Then he isn’t honestly trying to make the school a reality.
Yeah you're right otherwise the school would have been built years ago he's been doing this for almost 11 years now.

It's all a part of his grift so that he can extract more money from his followers.

He doesn't have any intentions of opening up the school the grand opening date that he had for fdmg came and went last year. No new date.

Why can't Umar be honest about the status of the school?

I would rather he keep it real, say he was in over his head, and offer to reimburse his donors with the money they donated...explained that he tried to get it up to code, it cost too much money than he knew what to do with, and apologize and work towards something in the future.

He can't even do that...he has to continue to lie and claim that there are investors in the property, even though it's not hot property in that specific part of Wilmington at all. Or claim he's selling one building to buy another one in Atlanta of Chicago or something.

Why does he do this?
:patrice:

To keep the grift going and to keep his image somewhat intact in the eyes of his followers as some responsible benevolent educator of young black boys...even though it's very obvious his own affairs are not in order.

Nah. Jalen had big funders because he had a plan worth investing in. He wasn’t air hustling and trying to use his charisma as a replacement for a workable budget.

plan had to exist
some plans are easier to implement than others

People have posted in other threads examples of black men starting schools that didn't get the type of donations that someone of Jalen's stature was able to get.
sadly, schools being posted not to gain support for them but to solely ridicule another Blackman's effort, despite none having similar goals

What effort is he making?

Has he talked about his budget? Business plan? Talked about the people he's working with to make this actually happen?

All I've heard is I need donations to buy a building.

Once I buy the building I'll need free/cheap labor to renovate.

Then I'll need donations for desks and other furniture.

he has, thus why you know about his request free/cheap labor because he didn't have enough
what's funny is the moment he find white investors, then that will be used against him because of his pro-Black stance by Black folks
