Following high-profile VAR errors in the Premier League over the weekend, Premier League chief referee Howard Webb has summoned all officials to an emergency meeting on Tuesday, February 14.
There’s been so much criticism directed at VAR since its introduction into the Premier League in 2019, and it had one of its most controversial days yet on February 11, 2023. The technology was at the centre of attention during Chelsea’s visit to West Ham, Arsenal’s clash with Brentford, and Crystal Palace’s draw with Brighton.

Daily Mail reported that the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) chief Webb has summoned all officials to Stockley Park for an emergency summit after Arsenal, Brighton and Chelsea were denied crucial decisions.
VAR official Lee Mason reportedly forgot to draw the lines that would have deemed Christian Norgaard offside before he set up Ivan Toney’s equalizer as the Gunners dropped two crucial points in their title race during the 1-1 draw with Brentford.
Brighton’s Pervis Estupinan had his goal ruled out through another error when John Brooks drew the offside line from the wrong defender.
An apparent handball by Tomas Soucek was also not given for Chelsea in the dying minutes against West Ham, a decision that left former referee Peter Walton stunned.
The report claims that Webb, who was recently appointed chief of the PGMOL, may sack some officials involved in the decision after ordering an urgent review with all options on the table.
The meeting has been deemed compulsory by Webb as every referee, assistant referee, and VAR official is expected to attend after Webb was forced to apologize to both Arsenal and Brighton for Saturday’s blunders.

Seun Kuti
During the clash between Peter Okoye and Seun Kuti over a comment made again the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, a post purportedly written by D’banj insulting Seun surfaced online.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE”.
In the post, that went viral on social media, it was seen that an account with D’banj’s name said the son of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Seun has a low IQ due to substance abuse and should focus more on music than ranting on social media without offering any solution to Nigeria’s problems.
However, the musician has come out to debunk the post that went viral. In a statement via his lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, the artist laid a disclaimer on the viral post.
The statement read: “This is to notify the general public that Mr. Oladapo Daniel (D’Banj) never made nor could make any derogatory or disparaging statement against anybody, especially within the entertainment industry, nor has he directed the publication of any such material on his behalf. Never!
The general public is thus advised to disregard the mischief of a publication maliciously pushed to drive traffic to gossip blogs and stoke non-existent conflict between Oladapo Daniel (D’Banj) and his well-regarded colleagues in the industry.
“For the records, D’banj authored no statement against his friend and brother Seun Kuti, and he is as perplexed as the general public by the publication falsely attributed to him.
“Dbanj’s view is that in the entertainment industry, they are all one big family and that though political ideologies may differ and could be expressed in heated ways, he holds that the irrefutable truth is that elections will come and go and they all will and must remain one big family”

“My thought is that we have already been condemned. Since Monday it is like what happened with UEFA. The club proved that they were completely innocent, why should I think right now, with just charges of suggestions… You have to understand that the 19 teams of the Premier League are accusing us without opportunity to defend ourselves. You know exactly on what side I am.
“We are lucky we live in a society where everybody is innocent until proven guilty. We didn’t have this opportunity. (People say) we are already guilty. I think we have good lawyers but the Premier League – supported by 19 teams – are going to take good lawyers too. If we are not innocent we will accept what the judge or Premier League decide, but what happens if it’s the same as UEFA and we are innocent? What happens to restore our damage?”

He was subsequently arrested again for breaching his bail conditions and charged by prosecutors. It has now been confirmed all charges filed against him have been dropped.
The Athletic reported that Manchester United Women’s team is “deeply uncomfortable” about the prospect of Mason Greenwood returning to first-team action at Old Trafford, and the men’s team is also reportedly ready to move on from him.
Players in the women’s team who expressed concern about the prospect of Greenwood returning after hearing an audio that was released on social media before his arrest, said it is “not something that can be easily erased from memory”.
Daily Mail had also reported that the men’s team led by Erik ten Hag want to move on from Greenwood and believe his return could disrupt their progress this season.
On the other hand, the staff at Manchester United are said to be split on Greenwood’s future. Some feel the Red Devils own a duty of care to the 21-year-old, while others believe he should not wear the famous red shirt again.
The club’s management has already said it would “conduct its own process” before determining the next step to be taken.

Adeherself pleaded not guilty to the charges in front of Justice Mojisola Dada at the Ikeja Special Offences Court. The EFCC’s counsel, Samuel Daji, requested that the court detain the defendant until trial proceedings begin.
“My lord, this case was heard before Justice Sherifat Solebo before she retired, and when it was transferred to this honourable court, I informed my learned friend that the case would be coming up on Jan. 25.
“He said he thought it was the day before. This is a matter that is starting afresh before your lordship, and we do not know if the sureties, who stood for her earlier, are dead or not.
It is proper for the defence to apply afresh for bail before your lordship,” he said.
However, the defence attorney, Mr Kassim Molade, requested that the court maintain the bail previously granted by Solebo to the defendant until a new bail application can be filed. Molade stated that the defendant has attended all court appearances and is willing to participate in the trial.
“We passionately urge your lordship to allow the defendant to continue to enjoy the bail given to her by the sister court. The reason we were not here on Jan. 25 is that prosecution did not get back to me.
I assure your lordship that before the close of today, I will rush to the sister court to get a copy of the ruling on the bail application,” he said
As a result, the judge retained the bail previously granted to the defendant by Solebo in place until the defence counsel submits a new bail application.

