funky medina:our free fall as a nation did not start five year ago. It started many years before then. It is quite unfortunate that this hakeem and others like him can not hide their hatred for jonathan. |

ontarian: Thank you mr writer. Everyone is commenting and praising Madiba for his candid opinion on naija, as if we needed him to tell us before we can realize the truth.Sorry, Nairaland is even worse than the real life Nigeria. It can't be helped that people will say all the silly things they would never be bold enough to say in real life here. Anyone going by the tribal e-wars here would think that once Igbos meet Yorubas, they fight to the death. People can support any government action they like and never back down, lest they be seen to be "weak". The mods whom you would expect to regulate these things are happy to even encourage them. After all tribal wars generate more traffic. If you doubt me, open this topic: "Ikenna Okoro & Maduabuchi caught for kidnapping" Or "Yemi & Kehinde arrested for 419". They will quickly hit front page and may reach 10 pages or more of tribal bashing. A normal person could come here and develop into a tribal bigot in no time. 1 Like |

I think the most interesting line in that statement is "Corrupt people don't make good leaders " We put those we know are corrupt into office to lead us becAuse of sentiment of tribe ,religion ,etc that was exactly how Jonathan got there after his disastrous Bayelsa term . Nigerians really need to wake up. My problem however why this after Madiba"s death ? Someone has this but hid it . God have mercy on Mandelas soul. Amen This fall did not start today but we surely are doing it at a more dangerous speed !!!!!!! |

EloquentMedia: Before we begin to blame our leaders, lets reexamine ourselves because our leaders still come from among us. If you still come to Nairaland to indulge in tribal warfare, then it is YOU Madiba is disappointed at. If you still cheat in the exam, and pass exam by sorting-it's a clear sign that you will cheat in election, and embezzle public funds. it is YOU that is painting us black let us as youths change our ways, embrace godly values and shun the get rich quick syndrome and collectively we will get to the promised land in our generation. After all history has shown us that evil does not pay and has a generational consequencegbam! U said it all,, but pardon me 2 sort my final year exam! |

Ghost01: He should also have been angry with himself and his country. Despite the political concessions made by the Mandela-led ANC, social inequality and economic injustice persists, till date, in the Rainbow Nation. This is a country (South Africa) that has a GDP ($408.24 billion as of 2011) that's far greater then Nigeria's ($243.99 billion as of 2011), a population (50,586,757 as of 2011) that's less than 40% that of Nigeria's (162,470,737 as of 2011), and yet has an unemployment rate (29.8% as of 2011) that's greater than Nigeria's (23.90% as of 2011). Young man, why are you so narrow & dark minded? I feel your energy letting you groom with HATE! |

Two solutions: Long run:Give all kids free quality education, build quality public schools and impose heavy tax on private schools, make education compulsory and free till a certain age. give the pupils trained teachers who will teach them to love and value the republic, and that no matter what tribe or religion, we are all one. sadly this is not the case in most schools, my teachers only taught me history and culture, they never taught me to value and love the republic. You even see teachers who will say stuff like "omor ibo" why should a teacher say that? remember no1 was born with hate, nor criminality.. we are all products of our environment. Short Run: Youths should stop being tigers on keyboard and hit the streets! its this suffering and smiling attitude that is killing Nigeria. Ive said this in so many other threads and i'm going to say it again. Nigeria should be one of the world powers!! and in as much as all other African countries hate to admit it, they are all looking up to Nigeria. Ghanians and other African countries are always making fun of Nigeria and we think its hate? NO!!! they are disappointed that you have failed them!!! Nigeria is the power house of entertainment in Africa, every upcoming singer/ actress/Dj/VJ from all other African Nation wants to come to Nigeria, Nigeria is the 2nd richest Nation in Africa and 40th in the world, Most influential Nation in Africa, Nigeria is the only Nation in Africa where foreigners can live as comfortable as they would in their countries, sometimes even more comfortable without discrimination e.g Dan foster. what else does a Nation need? Nigerian youths are incredibly gifted creative and talented, A Nigerian was the first to hack an ATM machine!! imagine what this lad could have invented with the right education and mental build up! Nigeria could easily be the USA of Africa(she already is to an extent) and one of the G20 countries! We need deliverance, we need a revolution! not until these corrupt witches and wizards leave seat will we see development, and not until you get out of your sheets and hit the streets will they leave the seats! 1 Like |

mavinc4u: It is only in Nigeria where nothing happens that people keeps saying there is power in the spoken word...there is no power in words you just speak to the air...absolutely zero power..you need motivation and then action..if we like lets keep singing 'Nigeria go better'...it means nothing. Its just too annoying hearing church people and this fictitious powerful tongue. which foolish "God Bless Nigeria' should people be saying, did you not read where God says he will not answer the prayers of people whose hand s are filled with blood and not committed to change. 1 Like |

We have had great leaders in the past and we can still have great leaders today. What we need most in Nigeria are nation builders and not title chasers. Majority of Nigerians are title chasers and such people cannot build a nation. Look in the mirror. Are you not one of the greedy and selfish title chasers who have turned Nigeria into a dog eat dog land?

