“But you all will watch Bridgeton and kikiki about theirs but cause its Nollywood, we need to ask them to stop.”

“Did they think their audience would be too dull to know her designation, or perhaps she was playing an overambitious character with a taste for the eccentric?”
@alexblac_ink commented:
