“I just found out that Dr. Chinelo wasn’t able to make it. Dr. Chinonso Egemba, @aproko doctor, commented, “This is devastating on so many levels.”
“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.”

@I_Am_Ilemona, wrote, “All Chinelo said was “Pray for me.” That is all she said. She was then targeted and subjected to abuse by a group of vile and evil creatures. Cos she was shot and asked for prayers so she could survive.
“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.
