“How do you defend people who will tell you to rest after two posts about you fighting for their cause on social media?”
She stated that Nigerians are more concerned about a celebrity’s marriage that crash than being fought for. According to her Nigerians are quick to clout chase one another once a politician from who they benefit is being trolled on social media.
“The only thing they want to read about is how a celebrity’s marriage ended. and how an actress is sleeping with a married man. Call a politician out and 10 other truthhating, benefit-hungry, clouts chasing celebrities will say #istandwith. Nigerians don’t deserve help. Pls, don’t bother.”
