Street dons simply don't live long! They hardly live long! They live like kings, but die like a nobody. Sometimes, they even die the way ants die! ... I grew up in Oshodi area, and I can count more than 50 street dons who have been 'dropped' untimely like that usually in unwarranted rivalry wars in such a gory manner. It is a matter of choice anyway. That was Hamburger's choice. That was his choice..." - Olukayode Salako.
