So 2 days ago I was going through my facebook, you know just to catch up with what was going on in my 'friends' lives. I noticed that one name that kept popping up in updates was Fauster Atta Mensah. Apparently this guy had done something interesting that got people talking about him so I consulted my very good friend Google to know what was going on.
What I found out got me bursting out with so much laughter, because as serious as the guy's actions were, you couldn't help but find humour in the whole situation.
So this guy, Fauster Atta Mensah decided to get creative, very creative by imagining and bringing to life the perfect world he so craved for.
Apparently he was able to fool the Ghana's national TV station, GTV into believing that he was a Nobel Prize Laureate. This fake claim got him featured in one of the TV stations programs which interviews distinguished Ghanaians.
In the Interview he talked about his many achievements which have all turned out to be a BIG lie. You'd be surprised at how far he went to make people believe his false claims.
-He set up a CNN account, fake CNN account that is
-He created a wordpress post about himself winning the Nobel Award
-He set up a profile at academia.edu talking about his imagined success.
He also set a profile at OmgGhana.com announcing himself as the youngest Nobel Prize Laureate.

Infact GTV and the Government of Ghana were so proud of his 'achievements' that they posted the video all over the internet describing him as the first Ghanaian to have won the much coveted award.
He even fooled the church of pentecost when they celebrated him at their annual national conference.
Apparently, the truth came to light when MIT contacted the station that they had no alumni who goes by Fauster Atta Mensah who had won a Nobel Prize.

Abeg.... MIT didn't go and contact the station biaa! The people you've been reading from on Facebook, some of those are the ones who contacted GTV.
ReplyDeleteI read from somewhere that MIT contacted the station.
Deletelol.
ReplyDeleteLOL ah??? He needs to be diagnosed for Dissociative Identity Disorder cos the lengths he went to carve this identity is abnormal. Maybe he acc believes he is a Noble Prize Laureat. & fyi, Kofi Annan is a Noble Prize Laureat.
ReplyDeleteIm surprised that anyone would fall for this ..I mean it looks so amateur, but then it's Ghana, I suppose this seems very convincing to them. - Nigerian

ReplyDeleteEeeeiii Ghanaians are good in adding extra lies to rumors, MIT was truly the last school he attended, Truly as a matter of Fact, Anas investigated and personally contacted the MIT, they admitted he obtained his Masters degree in Electronics and Mechatronics, and indeed did his graduate research work at NASA.
ReplyDeleteBut they further added the whole truth that, some among those pictures were really original but for the Space suits. And Jackets ones were photoshoped. Go to his facebook to have a look, He did also won some Awards too though, but Never a Nobel prize, As for the Nobel he Fauster lied, he personally confessed it was not true, he came publicly to apologize to the pentecost church and that is why they issued a disclaimer for it.
IT would have been worst for this guy Fauster if the TV stations and News papers agencies should feature his whole story in their Major News, but the goverment stop them all, including the Radio stations and the Newspapers, and the Goverment wrote a removal defamation Law statement for people who pasted this into their website to be removed off by the end of October , BNI and the Cyber crime Bureau would sue anybody owing this sites for Character Assasination and defamation Law Charges, for the reasong being that the matter has been disolved for everybody make this kind of mistake some times in life and that of Fauster has not gone accoss dubing anyone for money or frauding anybody for money, it was just an immature lie, the Lawyers added that he has not killed nor steal anyone, but if there should be any further accusation, then it should come from either GBC or Pentecost but not individual with no indentity pasting anything on the net for the fact that he has already apologized for his petty mistake. Guys Let live his life for him, Even worst thing happen in USA and Europe, I love a verse Pentecost qoted that says : For He who is without a Sin should be the First to cast the first Stone, hahahah We are all Sinners guys.. Please To advice you just do away with this post online before the crazy and foolish Security agencies should strike you . I hope my comment wish you well then! (Efor Dela)
