  1. I hope they put him in debtor jail, the idiot! His untrain animals that call themselves security guards almost shot me, my cousin and two friends to death because we stopped to admire his house and wanted to take pictures of it to dispel the myths here in the States that all Africans live in mud huts. They never said we couldn't, they just started running towards us aiming their guns.

  2. And this guy is now lobbying with Jonathan for a ministerial position. will be totally disappointed if he is given any position.

    This animal had the nigerian police raid a media house and had all the employees there arrested because they are trying to publish his court cases he has with the banks he owed. so what isjournalism then if they can't publish some news.

  3. Why would you want to take a picture of someone's house without his permission.How is he to know that you are not working with armed robbers.I live in the US too-if someone stands outside my house trying to take pictures of it-dont you think I would confront him?
