His tweet reads:
"10 years ago, I walked into Yaba WAEC office at 9:10a.m. to apply for my statement of result to send to a school in US. I needed it urgently and asked for expedited service. I was told I have to go meet the secretary.
"The secretary told me bluntly that it would take two months even if I expedited and send with FedEx. I asked her why, she said that’s the process except I want to shake body small. It would cost me N5,000. Such a cancerous society, I had no other option.
"Counted the N5,000 and gave it to her. This lady legit counted the money, took out N500 and asked me to help her buy puff puff and malt across the road. Ah! Me! with my own money. Never been furious and helpless in my life. I went and got her the malt and puff puff."
