Honestly I have no bitterness towards sa for this ,they have the right to recognise and not to recognise anybody,it is their country. But what is annoying is the attitude of nigerians , no matter the humiliation ,rape ,destruction and damage these south africans inflict on nigerians living there ,you still find many nigerians queuing up in the hot sun in lagos wanting to get their visas , people still want to go there and clean their toilets and sweep their floors . It is these set of nigerians who are really disgusting and annoying. 1 Like |

50calibre: Brev, I hear that. Granting asylum on the pages of newspapers is one thing - giving it out to people is another thing. I believe the names of all the important folks in ANC, Steve Bantu Biko's black consciousness group et al are out there for folks to search. How many of them were granted asylum in Nigeria? How many those who were trained in guerrilla warfare were trained in Nigeria? There's no academic sources for it, and you can provide it, if you have any. All the names I know were never granted asylum in Nigeria. I believe Mandela was being PC as possible for cordial relationship - and he wasn't even out there at the peak of the struggle. He was in prison and was privy to little or nothing. The nationalisation of BP was made about apartheid politically - but I doubt that was actually the reason why it was nationalised. Apartheid was just an excuse for convenience. The whole thing was more complicated albeit vague Check the academic source attached to this post below (the highlighted bit). The imposition of visa requirements on Nigeria by Margaret Thatcher had absolutely nothing to do with tit-for-tat or apartheid. The UK economy was in shambles and they needed to reduce/curb immigration, and that coincided with a period when a lot of the Nigerian middle class were leaving the country en masse to the UK. The brain drain period started then. We as Nigerians need to look at things critically before always pointing fingers. The world doesn't revolve around Nigeria alone - neither does Africa. Let our actions judge who who are and not our vacuous and overblown sense of arrogance. That's how to maintain cordial relationship with everyone based on mutual respect. 3 Likes 2 Shares

From the horse's mouth: “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? Do you have lessons on how your past leaders stood by us and gave us large amounts of money? You know I hear from Angolans and Mozambicans and Zimbabweans how your people opened their hearts and their homes to them. I was in prison then, but we know how your leaders punished western companies who supported apartheid. “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.” --Mandela. |

989900: If you had the whole sentence - you'd understand that Mandela was just being PC, with the first phrase - while chastising Nigeria in the rest. He was in prison, locked away from everything on an Island. So he didn't know much about what happened at the peak of it. As a Nigerian, you ought to feel ashamed, when you start opening every book - and you keep seeing Nigeria's name omitted from the real players, despite having resources needed to have done a lot. Hence anything folks ask me who I think was the best Nigerian leader ever - I'll always tout Murtala Muhammed for the speech he gave at the OAU before he was assassinated. Nigeria let everyone down during that era, and that's the honest truth. 1 Like |

milychocs: You have what it takes to be astute and really knowledgeable, with a mind that can decipher a lot of things. But you're just too emotional and that obfuscate what should have been an enviable potential. Perhaps, it has to do with ultra-nationalism - who knows? Campaigning to deny yourself something, which might be the best value you can get, and that also contributes to the well-being of those you're trying to protest for/with, is always counter-productive. It's synonymous with how we black folks in diaspora always burn down our neighbourhoods in protest against the racist white establishment. What happens when the smoke clears? We go back to the same burnt down neighbourhood. The joke is on you. |

989900: While should he sit down when he is making a valid point? We really do love to catch feelings over things that are non-issue. Financial support, arms, etc It is not in record that Nigeria provided any for South Africa during its apartheid so why should Nigeria be mentioned in the plaque? You want them to include Nigeria falsely in the list or what? |
