Julius who is the first African recipient of the honour recounted, "I went to the Tupac Foundation in Atlanta and I saw the projects Tupac was working on before he died and what his Mum is presently doing there. I bought a Brick at the Tupac Foundation and my name was inscribed on it.
If you go to the Tupac Foundation in the USA, you will see my name on one of the Bricks there along with those of other superstars."
The Autobiography titled 'Tupac Shakur Legacy', the demised rapper's mum, Afeni Shakur wrote thus;
" Julius Agwu, Peace, Love, Respect. Se Alaafia Ni? We pray we will be able to come to home, Nigeria in the future. Help make our homeland safe. We are ever hopeful for African Peace and Prosperity. "
The book contains removable reproductions of handwritten lyrics, notebook pages, personal memorabilia and 'Tupac Shakur Speaks', a 60 minute CD featuring rare interviews with the late star.

"I am the only one who won the world's three most important leagues. So, maybe instead of the 'Special One', people should start calling me the 'Only One".
The 49year-old Real Madrid coach said this during an interview with Portuguese television channel SIC.
His achievements: he has won titles in Spain (once, with Real Madrid), Italy (twice, with Inter Milan) and England (twice, with Chelsea), and then Portugal (twice, with Porto).
Nicknamed the 'Special One' after he arrived at Chelsea in 2004, the likeable Portuguese continued,
"Things have been going well for me, thank God. I am focused on others much more these days. The pleasure of winning with Inter Milan was seeing a club which had not won for 50 years winning again. That is what entices me more and more, instead of pursuing individual goals."
Honestly I adore this man!

"I am sorry for him because he is here and not playing. But he has no chance of playing this season for us. It's important for him that he can find a good solution because he scored a lot of goals last season and he's a top striker.
I hope for him he can find a good solution very quickly." He stated.
The striker scored 14 goals in his first season at the club after his £25 million worth move from Arsenal and was loaned to Real Madrid.
Strikers like Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko have Mancini's green lights.
"I still have confidence in the four strikers. They scored 70 goals between them last season. They will all stay." He defended.
I am hoping our Nigerian female artistes will show more talent than the Olympic team, too bad there is no music competition in the Olympics. If there was, permit me to say that we would definitely come home with a medal.
