"I used to get trolled and got to the point where I was even receiving threats online. This was because I seldom missed any chance to engage in tweets that focused on anything music or sports-related. But the peak of it all was when I lost my account with 30k followers," the young graduate recalls.

However, Richard who is better known as Two Terty or Aboa Banku decided not to give up but rather bounce back after realizing the potential that lies in the online space.
