Popular Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, better known as Rudeboy of the Psquare duo, has got fans reacting to his lamentation on the excruciating economic hardship in the country, especially the hike in petroleum products.
Beyond Boders learned that Rudeboy in a post on his Instagram story, said he bought his first car for N120,000 many years ago, but spends N3 million monthly on buying diesel currently.
