Nigerians have very thick skin (the literal translation of this saying, not the figurative one). See Vic Richards. Thick skin isn't good to have when you're trying to bring as much detail out as possible. He looks great but lacks the ability to get to where he needs to to do Olympia level damage.
I beg to differ. Some here would dare to say that "Lionel" is simply the man's slave name and that his true name is doubtless something that begins with De, An, Mo, or Fo or a combination thereof. But that is only true for the less educated amongst the Blacks of the World (aka: BLoW), i.e., Americans of African descent. Lionel is neither American nor African.
The name "Lionel" is actually from the ancient Egyptian word for "train" or as it was pronounced in that glorious non-whitey world, "
chooch'ooo". If you were to place a regal "Nemes" upon this god like being of ebonized grandeur, he would give you a glimpse of just what the Sphinx once looked like before whitey shot off the nose in a fit of jealousy only matched by the caucasional's resentment of the Nile God's blessing upon the Black Man by giving them the largest penises (outside the Blue Whale and the African Elephant -note: Indian Elephants have the second smallest penis in the animal kingdom. Only the so-called "Great" Panda of China has a smaller, "AHEM!", wang) in the world . True dat.
Now back to what I am certain you would condescendingly call, "white lies".
Lionel looks great. Notice how he smiles when he poses. This as opposed to the greater majority of bodybuilders that look as though they are straining to give birth to a gigantic poo. I hope he continues to train hard and does well in both bodybuilding and life.
