You are so freaking dumb. Like I said earlier, if you have law firm wouldn't you have clients. Think of those investmentors as GIP clients.
Don't be stubbornly stupid.

Throwback:


Inferiority Complex has really bastardized their collective psyche.

An Igboman does not want to hear that another man's farm from another tribe is bigger than his own.

He immediately becomes overcome with pain, agony, and sorrow.

This same bitter fellow was so distraught with agony about the nairaland topic on retail supermarket ownership in Nigeria.
