    Childish Foolishness. So a student can never learn beyond his former teacher? He should say something more sensible for once.

  • Frankiedonatusjudasarefools 1 year ago

    Do you know me, do you know who I am, you were my student, you are my boy etc are all signs of pride and indication that you are a failure.

    Kpebu could not put any reasonable debate. He is a fool
