    3. Don't get it twisted please. He had wanted putting up that place in a clickable format so that upon clicking the link, it takes us to his Twitter handle.

      So there is nothing wrong with editing it.

    5. No matter what you guys think, i will always point out any flaw recorded in the post but i wants react to any flaw seen in our comments.

      Do you guys think that this blog is only utilized by Nigerians, the simplest answer is No.

      If you wanna start another war again, I'm gonna square it out with you big time.

      Let's assume that a post is on the N-power and the link posted for us to use in registering is wrongly put up by the OP, will you ignore it or you will point it out?

      If it's ignored, the aim of the post will be defeated.

      The OP had posted something pertaining to his Twitter account and it wasn't clickable, how then will you be able to follow him?

      Let no one get it twisted please.
      ONE LOVE
