Statement on Oloimina’s Protection
For the protection of Oloimina, the Black Rockers Foundation (BRF) will not be directly involved at this stage.
If we decide to re-engage or restore operations, a series of non-negotiable demands must first be fulfilled by the county authorities. Also, all withheld videos of Oloshipa, currently in possession of certain Masai Mara guides, must be released without delay.
Several good-hearted Chinese friends have come forward to support Oloimina. We deeply thank them for their compassion and continued help in funding previous search operations. Any field updates we receive will remain within the private donor group, unless shared directly by sponsors.
It’s vital to remember that BRF was never created for a single lion. Our mission is to protect every lion in the Mara through a KPI-based incentive system that rewards guides for genuine conservation actions.
We will only return to active field work if tangible actions are taken by authorities. Until then, BRF will continue to share verified information and uphold transparency.
We also strongly condemn the actions of Taiwanese national Yuki Tseng and her associates for their manipulative acts in the Mara — exploiting wildlife enthusiasts from China and beyond for personal gain. Accountability will come, sooner or later.
Our withdrawal from the Mara does not mean we have stopped watching. But with corruption deep-rooted and certain guides showing no regard for conservation values, it’s nearly impossible for a small, self-funded foundation to operate without consistent donor support.
Simply watching posts without contributing real effort helps neither lions nor communities. Yet some still demand action while doing nothing themselves — this is both disappointing and harmful to true conservation.

BRB Lorkulup 🦁 | Truth Doesn’t Stay Buried Forever
I’ve stayed silent for a reason — not because I gave up, but because I was still watching every move. Many thought I was “bought off.” Let me be clear — I wasn’t. I simply refused to keep playing in the circus called the Masai Mara, a stage now run by a Taiwanese-Paraguayan Mafia Network under Yuki Tseng, Cristina Chang, Elena (Cheetah Conservation Projects), Alana M, and their social-media backer Anthony Porini.
These people have poisoned the spirit of conservation — turning tragedy into business, protecting illegal cattle grazers, and feeding lies to well-meaning donors, especially from China. The money meant for lions is being laundered through fake “compensation” claims. Even their own fixer, Daniel Sikona, betrayed his own community — using a donated TV for himself and monetizing from a public water well meant to serve the villagers.
Now, the truth about Lorkulup’s death:
He had just made a kill near Tipilkwani when cows belonging to the Sayiel family entered the reserve. He felt offended and charged the cows as they got very closer, the herders called their boss — who rammed Lorkulup with a vehicle, paralyzing him, before two Tanzanian herders speared him. Wounded, he tried to flee but collapsed after a few steps. Rangers found the body, photographed it, and reported to the Talek Warden, who then removed the spear and staged the scene to make it look like an Eland killed him.
I know exactly what happened.
But this time, BRF will not re-enter this manipulated arena.
Because when corruption controls conservation, silence becomes resistance.
And even if I step back — truth will still roar. More coming.
