OBAMA and MADIBA have so much in common, its CRAZY!!
The freakiest thing happened to me when I started seeing pictures of new US President Barrack Hussein Obama and that of our own former President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. They have so much in common it gave me goosebumps, I mean how often do two people accomplish the same thing and seem so much alike? I don’t know about you but this sent yours truly thinking that just maybe they are “God Sent” as Bishop Tutu said of the two.
Well here are the obvious common facts:
· They are both first black presidents of two different states, after much fuss and fight over the questionability of the leadership of black people
· They made history of their own as first black people to lead their respective countries
· They are both family men, with wives and children- and both have two famous daughters now
· They got the most publicity when they were sworn into presidency
· They are intelligent
· Religious men
· They were both sportsmen when they were young, one a boxer and the other a basketball player
· Married at a young age
· They both studied law
· They keep smiling even in the roughest and toughest times of their lives
· They believe in talking to people by encouraging peace, give them hope for a better tomorrow
· They are loved internationally and have by far received more attention from worldwide presidents in awe of them
· They show they nurturing skills with the people as they are family men, and those skills have come in handy to their leadership
· They are committed to several charities and helping the poor and giving love to those in need
· They ooze with confidence, power and somehow people believe they are “God Sent” angels of the world.
Here are the other FACTS that you might have never known about, if you did well just read on anyways:
· They were both oppressed by minority of white people, I say this because Obama was oppressed by McCain, who was rumoured to have said Obama was going to bring terrorists, made people question who was the real Barrack Obama, and that he was unknown character that just wanted to be voted in for presidency. And Madiba was oppressed by the apartheid government who tried to silence him. But despites the several attempts all parties failed as these two men succeeded to bring “Change” to the rather shattered souls yearning for it!
· I don’t know if you will remember this, but in 1990, Mandela shoe accidentally slipped off as he was making his first walk into the public and we were left exposed to his hole-ly socks. And recently I bumped into several pics of Obama and one in particular showed him with his feet on the table and surprise surprise his shoes have holes underneath them.
