It was the wonder of his career that this adopted son who spoke a heavily Teutonic-flavored English and shaped his musical style after the Italians managed to leave his bulky imprint on England as no composer before or since. When he was buried with regal pomp in Westminster Abbey in 1759, 3,000 people attended the ceremony, and the press reminded its readers that Handel was to music what "Mr. Pope was in poetry."

This was hardly what the settlers demonstrated...
Just what sort of future Nigeria actually has will largely depend upon the regal host of last week's durbar, the aristocratic Premier of the Northern Region, Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto. Since Nigeria is the most populous (35 million) of Britain's African territories, whoever becomes its first federal Prime Minister after independence is potentially the most important politician in Africa.
