Below is what Banky W. has to say concerning the feud that doesn't look like is ending any time soon between the star boy, Wizkid and the OBO himself, Davido. "What's better than one billionaire?

A mud fight may seem like fun, but in the end, everyone just comes out looking like shit. Food for thought. #TheBankStatements Nobody wins when the #FamilyFeuds

Today, BBC News has reported that "experts" have said - "A dose of sugar given as a gel rubbed into the inside of the cheek is a cheap and effective way to protect premature babies against brain damage" This is why Muslims follow the practice of the prophet without questioning it. Science is only now discovering a tradition that was introduced 1436 years ago because Islam was and still in the forefront of development. Let this be known to all, especially Muslims that Islam is not a primitive religion.  SubhanAllah.....
