Mandela thanked Nigeria PUBLICLY for ALL its support for him and the ANC.

Within a 35yr period, Nigeria gave South Africa $61 Billion equivalent today in SARF. It was the highest by any single nation in the world towards South Africa’s struggle to end ‘white minority rule’ i.e apartheid.

Nigerian students skipped meals to donate towards South African struggle.

Nigeria boycotted 1976 Olympics and 1979 common wealth games in protest over Black South African PERSECUTION.

Nigeria refused selling oil to South Africa minority rule. A solidarity decision that cost Nigeria $41 in potential revenue.

Nigeria trained South Africa PAC freedom fighters

Nigeria hosted over 300 ANC leaders and issued South Africans passports that enabled them travel to countries to lobby against apartheid.

Nigeria offered asylum to SA activist, provided free education to SA students.

Nigeria went all in for South Africa. Exactly how a big brother protects his younger brothers.
Some people believe that without Nigeria, perhaps South Africa might still be in that bondage. They still suffer from another bondage, but let me NOT digress.

Nigeria was THE FOREMOST supporter of South Africa’s liberation struggle.
