Baltasar Ebang, a prominent Equatorial Guinea minister, has publicly apologized following the leak of over 400 videos of him having ünprotected $ex with several high-profile women in the country.
In a heartfelt message shared online, Ebang expressed remorse for his actions, acknowledging the pain and disgrace his behavior has caused to his family, the women involved, and the public.
He said:
“I drop these words with deep pain from my heart for the shame I brought upon my family, the women involved, and everyone who holds me in high esteem.
I have realized there is more to life than the pleasures under the skirts of a woman, little wonder King Solomon called it vanity upon vanity after his mileage with 1,000 women.
I don’t justify my actions but take responsibility for the scars I would leave on my loved ones for a long period of time.
To the youths out there who prioritize pleasure, please learn from my fall. It’s not a fall of glory but a fall of shame. Do not be like me—unimagine me from your head, please.
To my loving wife, I am sorry I let you down. To my kids, Daddy loves you forever.
If you don’t see me again, remember my name in history, not as a man who pulled off many pants but as a man brought down by many pants pulled off.
I am sorry, viewers.”
The apology has sparked widespread debate online, with many questioning the minister’s judgment and the societal implications of such a scandal.