He told The Sun;
“The job of scouting is about finding but also missing players. For me, it is Kylian Mbappe. We just could not convince him.
“He was out of contract in June 2013 and we met him in February. If we could have convinced him to join, he would have changed the club. But he then decided on Monaco.
“Arsenal were not always playing their best so it was quite complicated. At first it was easy, as soon as we talked to a player he wanted to sign it. However, if you are not getting results it is difficult to bring top players to help the team. That’s why it is important to stay at the top for as long as possible. It is so much easier. Yet the likes of Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah, who I watched develop, prove you should never forget the talent you have inside your club, even in difficult times.”

“Before he was whisked away for further questioning, the operatives ordered the loading of all the ATMs and the payment of the stipulated amount across the counter to the delight of the distraught customers who had spent hours on queues without getting the new notes.
This discovery, which indicates a sabotage of the government’s monetary policy by some banks, was made by the EFCC in continuation of the ongoing surveillance and visit to banks across the country to access their vaults and verify whether they were deliberately refusing to dispense the redesigned Naira notes.

Since being taken over by the Abu Dhabi group in 2008, Manchester City have become one of football’s powerhouses thanks to considerable financial investment.
The arrival of the Gulf based owners heralded a new era of unprecedented success with the club winning six Premier League titles since the takeover.
Under the guidance of former Barcelona and Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, City won the Premier League in the 2017-18 season, becoming the only team in the competition history to attain 100 points in a single season. In 2018–19, they won four trophies, completing an unprecedented sweep of all domestic titles in England and becoming the first English men’s team to win the domestic treble.
The Champions League title remains ‘unfinished business’ for the Sky Blues after the 2021 final defeat to Chelsea in Porto.
Three APC-ruled state governments have taken the Federal Government of President Muhammadu Buhari to court over the Naira Redesign Policy, which has resulted in a severe cash shortage in the country.
President Muhammadu Buhari
The three states – Zamfara, Kaduna, and Kogi in a motion ex-parte filed before the supreme court, seek for an an interim injunction stopping the CBN from ending the timeframe within which the old N200, N500, and N1000 notes will cease to be legal tender.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE”.
The Plaintiffs in the suit are the three Attorneys-General and Commissioners of Justice of the three states, while the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), is the sole Respondent.
The Plaintiffs said that since the announcement of the new naira note policy, there has been an acute shortage in the supply of the new naira notes in Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara States and that citizens who have dutifully deposited their old naira notes have increasingly found it difficult and sometimes next to impossible to access new naira notes to go about their daily activities.
They also cited the inadequacy of the notice coupled with the haphazard manner in which the exercise is being carried out and the attendant hardship same is wrecking on Nigerians, which has been well acknowledged even by the Federal Government of Nigeria itself.
The Plaintiffs further maintained that the ten-day extension by the Federal Government is still insufficient to address the challenges bedeviling the policy.
Recall that over the weekend, the CBN Governor at a press conference held in Lagos insisted that the apex bank will not extend the deadline for swapping old naira notes with the newly redesigned ones.
In the suit filed at the apex court, the Plaintiffs have also filed a motion on notice to abridge the time within which the Respondent may file and serve his Counter-Affidavit to this Suit and an order for an accelerated hearing of this matter.
The states are seeking a declaration that the Demonetization Policy of the Federation being currently carried out by the Central Bank of Nigeria under the directive of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is not in compliance with the extant provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007 and actual laws on the subject.
They are also asking the court to make a declaration that the three-month notice given by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Central Bank of Nigeria under the directive of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the expiration of which will render the old Banknotes inadmissible as legal tender, is in gross violation of the provisions of Section 20(3) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act 2007 which specifies that Reasonable Notice must be given before such a policy.
The Plaintiffs are also urging the court for a declaration that given the express provisions of Section 20(3) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act 2007, the Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Central Bank of Nigeria, has no powers to issue a timeline for the acceptance and redeeming of banknotes issued by the Bank, except as limited by Section 22(1) of the CBN Act 2007. The Central Bank shall at all times redeem its bank notes.
The Plaintiffs further want the court to direct the immediate suspension of the demonetisation of the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Central Bank of Nigeria under the directive of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria until it complies with the relevant provisions of the law.
In an affidavit filed in support of the suit and sworn to by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Kaduna State, Aisha Dikko, she averred that although the naira redesign policy was introduced to encourage the cashless policy of the Federal government, it is not all transactions that can be conveniently carried out through electronic means.
She maintained that several transactions still require cash in exchange for goods and services hence the need for the Federal Government to have sufficient money available in circulation for the smooth running of the economy.
Dikko also pointed out that the Federal Government has embarked on the policy within a narrow and unworkable time frame, and this has adversely affected Nigerian citizens within Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara States as well as their Governments, especially as the newly redesigned naira notes are not available for use by the people as well as the State Governments.
“That the majority of the indigenes of the Plaintiffs’ states who reside in the rural areas have been unable to exchange or deposit their old naira notes as there are no banks in the rural areas where the majority of the population of the states reside.
“Most people in rural areas of the Plaintiffs’ states do not have bank accounts and have so far been unable to deposit their life savings which are still in the old naira notes.
“There is restiveness amongst the people in the various states because of the hardship being suffered by the people, and the situation will sooner than later degenerate into the breakdown of law and order.
“The Plaintiff State Governments cannot stand by as they are duty-bound to protect citizens in their states and prevent the breakdown of law and order.
“I know that if the Federal Government of Nigeria had given sufficient and reasonable time for the naira redesign policy, all the current hardship and loss being experienced by the Plaintiffs’ State Governments as well as people in the various states would have been avoided.
“I know that the 10-day extension by the Federal Government is still insufficient to address the challenges bedevilling the policy. I also understand that the Federal Government cannot bar Nigerians from redeeming their old naira notes at any time, even though the senior notes are no longer legal tender.
“Unless this Honourable Court intervenes, the Government and people of Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara State will continue to go through a lot of hardship and would ultimately suffer great loss as a result of the insufficient and unreasonable time within which the Federal Government is embarking on the ongoing currency redesign policy,” she stated.
No date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit.
Point of Sales (POS) operators have resorted to exploiting Nigerians as Naira scarcity bites harder across the country.
Recall that prior to the introduction of the policy, POS operators charged N100 for every N5000 (and below) cash withdrawal, but the situation has changed.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE”.
But currently, POS operators now charge between N300 to N400 on every N1000 withdrawn via the terminal.
This new measure was observed by a correspondent of the Daily Post during an attempt to make a withdrawal in Apo Resettlement area of Abuja.
While several POS operators were noticed to have shut down their businesses, the very few operating were at exorbitant rates.
In an attempt to make a withdrawal in Apo Resettlement, a POS operator told our correspondent: “We now charge N300 for every N1000 you withdraw from here, and the reason is that there is no money. Some of us have to stay long on queues in banks to use their ATM.”
Another POS operator lamented that they were buying the money.
“There is no money anywhere, some of us have to resort to buying this money, and this is one of the reasons our charges are high,” she said.
Asked if the charges are for the new naira notes alone, she said no, adding that “both old and new naira notes are the same thing; naira is very scarce now. It’s difficult to come by, so we charge N400 for every N1000 on both old and new.”
A customer identified as Dorcas, described the new policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, as “a devilish policy.”
Stressing that the policy was of no benefit to Nigerians, Dorcas said: “This policy by the CBN is devilish because it’s of no benefit to Nigerians. I walked from Amazing Grace Plaza inside Apo Resettlement to this entrance and most of the POS outlets have closed down because there is no money.
“You have the money in the bank but can’t withdraw because of this policy, not to talk about the N300 to N400 naira charges on every N1000 withdrawal.”
Commenting on the situation, a staff of FCMB alleged sabotage.
“The only way is for the CBN to increase their supply of the new naira notes,” he said.

