Before the death of my father, he had willed part of his Estate amounting ($16,500,000.00) (sixteen Million five hundred thousand united states dollars) to me but when I went to the Concerned Bank here in Dakar Senegal, I was shocked when the Manager of the Bank explained to me that I will not be able to withdraw from the money, because my father had a clause on the
will, that I will not should not be allowed to access the deposited fund not until I am 30 years or I present a foreigner who could lead me through with the investment of the funds outside Africa.
