Congratulations Stella Emelife Chinelo, for those of you with myopic mindset and always say Igbos are bringing shame to Nigeria, this woman is an Igbo lady, i pray Nigeria will not render her useless because that land can ruins ones destiny especially when you are looking up to the criminal politicians to do something as government officials. They don’t promote anything or any person good.
