NELSON MANDELA IS GONE.


Funmi, Breaking News, Mandela is dead.. This was the news that woke me from my deep sleep and cleared my intoxication. Thou expected because of his unstable health condition, it still came has a shock to me.
Am yet to read or hear a negative comment about Madiba as he is fondling called. Thou not perfect, he lived an exemplary life. He was a fearless, courageous, honest, disciplined and humble man that lived an iconic life. He was an epitome of greatness.  He stood for the truth and what he believed in.
The world celebrates the life of a Legend who's selfless act gave freedom to his people and brought about a revolution. 
The huge praises and exaltation showered on this icon by world leaders and the world at large made me reflect on my life and kept me asking myself. When I go, what would people say about me? Whatever we do in life either good or bad, we should know that our deeds on earth would speak for us when we are gone.
Our leaders should emulate this great man who was selfless in serving his people. He was a leader of leaders and a role model to African Leaders, people and the world at large.
I challenge our leaders to make the death of Nelson Mandela a call to service this great nation.
Rest in peace MADIBA ( 1918- 2013)
