They placed bouquets before full-length paintings of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and paid tribute to them.

The chairman of the Nigeria-Korea Friendship Association said:

The successes achieved by the DPRK under the wise leadership of HE Kim Jong Il win admiration of many people of the world.

The DPRK has invariably advanced along its own road despite any moves of the U.S. and the West thanks to the dear respected Kim Jong Un, creditable successor to the idea and cause of Kim Jong Il.

The balance of forces of the world has been kept thanks to the DPRK.

The DPRK is the only country in the world which bars the U.S. from behaving arbitrarily.

I would like to extend profound thanks to Kim Jong Un on behalf of progressive mankind.
