If it were in Nigeria it will take ages to 'arrange' the funeral. There within a week or two it is sorted out where the cause of death is determined. Sorted out with no further ado no matter the status of the deceased in society, even kings and royalty.

Here my senior driver has been trying to sort out his father's funeral for the best part of three months since lockdown was lifted. The man passed on in February and the bills are piling up while they squabble over red tape.

We are a unique specie of people on earth, we Nigerians. The only ones that have 'culture'.

Leun:
I can only wonder which Nigerian when God calls them home will have the nation weep for them in this fashion.

For the fact that we choose not to recognize our heros does not in anyway imply that we lack one, I will take Prof.Dora Akunyili ahead of Maradona anyway anytime if Maradona were to be a Nigerian...

Diego the great. May your soul rest in perfect peace.

THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW THAT A MAN IS TRULY GREAT

Ayiinlla1:
I think he's more loved than messi

No until you are gone, people will not be so passionate about you. it is natural

dogmart:
The display of love for this man is truly amazing! May his soul rest in perfect peace.

the one outstanding virtue was the love and passion he had for his country Argentina. Infact all team he played for. That was why he was/is so loved by most people all over the world.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Was he a Muslim ??

My thought too

Trump my man

FAKE NEWS ALERT !!!!

very sad

Hmm

The end of an era,the fulfilment of a destiny ! Adieu Maradona !

couples even get married there [/quote
Nd he is a divorcee

A Land were there is love, look at the outpouring love, support and heartfelt condolence given to this man from Italy, to Europe, to South America to his home Argentina. Can you see this kind of love in Africa? One of the major phenomenon this continent lacks badly..

Diego Maradona: Footballer laid to rest as Argentina grieves



BBC




Fans pay last respect outside the Jardin de Bellavista Cemetery


Argentine football players pay last respect

*Additional Pictures from DailyMail

his the reason we all know Argentina in those days.he put Argentina in world map

A destiny well completed, accomplished glory..left when the ovation is still loud..Diego Maradona!!! Unlike ours " atoku maku amona orun malo"..the Nigerian politicians..

If it Naija dude now, der will tend to keep him in mortuary for months

maradona the great,I hope the host of heavens celebrate him like this...life after death...Rip legendary

unfortunately, i didnt get the chance to watch him play. I downloaded some of his videos on youtube and i was amazed at his capabilities. RIP diego maradona. I think napoli is planning to name their stadium after him. Rest on

tesppidd:
Even a kid knows this.

Messi is more loved than every other footballer in Argentina.

Messi is more loved than any footballer in Argentina?? is this a joke bro??

Those guys from Argentina view Maradona as a god, he made them famous in world football by 'almost single-handedly' winning them the world cup..

what has Messi done for Argentina?? Nothing.. to those Argentina folks, messi plays well for barca and never delivers for his country

Ask 10 guys from Argentina who is the GOAT, nine would likely pick Maradona..

RIP how time flies felt like it was yesterday watching him play

RIP Great Man

If Maradona's own is like this. How will Messi's burial own look like? See love shown to an icon. Which dead footballer in Nigeria have we shown this kind of love?

Very poor photoshop

The above name mentioned are just d fall guys. The real people are behind camera, dis ones only act on their orders but I take exception of Tinubu.

nolywe:
RIP Diego...Death could have taken Lai Mohammed, Fashola, Tinubu, Oshomole, Wike, Amaechi, Nnamdi Kanu, and las las BuBu...coz Nigeria would be better without these people...No one would even bother to clash with the police during their funeral...

Messi will never get half the love moradona gets from South America And possibly the world at large. Half the love. I repeat, half the love. In Argentina, Maradona is a god

bigseank:
This was not just the death of a man. it was the passing on of a legend, arguably the GOAT and one of the most respected and controversial figure in football history. he was the real magic before messi. You can see the genuine love people had for him. I can still remember when he flipped us the middle finger at the world cup, i vex that day.

Death is funny... Just a few months ago, people were abusing this man and making fun of his drug abuse issues.

wat about buhari d maigaskiya
