"My dear friend Ifesi Fish Magnet, what happened to you? We spoke not long ago and I advised you to stop showing your car plate number in your videos. You thanked me and promised not to do that again.
"I bought fishes from you and asked you to send some and keep some until I buy more to add to it for my mum... The one you sent is still there, the one I asked you to keep is still there.
"What actually is your crime, my dear friend? I was thinking of calling you few days ago. Has it become a crime to hustle legitimately in this country? Ife! Ha! Ariri."
