PEN MASTER’S 29 IBUSA INFLUENCERS OF 2017
PEN MASTER’S 29 IBUSA INFLUENCERS OF 2017
Relationship with the people of Ibusa can be very fantastic despite certain natural odds that are expected in every existing society. 2017 was an eventful year; full of results for our Ibusa community. Some of those figures with powers that affected her cannot be ignored. Typically, Pen Master has put together this compendium of figures that in his OWN OPINION influenced the community, one way or the other in different endeavours. Nonetheless, as read you this, bear in mind, that this is absolutely my personal judgment which is not in any way founded on the collective proof of the community or any other person dead or living. Note also that inclusions here may be derived from social media activities and this is purely an annual ritual of Pen Master, the fourth in series. Some figures in previous editions have either been retained or dropped with additions made depending on my compendious judgment. No single figure here was contacted prior to this compilation as it is purely my prerogative to give you this brief gist.
Enjoy yourself.
