Happy birthday. You may not believe in my God but I call down his blessings on you, for you are a great blessing to our nation and world. The courage, the art, the individuality, championing of others' causes when you have nothing to gain... I don't always like your approach, but you have fortitude and integrity. Lion and Jewel, I bow.

Linda why on earth did you not post my comments, BC I talked about the issue of secret cults. Read Buchi's Cease Fire, you will know what cult has done to our young men and women. Pls post my comment.

Happy Birthday to an internationally recognised Nigerian who's recognised as one of the good things/people to come out of Nigeria.
Anon July 14, 2012 1:38 PM; Prof has always said when he started NAS it started as a social thing and not the way Universities have bastardised it. He always condemns cultism in Universities.
