Incredible! A rich white man, Wallace Turnquist recently purchased Ezekiel Akpu-nku from Nigeria as a playmate and servant for this 13-year-old son, Skyler.

“Last year I took Sky on a hunting safari to Africa and he was delighted by the African people,” Wallace Turnquist told WSB-TV.

“How funny they were, how the were always smiling and so eager to please. At first he just wanted to take one, but I told him kidnapping was illegal. So instead, I bought him one.”

Since slavery and human trafficking are illegal, Turnquist gave Ezekiel a five year employment contract that pays $1,000 per year plus room/board, one day off per month and unlimited snacks. Ezekiel’s contract states that he must do whatever Skyler tells him to do so long as it is not illegal.
“This one time I made him stand on one foot for the entire day,” Skyler Turnquist said. “I also made him eat a spider. He does whatever I say. He’s the best toy ever.”
“I’m very happy to be Skyler’s toy, ” Akpu-nku said. “In Africa I was starving, here, in the land of opportunity, my belly never go hungry.”

Turnquist said Skyler already wants another “African toy” but his father has said no this time.
“I don’t want Sky getting spoiled. If I buy him another African, he’ll just want more. I think owning one African is enough.”

Human trafficking is a multi-million pound business, with victims often ending up in the sex trade. (bawso.org.uk)Global estimates say there are between 20 and 30 million men, women and children trapped in slavery all over the world(Bawso)

A hoax story about a rich father from Atlanta who bought an African man as a toy for his 13-year-old son has sparked outrage in Nigeria.

The news was reported by Stuppid.com, a website notorious for its hoaxes and satirical news stories.

The latest report concerns Wallace Turnquist, a supposed wealthy American who went on a hunting safari to Africa with his son Skyler in 2014.

The story claims that during the safari tour Skyler found the local people "funny", and Wallace bought Ezekiel Akpu-nku from Nigeria as a human toy.

This story is as bogus as terror gang leader Buhari's recurrent presidential ambitions.

If at all a man residing in America was considering hiring an African as house help, he would engage a young and sexy woman, and NOT an old man.

No man will hire any hard-head old man into his house to interact with his children for ANY purpose.

Come on, this story is not believable in any respect. A thousand dollars per annum? So what does he send home? If at all he visits home, what would the money do after he has purchased a ticket? Can he marry or pose like our people do, that he is working 'abroad'? Or support a family? I think people are just to eager to type responses without the barest minimum of thought. Our situation is not good for sure, but we make it worse by refusing to think critically.
