Hi there!

I have tried filing out the form but on the first page, the pop-down menu refuses to enlist my Local Gvernment. What do I do or what app is better because I have tried Internet explorer, Mozilla firefox and chrome and same issue occurs.

Hi!

Please how can I get to the Lagos venue from Ajah: JKK house, 229 Ikorodu rd, Ilupeju, Lagos ?
Thank you for your anticipated response.

Hello !

I experienced difficulties registering for the Diamond Bank's graduate trainee program. At first, I used Mozilla Firefox countless times and after inputting the verification code, I would fill the form but I couldn't change my nationality from Afghanistan to Nigeria. I also tried to do it with the Afghanistan as my nationality but the stuff couldn't go through.

Then, I changed my default browser to Google Chrome and the process was just fine. You might consider changing your default browser to chrome and you should pull through. If it still doesn't work, I am willing to help you and you should send me a message here before we connect via e-mail.

I wish you well.

Did anyone get an invite for a test yet?

Someone help me out with an answer please...

Hi Everyone
I don't have my discharge certificate yet but will be passing out first week of November. I was invited for the test tomorrow at Ilupeju.

Was anyone in my shoes allowed to participate?

Hi Everyone

Misskaycee21:

Yeah 2018 but the test might be written this year possibly by October
It is well though

So it is better to tell a white lie to at least get the chance to reach the stage where you can talk to a human who would understand that you are passing out in October.

I was listening to a call-in program on 96.9 Cool fm Lagos yesterday and to my utter shock, many Nigerians are being ripped off by their banks. Let me break this down.

You know that before, you could withdraw limitlessly from any bank's atm whether you bank with them or not and not be charged? I know there was a time they placed some charges before cancelling it out and rebirthing it again long ago. So these banks mostly GTB, DIAMOND, UBA, STERLING banks have rewired their ATM's not to dispense more than 5000 NGN according to the reports. Bear in mind that you will be charged after your third withdrawal from another bank's ATM.

So with this thiefry tactics, you can use up your three chances in a few minutes. For example, if you bank with First bank and go to a GTB's machine to withdraw 20,000 NGN, you won't be paid the whole sum at once (In most cases) and even if you reduce the sum to 10 grand, it still doesn't dispense until you slimb down to 5000. That means you will repeat the process five times to withdraw just 20,000 naira and you will be charged after vthr third withdrawal and every other withdrawal in the month when you use another bank's ATM.

Some of those who called in even explained how the gatemen watched them from a distance and after failed attempts at withdrawing, the gatemen would suggest that they punch in 5000 and when they did, it worked.

Something is wrong.

Besides there are 20,000 and up to 50,000 naira buttons on the machines but how come we are deceived to believe the machine which was built by a developed mind would have 40,000 button but is incapable of such task? You can imagine.

Also, there is the case of your bank debiting you for atm card maintenance even when you never used it in the said month. How about the crooks debiting your account and crediting oweing to their error and sending sms's for these their carelessness which they charge you for at the end of every month.

Let's all raise the awareness before these banks will ripp us all off of our hard earned money since they cannot even give loans to Ordinary Nigerians.

SHARE THIS and let everyone get cautious of this subtle thiefry.

Done with the BioData
Although I'm passing out next month I didn't lie sha, I ticked No for "Completed NYSC?"

Fingers crossed

I am afraid this might be a deliberate ploy to weed out those who do not have discharge certificate. It might just be better ti lie since the program is for 2018. What do you think?

I grew up not watching so much TV. I only remember being told movies by their watchers. A play mate or a grown Aunty would tell me movies by word of mouth. The funniest of them all was 'Paul and Silas' where the twins said things like 'Baby kem okpo', Baby, knock me, 'Baby wuom mmiri', Baby pour water on me. And the Baby did these things to the poor twins who were dying for her.

I got limited chance to watch at a neighbour's house. This happens after school when I trek back home with My younger brother. We would hurry up to fetch water from the stream at our backyard. We would wash plates and then journey to watch a movie which we called 'film' then.

But as Children, before we are done with our duties, the nights will arrive and the next thing, our Parents are home, hence, no movie watching. So we sometimes push duties aside just to make it to our friend's door step to watch a movie. It was in his house we watched State of emergency, Nneka the pretty serpent etc.

One saturday (That time we had a functional TV) after we were done, a group of boys who meet there as well for the same purpose asked that they will come to our house to watch one too. We didn't have so many cassettes. But I slot in DIED WRETCHED featuring Eucharia Anunobi, Tony Umez et al. I loved Eucharia and Tony's use of english and tones. But these group of boys left my house disappointed. I wished I could help their case.

