Lalasticlala I can't keep calm because today is for the greatest ever in African Literature. Iya Basirat said that the only reason she sells 'extra' in her bukka is to help the customer when the main plate does not do justice to the hunger in his belly. Permit me OP to do just a small 'extra' to your somewhat watery biography of my all-time hero. Or maybe I'd do it in my diary 26 Likes 2 Shares |
