The same thing happened in Nigerian Army thread where a woman by user Id ritawine came and started causing commotion until my oga Obinoscopy had to ban her from the thread. So young lady I have to save my strength and prepare for the aptitude test. All the same I wish you the best of luck in your career pursuit. Stay blessed and remain focused.