Then, in secondary school, I stole glances at the TV of the Priest each time my class were to perform a task in his house. It was there that I sighted Zain Africa Challenge program. It was mind blowing, educative, challenging and absolutely phenomenal. I loved the speed at which the Students answered questions. I also loved that I could answer some of the questions as well. I remember one question whose answer was 'galaxies', talking about the solar system.

And after a while, the company was acquired and the program stopped. But thanks to Cowbell for their mathematics challenge which is a good thing for high school pupils. But if Cowbell were to sponsor an entertainment program, they would raise the cash prizes. And that's why there are so much emphasis on project fame, the voice, xfactor etc. I am not against those ones but the attention is being drawn out of formal education as though it is an unrewarding venture. There is less attention given to that side. And even when a company champions one, the prizes would just be enough to buy a few pairs of shoes and bags and books for the next academic session.

So if a university student wins a car for tackling questions on Geography and maths, it is a taboo okwa ya? If a university student wins 7,000,000 in an academic competition, our ancestors will ressurrect, right?

And to think about this #bigbrothernigeria porn makes me want to throw up blood.

THIS WASTEFUL CHILD

IF only Children at their youth would know how difficult it is for our Parents to raise money and sustain a home financially and otherwise. If only youths are wise with their spendings rather than throw away their senses to creating false impressions on the minds of their peers. We will get a lot of things right in other areas of life.

This boy I know just said something now and I was pinched hard. He just told me that on Saturday, he would like me to accompany him to Oshodi to buy two long sleeve shirts. "Only two" he emphasized. I told him that he may buy more than two. Because market can be tempting....

Immediately I said that, he said, "After wasting the money My father gave me For my undergraduate thesis, My eyes opened" I asked him how much that was and why he thought he wasted it. He replied that its 100,000 naira and that he was consistently sponsoring parties in his lodge in school. He also said his father gave him 70,000 naira while he was going for NYSC and that he cannot account for the money. He shunned camp food and spoilt himself living big since November.

Why do People not ask themselves questions on how best to spend money. Shouldn't one evaluate his needs and know what counts and what does not count? Shouldn't we all be aware of our backgrounds than try to deceive ourselves to a higher echelon. It baffles me because even if one was not taught the habits of prudent spending, it is in the one's court as a grown up to consciously acquire the beneficial habits and to be accountable.

Now this guy has another cruel plan; he lied to his father that he won't be paid the government stipend till April because he redeployed to Lagos from Kaduna (Spending 70,000 in Kaduna where things are cheap is alarming). He will also ask for 150,000 naira for rent while he has no plan to leave his current residence which is free of charge.
According to him, he needs the money to pay for a post graduate diploma after NYSC.

Most young People are fond of this. In fact for most of them, it starts from their teenage years when they think extorting from their Parents can rescue them from a lesser lifestyle not knowing that it is a build up of a harsher life when our Parents pump stops pumping out money because it is expected we should be able to fend for ourselves at a certain age. Most of the extorted money is not put to good use. It ends up purchasing bottles of alcohol in bars and prompts an uncalled-for generosity made to buy friendship or love or class.

Preparing for the future demands conscious efforts that employs focused techniques. It should start from that moment we are 'into the world' which demands that we manage and direct our lives how we want it to be. It is pitiable that we remember the need to have stored goods for future use when we are at the edge of stepping into the said future.

Even after these sudden realization, many still return to status quo because Rome was not built in a day. Management is learnt, not decided.

EVERYTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN AT THAT PEACEFUL PROTEST

I watched the regrettable video of Tuface where he flushed out several crooked sentences which were supposed to be the reasons why the planned protest which he was championing won't hold anymore. I could see with my clear eyes that he didn't really mean it. I could see his disheveled self and how the bones in his body looked like they were on vacation while he recorded himself, as though several unknown gun men were there to blast bullets on him had he not said those words to the camera.

I feel pity for him and I won't blame him that much. But this will mean that we won't take him serious in any activism whatsoever which he tries to champion again. It will be better for him to lock himself up in his room than for him to wake up one day and decide to fight for any minority or vulnerable citizens.

Nigeria promises to kill you; citizen or not. Nigerians are prolific and we are poor in calculations. That is why we don't get a believable statistics for victims of an epidermic or any tragic event. So, we are quick to reproduce and fill the streets with humans after thousands have gone to the world beyond.

