  • 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.🙏

      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.

Thank you for reminding us to slow down and be a little nicer to people as it does not cost anything. I was at your wedding and was trying to see if I will see myself in the photos.

And the sacrifice of sending money home to support our family should not be taken for granted. My deepest condolences to Mr George and his loving family. The Lord's promise of Resurrection is a great Hope to Belivers. Lynn, thank you immensely for being a great presenter, friend and daughter. You have made me a Kenyan!

    Besides of social media rumours, now is his brother,it could be great if the wife can be given a chance to speak of his husband last moments behaviours since she was closest at that time, to my view this guy needed just a push to make his decision of leaving the job,I mean like from the wife or brother,I remember I was facing the same problem, doing my job so passionately to make the company keep going and one day I realized am developing panic attacks every time I was at work,but when I shared with my mum , she sensed danger, she advised me to resign asap and take break, guess what? After my resignation that night I had my best sleep and my peace of mind was restored..

      I concur absolutely. There are too many layers leading up to his demise. He was described as very intelligent from a young age, an over achiever. I really wonder how much he felt he had to do after his dad died, also he wasn't able to grieve him well. Over achievers also tend to have a heap of expectations hanging over their head from all corners. My heart goes out to George and his family. May they one day find the closure they need and deserve.

    George and the late Steve are my cousins. Steve's death issue is one that I always say; "I don't know" is the plausible answer to anyone asking questions. Be that as it may, I still admire his way of handling issues and having his way with almost everything, even in death. Steve was an intelligent chap by any other definition.

    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. You start sinking.May Steve rest in perfect peace.And may those who had a hand in death never find peace . Justice will prevail

How is it even allowed for staff to leave at midnight and be back at their desks my six a.m. in the morning? There was a lady who claimed she witnessed the incident from the next building and swears he was pushed and he went down throwing his hands in the air like one resisting. Audit is very very sensitive. It was also curious how quickly the employer implicated the home situation as culprit.

    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.
