If you dig deeper into the lives of many of these politicians and celebrities you will find that they got their wealth through fraud and cybercrimes. It is when they make it through this channels that they turn to social media influencers while some enter politics.
Embarrassingly some will establish companies employing graduates and paying them peanuts.

The people shouldn't be blame for because we live in a lawless country that has no freedom of expression. our right has been jeopardized and has no meaning to the elites.. Ordinary protest tag "Revolution" by Sowore has put the man in detention for two weeks now, so why wouldn't the people afraid. Nigeria is in God's hand.
