"According to the Mass Communication student, "I got not only certificate of participation but also certificate of Award as my piece was accepted and published in the FIFTH CHINUA ACHEBE ESSAY/POETRY ANTHOLOGY.
"On the 28th of September,Michael Ace's reminder of the Anthology made me submit for the second time for the 5th Chinua Achebe Essay/Poetry Anthology.
"So I resubmitted it for the Anthology and forgot everything about it.i thought it would fail as it did on Facebook.I almost believed that.
"On the 7th of November, Anthology Editor sent me what's titled ACKNOWLEDGEMENT/ACCEPTANCE/INVITATION LETTERS asking if I would come to the Anthology unveiling programme and how I wanted my certificate (softcopy if I wouldn't come,hardcopy if I would). I replied on the 13th. At this stage only Dr Milz was following and asking about it.
"I didn't hear anything from them till this morning (24/11/2020). I think Dr.Mhilz had asked me earlier (Last night or so) if I hear anything from them, I replied in negative.
"I got two certificates and softcopy of the Anthology sent to my gmail!
