TRIBUTE TO NELSON MANDELA - By Taslim OKUNOLA

When I learnt about the work of Nelson Mandela, I felt calling myself a comrade is just an appellation. The world just lost the TRUE COMRADE. One of the greatest men that could ever be produced. What kind of man shakes hand with those who imprisoned him after staying behind bars for 27 years? What kind of man will put his opponents in his agenda even after they have oppressed him? The only leader that sought so much for the Children's right. The man that fought rigorously for FREEDOM. I wish all the flags in the whole wide world could fly half-mast just for you. You deserve more honour. You have actually lived a life. You gave South Africans right to stay in their fatherland peacefully. Which politician could have been better than you? Which activist could have been better than you? Which president could have been better than you? MADIBA, you lived a life. You have inspired a whole lot of people including me. YOU ARE AFRICA! You will surely be remember for a very long time. We will miss you. MAXIMUM RESPECT for you, sir!

Nelson Mandela, anti-apartheid icon and father of modern South Africa, dies
Nelson Mandela , the revered statesman who emerged from prison after 27 years to lead South Africa out of decades of apartheid, has died, South African President Jacob Zuma announced late Thursday. Mandela was 95. "He is now resting. He is now at peace," Zuma said. "Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father." "What made Nelson Mandela great was precisely what made him human," the president said in his late-night address. "We saw in him what we seek in ourselves." Mandela will have a state funeral. Zuma ordered all flags in the nation to be flown at half staff from Friday through that funeral.
