It seems like the Facebook 'banter' between, award-winning journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni and an unknown user who has 'Nana Kwame' as the username has got out of hand and may have even cost Manasseh Azure his Facebook account.

A search for Azure's Facebook profile early Friday showed no results meaning his account may have been blocked.

While the search showed "We couldn't find anything for manasseh azure awuni" on the web, it showed "content not available" on mobile.

It is not yet known the actual reason why Azure's profile is not showing in the search. 

Manasseh Azure Awuni has been trending on social media since Tuesday for after comments he made concerning the 5th Africa CEOs Forum which was being held in Geneva, Switzerland elicited some punchy response from the said 'Nana Kwame'.

"Why is the Africa CEOs conference being held in Europe? The over 1000 participants will book hotels, eat, shop and move around. So much cash will be invested in Geneva. Why not an African city? Is this rocket science or common sense? Or something I am missing?", Azure wrote on his wall.

But Nana Kwame commented on the post asking:

"Why did you choose to do your wedding at Aburi gardens and not your local village, where otabil and others could see the deprived nature of your people. And use your wedding to inspire the up and coming youth to aim high like u. Probably that local plantain sellers goods could be purchased by the city dwellers. Is this rocket science or common sense or something I am missing??", he replied.

Nana Kwame's punchline of reply went viral with many screenshots of the post being circulated across various social media platforms in a bid to troll Manasseh Azure.

Azure responded to Nana Kwame's reply describing it as an "illogical comment that went viral" with Nana Kwame also responding that his comment was not meant as an attack on Azure's person but to point out to him that he was wrong and that he still had respect for him.

But it seems like the trolling was too much for who started blocking the trollers with many complaining that he was being intolerant.

Thus it could be that Azure himself, could have deactivated his account for the time being to allow the issue die a natural death or Facebook may have received several petitions to against his account and may have gone ahead to block him.
