He is currently a certified fitness trainer in Germany, where he has lived for close to nine years.<\/p>\n<p>The former INBA Mr Universe was wrongly pronounced dead in 2018 after relocating to Germany, where he was briefly imprisoned on what the story describes as trumped-up rape charges. Since marrying Victoria, he has settled in well with his family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m enjoying the greatest happiness!

Sometimes I find myself asking God, &#8220;Lord, why do You love me so much? Why have You shown me so much grace and mercy?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I can do is remain grateful, because His love, faithfulness, and blessings are beyond anything I could ever have imagined.