The governor, who frowned at the resort to violent protests by some residents of Ibadan earlier on Friday, said that while citizens are free to express their feelings peacefully, the government would not condone any resort to violence.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Taiwo Adisa, indicated that the governor also put all the security agencies operating in the state on high alert to avert any breakdown of law and order.
The statement also quoted the governor as urging the people to ensure they use their Permanent Voters Cards to usher in a responsible government in the forthcoming general election, adding that resorting to violence breeds other problems.
According to him, the Omituntun Mass Transit Buses would be deployed to more routes within the state for free, in order to ameliorate the suffering of the people.
The governor also said that the state was also working with Chairmen of local governments to provide immediate palliatives for the vulnerable people in order to alleviate the hardships that the twin scarcity of naira and fuel have brought upon them.
He urged all law-abiding citizens and residents of the state to go about their lawful activities peacefully.
The governor said: “My Dear Good People of Oyo State. I am addressing you today because of the prevailing conditions in our state and country that have led to protests and riots, especially in Ibadan.
“First, let me say that I understand the need for these protests. When citizens get pushed to the wall, there is only so much that they can take. “The continuous fuel scarcity and the scarcity of the naira have led to slow economic activities. I must repeat, I understand, and I feel your pain.
“I have always maintained that peaceful protests are fine. When things are not going how we want them to go, we have a right and even a responsibility to protest.
“Let me also state that while we are protesting, we must remember how easily a peaceful protest can turn violent and lead to the loss of lives and property.
The violence that erupted in parts of Ibadan today (Friday) is condemnable and will not be tolerated.
“In response to this, I have suspended all campaign activities forthwith. I have also met with the heads of security agencies in Oyo State to restore calm and maintain the peace in our dear state.
“Violence cannot and will not solve our problems, it only creates new ones. We have another opportunity in a few weeks to move this country in a new direction. Use your PVC, not violence.
“We must not allow elements within us who have other motives to take advantage of peaceful protests to perpetrate evil or push their agendas.
“I urge all law-abiding citizens and residents of the state to go about their lawful activities. All our security agencies are on high alert and so, peaceful residents of the state have no cause to fear.
“As a palliative measure, I have directed that the Omituntun Mass Transit Buses should be deployed to more routes within the state for free. “We are also working with Local Government Chairmen to see what immediate palliatives we can make available to the most vulnerable amongst us to alleviate the hardships that the twin scarcity of fuel and the naira have brought upon our people.
“Once again, we have another opportunity to put an end to oppressive systems and that is through the ballot. For now, I urge everyone to remain calm as we are doing our best to mitigate the hardships.”
The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) plans to meet soon to discuss President Muhammadu Buhari’s government’s refusal to pay their members’ eight-month salary arrears.
ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed the development to the PUNCH on Saturday, February 4, 2023.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE”.
He, however, explained that the date for the meeting has not been decided by the National Executive Council of the union.
“We (NEC) had met before now and reached resolutions but will meet again to decide on the next step to take, and when we do so, we will let the public know.
“But what I can assure you is that we will meet very soon, and take a decision on this issue of withheld salaries. The FG must pay up these debts. It is our right.
“We have given the government some time to see if there will be any improvement, but they have done nothing. We are collating reports from our members and will take action,” he said.
While lamenting the situation, he said lecturers in Nigerian universities were going through hard times.
“Our members are passing through difficult times while they are doing the same work the FG said they did not do and were not going to be paid for.
“We are doing all these in the interest of the country but this will not be forever. We will certainly meet very soon and take a proper decision at that meeting,” he added.
He said there was no headway on the discussions between the lecturers and the Federal Government, noting that the legal battle between them would continue in February.
Also speaking on the withheld salaries of lecturers, the ASUU Chairman, University of Lagos branch, Dr Dele Ashiru, said he was shocked that the Federal Government had yet to shift ground on the matter.
He also noted that the morale of lecturers at his university had become “very low.”
He said, “As I speak to you now, nothing has changed. Unfortunately, the Federal Government is still adamant. The morale of our members has become so low.
“If the people with the responsibility to develop human capacity for Nigeria, Africa and the world are treated this way, it then shows the premium that those who are governing us place on education.
“It is also not to worry because they cannot give what they don’t have. If we have leaders who are anti-intellectual, they cannot have respect for intellectualism nor honour those who engage in that trade. What is certain is that ASUU will continue to struggle until all monies owed its members are paid.”

