From a banker in Kenya to a cleaner in London, to losing his brother. What happened? | LNN

What would make a man with a well-paying job, a beautiful family, a daughter he had just adopted and great future plans jump all the way from the 17th Floor, taking his own life?
Did he Jump or was he pushed?
We might never know, however on this episode of LNS, the late Stephen Mumbo's brother George Waore is speaking for the first time about his brother's life as he also takes us through his own hard life in the UK and why he quit his well paying job in Kenya to start from scratch in London
He will also take us deeper into what kind of a man Steve was, why he doubts he jumped and how he wants people to remember him

Thank you George for highlighting and summarising life in the UK so well in such few words! Our families back home have too much expectations for us and have no idea how life is in the UK! George, his lovely wife Catherine and their children are the most amazing family I know! Thank you for being a voice for your brother. I pray that someone somewhere shades light to what really happened to him.🙏

[@a.r1832]

I almost thought George was talking about Canada. It isn't different over here. When many of us moved from Jamaica to Canada it was more than a culture shock. You won't get the same professional job you had in your country of birth unless you've had the opportunity to be taken under the wings of some of your own people already living in the diaspora and, who are already established in the same profession. You'll have to start all over again, working from the bottom up. The good thing however is that you'll get there eventually after you have been established. There are usually two options: you can either work for someone thereafter or, start your own business.

Let me leave my comment here. I once worked in a property mgt company I almost lost my mind everyday I would end up worked out ,and pass out when I just get home and will wake up the next morning.Some jobs especially where your mind is totally getting exhausted can easily make you mentally unstable.I just woke up one day and I didn't even issue my resignation I said am not gonna report to work coz the workload is killing me,I better earn just enough to survive rather than earn more and end up mentally ill.I left that work the manager kept begging me to go since I was among the best perfect workers,they even wanted to add my pay but I said no.I choose my peace ✌️ than money .I learned to say no to toxic work environments .I quit without apologies and even don't care about the pay. Let's learn to say no where our minds are extremely exhausted..Its hard to go back to normal once the mental state deteriorates.

I’m deeply sorry for the loss of your brother. Please don’t crucify me about me comment. When the brother spoke of having mental challenges, he may have been having paranoid delusions when he said that people were after him. Countless people around the world with serious mental issues unmanaged have killed themselves especially if their work or home environment is not supportive. In this case the work may have pushed him over the edge. He agreed and made plans for the week ahead….. was he now on autopilot? It does happen. Depression doesn’t always present itself as chaos. Sometimes it comes looking very neat and with a smiling face but with turmoil underneath. He could have been having high functioning mental illness . I’m so so sorry.

@@mwendapoleee how can they explain about no fingerprint at a crime scene !NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE . Suicide or not the crime scene was supposed to have few fingure prints of the people who been there . NO WAY STEVEN OPENED THE WINDOW WITHOUT LEAVING A FINGURE PRINTS (SO ITS A COVER UP ON MY PERSONAL OPINION , and iam not saying it must be a cover up but it sure looks and sound like it .

[@katiesilvester3300]

@@mwendapoleee since he was holding a very sensitive information . There is percentage of probability about the incident being a murder , having no fingureprint means that room was cleaned up very quickly . Or the person who wore gloves was the one opening the window glass and he was pushed . Although suicide can also be an option but we cant remove the chance that it could have been a murder . He was too smart iam sure he would have leave a note for farewell and make sure the family had closure .

The problem is when we put our jobs above everything imagine working 20 hrs a day and you have a family even God who owns us does not get that much its evil remember what God wanted to do When the israelites turned against God and worshipped idols ,He wanted to wipe them all out!Thats why we can't even hear our inner voice or instinct that its not right to sacrifice all that time for a job which somebody else can do and no money is worth your time cause its priceless.Life is priceless!Imagine this guy had quit that job realizing its too toxic for him and gotten a much better environment to work in what wonderful thing he would have done.But on the other hand we have to learn to say No!
