"His real name was Nwozuzu Nwachukwu (or something like that). He got the nick name 'Killi We' after a fight with a certain man. Story has it that the man refused to pay him for his services as a truck pusher. Nwachukwu then carried the man's goods from either the market or bus stop (I can't really say) to the man's house.

After dropping off the goods, the man refused to pay claiming the charge was too high. He tried to walk away and Nwachukwu grabbed him by the hand insisting he must pay. A fight ensued and he pinned the man to the ground.

The man's wife came with a wooden pestle to assist her husband. Nwachukwu snatched it from her, lifted the woman up and pinned her on top of her husband on the floor. Powerless, she started screaming, "Killi we Nwachukwu, Killi we Nwachukwu" meaning, 'Nwachukwu, Kill us'"

I know this man, he was the strongest man in Africa then.

Killi we nwachuku the single bone man of the old.

O boy I know the name Kiliwe Nwachukwu but am just knowing the story behind the name .... funny

Today we don't need to do all these crazy stunts to proof how strong we are. There's an app for it. Photoshop.

But sha, this dude must have such strong bones to support the weight of 5 male adults. That's almost like carrying 3 baby elephants! Simply incredible I must say.

Lol, nwachukwu killiwee today.

Now I know the story behind the glory.
When we were growing up, I remember mum calling my sister killi we Nwachukwu.
That girl is a fighter and revolutionalist.
