Nelson Mandela, rais wa kwanza mweusi wa Afrika Kusini aliyehusika kwa kiasi kikubwa katika mapambano ya kuubomoa ukaburu, alifanriki Alhamisi, Decemba 5, 2013 akiwa na umri wa miaka 95. Mtu huyo anayependwa sana, na Mshindi wa Tuzo ya Amani ya Nobel, anayejulikana pia kama Madiba, alitumikia kifungo cha miaka 27 jela alikokuwa amefungwa kwa sababu ya harakati zake za kisiasa wakati wa utawala wa makaburi nchini humo kabla ya yeye kuwa Rais.
Tangu habari za kifo chake zifahamike, Wanaijeria wamekuwa wakiadhimisha maisha yake na nyakati za mtu huyo anayesemekana kuwa tunu kubwa kuliko zote kwa mwanadamu ambayo Afrika imewahi kujaaliwa. Katika mtazamo wa Afrika duniani, kuondoka kwa jemedari huyo si wakati wa kuomboleza, bali wakati wa kutafakari na kufurahia kumbukumbu yake. Tanzia zimekuwa zikimiminika katika mitandao ya kijamii ya Naijeria tangu kutangazwa kwa kifo chake.
Oluwatosin Olaseinde, mhasibu na mkaguzi wa mahesabu, alipata haya kwa ufupi:
Today shouldn't be a day of mourning, it should be that of celebration. Mandela has lived a great life, he was full of age, Rest In Peace
— Oluwatosin Olaseinde (@PrincessTosin87) December 6, 2013
“Leo haipaswi kuwa siku ya maombolezo, yapaswa kuwa maadhimisho. Mandela aliishi maisha makuu, alikula chumvi, Apumzike kwa Amani
Oby Ezekwesili, makamu wa Rais wa Benki ya Dunia, kanda ya Afrika, aliandika:
Would b a “long walk” 4 many African leaders to “inherit” the VALUES ESSENCE of #Madiba. Greater shall be those who dare to take d 1st step! — oby ezekwesili (@obyezeks) December 6, 2013
Itakuwa safari ndefu kwa watawala wengi wa Afrika kurithi TUNU YA ASILI ya #Madiba. Watakuwa watu wa maana wale wote watakaothubutu kuchukua hata hatua ya kwanza tu!
Twitter user @ba55ey celebrated Mandela:
A source of inspiration for people in almost every country of the world #Madiba — bmc! (@ba55ey) December 6, 2013
Alikuwa hamasa kwa watu karibu kila nchi ya dunia #Madiba
Mwandishi wa Habari Abang Mercy-Asu aliweka video ya Madiba ya “Hotuba ya Uhuru”:

Mtumiaji @KwamiAdadevoh alitoa wito kwa tafakuri za kila mtu mmoja moja:
I am at about the age that #Madiba was when he got imprisoned. Physically and mentally could I survive 27 yrs and still affect the world? — #Madiba46664 (@KwamiAdadevoh) December 6, 2013
Nimekaribia umri ambao #Madiba alikuwa nao wakati anawekwa gerezani. Kimwili na kiakili hivi kweli ningeweza kuhimili miaka 27 na bado nikaweza kuleta mabadiliko duniani?
Mtumiaji @WilDeji, mkufunzi wa mbwa, alijaribu kukumbuka siku ya kihistoria Madiba alipoachiwa kutoka gerezani:
“They have released Mandela”- do you remember the very moment you heard this statement made? What were you doing…? #Madiba
— 46664 || Just Pets (@WilDeji) December 6, 2013
“Wamemwachia Mandela” -unakumbuka wakati huo uliposikia habari hizo? Ulikuwa wapi na ulikuwa unafanya nini…?#Madiba
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, mwanasiasa na Mpinzani maarufu Naijeria, akasema:
Leaders celebrate Mandela, but lack his discipline and morale fortitude They stand in the way of their people and make Africa laughingstock
— Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@AsiwajuTinubu) December 5, 2013
Watawala wanamsherehekea Mandela, lakini hawana nidhamu yake na muono. Wanasimama kuziba njia za watu wao na kuifanya Afrika ionekane kituko.
