Dear Chidi,
That's why the correct translation of Allahu Akbar is God is most great!
Professor Toyin Falola's generosity of spirit, especially in his eulogies which sometimes move the heart; and I may have read hundred of secular eulogies but still know of no better eulogist than him when it comes to expressing love and appreciation for other lives well-lived and a few true ideals taking a lifetime in fulfilling and up to the die-time still embracing - that sensibility is in accord with Ubuntu philosophy.
