Author and director of Book Buzz Foundation, Lola Shoneyin, has knocked businessman, Cosmas Maduka, for publicly preaching with a megaphone.

Quoting Mr Momodu’s tweet, Shoneyin said: “Billionaire or busboy, noise pollution is a huge problem in Nigeria.”

She later said that it was important to respect public spaces while responding to criticism of her view.

She is popular for her 2010 novel, The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives.
