Hmmmm.....it seems the legends are on roll call to the world beyond. Wole Soyinka; the master poet, confusionist to the unintelligent, exceptional to great minds. Anoda piece from the old source by a legend for a legend. O God...Muhammad Ali came like everyone but left like a god...Do not let me leave unnoticed 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nutase:you just insulted a great master piece, poems too complicated to be appreciated by less intelligent minds, babe u embarrassed urself with that comment, if shakespare gives such a poem out about an athele albeit how confusing and hard to understand it all sounds, no one in their right minds would stand so low as to make such a comment u just did, this is intelligence at it's peak, this is seeing their world from a different perspective, this is documenting a night of boxing like it was the most important day in history, this man is blessed and skilled, respect him, Nigerians should learn to respect and appreciate great things and people.. 5 Likes |

Real recognise real, Ali was and still is the Greatest, so strong and positive, believed so much in himself, he became an inspiration, he was rude, wild and lived his life but was happy for it, such people come out once in a life time, no wonder the whole blacks world wide respect and pay condolence to him, such realness, what a man. |
