Israhell were planning on selling nuclear warheads to the racist apartheid govt of south Africa in order to ensure that black Africa remained subservient and under their total control and domination , no wonder Netanyahu isn't coming for Mandela's funeral at least he is not hiding his hatred unlike two faced Cameron and wall street puppet Obama.

why Sunday?

The best way to die is to die like Mandela, madiba

fckyourman: where is book haram, please go to south africa.

they were unable to enter Ghana na Southy dem wan go? I don't think so ( laugh at my joke by giving me like)

I hope OBJ =Obasanjo will not be thereooooooooooooooooooo to tell the world how he wanted Madiba to run for another term and was disgraced by Mandela.

emmaduks: The best way to die is to die like Mandela, madiba

Nay! The best way to die is to die in Christ, even if no one knows you, you can be certain that heaven does. What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and his funeral attracts 100 WORLD president but has no standing before the president of the universe. I am not referring to Mandela but for those who have not learnt to weigh things in the proper perspective.

The only Legacy I can afford this Mandela, who lived and will live on, is to ascribe him a much deserving title of "Christ", he has done much more to humanity and fits the order of christs.

Mandela Christ lives Forever.

all4naija: Great man indeed. We miss you Nelson Mandela!

Those notorious South African police men and women won't be able to provide good security. I know the american people will come with their own security at hand.

Third world-like SA!

The Secret Service will only protect the Obama and the 4 ex-Presidents.

This is surprising. When our beloved President Abacha died no head of state attended his funeral. This is discrimination

Adex097: ehya....wish I could go buh.....



Well, I know I and ma "unborn" kids will definitely go to madiba's "tomb" one day one day


RIP madiba

you don tiann

CFCfan: The fact that 91 leaders would be in attendance, lends credence to the popular axiom- "A good name is better than silver or gold".

I tell you there is nothing like having a good name. I hope we the living will learn from this Mandela tributes.

RIP Madiba!

Yeah it will surely be d biggest funeral ever....
But pls after d funeral, all dis dignitaries should pls not forget d Madiba 's family.

Africa's lucky to have produced such a reputable political figure. 2 words Nelson Mandela, South Africa, God bless!!!

WHIZBRO: @least we know the day our own Obasanjo dies Boni Yayi(Benin) Fnaussaugbre Eyadema(Togo), Bongo(Gambia) and the Teodore Obiang(Guinea Bissau) and other sit tight leaders he helped prop all over Africa would attend.

You didnt include Rober Mugabe of Zimbabwe

To me this can be the biggest funeral of all time.this point to show that Madiba was an international icon and the world still remember his legacies.UN as set aside Mandela birthday as Nelson Mandela day,almost all sport gave a minute silence in recognition of the passing of a great man including white house.words can not explain Madiba iconic legacies.Obama,Cameron,Merkel,Hollande and others including our President,Jonathan are to grace the funeral

needless to say dat our presido will b there. We knw he is always lookin 4 gdedu to attend

my family friend.

xp17: Wat is Obama doin there, I tot Mandela was in FBI terrorist list till 2008 . Mk dem pursue the guy and his delegate with koboko.

Metcheeew.


Let d death rest , why wastage of public funds?

SMH

Yoruba_Jesus: What Mandela would really want is not a state funeral, of what use is that to the dead. A quiet funeral with family and close friends would do and all the millions of money that will be spent on security of the state funeral should be used to feed the poor children dying of hunger and thirst without a roof over their head.

Another great black man, Tupac Shakur said "they got money for wars but they aint got money to feed the poor".

Anyway I think this hiding of comment is getting ridiculous. This is a forum, alot of comments shouldnt be hidden. The only comment that should be hidden is a threat to life comment.

are u Mandela's PA? Abi him tell u wetin he want 4 ur dream

NELSON MANDELA's memorial will be the 1st of its kind in the world, considering the calibre and number of dignitaries (movers & shakers of the world) that will grace the occasion.
This is an automatic entrance into the guiness world record.
Infact, the name MANDELA must become an important dictionary word (i.e MANDELA: Quintescential selfless leadership with all sincerity of heart).
I sincerely duff my cap for NELSON MANDELA as he bows out of life.
Who is the next MANDELA?

CFCfan:

The Secret Service will only protect the Obama and the 4 ex-Presidents.

seriously they can't protect him.. When he is giving his speech a sniper from anywhere can take him out, simple as ABC.

what an icon

Obama became president on January 20, 2009.. Google University is tuition free!

Bongo is from Gabon, and Teodore Obiang is from Equitorial Guinea.
