She highlighted the increases in fuel prices and electricity tariffs, while making mention of the harsh climate and the general cost of living.
Alade criticized them for prioritizing celebrity feuds over demanding better living conditions from the government following a post she made on X.
The post reads: “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.”
