to me, I think he made the biggest mistake by making the oyibo man stay after they had their independence. which is why I don't see him as the icon that the whole world claims he is because great leaders always put the safety and the interest of their citizens first. the oyibo man owns pretty much everything in SA. and they still discriminate against the black ppl. hw can a true and a faithful leader take such a huge decision without consulting the people that fought with him, which is the citizens?

It is people like you lurking in the NPP who have turned it into an Ashantis only party with no prospect of ever of winning an election in Ghana. Keep up with your nonsense you fool. And by the way, one of the reasons for which the NPP got thrown out of office was because of the perceived rampant corruption during Kuffour's tenure not to talk of the NPP'sassociation with various drug dealers!

Beneath thy shadow we abide,
The cloud of thy protecting love;
Our strength, thy grace; our rule, thy word;
Our end, the glory of the Lord.

By thine unerring Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray;
We shall not full direction need,
Nor miss our providential way;
As far from danger as from fear,
While love, almighty love, is near.

Mandela was a great man, but his greatnes lies in the prism of all those who lived for and died in the course of the anti-aparthied movement. No doubt, unlike Nkrumah, he will be extoled by the white imperialist and hegemonic nedia. But Nkrumah remains the greatest African who ever lived in contemporary times!

To all my fellow members of the Student Movement for African Unity (SMAU) throughout Africa, who braved the sweltering sun in repeated demonstrations for freedom in South Africa, Rhodesia, Mozambique, Angola, Portuguese Guinea and Sahara (Sahraoui), who lost limbs and even lives to some brutal African regimes afraid of Western economic reprisals, I say to you: Not only were we able to inspire our widow's mite for political independence for our peoples, save Sahara, which is now under Moroccan hegemony, but we also witnessed, with boundless joy, the release of this icon.

Those who had cozied up to the apartheists and racists, gave them comfort and helped overthrow African leaders opposed to the oppressors, who are celebrating him today, came to the party too late.

MLK said that death is not a period but a comma that lifts us to a loftier significance. There is no doubt in my mind that tonight heaven is celebrating the arrival of Madiba with songs,harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals. This is a moment, however, for the African people to reflect on how to carry on with Mandela's aspirations. Our nations are in ruins and our leaders are corrupt and Mandela's passing should be a moment of reflection for not some of us, but, for all of us to take on the the role of being social engineers to help mobilize the masses of our people from where we find ourselves today.
