We may have spoken too soon when we said last week that it doesn’t seem like we can catch a break from the drama on the social media space. This week has been relatively quiet in the social space – not much happened that drew the usual attention.
Yet, we have some interesting items that drove conversations through the week:
The Real Madrid – Man City UCL match was a breath taker
Until the 89th minute, Manchester City were unpacking bottles to pop to celebrate their qualification for the final of the UEFA Champions League.
The leaders of the Premier League table were leading 1-0, until two goals came in two minutes, both by Rodrygo, a substitute, to put Real Madrid on the lifeline to come back.
It was like a dream but a bad dream for Pep Guardiola’s men.

Nigerians are about to pay more for data, calls, and SMS, as network providers are asking the NCC to approve a tariff hike.
