Our Heroes are dying

In the space of a week, the sporting world has lost Muhammed Ali (World renowed boxer) and , Kimbo Slice (MMA Fighter -UFC) and Stephen Keshi (Ex-Nigerian Football Team Coach. Half the year hasn’t even gone and we’ve lost other iconic figures including Harper Lee (Writer), Prince (Musician), Alan Rickman (Actor), David Bowie (Musician), Afeni Shakur (Political Activist) and the list goes on, to family and friends inclusive. All these people displayed acts for us to remember, precedents for us to aspire to achieve and made way for us to continue. They are our heroes in various interests and they are no more.

May they rest in perfect peace.

'Oh! I didn't know, you didn't tell me now.'
'You didn't tell me you died.'

Okay the last one is extreme, but you get my point. Anyway, I left Nigeria just over 3 weeks ago and it's been a lot of 'You left?' 'No bye?' and all that stuff, and well quite frankly, I've not felt a single atom of guilt. HOWEVER... last week, someone messaged me saying...
