A wonderful article that accurately describes Fred. A fitting homage to your Uncle’s memory and the many futile attempts to convince him. Likely, as you say, this would have failed too. May his soul rest in peace!

Accept my deepest condolences.

Pastor Fred (as we call him on Nigerian twitter) is a special case. His heart is in the right place but his skillset limits him from being a world beater, but we will always appreciate his effort.

Wonderful article. Sorry for your loss. It did remind me of watching football with my dad and certain players he just takes a disliking to. 😂

Beautiful. I'm sure your uncle still wouldn't agree with you. Wish you best. May your uncle rest in peace.
