Mr Ere, Please don’t take advantage of me. I tried my best to listen to you and make it a reality-having to change programs. I am crying .I feel like I have been taken for a ride. I just wanted everyone to be happy. You told me don’t worry about the money it will be little. I was expecting something in the range of 200,000 Naira. I don’t have the money to pay.

I don’t take advantage of anyone .I am the one(sic) taken for a ride. Pls if you cannot see that I was roundly humiliated then this communications is worthless. Be in no doubt - am livid.
