Mannir Idris sent a handwritten letter requesting to be cleared while tabling complaints about some personal issues. His usage of English, however, left netizens in stitches. Apart from the poor punctuation evident throughout the letter, Idris' English was far below average.

Spelling errors also marred the poorly put-together letter. Idris communicated in the letter that he was newly married, was running a business and could not get decent accommodation in Abuja. A netizen identified as Blessing Dike shared Idris' letter in the Facebook group NYSC BATCH A B C, and netizens trolled him.
