Senior man... Once you jam this man for road, just know say you don jam problem


Happy birthday sir

One of the Legend when wokeness never start.
Growing up he was like the "superman" of Movies and as kids we would try to emulate him during our Yard acting.

Still looking so young and agile. He obviously lived a life free of drugs and alcohol. Hbd sir

.....

For Busy Readers:

Did anyone else pay attention to the part where he introduced himself as Alhaji...? Yet he went to a church for thanksgiving. Based on my observations, the Yoruba people seem to be the most religiously tolerant.

He was born into a Muslim Family and I think grew up as a Muslim and most likely converted to Christianity later on.
