A crowd of hypocrites,
Sitting behind hard or soft keyboards,
Came down ******* the superstar,
They threw all sorts of damaging words;

The state brought it's full weight,
Went in for the guilty verdict,
Made a show of the proceeding,
Slapped a fine and community service;

But another went afoul the same law,
Breached protocols meant to save lives,
Disregarded all safety rules,
Even flouted a presidential directive;

They simply turned a blind eye,
Choosing to prosecute a fry,
And letting off the lion and his pride,
Helped on by the folly of flippant masses.
A popular Nigerian actress has been fined, she and her famous husband, N100,000 and community service for hosting a party amidst Coronavirus COVID-19 14-day Presidential stay-at-home order.

Once the video of their reveling surfaced online, the whole of Nigeria went into an **** expressing vitriol.
