Nigerians blast Doyin Okupe for calling President Jonathan, 'The Nigerian Mandela'
Nigerians have reacted to Dr. Doyin Okupe's comparison of President Goodluck Jonathan to the late iconic South African president Nelson Mandela.
Okupe, senior special adviser, to the president said"Nelson Mandela was a great leader, he lived his life for the people of South Africa. I check through the history of Nigeria, among our past and present leaders, the only one we call our Mandela is President Jonathan. There is no president in Nigeria that has sacrificed 13 hours to discuss with ASUU."

Payless says:
Taking sycophancy to the next level. Praise singers are all of what GEJ has. They refuse to tell him the truth. They see green and tell him it is actually red. Putting GEJ in the same level as Mandela is an abomination. Okupe would have said the same thing if he was a mouth-piece for Abacha.
What a disgrace!
Lakesider says:
Yes o he is d mandela
Thats why
1.ASSU is on strike
2.thats y kidnapping has increased
3.thats why power supply has droped
4.thats y he and his wife go for medical abroad
5.thats y he gave presidential pardon to a thief
6.thats y lagos ibadan express road is a death trap
7.that y poverty has increased
8.thats why he got drunk at AU Assembly
I m sure okupe was drunk too when he said this.this Gej has turned nigeria affair to beer parlour affair.smh
Fkaz says:
Inferiority complex at work, what is the essence of sitting down with ASUU for 13hr without result?
How would he compare a freedom fighter with an opportunist, jona and his spin doctor are fooools
A-ZeD says:
Mandela is considered great because he transformed South Africa economically or otherwise, he is considered great because he did not preach hate or divisive politics also known as 'he is our brother' mentality.
GEJ and Mandela in the same sentence is blasphemy and treason.
Berem says:
It is an insult to compare Jonathan to Mandela. If Jonathan is to be compared to another leader,it should be Mobutu Seseseko. Please don't ask me why!
Solapex says:
really? The mandela of nigeria is GEJ? These pple always take nigerians for granted. Doyin Okupe is the most foolish man I ever met in my life. How dare you! Mandela of this world?. That tony blair discribe as the light of world? That obama said he was the hero of the ages? This is an insult to the world.
Come to think of it. Can mandela tells the pple of SA he doesn't give a dame? Can mandela says 16>19? Can mandela says that 5 of 32 house assembly members impeach a speaker?. Can mandela allow universities in SA to be shut for just 1 week not to say of 6 months? Can mandela support the electoral fraud that happened in Anambra state? I can go on and on. Mandela is a very secure leader and GEJ is the most insucure leader I ever seen in my life.

My fellow country people, is it good that Doyin Oku-Igbe is bringing international insults to our beloved country by comparing the Madiba to Jona? Please can Doyin Oku-Igbe answer these questions?
1. Did Madiba use more than one term as president?
2. Did Madiba ever go abroad for medical attention like Jona and Dame Sheppopo always do?
3. Did Madiba use over one billion naira per year for food when Madiba was president?
4. Did Madiba's wife die and resurrect in a German hospital due to cosmetics tummy-tuck operation?
5. Did Madiba's wife close airports, roads and entire state where she go like Dame Sheppopo always do?
6. Did Madiba chase all assumed political enemies leaving his presidential duties like Jona is doing now?
7. Did Madiba's wife go about fighting elected state or regional governors/leaders like Dame Sheppopo is fighting Amechi?
8. Did Madiba go to a foreign country, get drunk with ogogoro and land in hospital which is an impeachable office as Jona has done about three times now?
However, like they say, there are 2 sides to a coin... some agreed with Okupe

Jonathan has been a far busier president than Mandela ever was. Mandela took over a South Africa that was for all intents and purposes, already developed, with infrastructure, power, good schools etc etc already in place. All he did was basically sit in his airconditioned office drinking tea and preaching peace and reconciliation. Jonathan on the other hand, is out there on the streets, in the hot sun, commissioning rail projects, commissioning power projects, steel plants, airports, road projects, fighting ASUU, fighting Boko Haram, and all these other developmental issues.
In fact if Mandela had ruled in Nigeria, I doubt he would have been more effective than say the late President Yar'Adua or maybe Abdulsalami Abubakar. Jonathan is a dynamic leader. A man of action.

What many Ignoramus here don't seem to know is that, even if the great Madiba Mandela was to be a Nigerian President, he would be rubbished, Nigerians are terribly difficult set of humans to be governed! Jonathan may not have attained to the height of Mandela but by Nigerian standard and with his politics of 'reaching out to his political foes' makes him come closer! I am yet to see any President in the history of this country as magnanimous as Goodluck Ebele Jonathan!