This present government will incite violence during the protest which will lead to massive deaths which will be heaped on Tuface's head. They will use us against us. They are good at that. Period.

Definitely, Tuface was threatened. I find it hard to believe he was paid off. Because money settles a lot of things in this part of the world does not mean that for everyone who shuts up, money was handed in. No. Only The threats is enough to reduce you to a Child who is scarily afraid of a dark room. And because this government in power comprises of abusive, disrespectful and nonchalant evil doers, they could have said shameless threats to Tuface. And the poor man remembered his family and the many People who feed from his purse, and decided to back down.

Forget that People are disappointed and that they are grieved. Nigerians will forget him should he be killed. They will never dare be benevolent to his family if he were murdered. The best they would do is to protest that a statue of Tuface be dropped at the market square in his community or that his portrait be hung at a strategic corner in museums. And they are ready to hover around your corpse, clicking their fingers and slightly sliding their neck to the right or left. That is all.

But what government is threatened by an ordinary peaceful match. I mean, this is a scary thing to note. This country is in a long thing. Everything about this government in power is unbearable. Please don't blame Tuface that much. He is not ready to die like our past heroes.

Nigeria is an abattoir where humans are strangled without a touch of hand. Only the government's emptiness can strangle its People.

A week ago or so, I unashamedly posted about my transfer from my virtual reality to the actual reality. I had for many years lived in Nigeria but found a way to assume or immerse myself in a virtual 'overseas' where the People at least have a right. I know the USA and UK, Russia, Germany and other first world countries are not free of troubles but you know, it is far worse here in a way. When a President or His finance Minister says there is recession, it is a far worst and miserable one for someone at the base of the pyramid. Imagine the kind of failure envisaged by a Harvard graduate, it surely would be a huge success in the eyes of someone from a community college or the crappy piece of institutions we have here in Nigeria.

And so when I assumed my actual reality, My mood changed. My countenance got punctured. I was literally in pieces and quarter life crisis came upon me. It is a hard thing to pretend that things are fine in Nigeria. I mean, you would probably be hacked to death if you dare say that Nigerians in Nigeria are living a good life. The kind of suffering that bedeck this country under the eyes of our zero proactive President with his handicapped cabinet is overwhelming. It is a kind of dilemma that makes us think twice. If you could trade patriotism for a can of milk or a litre of kerosene, you won't look back. Patriotism at this time can be broken into pieces, have milk poured over it and then served the Dogs.

So many things gone wrong and the President is unconcerned. He has worn excuses as Party clothes and we hear nothing else but blames. A President whose election suddenly turned the ministry of finance to an accent polishing academy and the ministry of agriculture rendered impotent. His league of Inspectors, Ministers, Goodbye bidders have drowned this nation.

A President that is deaf to the incessant hacking to death of families, pregnant women, children. A President whose zero proactiveness has crippled the economy. A President who pretends not to hear the wailings and gnashing of teeth of the poor Nigerians. Is that one President?

The moment you speak out on self defence, your pronouncement lands you into trouble and it is treated as an emergency to mess you up. The DSS now raid homes trashing due process and you tell me that the President has capable hands. Hack People to death as a fulani herdsman and watch a governor reward you.

Is there a better way to relay to him that he is incapable and that Nigerians want at least a tomato cup of seriousness from him. I mean, why would his People wish him death happily?

Maybe the TUFACE's peaceful protest will further let the world know about the perils of being a Nigerian living in Nigeria in this age. I doubt that this government will ever make progress. I doubt that Nigerians are hopeful in this government. I doubt that the President will see any meaning in the protests. He will shamelessly do unto us as he did to his wife ; he will dismiss our concerns.

Anybody who is against Tuface's concerns about true governance is more poisonous than acid.

And to believe that Nigeria is healthy and in good shape without adding 'hopefully' to it is madness.

OF PRETTY MIKE, HIS CHAINS AND TWO OTHERS

Pretty Mike, Fela and Charley Boy.

ALWAYS, there must be a source of reckless entertainment stemming from either the carelessness of a government official or a leakage from the brain of the President or jokes that are full of 'funny' and subs that germinate per second per second or just something to keep Nigerians laughing while they wait for another joke or seriousness.

It could be story of a governor who travelled by wheel barrow to the USA to buy tea-cup for his Mother in-law or a Senator who asked Students the course they were 'doing' or a teacher flogging a student for not paying tuition and asking the child to tell his Parents to do MMM or something about a secondary school teacher who marks a student wrong for saying economics is a science because She said so.

