This is a very beautiful quote. I guess the man either runs his own business or is skilled at what he does. Many corporations will dump him for the act without a second thought. A friend of mine’s dad did the same about ten years ago when he eventually realized working for himself meant he could dress however he wanted. His suit and tie filled drawers have made way for the Ijaw styled dressing reminiscent of GEJ’s tenure.
