For a man that divorced a wife that suffered with him just to marry another. And they say he was a wonderful and a forgiving man, but he couldn't forgive his wife for whatever reason. Men are terrible.

Must you comment? Thank God you used the word man, he is a man after all, besides the divorce was could have been for the benefit of the wife and not his! He is not a saint but he is a very good man and that's why the whole world is celebrating him, don't come here with misplaced anger against men and b4 u reply with more venom I am a woman and I just see the world differently. Thank you
U serious @curvy ZO?..thanks 4 d help.
Mayowa
Let's give it up 4 miss *perfect* chinasa. Ur comment is so dumb.
Zuriel.
yes!we will be remembered by what we've done. Even, d bible said it, "our work' has reward rest in the bossom of our Lord.
Fare thee well. The legend becomes one with the soil.
May his soul rest in peace
Chinasa, in true Naija woman fashion you have brought something so significant and turned it into something to do with marriage. The man divorced his wife for reasons best known to anyone but both of them/ If you want to know ask Winnie, you hear.
RIP Madiba!!! Guys Omale Joseph is giving out N3m to 100 lucky of his OJB readers like sis linda Oooooooo. I think i have his contact.. Naijanewz@dr.com
RIP Madiba... Omale Joseph is given out the cash gift of N3m to 100 lucky OJB readers like Aunty Linda... Lol!! Copy copy.. Make i go play that game Jere.. His email na Naijanewz@dr.com
#crying# may God bless his soul. That is a born leader. A man who lost part of his life for his people. Not Amaechi who goes about saying rubbish, wat about d money he has stolen via Mono rail project. They should start by stoning him. Lindodo how are u?
L its not only MALDIBA
Madam u can forgive someone bt u cnt just see urself with dt person again.
Besides u knw nothing abt dem so jst chill
Rest on ,the african hero#crying#
Like say u get money for ticket b4. Abeg park well
African awoo. RIP Mandela
So fucking what???........Feeling like Don Jazzy abi?
Starboi Mandela
Rest in peace Madiba
Chinasa, what is your problem with Yoruba people. Do you see it as being funny or what? Personally I think u might have some sort of mental disability. I bet you went to church today and expect that God will answer your prayers with so much hatred in your heart? I pray u dont get beaten up one of these days.can u for once make a reasonable contribution. You appear not to be learned. What are u doing in Lagos? Why dont u just go back to your village!
@Chinasa, ur comment is one of d reasons u will always get dumped . He is Madiba....Not Jesus christ .
@ Chinasa. What do you know about anything? Please go and observe you siesta if u cant say something reasonable about anything. Hater!
Where was Mandela when Gowon was killing ndi Igbo? haven't heard of his role during the Nigerian civil war!
Anony 3:25 Otele gba gi there.
U can help him too... God bless u
Can you just shut your trap for once Chinasa . Must you have a tribalistic comment for every thread? Especially when it is not relevant. Get a life please.
Rest in peace Hero, man of peace and kindness.
@ Chinasa. At least he will be remembered for his contributions towards liberation of his people. What will you be remembered for? You stupid remarks to every issue?
wow... Fly past @ its best, Tnx Lili 4 this news as i did not have the opportunity to watch it.
PS: just release the names of your winners so we can stop seeing the pleas in every other post. BTW, way-2-go aunty Lili, God will continue to bless you for being a helping hand to those in need.
I guess u don't like me dats y u didn't post my last comments,but I can beat my chest that I read ur blog every 20min of everyday,(though I don't usually comment,due 2 fear of insult by others) ,I started this ritual since febuary 2013,and I guess dis is y am qualified 4 d 20k asides dat, I sincerely need it to get a jamb form for my fatherless niece, and as an orphan,I need it to continue my fish business so I can get more money bfr I resume back 2 school on d 6th of january. Forget my chrismas,its not meant for orphans like me. O7039227870,thanks in anticipation aunty.
Rest in peace, Madiba. Such lovely sisterhood between his ex and current wife. Hope it holds forever. I'll bet the funeral has done wonders for South African tourism. It seems a place that many will want to visit, rich in history, culture and beautiful scenery.
Sorry is ur name Estelle or u are wishing me happy Sunday?
Chinasa Ignorance is a disease. Get informed. When he came out, she was seeing someone else (27 years is a long time). He asked to get back with him. But she chose to stay with her current bf. Thank me later for the education.
Lmao.#word