She said:
“The fact that my husband is a chieftain of the Labour Party does not change the fact that we are in a marriage and we respect each other’s opinion and feelings. If someone wants to lord their opinions over me, I would see it as a form of abuse. I can deal with infidelity in relationships and marriage, but I cannot deal with any form of abuse. If my husband had exhibited a domineering nature or I felt like I was in some sort of bondage, the relationship won’t work. But so far, he has been liberal, and it is working for us.
“I studied International Law and Relations in school. I was also a director of socials with the student union at a time. I have always been politically inclined.
“Acting was a means of survival for me, but politics is my first love.”

“The action and attitude of the Respondent (Oxlade), who is said to be a celebrity, is despicable, horrendous, distasteful and classless. The Respondent is admonished strongly to act with utmost circumspection in his relationship with fellow humans, especially the opposite sex. “what goes around comes around”. I need not say more,” the judge said.
According to the judge, “The attitude of the Respondent towards the proceeding leaves much to be desired. The Respondent failed to appear in this Court and the only reason given for the Respondent’s absence by his erstwhile counsel was the Celebrity status of the Respondent which to my mind cannot be equated to that of many notable celebrity Artistes in this country who have comported themselves well respectably both within and outside of this country.
After the case was settled, Oxlade was asked to pay damages to the tune of N5million to the claimant in two instalments of N2million and N3million respectively.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has made a significant promise that petrol will be available and reasonably priced within 14 days.
This was disclosed by the IPMAN National Operations Controller, Mike Osatuyi, during an interview on Arise TV’s Morning Show on Wednesday, Febuary, 1 2023.
According to him, there would be the availability of fuel in two weeks’ time and all stakeholders have agreed to sell fuel at affordable prices to reduce the burden on Nigerians.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE” and joining our group.
He said the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and all other stakeholders across the downstream petroleum value chain met on Tuesday in their bid to end the crisis.
“Yesterday, there was a meeting in Abuja and the president of IPMAN was there and he gave me feedback on the meeting. So, I can say the NNPC is ready to find a solution to the crisis. They’ve now agreed that they will open more depots for IPMAN to be loading products through their platform at official price and this is what we have been clamouring for for years.
“From what I gathered now, they are given 14 days to clean up the mess. By the next two weeks, we should be able to buy at a very reasonable price. We must all work in the interest of Nigerians and let Nigerians benefit from this subsidy,” he said.
On the issue of smuggling, which the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority had earlier said was a major cause of the fuel crisis, Osatuyi said all hands must be on deck to put an end to it.
He said the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers must direct its members not to transport fuel trucks to neighbouring countries.
“When it comes to all the challenges causing the fuel crisis, you can’t rule out the bad eggs across all strata of the system. But at the same time, it takes everyone to say drop this nonsense and let us be born again,” Osatuyi added.

But ever since I started following the lead of the Holy Spirit, things have drastically changed for me and I’m extremely happy about it. I’m actually dada – those people that naturally have dreadlocks from birth.
Since birth, I have been spiritual. My parents told me that I was stillborn so they had to throw me away. Then there was a clergyman from Ibadan who came to the hospital and asked about me and I was brought back to life. I was told that I never cried or did anything until the day of my naming ceremony.
It was the moment they named me Oluwatoyin that I started crying as a baby. Again, when they wanted to shave off my locks they had to tell me it was the Holy Spirit because I didn’t want them to do it.”
Ahead of the January transfer deadline, it has been reported that Portuguese footballer Joao Cancelo will leave Manchester City on loan to join Bayern Munich for the rest of the season.

