    The guy was caught up in a web of lies. You have published the lies with no due diligence. This is the reason black Africans don’t progress. You don’t believe in accountability and due diligence.

    you are right because he had a questionable life story and this is what happens when we put race ahead of everything. logic and common sense go out of the window.

    Very unfortunate. But looking at what he achieved with in this short space, he has done well but failed to train his mind and heart to accept betrayal and disappoint. May his soul rest in peace
