Mbɛlɛsem@abban
when ple were running for their lives you were filming the explosions? hmmmmm i cant think far. May his soul rest in peace. I hope ple will take care of their lives.
It is a good gesture, but why wouldn't you personally pay for the funeral cost of all who died, but only for this journalist for political reasons. If you are really father for all then foot the costs on all five dead persons, that is where you are proving your worth as father for all. Are you doing this for journalist to keep quiet from critiquing the rot in your infant government?