Cancelo has been a key player for City in recent times, taking in 36 appearances for the Premier League champions last season while making the PFA Premier League Team of the Year in each of the last two campaigns.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE” and joining our group.
Some English media platforms reported that Manchester United and Bayern Munich are working out a short-term move with an option to buy him for €70 million (£61.6 million).
The 28-year-old spent three and a half years at the Etihad after joining the club from Juventus in 2019 for €65 million (£60 million).
Cancelo is now eager to leave to get first-team football after losing his place since the World Cup.
The Portugal international has only started three of City’s 10 games since the World Cup and has not featured since the Manchester derby defeat.
City’s shift in tactics, plus the emergence of teenager Rico Lewis, the ability of Nathan Ake to play left-back, and the fact manager Pep Guardiola has five central defenders in his squad means they believe they have enough cover to cope without him for the rest of the season.
Bayern has already lost left-back Lucas Hernandez for the rest of the season with a cruciate ligament injury.
The club’s full-back Noussair Mazrouai was also sidelined recently, though they did sign the Netherlands international Daley Blind.
Bayern could also lose Benjamin Pavard this summer, with the France defender’s contract running out in 2024, all of which makes Cancelo a timely addition immediately and for the future.
If Cancelo seals a switch before the winter window closes on Tuesday, then he would be in line to make his debut for Bayern in either a DFB-Pokal clash with Mainz on Wednesday or a Bundesliga trip to Wolfsburg on Sunday.

I will gladly collaborate with a secular artiste, though I know that the scripture says one must not be equally yoked with an unbeliever. However, I do not see it as a yoking of any kind. If a secular artiste is not vulgar, supports a sane society, and is against rape, violence and other vices (I can work with the person).
“If the artiste has a reputation for order and proper conduct, and especially if the person has a good reggae ‘vibe’, I will sing with the person.”

Many times when I am writing songs, the picture I have is that of someone on the street who may never come to church. So, when they hear the song, they would have been exposed to the spirit of God, who is able to save them. Ninety per cent of the time, I sing for people on the streets, who are violent and addicted to drugs.”

“One of the things that changed the course of the match was Cristiano’s missed opportunity in the first half.
“I congratulate Al-Ittihad. They presented a much better first half than us, and we played a good second half, but unfortunately we were not able to adjust the result. It’s true that we regret losing the Super Cup, but we are still the first in the league.”
Garcia’s blunt verdict capped a miserable night for Ronaldo, who was taunted by Al-Ittihad fans chanting the name of his iconic rival Lionel Messi as he arrived the pitch.

Everton’s owner, Farhad Moshiri, has put the club up for sale just hours after sacking Frank Lampard due to a poor performance that has landed them in 19th place in the Premier League table.
Moshiri
Guardian reported that Moshiri who became the majority owner of the Merseyside club, having increased his shares to 94 percent last year, is hoping to secure at least £500million from the sale.
His decision to allegedly sell the club comes amid turmoil on and off the pitch, with the Toffees sacking Lampard after a run of defeats that left them joint-bottom at the foot of the Premier League table with just 15 points from 19 matches.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE” and joining our group.
Moshiri is said to be open to either a full or partial takeover of the club, with his decision coming after months of seeking external investment into Everton. It comes amid their plans to build a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, in a big-money project to move away from their long-time Goodison Park home.
Everton is said to have instructed Deloitte to handle the sale, which is the latest development in a chaotic week for the club following the dismissal of Lampard.
This is however coming barely a week after Moshiri rejected the possibility of a sale. The British-Iranian businessman told the club’s website last week;
“The club is not for sale but I have been talking to top investors to bridge a gap on the stadium. I can do it (the investing) myself but I want to bring top sport investors into Everton. We are close to having a deal done.”
However, since Moshiri’s comments a lot has changed, with Saturday’s loss worsening the club’s perilous league situation and with Lampard being removed as the manager.
Lampard’s sack means that Everton are on the lookout for their seventh permanent manager since Roberto Martinez left in May 2016.

