He also made another visit to the country in 1979 for the inauguration of President Shehu Shagari.

True Legends are few and far between these days and it's because people like you set the bar so high. Talented, Idealistic, Bold, Handsome, Proud.
You took on the establishment, you stood for what you believed in. "You were indeed the greatest".

robosky02:
every top athlete must visit Nigeria or meet "Nigeria" to be complete

ask Maradonna, Messi and Ronaldinho
Yeah right
Tell that to the likes of Michael Jordan, Rafael Nadal, Tiger Woods and Lewis Hamilton who dont give a flying fùck about Nigeria and are as complete as it gets

Rumble in the Jungle: the war of words The pre-fight quotes and allusions to all-time greatness in its aftermath have become almost as well known a part of the famous 1974 fight with George Foreman as the eight rounds themselves. Here are some of the most memorable utterances from those present: “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee – his hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see.” – Ali in the pre-fight build-up “I done something new for this fight. I wrestled with an alligator. I tussled with a whale. I handcuffed lightning, I thrown thunder in jail. Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick. I’m so mean I make medicine sick.” – Ali in the pre-fight build-up “I won’t kid you. When he went to the ropes, I felt sick. Going into the fight, I thought Muhammad would win, but not that way.” – trainer Angelo Dundee “Ali, booma ye!” – chant from spectators (meaning “Ali, kill him”) . “That all you got, George? That all you got?” – Ali to Foreman during the fight. “He (Foreman) went over like a 6ft 60-year-old butler who has just heard tragic news” – Norman Mailer in his book, The Fight. “This is the most joyous scene … ever seen in the history of boxing.” – commentator David Frost “Muhammad amazed me, I’ll admit it. He out-thought me, he outfought me. That night, he was just the better man in the ring.” – Foreman “Now we know what happened which is why he was the greatest. It was beautiful.” – Dundee