Nnayelugo alitoa wito wa kile alichokiita “U-Mandela”:
Nigerians should start first (on their path to ‘Mandelaness’) by resuming at work at the appropriate time. — Nnayelugo (@eloka51) December 6, 2013
Wanaijeria wapaswa kuanza kwanza (kwenye njia ya “Umandela”) kwa kwenda kazini kwa wakati
Maneno yaliyoonekana kuwa ya ukosoaji katika twiti ya mtumiaji wa mtandao wa twita anayejiita Load of the Gourds yalikuwa na kejeli:
Any Nigerian “leader” caught weeping crocodile tears over Mandela should be sentenced to 14 years breaking rocks in Kirikiri [Maximum security prison in Lagos, Nigeria]. @AsiwajuTinubu
— Lord of the Gourds (@ikhide) December 6, 2013
“Kiongozi” yeyote wa Naijeria atakayeonekana kumwaga machozi ya mamba kwa ajili ya Mandela alazima afungwe miaka 14 katika jela ya Kirikiri [Gereza lenye ulinzi imara kabisa mjini Lagos, Nigeria]
Mtumiaji @nnamdiarea hakuwaonea huruma watawala wa Afrika:
The worst thing about Mandela's death will be the long, dull speeches by African leaders who want to praise him but not learn from him. — Geek. (@nnamdiarea) December 6, 2013
Kitu kibaya kuhusu kifo cha Mandela itakuwa ni hotuba ndefu, zisizona msisimko wowote kutoka kwa watawala wa Afrika ambao wanataka kumsifu lakini hawana mpango wa kujifunza kutoka kwake. -Kero
Machambuzi wa mambo ya kijamii Jason Kayode alifikiri kwamba si jambo la msingi sana kujaribu kuwafananisha viongozi na Mandela kuliko ilivyo kwa raia kujifananisha naye:
Question: Which Nigerian leader can be like #Madiba. Answer: Which Nigerian CITIZEN can be like #Madiba
— Jason Kayode (@KayodeJason) December 6, 2013
Swali: Kiongozi gani wa Naijeria anaweza kuwa kama #Madiba. Jibu: RAIA yupi wa Naijeria anaweza kuwa kama #Madiba
RamblersINC, a mwanablogu na Mwanafasihi, alijumuisha kumbukumbu ya Madiba:
The lesson here is that a good name is better than wealth, fame, or power. The worth of a man's life is not in the abundance of possessions.
— RamblersINC. (@tee_hidee) December 6, 2013
Somo hapa ni kwamba jina jema ni bora kuliko ukwasi, umaarufu au madaraka. Thamani ya maisha ya mtu haiko katika umiliki wa mali.
Mojisola Sodeinde aliandika:
Today he ranks above his jailers, above all world leaders, above royalty, in death he is larger than life ~ Nelson Mandela
— Mojisola Sodeinde (@mojisodeinde) December 6, 2013
Leo amekuwa maarufu kuliko waliomfunga, juu sana kuliko viongozi wote wa dunia, juu sana ya ufalme, akiwa marehemu Nelson Mandela ni mkuu kuliko maisha
Molara Wood (@molarawood), mwandishi, mwanahabari na mhariri, alihitimisha hisia za wa-Naijeria katika twiti hii ya kishairi:
Mandela is gone. The sun has set. The elephant has fallen. More than words. Farewell, Madiba. Go well. — Molara Wood (@molarawood) December 5, 2013
Mandela ameenda zake. Jua limechwea. Tembo amelala. Zaidi ya Maneno. Kwa heri, Madiba. Nenda salama
Madiba atacheza kwa mrindimo wa wimbo huu wa maombolezo, umeandikwa na mshairi wa ki-Naijeriat, Tosin Gbogi, anapokaribia “lango la mbinguni”:
Nelson, mwanga angavu uliomwulika giza
Miaka mingi iliyoshiba kumbukumbu,
Lugha yakwama mpaka kisigino cha mwishoSoweto yakumbuka mipaka ya adhabu ya mapinduzi
Usiku kama huu, Nelson, usiku kama huu ambapo
Miale ya mwanga iliyomwulika dunia nuru ya
Kumbukumbu: mauaji makubwa
Na ubaya: Botha akiwa imara dhidi ya wasio na akili
Usiku katika midomo yake, alitamka rangi yake kuwa adui wa
Mawio yaliyokileta Kisiwa cha Robben kwenye magoti yake.Yu njiani, Nelson hatimaye yu njia kwenda kwenye Mji wa Uhuru
Na akawe na amani ya milele, oh
Malaika Biko na Brutu, waharakishe kuingia kwake kwenye lango la mbingu
