He was the special guest on The Sports Parliament, the weekly diet of the best entertaining and educative sports conversation on Africa\u2019s largest television network, the NTA. For a man who turned 72 only a few days ago, one who had gone through some of the best and worst experiences in his sports career in a country he loves with all his heart and has demonstrated it throughout almost five decades of a staggered relationship with Nigeria, Lee was looking very good, young and fresh, his clean-shaven head making him look even ten years younger, and his face obviously not reflecting the anguish he has passed through these past 5 years, in particular. But that\u2019s an issue for another day for I will not go into the meat of his travails in Nigeria in this period. Unrelentingly though, he has vowed to remain in the country and fight his cause with his last breath till he finds justice, clears his name and restores his hard-earned reputation. In an environment with people that had no appreciation of his history and his accomplishments, ignorant of his global worth, jealous of the recognition and the assignment given to him, out of jealousy they set out to ruin the global reputation of a most illustrious Black man that did so much for Nigeria, Africa and the Black race during a period when I was a personal witness."}
