“Above all, I’m keeping our true leaders and patriots in prayer. May M’JUA MKUU keep them safe in a country where abductions and killings have become a chilling reality.
And as for Wi-Lucifer—my only prayer is that he stays alive long enough to witness the day we transform this nation.
History needs witnesses. Even the villains need front-row seats.”
