Muhammad Ali could be dead in days –Brother

Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali is so ill he could be dead within days, his brother has warned. Rahman Ali said the former heavyweight champion cannot speak and no longer recognises him.

Rahman fears his 71-year-old brother – known as The Greatest – may not survive the summer.

“He’s in a bad way. He’s very sick.

“It could be months, it could be days. I don’t know if he’ll last the summer. He’s in God’s hands.”

Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1984 but remained active for many years and made a moving appearance at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games where he lit the flame.

However, he was seen looking particularly thin and frail at the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony where he was helped across the stage by wife Lonnie. Rahman has accused his sister-in-law, who has been married to Ali for 26 years, of refusing to let the family visit the ailing champion.

Rahman, who was also a professional boxer, said he last saw his brother in July at the Sports for Peace Gala in London and is only allowed to speak to him over the phone.

The brothers, born Cassius and Rudolph Clay, grew up together in Louisville, Kentucky.

Ali’s most recent public health scare was December, 2011, when the champion was taken to hospital after falling unconscious. Emergency services were called days after Ali made a frail appearance at the funeral of fellow boxing great Joe Frazier.

Things that happen in 9Ja!

This story is quite shocking i need you to read carefully, you might be shaking your head uncontrollably as i am!

It really happened last week! Will update y'all on this incident!

Quoting a friend: (Last Week)

 Honestly, there are things you hear about this country and just wish you can change being a Nigerian when you think you can't change certain things immediately.

 A young guy in my neighborhood who is a driver plying Kano-Lagos was shot on the head between Okene and Lokoja in Kogi State by Armed Robbers. The hospital he was taken to in Lokoja confirmed the bullet was still in his head and since he could not afford the money for the surgery, he was sent out of the hospital. With the bullet in his skull, he returned to Kano over a week ago.

 He was taken to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital here where they also confirmed the bullet to still be in his head.
