These ‘good number’ of popular Nigerians are the ones who will take the opportunity of being outside in public to eat, to buy or to do what they will naturally not be found doing.
While some these ‘daring’ popular personalities get lucky due to the fact that they did not get caught on camera, some were absolutely not so lucky, as every bit of their ‘unexpected’ public act got caught up on the camera. Well, it does not look like they care in any way.