Days ago, photographs of Pretty Mike who graced events with two chained masked girls floated around the cyber space, and Pretty Mike parades them like chained Dogs strolling with their owners. And while some Persons laughed at the drama, some were pissed by such as they perceived it as humiliation. But whatever that was, the alarm raised by People brought this to the attention of the Lagos State government who made Pretty Mike to sign some documents restraining him from daring such again.

Was Pretty Mike guilty? He wasn't sued to ascertain that and besides the girls in question never complained about their choice of dehumanization. They were only bothered that People might ridicule them, hence, they wore masks. Definitely, they were paid by Pretty Mike for what they do for him.

What bothers me is this, did the government try to ascertain if the girls were sane enough in order to be sure they needed no psychological help and maybe some form of rehabilitation?

Did the government that snatched them from the hands of their employer provide an alternative job or training for them? Or was the so called legal documents Pretty Mike signed the only solution there is to that quagmire? Tell me.

How about Fela who popularized women dancing in cages? The other Ladies that stand by Charley Boy's sides nko?

You are in a relationship
You want to take it further
But She seems not to be ready and you don't have enough courage to end the relationship.

Breathe in!!

Just start talking about Babies. How much you love Babies and how you cannot wait to have seven of them in the next eight years.

When you go shopping and you spot a Woman carrying a Baby, leave her and go to the Woman carrying the Baby and show some love. Spend a little more time playing with the Baby.

Apologise later but tell her you can't help it.

One day, She will just leave you. Voluntarily.

Then you can move on.

GTB,

You guys are turning into GTB BANK which is something else.

ALL your Customers are crying out blood.

Suya red-blood.

Send your Customer care FORCES to come and console them since you are good at smiling to every Customer but deal with their account balance.

I guess you are a machinery for replacing the looted funds seized by APC.

May Your days be rough like Nigerian roads.

I don't like praying for 'destiny helpers' whenever we (church congregation) are told to. I feel very uncomfortable because I believe all of us are destiny helpers. Certified ones.

The thing is, one way or the other, you are depositing in someone's life, knowingly or unknowingly. And there is no single human or a group of flesh and blood beings whose single most important role is to help destinies. Its a role for all of us-to help one another.

When you help someone lift a weighty load, you have lightened that burden and have somehow saved the Person from series of time-wasting trials which might end up futile. When you give good advice or teach someone or lead by example, no matter how many Persons you are reaching out to, you have made some deposits that would bless their destinies.

Unfortunately, what People have in mind is a rich Man or Woman, well placed in the society who would just hand-pick them to a greater height. People just want this surprise call from the blues that will usher them into a greater glory. As sweet as it may sound, it doesn't always work like that. In fact, it is not a dependable thing to hinge on.

We are in this life to help one another, to be a confidant to one another, to make other People's jobs easier. Contrary to these, we find People who cannot be counted on, People who would ensure not to flush their deposits in the water closet so as to punish the cleaner indirectly. The most annoying is when People try to talk People out of doing the right thing.

Sometime last year, I finished consuming yoghurt and held the can to dispose properly. Someone whom I was journeying together with pressured me to just throw the can away. I refused. He suggested that I squat and pretend to be picking something and thereafter drop the can. I refused. He clicked his fingers at me.

Imagine twenty Persons dropping trash inappropriately, it makes the job more difficult for the government sweepers. Think about doubling someone's job and the detriments. The Person would get worked up beyond a tolerable scale and the prayers for a longlife will not work. You are not helping that destiny.

So, it is better we pray to be the destiny helpers that we seek. Don't exclude yourself from the ones who make other People's life easier and they don't have to pass through a lot like you to achieve something worthwhile.

You are the destiny helper you ask for. Like begets like, and so, if you act right, you will reap right. If you refuse to be a destiny helper, you will pray till you are a hundred years old and will never find one.

Dear Ethiopian Airline,

You guys frustrated my friend and even gave me an unbearable doze of panic and unrest.

First of all, on our way back from Abuja on 29th of December, 2016, My friend and two other passengers were talking about airlines. They mentioned that in Africa, Ethiopian airlines is most serious. They Praised you guys so much that I yearned for a first time with your airline. One of the passengers said the airline business is the oil of ETHIOPIA and so that's why you guys are serious. They also hinted on how Turkish airline was racist. Core racist airline, they said.

