ReplyDeleteSir Akinyele.....lover of foreign women
ReplyDeleteAh! Sir Alex Akinyele is dead? Eeyaaa.
ReplyDeleteI remember many years back, I was going to school and at a newspaper stand, I saw a captivating headline on a certain magazine: "With my first wife, I could fight a lion, with my second wife, I couldn't face a dead rat".
I bought the paper sharp sharp with my lunch money, that was the first time I read anything about this man. It was an interesting interview.
RIP Papa.
May God rest his beautiful soul....🙏🏿
ReplyDeleteI remember him as a man that loved beautiful women,I don't think he ever married a Nigerian.Am not sure, but I think one was a south African and the other one an Indian.but he was really really handsome in those days..RIP
