NwamaziNwaAro:Legendary musicians take pride in describing themselves as 'kings', and their residence, their palace. 'King' Sunny Ade, 'King' Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, etc... This has nothing to do with a particular people or state. 3 Likes |

Enemyofpeace: Google Willy Onyeabor, the fact Nigerians do not honour or celebrate national hero's does not mean others don't.. William O was a man ahead of his time... 2 Likes |