Here’s a list of his top five songs that the world has danced to.
5/5.
Out There
This is one of Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda’s brilliant releases featuring Dangbana Republik. This song conveys a powerful message that anyone can relate to. “Don’t stop, soldier man; life is a battleground, and you have to win the war.” The idea is to keep fighting and keep your fighting spirit alive because life is an unpredictable battleground and you must survive. A song like this will only serve to boost a man’s motivation for any upcoming battle.
4/5.
Far Away
‘Far Away,’ another Dangbana Republik musical collaboration, is one of his outstanding releases that has elevated street pop to a higher level. This track is from ‘High Tension 2.0,’ and it is quirky while also displaying some impressive grooving vibes. He values finding love in a foreign country. Coming from Nigeria, he has always held the Brenin culture dear to his heart, but he is also accepting enough to love someone from a different culture. This song’s earthy vibes will truly move you to your core.
3/5.
Vision 2020
This was the first song that drew attention to itself. This collaboration with Olamide is a charming expression of street culture. The highly regarded artist was already a star at the time, but in ‘Vision 2020,’ Bella Shmurda has flourished thanks to his undeniable talent and gripping rapping deliveries. In this song, he criticizes how various governing authorities have discredited Nigeria’s youth. Many people can relate to the gentle criticism of the Nigerian government.
2/5.
Rush
This musical masterpiece is one of Bella Shmurda’s Top Songs featuring Dangbana Republik. This song was written specifically for his fans; it is a hit-back number that has been well received around the world. Furthermore, this song includes amusing musical elements such as a wonderful tempo with a blend of Pidgin, English, and Yoruba. And the entire mix of music has a great dancing vibe to it.
Shmurda expresses his feelings about others talking behind his back in this song. And how he’s unconcerned about it? He also slams critics who claim he lives in the fast lane. He declares that he is unconcerned about their opinions and will continue in this manner. He also discusses a viral video in which he claimed he was too drunk to perform on stage. And it’s not surprising that over 4 million people have viewed the same video on YouTube.
1/5.
Cash App
The combination of lovely tunes with Afropop and Afrobeats has made this song extremely appealing to all music lovers. His collaboration with the iconic Zlatan Ibile and Lincoln has to be by far his biggest hit. This massive hit broke records and sparked numerous controversies. Despite this, the song was a success, garnering over 21 million views on YouTube alone.
Choosing an unusual theme for the track’s video, this song quickly became one of the most popular. The song depicts a scenario in which a group of bank robbers commits a heist to make up for their poverty. In this video, they use an American flag to depict capitalism. Overcoming poverty is a big deal in Nigeria, and choosing this topic has made the song very appealing to everyone. However, the video also depicts the other side of being a part of such a robbery. Getting caught and the subsequent events in any fraud procedure. Critics have praised them for portraying a strong image to the public.
Being one of the prominent faces of the Nigerian musical scene, his tracks have happened to be one of the most loved tracks within a very short time. And getting this much traction within a very short was truly a great way to kick-start a career. When it comes to the musical list of a prolific star the numbers cannot be limited to 5 to 10 numbers.
Some more tracks that are truly brilliant and have been getting a lot of attention were ‘Only You’, ‘Dangbana Orisa’, ‘Sho Mo Mi’, ‘Colodia Drive Us’, and the list can go on. He is surely one of the most loved artists in Nigeria, yet the world is slowly falling for his daunting lines and vindictive musical nature. The gravity of his music is surely a lot of. With him, street pop styles have gained a great singer and performer.

PSG defeated the amateur side 7-0 in the Coupe de France last 32 on Monday evening, thanks to Mbappe’s five goals. For the first time since arriving at the Parc des Princes for the tip to Cassel, the French superstar had been named captain.

Mbappe opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark when he fired in low to the bottom right corner from inside the box. Neymar doubled the visitors’ lead four minutes later, shooting high into the net from inside the six-yard box.
Mbappe laid on the assist for that goal and moments later he added his second of the evening. This time, he fired past Cassel keeper Romain Samson after being played in by Danilo Pereira.
The PSG skipper completed a first-half hat-trick five minutes before the break when he again fired into the bottom right corner. It took him just 11 minutes of the second half to grab his fourth of the net, with Neymar setting him up to score from close-range.
The Brazilian secured his second assist of the evening eight minutes later, setting up Carlos Soler to fire in. The midfielder turned provider himself late on, crossing in for Mbappe to score with a left-footed shot.
PSG will face bitter rivals Marseille in the last 16, with that game to be played in the week commencing 8 February. After breaking yet another record, Mbappe hailed his side for remaining professional despite their lowly opposition.
“We’re happy, we came here to qualify, to respect this team and that’s what we did today. It’s a football match, we’re going to prepare for it. We first think of the match against Reims. Afterwards, we will see for the match against Marseille,” he told beIN Sports.

Erling Haaland, a striker for Manchester City, broke a new record by scoring his fourth hat-trick of the year in a Premier League encounter against wolves.
Erling Harland
The Norwegian behemoth broke the record of Ruud van Nistelrooy who took 65 appearances to score four EPL hattricks. Haaland, meanwhile has taken just 19 matches to achieve that feat.
He also surpassed former Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo’s hattrick tally (3) and is on level terms with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah who also has 4 hattricks.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE” and joining our group.
City dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead after Haaland headed home from a pinpoint cross from Kevin De Bruyne in the 40th minute.
It was a matter of time until City got that crucial second goal, with Haaland converting from the spot following a foul on Ilkay Gundogan five minutes after the break. The Norwegian then quickly completed his treble to put the game to bed.
Erling Haaland
Haaland’s previous three hattricks in the league came against Manchester United (Home), Nottingham Forest (Home), and Crystal Palace (Home). The player is also one hattrick away from equalling most hattricks in a Premier League season, as Alan Shearer scored 5 in the 1995-96 season.

Nigerian universities may be closed again this year if the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) does not meet its demands, according to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
This was disclosed by ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke in an interview with The ICIR.
According to the union president, the government had yet to address the issues that led to previous industrial actions which lasted for eight months.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE” and joining our group.
Following the government’s failure to honor the agreement reached with the lecturers in 2009 and meet other union demands, ASUU went on strike on February 14, 2022.
Following an Appeal Court ruling in favor of the government on September 21, 2022, ordering ASUU to resume work and upholding a similar injunction previously issued by the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, the union called off its strike on October 14.
Unlike in the past, when striking workers were paid for the time they were off the job, the government has stated that it will not pay ASUU.
ASUU members received a half-month salary at the end of October, two weeks after they returned to work, which the government described as ‘pro-rata.’
Since then, the union has demanded that the government pay its members’ backlog.
Speaking during the interview on the possibility of another industrial strike, Osodeke said, “It is not possible in this country, except we have a set of leaders that will be elected and will be human beings and think about the system.”
He said ASUU members continued working because they wanted the best for the nation.
The union leader, however, pointed out that his group was waiting for the government to fulfill its promises which led to the suspension of the union’s eight-month strike in 2022.

