The price rumored to be $700k after haggling with Mère Amazone. Apparently the place is falling into distress, and Koffi wants to perseve it and make into a museum of sorts.
My friend graciously took me to Wemba's (RIP) house a few years ago. Really, really nice house design by him and the amount of awards and picture with famous people was astounding.
Man, the amount of negative stories I've heard about Mère Amazone shocks me; it's like everyone in Kin has something bad to say about her.
