@tontolet I am sorry but it’s time we switched up on these debtors!
Other club owners won’t say anything cos they are still in the business but I’m out and never going back so I will take this for the rest of us that can’t speak!
Footballers, musicians, Big Brother housemates, politicians and even slay queens.
I’m coming for all of you, cos April 1st is a day for fools!”

The outburst which has also been shared on the night club’s Instagram page, where he shared that the debtors’ list would be published on April 1.
“Everyone always said, ‘Save the relationship, don’t expose your customers’. So we kept quiet till finally, we couldn’t sustain the club anymore so we had to close the business! These people that owed us didn’t want us to survive. These people didn’t want us to be able to pay staff salaries. These people put over 80 families without a source of income because, we had to shut down!
@tiwasavage has said it all now it’s time to break this table and let everyone know who these wicked people are!”
