Popular Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has bemoaned the worsening economic hardship in the country.
She lamented the hikes in fuel pump prices and electricity tariffs, as well as the harsh climate and general cost of living.
The 'Johnny' crooner slammed some Nigerians who are taking sides in the social media war between celebrities instead of demanding better living conditions from the government.
On her X handle, Alade wrote: “Electricity tariffs and fuel are at a 400% increase. Naira to $ is dancing alanta. The weather is unbearably hot.
“People are busy being wicked to each other with daily increases in prices. Salaries have not been increased. Afrobeat artists are making the mess, and you’re picking sides instead of facing our government.”
