Some people like to form - Nigerian man

A Nigerian man, Babajide, had a chat with Legit.ng where he shared his thoughts on Mabel Makun's display with the bike. He attributed her moves to forming. In his words:

"Some people just like to form. Why was she acting like she had never climbed a bike before? Has she always been well to do or had a driver to drive her around? I actually think it’s funny that she chose to record it and post online like people would not see through her drama. Even if she hasn’t climbed an okada for years, what about those quad bikes that are at the beach? Lol.”
