Hello People, today is a very beautiful day to talk about a Legend. I mean obviously.

It’s Mandela day.

Yes, Nelson Mandela was one of the greatest men in the world. Now, there was a fact most people thought they knew but didn’t really know.

This man saw into the future.

Madiba was the king of inspiration. And he said some things that not only made us think twice, but also showed that he could see into the future.

Pay attention to the next set of things you’re about to read.

When Mandela said “greed and power has turned brother against brother.” It seemed like he was just saying his own.

But just look at P-square now.

“When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat.” Mandela please help us tell our Nigerian mothers.

If you mistakenly try to leave water boiling and waste their gas. Just start digging your grave because it’s over for you.

Have you noticed how Nigerian’s travel abroad for one week and come back with polished accent? Mandela saw that too.

“Human beings have got the ability to adjust to anything.” He said it, and Nigerians are on this high table he shook. 

“I never lose. I either win or learn.” Nelson Mandela’s wisdom surpasses most but I wish he could take this statement back.

Because the Super Eagles have been learning for years now. Just learning and learning. Well done kings.

“In my country, we go to prison first and then become President.” Wow, I wish I could relate to this. But it’s different in my country.

You become president, then steal money, and still don’t go to prison. That’s how it goes here sir.

How can Nelson Mandela say “If you are poor, you are not likely to live long”. I don’t understand. What did I do to him?

It’s bad enough that i’m poor, now I have to worry about staying alive? If this is a joke can someone tell him it’s not funny?

“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.” Are we sure Nelson Mandela didn’t contribute to Nollywood movie scripts?

Just imagine Kanayo O. Kanayo saying this.

That year Madiba said “Forget the past.” Nothing more. Did we listen? No.

We had to bring Buhari back, we just had to.

“A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.” Let me break this down to you in English.

A liar should not lie about being a liar.

Nelson Madela really spoke to me when he said “A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.”

This technically means I have won in life.

We can say that apart from the historic significance Mandela has had on the world.

He has proven to be even more of a Legend with these little things. We love you Madiba