RIP Madiba..
Rip Mandela..great man!
Anayo 1!!!!
So much has been said; so much has also been written since we got the news. Even the media is awash with stories about him. World leaders and even common men like me eulogize him. But one question has been ringing in my ears, “Justice, could you have done what Mandela did if you two swapped positions?” Paraphrase it to say, “Can I do what Madiba did?”
As I pounder over this question, let me in my usual way, put down a tribute in the form of a poem for this icon that flew away in golden wings.
A MAN LIKE NO OTHER
Go forth Madiba
You towering giant of a man
With a voice that stood against oppression
A trailblazer that blazed a trail
Showing tenacity in the midst of adversity
He took upon himself the suffering of humanity
And toiled even in Robbin Island
Where men are stripped of their dignity
Madiba,
You’re not Christ
Yet you acted like the Messiah
Dealing a deadly blow to apartheid
Even when men misunderstood you
You stood alone on the part of Justice
Madiba, oh Madiba!
You were sent on an errand of mercy
Who shall we now brag about?
When Mahatma Gandhi had gone
And the Zik of Africa is no more
Even the voice of Martin Luther goes mute
And injustice stands as strong as the rock of Gibraltar
Dancing with impunity,
Men cringe except Mandela who mended.
A strong man in the clan has gone
A man stronger than poverty and oppression
A man who chose peace in the face of war
A man who forgave in the face of wrongs
A man who showed us the way to peace
A pathfinder and a pace setter
You left a shoe bigger than humanity
And your branches spread across bridges
In Rivonia trial you stood tall
Even in Robbin Island you endured
Having the prison walls come down
You fought in the battle of gladiators
And apartheid came crashing under your feet
Madiba, oh Madiba my man
Your valour and gallantry we all know
Today encomium pours like showers from heaven
Nelson Madiba Mandela,
A man born on the month of Julius Caesar
You lived like Messiah,
Even as Isaiah prophesized
You died on the same month Christ was born
As the world mourn your departure
I pray that your spirit comes upon our leaders
Farewell, Farewell, the great Madiba______ man of peace.
Honouring Mandela is not by writing sweet-sounding words or phrases like I just did. We can only honour Madiba by imbibing what he preached and stood for. In the words of President Obama, "We are all privileged to live in a world touched by his goodness."
God bless Africa!
Muyiwa we know its u! Nothing for u! Stop fooling ur sef Abeg!
Dundi united !
Anon 2.55 your grammer can kill readers that's why linda doesn't post ur comments. Try n understand pls.
Anon 2.57 bulls eye.

Rest in Peace Madiba ....You are indeed a Great man...the Hero is Gone
Why would god be angry with Linda for not helping the guy? What is wrong with you? How many people do u think Linda can help? Ungrateful lot!
RIP madiba.......
A poor unknown boy from a small Qunu village to one of the greatest man in the world, wow! Nothing is impossible, RIP madiba
May gentle soul rest in perfect peace Amen!
Rip madiba ... I sat and passed my ssce 3yrs ago but I've been unable to further my education due to inability to purchase a jamb form ...the twenty thousand will go a long way in buying a jamb form and secure my post utme form ...I really wish to further my education...thanks ma

Go and kill ur self, channel ur anger issues towards making ur own life better are u saying u are d only one dat is aware of it, or better still u are better than everyone persons dat attended d ceremony.... Try and achieve wot he did b4 u can start blabbing
Your comment does not make sense, have you even read the history of Mandela and winnie? Abeg park well. BTW I'm a woman.
This is what we call "Hero's past...."
RIP to Mandela!!!
Mandela has lived his life and the whole world is praising him for humility and forgiven spirit.This calls for a sober reflections for our leaders.What will they be remembered for when the death will come knocking? Mandela never had a private jet, he didn't prosecute oppositions, he loved the poor much as he loved the rich, he never had a bullet proof car(s) and made south Africans to be proud of their country.
Which of the Nigeria leader(s) will die and you expect the citizens to weep? Non.Our leaders should borrow from the virtues of Mandela.His simplicity is infectious.Mandela didn't die in foreign hospital and neither did he visit Germany, Saudi Arabia or UK for his medical checkups.Reason is because their hospitals are equipped with south Africans money.Why would a Nigerian leader rush to abroad to treat ordinary malaria when every government claimed to be building hospitals.Why can't our hospitals be equipped.
I noticed how Nigeria were relegated to back ground in the order of arrangement during Mandela's burial.The reason is not far fetched, south Africa wouldn't want to recognise our leaders who are so self centered and also lacking the qualities of a good leader.Countries like Tanzania and Malawi were given time to make speech.Even while recognising members of the international communities/diplomatic Corps our dear country wasn't mentioned.As far am concerned I believe it was an intentional act by South African government to let our leaders know that corruption can't take them any where.Moreno why Nigeria be recognised when we don't have good foreign policy.just recently the president of Liberia was thanking united state for helping in resolving the civil war that they had.Nigeria was excluded.
Is it not time that our leaders should look inwards and put their house in order and stop this idea of primitive accumulation of wealth.From Abia state to zamfara tthrough the presidency, the story is these...corruption.You may enrich your self/generations but one day the debt collector(death) will come and their won't be any hiding place.Neither will committee be set up the question the debt collector.Vanity upon vanity is vanity. REST IN PEACE MADIBA.
