“Just learnt that Dr Chinelo didn’t make it. This is heartbreaking on so many levels,” wrote Dr. Chinonso Egemba, @aproko_doctor
“It’s the same people who defend this administration that came out to mock a fellow Nigerian who was shot on the train People who have no conscience, no empathy
“Dr Chinelo is dead now, are you happy?
Are your paymasters pleased with you?Vile, depraved beings! Scum of the earth.”
“We’ve seen it over and over again, they call themselves “patriotic Nigerians” but there’s nothing patriotic about them.
“Their loyalty is not to the country, but to their paymasters and ambition.
“They attack, bite, insult others who call out failing arms of the government. Shame.”

“This thing hurt me to my marrows!!! You didn’t want to pray for her? Unlook!!! Scroll down!!! Move on!!! Instead you gathered in her mentions and cussed her out. Called her names. Made her spend he last hours being subjected to hate & vitriol because you don’t want your slave master to look bad.
“Nigeria will happen to you people. The story of what happens may not make it to the TL. But Nigeria will happen. And you will remember when you trolled a victim of a terrorist attack. And help will elude you.”
