Linda you are just a naughty lady for highlighting that Michelle and Obama's Before & After Pics. I just hope the Obama's marriage isn't going through a Rocky phase, because the signs are written all over Michelle. Anyway, RIP Madiba.....

Ibudeh Steve said...

Neither the G7 Meeting,nor the United Nations General Assembly could boast of a Galaxy of World Leaders like this. Madiba, you were great on Earth, i have no doubt you will be greater in Heaven. In Jesus name, Amen and Amen

I need answers my pple, did anyone notice if there was one military or police in the stadium.?
Do we have d facility in Nigeria to host 91 world leaders? DId u see any aso ebi or ANC Ankara ?
Did you notice any biting or crowd rushing?
Now which country is still in slavery?.......
Not even the pope can have such gathering of world powers at one sitting,
if the Bible and Quran will be written again, God will make today a whole chapter to pass a message. Surely Madiba is in heaven.
I heard that all pple praying today had their prayers held because God, Jesus and Mohammed were in South Africa today.

This is a joke right? There's no need for a security detail behind obama, because they've been there 2 days in advance setting up security details at every nook and cranny of that football field. Security detals have setup perimeters as far as eyes can see. So no need for security details trailing behind him, they are around him. They are everywhere, even the garbage man could be a secret service and you wouldn't even notice. Nigeria is enjoying because no crazies has made an attempt to assassinate the president like they did JFK, Lincoln, and many others. If they had, he will learn to beef up security more and not having some military reject trailing behind him like an unemployed FBI agent. Smh for Nigeria and sub par/mediocrity.

Yes o! The kings of the earth gathered for one man who fought fearlessly for the emancipation of his people from apartheid. Even though he was labelled a terrorist by the same kings who gathered at his funeral, he never stopped fighting. He was sentenced to life in prison, out of which he spent 27yrs before his freedom, yet, he fought for his belief that we are equal.
Rest in peace, Madiba

Even former president of Ghana get more respect than that 1st class mumu called Jonathan. No be by phd, we are talking integrity here and that Jonathan n his entire crew members (cabinet) have none.

PASCHAL said...

what a grt legend and grt lost, Africa has lost d only sincere and truth to purpose leader... can d youth learn from his unfathomable love and forgiveness for his nation and enemies... if Obama can be inspired by his life style and person 30yrs ago and now is d president of d no 1 nation in d world... cant African younger generations learn and b inspired from him to built a better nation in each of d countries in the continent. d crowd at his funeral shows that African still remains d only hope for d world if both leaders and followers can be sincere and truth to purpose. d wise should think and act now!

Yes a gud name is beta dan wealth n we culd see dat 2day. Though the memorial service was too formal, i expected a lot of singing n praises to God. @ 95 with all the prisons, cancer, n long infection, thus God kept him to reap the fruit of labour. This kind of man will neva again be found especially not in Nigeria. President Obama gave a wonderful speech, not sure wat President Jacob Zuma was doing, perhaps giving lectures with a handout. Rest on the Royal prince of Mvezo...... RIP Madiba.

All ye corrupt leaders learn from this great man, never travelled abroad to get treated, stepped down after a tenure n retire from public activities wen he got old.

As a historian, u forever live in my books n my heart.

LINDA....always try to reference your sources..
Stealing Pics from reputable sites and reusing them does not make you/team a professional one.

It screams of desperation and crass repugnancy

Madiba the greatest said...

Lwkmddd u just made me puke Philip Aremu. Lord, viewing this got me goosed bumped. Did anyone notice Obama taking pics of himself? Loll I just love the man, so natural and true to himself. God, see the assembly, I don't think till eternity anyone Wil pull such a huge crowd ever again, dead or living. RIP madina.

God bless you a zillion times!!! I pray Linder posts this comment and listen to you. I so agree with you they don't deserve it. They both have nothing decent to say ,their comments full of insults and vulgarity. The girl pisses off the more cos she is female and should be more couth and have some scruples. I concur they shouldn't get a share!

Linda, please did bros Jonathan went late, i did not see him in the pix with other world leaders, but still i love this images is cool and lovely.

Anonymous said...

Many world leaders had died and buried but this is huge, no matter what, people appreciate men of honour, substance, integrity and truism and are ready to celebrate them even when there is heavy down pour, Madiba has come, saw and conquered. what about you, what are you going to be remembered for....ponder a bit

Still On Still said...

why u put our president as d last pix na? i don vex... lolz

FunmiD said...

When you re great,you re great.This man was born and made for greatness,even the prison walls couldn't stop him.I only hope that our Dear Jona learnt one or two things from the eulogies poured on this great Icon.
Selfishness reduces who you are while sellessness adds to who you are.
If Mandela had selfishly abandoned the struggle and negotiated his release witout a care about his followers the world would not have celebrated him like they did yeaterday Gbam!
