"What another waste of a generation! My friend whom we were not just school mates but class mates back then in our secondary school days, to them life must be taking out of him not because of any other obvious reason but because he was a rival CULT MEMBER, pls folks I have been saying this time without numbers, let's ensure we dissociate our self's from any CULTISM related activities because the end result is always very pathetic! REST IN PEACE " Irale Obas we shall meet to part no me. # saynoto cultism"
