Heysis, I have forgiven you, long since but you know KARMA doesn’t forgive easily. They asked you about your first film and you said it was produced by ‘a friend,’ thanked God am not also tagged “a Yahoo friend.” You even told Ify Okeke that my name sounds familiar, for real? I quit because of the pains and loss you caused me (N2m loss in one film, you know the details). I went bankrupt, you never even looked out for me for the 5yers I was in exile in New York”.
