I think you are over reacting

Good guy on stage, he was.

Rest in peace Olalekan Oladipupo.

My respect remains constant for all those folks out there why try to make ends meet in spite of staggering odds. You were one of them. May the good Lord grant your loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss.

I advise that people of 40 years and above should exercise, take lots of fruits and vegetables while not forgetting to go for regular check-ups.  The pressure on the average Nigerian adult is high and life expectancy is worsening.

Rest In Peace Lekkison

May his soul rest in peace

dont know him, RIP bro

wow RIP

Don't know if this dude ever travelled to all of those places he mentions in movies or he read about them,but what i do know is that this guy sure knows places! He must have read history in school going by how often he talks about obscure islands and islets and their rulers

RIP
