RIP

Seven days morn just for a mere prisoner and a thief?
Okay

Let the hypocrite ring and rant for all I care....
A great ijaw prince is dead
A man who got the chance to touch the life of Bayelsa....
He built a data centre in Yenogoa making ICT prominent in his state.
He did touch lives - most times got involved in negotiation of kidnapped victims because he saw what foreign investment will do to his people - I remember when he screamed out that the expatriates were the ones kidnapping themselves.
A great man died people don't let the wicked press and blind chorus leaders deny his true virtue...

Go in peace my friend
