I am an easy going individual who goes by the mantra, live and let live. I believe in the traditions and cultures of our fore-fathers. I am a Christian who believes that the foreign religion which we practice today was sold to us to condition and constrain out mindsets in exchange for political dominance and control. Although I am a Christian, I am unapologetically a traditionalist. Wonder how that makes sense. Lol My religion is humanity.

I have been a model and won one of those title thingies. Don't work out anymore, though. Currently a community leader, not so easy but the experience is worth it. There're still loads of amazing stuff in this head of mine which I don't know how to pen.

The political space has always been a cocoon for mediocre minds, out of which reverberates this eerie cacophony of ineptitude.
