Dear Investors Forum, thank you so much for championing my struggle to have DataMax Registrars pay my controverted GTB dividend. Your publication of my case in the Vanguard edition of Tuesday, Sept. 17 woke them up from their reverie of false sense of victory over me. After a flurry of telephone calls following the publication, DataMax finally admitted their crime or offence or error and lodged my money on Friday last week. Yes! Vanguard’s ink of altruism has proven mightier than DataMax’s sleight of the accounting pen! I can truly, deeply appreciate you for I am in the news media myself; I work for a private TV station in Anambra State. I can’t thank you enough, my brethren, our print media ambassadors. God bless u all. -UDENTA CHRIS C.
