go shock una with this
#Bubu Pro-Max

Charlie Boy is on point here.
The duo has invested a lot of Dollars to be flagbearers and to invest more during the General Election.

You’re everywhere running your dead campaign against the gender that brought you to earth. Better ask her to return you wherever she picked you from.

African mothers never display their nudity shamelessly until Jezebels of your generation manifest.

Last week three in Zamfara decamped to PDP.
I smelled northern agenda for Atiku.

Bendeco02:
All these Tilumbu's tribes men sef.

So only money are kept in Ghana must go bags?

No matter how you guys try to discredit Amaechi, he is still better than tilumbu and Osinbajo combined together.

Amaechi can be better than BAT but not PYO Please. Bullion Van and Ghana must Go which one big pass.

Which kind Ghanian weed the man take.
He didn't back his message with scripture.
Revelation 7:9-14 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Under Yemi Osinbajo's Vice Presidency:

1. Nigerian unemployment rose to 33%

2. Violent killings increased 47% from 7063 in 2020 to 10,366 in 2021.

3. GDP per capita dropped 40% and Debt service to over 90% of revenue.

If you like, elect him..

Calm down

Osibanjo is not in charge, check his scorecard when he held brief when Bubu was on medical jamboree

AntiMen:
Let me begin with your last question...Yes I am ..

Then about having intimate conversations with him, actually I don't.

Maybe I should tell you how this started, I've stated it before but I will again, He expects me to have attained a level of spirituality which I'm not interested in, so whenever he sees me in church he would remind me to come for activities that would aid my spiritual life but I ain't interested in all that shit, seeing that I didn't bulge, each time I'm in church , whether I'm close or far away from him, he always ensure he calls my name or greets me, I could be having conversations with two of my friends,he will call only my name and pass to show he's greeting me ..Sometimes I feel embarrassed for my friends cos I believe he's supposed to greet all of us and not just me...
So because of these actions I began to grow fond of him...I won't lie sometimes I steal glances at him in church and our eyes meet, but I always shrug it off..

I don't really discuss anything confidential with him, and our talks have always been in the front of others...there's nothing more to all of that asides the unusual feeling I'm having...

Recently, we had a chat about an issue that concerns someone else in church and I gave my opinion about the matter, after our conversation ,we said the usual good nights and I want to use the normal hands emoticon to indicate goodnight, mistakenly (God's my witness) I pressed the lips emoticon after goodnight, it was so embarrasing.
But I left it that way cos it was a mistake and never ever intentional.

This must be a fiction else you're masturbating on him already.

For Not mentioning Atiku, El Rufai, I smell bias.
Remove Nwike and Osinbajo in your list and I'll trust you again.

Touch light the names again if they're from bandits species.

@67 still taking children to school.
Haba now......?

I hope Angel Michael interrogate him to release all the tithe money he collected from gullible ones using Gods name.

Asking God for mercy oozing trash early in the year

Do we still have NLC

So the daily attacks on villagers, famers, travellers and kidnapping doesn't matter to these people.
I smell Change of tactics by the same people.

saaron:
Until the rest of Nigeria detarch from terrorism ridden north, this is what we will continue to see every day.
Northern Nigeria is nothing but a haven of violence and bloodshed. You can't live in peace with foreign terrorist invaders. Northern leaders are the sponsors of Boko haram and fulani terrorist invaders.








TOTAL DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA WILL SAVE MILLIONS OF MIDDLE BELT AND SOUTHERN LIVES FROM FULANI AND BOKOHARAM TERRORISM!

But the pastor murdered is from Katsina of the core north.
