Even though they did not really open arms to me, He made a move that I never expected from a Celebrity that does not know me at all and he also gave me his contact to follow up. He is indeed a great man Happy birthday sir @officialkeppyekpenyong I wish you long life and prosperity. May doors if opportunities continue to open for you and your family.”