Then the day came for My friend to return to the USA, She and her two Sisters arrived at the Airport one hour before boarding and they were informed that they won't be boarded and that they just missed it because they did not come three hours before time. Three hours Is that your inhouse standard or international?

Infact the Man who broke the news was busy watching videos of a wedding ceremony several minutes before giving them that scary reply.

Now that they missed the flight, what penalty was there for them. Your Officials told them that they have to book another altogether again. Meaning the former tickets should be trashed! That's unbearable.

Then they started making calls and their Mum also made calls and calls and calls.

Just before I continue, a White Girl (Canadian) heading to Canada also missed her flight and when your Official (BARNABAS) informed her She just missed her flight too, He flared up at her like a disturbed flame of fire. She demanded to see the Manager. Your Official asked her to wait for a century (7 months) if She wanted to see the Manager. The said Official also said to see the Manager, She should travel to Mars because the Manager relocated to Mars.

What kinda Customer experience is this?

Then after two days, My friend and her Sisters were placed on a waiting list. They demanded to know if there were extra charges but your Officials didn't inform them. They probably were waiting to hear from a head office or something. And then finally the information came, that they were to pay 322,000 NGN in 15 mins or miss the flight again. They were not allowed to pay with their American cards.

So, I was informed and had to run helter skelter trying to raise the sum in 15 mins.

FINALLY, we succeeded. But I won't take the chance with your airline even if it were 50% discount. This is because every Customer deserves peace of mind and care. Not recklessness and I-don't-care attitude. You just lost the three of them and me and maybe the White girl as Customers. Plus many more who would read this to KLM, LUFTHANSA, etc. Please do well to properly train your staff.

PS We were in contact every step of the way. So, BARNABAS was on the name tag of the official because I asked My Friend to check.

Yours faithfully,

TG.

Somewhere along River Niger

I thought I have found an excellent transport service after I encountered God is Good Motors. I became faithful to them for all my long distance travels. But today, they just failed wolfly. A failure that is too expensive to reverse.

This failure is as a result of poor management from their Iyana Ipaja terminal. People booked online and I was one of them. The bus was to leave at 7:25 AM But we left at 10:15 AM. This is not the only messing up of today. They also allowed People book for AC buses online only to waste their time before boarding and just before boarding, the Passengers were informed that their would be no AC in their bus.

The multitude of mistakes happened to virtually all routes. Passengers literary cried out blood before the Manager left his inside office to come outside and show his face (A blackish long head resting on a slender body). Children and old People were among the beneficiaries of this careless executive mistake.

This Manager at some point instructed a staff to go to the microphone and repeatedly announce their apologies on and on. I quickly spoke loud to his hearing;
"How can you be apologising when you have not amended the ones made, and more are occurring " and he replied by saying something like 'We rather do that and sort out things'.

Apparently, there were no buses but they allowed more bookings than they can carry.
If you tried asking a Staff about the lapse in delivery, the staff most likely responds by asking you to go and ask the Manager. This sort of makes me think they know he is somehow the cause of the shitty service deliver for today. One of the Passengers even said She experienced such about three months ago.

The old woman seated by my side in the bus recounts how transport companies like ABC, THE YOUNG were blossoming at some point but not anymore. So, I thought it is better to raise an alarm before GIGM joins that league. I still believe they can keep up with their excellent service if certain Managers are disciplined or uprooted.

We just passed River Niger and I am not happy with this GIGM because I will spend an extra sum to sleep over in a hotel. Very unforseen.

And I finished a bunch of bananas. What if my stomach becomes super excited?

I am still crafting my TED talk and this part of the talk which I just wrote now is tickling me.....

Pursuing purposelessness is like swimming in a local river in your community expecting that Ngozi Okonjo Iweala or Barack Obama might consider coming to fetch a bucket of water and you then get the chance to meet them. How possible is that?

NYSC ORIENTATION CAMP LAGOS

INSIDE this Orientation Camp, you can see and tell about what and what the Nigerian youths crave for the most. You will not need a Prophet to interpret every of their actions and you can predict their destinations.

Even when you are called from outside on the phone by those who were once here, you also get the same picture and will certainly arrive at the same conclusions. They tell you to maximize the mini market in here, they advice you to flex and enjoy. Nothing is new here but different shades of wasteful and lunatic flesh and bones.

A former Director General of the NYSC came to educate us today. The trumpet was blown and we all wondered at why it was blown at an unusual time. The state Coordinator settled the confusion with an Igbo proverb which says that "when you see a frog running in the day, it is either it is chasing something or something is chasing it". And because it is a taboo to say a proverb and interpret it, I will just go on.

