@YUCEEFAHD:
"Like seriously? These Naija musicians overate themselves too much. Even a ressurected Michael Jackson will not make an average Nigerian pay that 120k for a concert to go see Olamide lip-synch a music you ve probably heard 100s of times or can download/stream off the web.. SMH."

"If you can't afford it, stay at home. Why criticize another man's effort? How much boys dey spend for club wey na dj dey play there? Poor minds."

"How do you feel comfortable paying such money to see ur fellow human being watin de video go full internet??"
