"One week, multiple dramas.
"Nigerian celebrities are keeping us busy and distracted with their personal issues and controversial lives while the situation in the country is worsening.
"MTN has diabolically increased the cost of data and there’s no sufficient outrage or protest from us (Nigerians).
"We are preoccupied with Tuface and his marital affairs."
