Someone with $150 million as net worth murdered by one man right in his home in such a gruesome manner.
That can't even happen to a billionaire in Nigeria.

He was a threat to US tech Billionaires. He was rising at a fast pace. Fear human beings. This form of wickedness dosent happen only in Nigeria. It happens with all humans be u white or black. That's why I laugh when people criticise Nigerians for their wicked acts. Envy is d root of wickedness. All humans exhibit it. Rip great chap.

The Brutal Killing of this young man explains the Wickedness of This Generation...

How do a Human being pieces his fellow human..

This is a Generation that Drinks Wickedness

It's not about Africa... This barbaric act happened right in New York.

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.


The Worst that could happen to Man/Woman is to Have all that life can offer and Depart this Earth without JESUS Christ...



This Generation needs JESUS

Op what exactly are u trying to prove? That it wasn’t over a business deal or that he didn’t need external investment for gokada?

This doesn’t still mean he didn’t have investors.