Ekòng is now making cars for Nissan and has two patented products, including an electric car he built himself.
The interesting thing about the genius is that he solved a mathematical equation that couldn’t be solved for 30 years in his first semester at Tokai University, Japan.
“It is an electrical problem involving mathematics and my entire research team is not allowed to discuss details of academic research, patents, and trade secrets as it regards electric vehicles. We are constrained by a confidentiality agreement not to discuss such projects,” Ekong told the Youth Alive Foundation.
Ufot Ekong, who is originally from the Nigerian state of Akwa Ibom, is a multi-lingual, he speaks English, Japanese, French, Yoruba, and Ibibio fluently.

Welcome to this space, where I tell people what they should and should not do with food and drinks. Today we’ll talk about our food resolutions for the year. If you don’t want us to fight, do everything I’ve listed below.
Kill chicken
At your big age, you don’t know how to hold a chicken to the ground and kill it? Come on now. You’re too big for this. This is a skill people add to their CVs, and you don’t have it? Do better this year.
Chop semo. (Eat Semo)
Growing up means realising semo isn’t that bad, and people are just overdoing it with the slander. Give semo a try. I promise, you’ll see the light.
Attend more food events
Stop waiting for the end of the year to attend overcrowded food festivals. Many events happen throughout the year — BBQs, potlucks, yam and plantain festival, cocktails, etc. You just have to shine your eye and ears.
Eat Japanese food
Are you not tired of going to that Chinese restaurant every single time you’re looking for where to eat? You want to say you’ve also been to Japanese restaurants. Good for you (even though all you ate was sushi and rice).
Make homemade pasta
Just realised this isn’t as hard as all those fancy chefs makes it seem online. Apparently, you can even do this without some big-ass machine. I think everyone shoud make their own pasta at least once, just for the fun of it.
Have a cocktail competition
Gather your friends together and see who can make the best cocktail from basic ingredients. This is actually so much fun, and the fact that everyone will end up drunk is a bonus.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE” and joining our group.
Go outside your comfort zone
This year, just be adventurous with food. Try meals from other tribes you’ve only ever heard about online, try a difficult recipe, eat that food you stopped liking many years ago, eat at a beer parlour, put pineapples in your burger and cheese in pancakes. Just don’t be basic.
Drink water
Because you people always forget to drink at least two litres a day and that’s not healthy. I need y’all alive and well to read 626blaze articles.
Avoid fufu
Yes, semo is trash, but fufu is its oga. If you’re out here eating fufu, it means you can comfortably pick something from a toilet dustbin to eat.
Stop eating rice and tomato stew
We’re no longer in the days of our parents when the only thing they ate with white rice was either standard tomato stew or soup that was meant for swallow. There are way too many sauses out there for you to try with your rice. Don’t limit yourself.
Order something new at a restaurant
You order things like rice, burger, pasta, chicken and chips, and in your mind, you’ve gone to a restaurant to eat. Stop deceiving yourself. Open that menu, and order a meal with a name that’s hard to pronounce. Let’s start from there.

She studied Physical Theatre and Performing Arts Management at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), where she graduated with honors in 2013. Nonetheless, she trained at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City in 2012.
Thuso Mbedu’s Career: How She Began Acting in Movies.
Thuso debuted in the industry in 2014, when she appeared in the second season of Mzansi Magic’s soap opera Isibaya. Following that, in 2015, she portrayed Kisto, a journalism student who is a bit of a wild child, in the ABC drama Scandal.
She was cast as Kheti in an episode of the second season of the SAC adolescent drama series Snake Park the same year. She had been out of work for a long time (six months).
After six months of joblessness, she landed her first leading part in the October 2016 launch of the adolescent drama series Is’tunzi on television. She portrayed Winnie, a determined young woman whose hopes of marrying a rich and renowned rugby player were dashed when she was sent to live with her stern aunt.
She had a nervous breakdown during shooting the rape scene. Her performance as Winnie in Is’tunzi earned her a nomination for Best Performance at the International Emmy Awards in September 2017. She stood out since she was the sole African nominee that year.
Thuso first appeared in front of an international audience in the 2021 Amazon Video limited series The Underground Railroad. It all started with Colson Whitehead’s book of the same name, which inspired the show. Although, Barry Jenkins, a recipient of an Academy Award for directing, also served as a producer on the series. Several prestigious accolades, including the Independent Spirit Award, the Hollywood Critics Association Award, and the Gotham Award, were given to Thuso for his work on the series.
Thuso made her acting debut alongside Viola Davis in The Woman King in April 2021. The film is based on the true story of the Woman King of the Kingdom of Dahomey. Gina Prince-Bythewood helmed the film.

He said, “In four years, 50 facilities attacked in various parts of the country. The implication of the attacks is that we have to rebuild facilities and replace materials. The commission and security agencies have increased their presence in some of these locations. The last attack happened on Sunday last week but because of the cooperation between the military and the electoral commission, we were able to respond and the damage was limited to just a section of the building in a local government office.

“But inspite of these attacks, we will rebuild facilities and replace damaged and lost items, the elections will hold.”

