There is this buzz on twitter and every activist-wannabe is forming outrage. So it must be kinda true. She must hve offended some big people if she feels that insecure. The last plane crash maybe.

Oui, c'est vrai. Like Bola said, twitter is buzzing right now. ThaT should confirm it

Aye, twitter has been abuzz, and the first organization to feel aspersions cast on their integrity was Sahara Reporters themselves. However, this time, they were vindicated, leading many on the social media space to wonder if this isn't the first time Sahara Reporters has been accused wrongly (maliciously is the better word) of spreading unfounded rumors.

Like I said earlier, Stella honestly isn't working with our interests at heart, as her careless statement during the plane crash indicated.
