@ positive naija

I didn't deliberately input double entries. If you check my answers, both entries are the same , the double entries dropped as a result of poor network function.

 

My sincere apologies for that.

Okay. No worries; considering that both submissions are indeed same with one of the submission within the designated time-frame.
