Woman shares what would happen in Abuja
In a Facebook post on Thursday, January 22, the woman stated that no one would have noticed Speed in Abuja, unless he organised a show.
Malinda bragged that Abuja residents have great pride and carry themselves with great respect and don't get carried away when they see celebrities.
She threw shade at Lagosians, saying the same could not be said about them, highlighting how some Lagos youths begged Speed for money, adding that content creator Egungun of Lagos asked the streamer stupid questions.
Malinda also noted how Peller chased Speed around, comparing it to a child chasing his dreams. In her words:
"Normally if na Abuja ishowspeed come I’m not sure anybody will notice him except he organizes a show….
"Our pride here high, we no send celebrities and i love it we carry ourselves with so much pride here in Abuja…
