as friends and followers on the social media (facebook and twitter) attacked
him over his “rape joke” Sunday.

followers felt the joke he posted on his facebook account encourages rape, and
within a few hours it went viral, he was under severe criticism, with some
followers calling on telecommunications giant, Globacom, to terminate his deal
as an ambassador of the company.