The old retiree was talking about entrepreneurship, you know the usual highlights. What it is, reasons, how, why etc. He drew lessons from other countries that have economies that are fit and balanced, from DRC to Malaysia and palm Oil to Switzerland and its chocolate to China and its demographic leverage. He made a mention of CNN and their coverage of Venezuella which has Oil like us but is facing an unfathomable mess right now.

This retiree reiterated that though he is retired, he has embraced entrepreneurship too. His Audience were all uninterested. Some were chewing gums and staring at faces, some were gisting with their broke Friends and acquaintances, some were having bedroom talks with their recently caught fish and others were flatly ejaculating sentences like 'what is this man talking sef' 'Is this Man not tired'.

Immediately the time keeper came to remind the Man to conclude, they started applauding the Man. This applause was so false and cryptic. It was a pleasant way of asking the Man to stop instantly and that was an earnest expectation.

I was full of pity for my generation. I know how much of knowledge wretchedness that inflicts us. Most youths are rudderless. They don't know jack and it will shock you the day you find out how inactive their brains are.

But Immediately you play music, they arrive the scene and arise to dance. Not that they can decode the lyrics and learn, they just sing and dance along ignorantly. They are good at glorying in how many bottles of alcoholic drinks they can swallow. They don't even read the instructions on the labels.

Unfortunately, alcohol, breasts, buttocks, Sperm cells, and sex and blown kisses won't contribute a thing to save a People who are senseless because they can't write a common vision statement about sex.

It is a pity.

Ambode is offerring 50,000 NGN salaries to Graduates who would work as bus conductors.

Some graduates are for it and some are against it.

Would you rather stay idle and frequently have one night stands as Toke Makinwa adviced ?

On the flipside, is being a conductor a bad thing? I cannot do the job but I think those who could loudly chant 'Greatest Nigeria students' can do that job. You have the Spirit and acrobatics needed. Also, I mean, all those raised voices aimed at trashing the points of another football enthusiast when it comes to Clubs can be paid for if one chooses to join this scheme.

I understand it might not look decent or worthy enough but some young People are morticians too. But I think it is better (in terms of salaries) than working in a warehouse or sitting behind a desk as cashier or receptionist for 20,000 salary while flashing plastic smiles. But everything falls on the platform of choice and career goals.

It is a sad thing in a way, but maybe the recruitment of graduates might redeem the face of that job. I feel sad when drivers want to be referred to as Pilots. For crying out loud, a driver is to a vehicle while a pilot is to an airplane. There is a huge difference in length of training and even the means of transport handled by either of the two.

Transport companies like PEACE MASS TRANSIT, GOD IS GOOD MOTORS, started on a smaller scale. Infact, the owner of PMT was a cab driver during his undergraduate days (So I heard). If he could build up to being what he is today, the recruits in this scheme can grow too.

When these things happen to our fellow youths, I hope we get prepared to make things happen in politics because its Us that are employed to snatch ballot boxes, to assassinate, to do life threatening jobs during campaigns.

WE ARE OUR PROBLEMS, Nigerian Youths.

On the 'International Day of the Girl Child, 11 October, Many Persons especially the girls identified with the 'girls' by way of framing their photos with 'I stand with her' emblazoned on the frame.

On issues of gender roles, especially when the kitchen is mentioned as the only place Women should oversee, most Women ran into the defence zone.

Hilary Clinton, in far away USA did not need to appeal to the Association of Nigerian Girls but most of them STAND WITH HER.

One of you CHIDINMA is in deep shit and nobody is standing with her.

All you do is to make unnecessary fun out of that vegetable and the Girl in question.

What then does standing with 'her' mean and when should one stand with 'her' ?

Is it only when 'she' might win a Presidential election?

Or

When She stands to urinate like the male child.

When exactly?

P. S. I do not support her wrongs. But leaking such a video was a plan to destroy somebody's life. Making fun of the whole 'shit' is like adding more fuel to the fire burning.

Chidinma wanted to liberate herself.
She wanted freedom from 'death'.

She is paying the harsh price.

I stand with her courage.

She can be normal once again. She can start anew.

People should stop making fun of her.
She is still human and will continue to be.

I wish her LIFE.

P. S. I do not support her wrongs. But leaking such a video was a plan to destroy somebody's life. Making fun of the whole 'shit' is like adding more fuel to the fire burning.
