  • Jimbo 1 day ago

    You might be right. That could be the reason why he named his son other than that, the mother might have given him a local Ewe traditional surname.

    Correct. Ms Agbotui was jumping from bed to bed with foreigners looking for a way out she didn't know who the father was. She tried to pin it on this guy but the facial features alone reveal this is not the father
