Death: If you fear, one day, death will take you. If you are bold, one day death will take you. If you fear of death, and you refuse to fight for the rights of the poor because of being kill, one day, death will kill you by himself. If you are rich, and you refuse to use your richness to defend the poor masses, the messengers of death will first waste your riches and finally blow you. If you are in position today to help the masses, do so, tomoRrow may be too late. 1 Like |

The story is not true. Akhigbe is alive. The truth is that he was sick and came back home two months back and recently fall sick again. I have received over 40 calls today about this story. I do not know where naija journalist got this fake news from. Anyway, he is sick but not dead. Pls removed this story from the front page. |