[b][/b]'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. The above statement from mandela passionately stoodout to me but most especially 'POVERTY DOES NOT BREED CONFIDENCE' |

Judek2: [size=48pt]Some people tell me your country may break up. Please don’t let it happen'. [/size] It is because of people like you that i don't associate myself with any Igbo person even though i am Igbo. You are not educated neither are you intelligent. You want Nigeria to break-up in 2015 so that you can have Biafra. Good!!! But.... * How many houses/condominium/apartments have they built in Biafra to accommodate all the Igbos when they return? * Where is the good road? Water? Electricity? Healthcare? Security? and many more to cater for households, industries et al. * What are the preparations for The Republic of Biafra? * Of all countries on earth, Igbos choose a tyrant nation Israel as an ally. Why Israel? ... I can go on and on but it's going to get personal. Now i want you to walk outside your house, raise your hands up, look up to the sky and say "God why you come create me like this na?". Common sense is truly not common. 3 Likes |

lekanfahd: It has been well said. I dont think any sensible person need to consult BABALAWO or ask GOOGLE to know that the level of corruption especially among our leaders is so much that one cant just imagine and also the decay in educational system is unimaginable too. No great nation in the world today achieve whatever they have without educating the young. They are the future and hope of any nation that wants to be greatyou are totally right |

How could he be that angry with Nigeria, but could not be with the very people who imprisoned him for 27 years and killed his own people? Anyhoo, he should have considered that the leaders who met and concluded that they would step back and let Nigeria deal with it made the wrong choice. You dont see your neighbours houss on fire and say their sons will put it out. Maybe their input would have made a difference. Nigeria is not there just to come to the aid of others only. while others stand back when we need help, even diplomatically. As far as disappontment, I am dissapointed in what SA is after the worlds effort to free them from aparteid. After coming from oppression, they display xenophobic attuitudes towards fellow black africans. After being freed from violence they have features year after year on murder and violent crime indexes. I am also dissapointed with SA and the shape is has taken after aparteid. 2 Likes |

lol, I've never read so much twaddle in my life. And, i apologies for those that i offend, but to me Mandala's attitude in the article and the general treatment of Nigeria smacks of all that is wrong with the black race. The thing I've noticed with black people -except for Nigerians and this is why i will die defending Nigerians - is that black people are self loathing cowards. What I'm trying to articulate here in only a few lines requires many volumes of books, so bare with me. It can be difficult for some people to strike at the heart of the truth amidst the pseudo intellectualism but I'm not one of those people. I'm like the simple boy who saw that the king was really naked. So here it is: Nigeria was strident in its anti apartheid stance. I do no like Indians but Nigeria and India, ( Rajiv Ghandi (RIP) Jamaica also were really the nations most viscivorus against white rule. Nigeria for whatever reason, perhaps because of her stance towards South Africa, was and continues to be viewed with the trepidation accorded the Mandigo at the bedroom door of the white woman. It does not pay to fight the black fight, blacks will eventually be against you!!! The simple truth is that Mandela and South Africa sacrificed Nigeria in order to gain the favor of the white nations like America and Britain that had hitherto been the most reluctant to see black rule in South Africa. Mandala made a lot of compromises. He compromised his wife, ostensibly for her part in Stumpi's death, but really it was in order to facilitate his smooth entry into power and not offend his international support. Like Teflon he is ruthless with grease. Again, get it in your too much politics addled brains - Mandela simply sacrificed Nigeria as he did Winni Mandela the rest is simply justifications. The notion that Nigeria let down the black world and not that Mandela let down the black world really is quite Machiavellian. Bravo!! Quote: Nigerian leaders don't care for their people what a laugh!! Orrrr poor bleeding heart Mandela he cared for the Nigerian people so he made Nigeria a pariah state because he loved us so. Who is the funniest comedian in the world right now?? I bet he wont have delivered a more hilarious line than this, Mandela gag :The world will not respect Africa until Nigeria earns that respect. The black people of the world need Nigeria to be great as a source of pride and confidence No one gives a Bleep about how Nigerian government treats Nigerians. Certainly not Mandela. The international community don't love you Nigerians that much. The world isn't out there wringing its collective grubby hands and shaking its hypocritical heads in sadness at the so-called plight of Nigerian citizenry. In fact they would glory if you're on television in rags and begging for food and hiding form marauding rapist soldiers such as visions of the CAR and Ethiopia respectively. Now, his Mandela's actions shouldn't be viewed with surprise, however Nigerians are naive when it comes to understanding the wretched and servile state of the black world to which they do not really belong but think that they do. The black is never more dangerous or ruthless than when fighting for the causes of others. Remember that. |