Every job will stress you. It’s better to cry inside an air-conditioned office and clean your tears with dollar bills than to motivate yourself with, “I love my job”.
Your coworkers don’t like you like that
You think your team is your “family”, but even your work spouse would leave you in an instant if another job promises to 2x their salary. Don’t play yourself.
Neither does your boss
Especially if they always motivate the team to “believe in the collective dream”. Let someone else shove money in their face first.
The economy is economying
Everything is expensive. The noodles you bought for ₦100 yesterday can be ₦500 tomorrow. Do you get where I’m going with this?
Bad bitches are rich bitches
How do you want to reach the full extent of your bad bitchery with only ₦5k in your account two days after payday?
Don’t you want to be a baller?
Because why are you even choosing anything over money?

After receiving harsh criticism, popular musician Brymo has apologized to the Igbos for his remarks against the tribe.
This comes after the singer was widely condemned by Nigerians for his anti-Igbo remarks, prompting thousands of Nigerians to sign a petition to prevent the singer from winning the All Africa Music Award in the ‘Songwriter of the Year’ category.
According to reports, the singer insulted the tribe by claiming that the country isn’t ready for an Igbo presidency, among other things.

Gavi and Pedri
Barcelona was dominant in every aspect of the game and took advantage of three mistakes by Real Madrid to score. Goals from Gavi, Robert Lewandowski, and Pedri were enough to end the club’s trophy drought and also earned Xavi Hernandez his first trophy as a coach.

The La Liga table toppers took the lead when 18-year-old Gavi fired in from Robert Lewandowski’s pass. Lewandowski struck just before halftime when he finished from Gavi’s pass.
Gavi got another assist in the second half as he set up Pedri, before Karim Benzema struck a late consolation.
The game would have finished with a bigger margin if goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had not secured some smart saves.
Since being defeated 3-1 by Real Madrid in October 2022, Barcelona has gone from strength to strength and have secured the number one spot on the La Liga table. This victory also extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to nine games.
Zaynab Bilyamin, a 24-year-old student at Federal University Dutse, has converted sachet water waste into kerosene and diesel.
Ms Bilyamin who is a student of the Department of Chemistry worked on the conversion as her undergraduate final year project.
Her project topic is: “Conversion of Low-Density Polyethylene and Mixed Low-Density Polyethylene with Polyethylene Terephthalate into Fuel.”
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE” and joining our group.
Ms Bilyamin stated that she was inspired to conduct the research after reading about the possibility of converting polymeric waste into fuel because in Nigeria, polymeric waste piles up on the street without recycling, posing an environmental risk, whereas this waste can be converted to wealth.
The young scientist appreciated the support from her parents and the project supervisor, Aminu Dauda, for their help in the course of carrying out the project work.
Speaking on the challenges encountered, she said, “I carried out the experiment in the lab, although it was okay. But during the experiment, an obnoxious odour which is not very pleasant to the nose was emitted. Had it been that there was a facility a little bit away from residential areas, it would have been so much better.”
She mentioned further how she had to take her product to Bayero University Kano (BUK) in Kano State for analysis as there was no equipment for such in her school.
“Had it been available in my school, then I would have carried out the physicochemical analysis myself in my school,” she said.
In the course of the research, Mr Dauda said they had to design and fabricate a machine (reactor) at the Kano Technology Incubation Centre which was used for the pyrolysis — the method used to convert the polymeric waste into fuel..
Ms Bilyamin, who hails from Jigawa State, said she would pursue a career in academia as she want to carry the research further in her Masters and PhD program.
She added that the research gulped more than N100,000 (about $150).
Ms Bilyamin and her supervisor therefore called on the government to invest in this area of research as it will ease the blockage caused by polymeric waste and at the same time serve as a source of revenue to the government and also means of reducing youth restiveness.

Dino Melaye, the spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, has called All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu an emergency Muslim.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
This comes following the inability of the former Governor of Lagos State to appropriately recite the Qu’ran at a campaign rally.
Taking to his Twitter page on Monday, January 16, 2023, Dino Melaye released a video of what he termed the ‘Fathia challenge’ between him and Tinubu.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE” and joining our group.
Fathia is the first chapter of the Qu’ran, and it is recited by Muslims in every obligatory five daily prayers.
According to the former Kogi State senator, the APC flagbearer is not a Muslim, but an emergency one who is trying to learn the basics of Islams only for political purposes.
Melaye, therefore, urged Nigerians to vote out Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming general election.
He wrote: “Fathia challenge: Dino defeated Tinubu in Quranic citation. Emilokan is not a Muslim but an emergency Muslim trying to learn the basics of Islam for political purposes. Vote him out.”
This has however generated mixed reactions, while many asked Tinubu to take up the challenge, others said that shows Tinubu isn’t a religious fanatic as feared by many that oppose the APC Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Ade Akintunde said; “The only reliable information about EMILOKAN, is that he is a man, the rest are OLUWOLE.”
Micheal said; “Thank God that Dino has confirmed that Tinubu is not a fanatical Muslim as people are portraiting him to be and Dino’s assertion has made a mess of him criticizing the Muslim-Muslim ticket.”
Babatunde Samson said; “If he’s not a Muslim then what is he? His not a Muslim but goes to Mecca regularly? He bears Moslem names,if his not a muslim but he associate with Muslims more than d Christians,d Muslims will want to use him even if he’s half Muslim, they will use d principle of Taqiya for him, all I know is Apc will fall, PDP will scatter for Peter Obi to raise a new Nigeria where peace and justice shall reigns! O God of creation makes this noble course come to pass in Jesus’ mighty name.”

Atiku’s wife made the call while speaking to women in Bauchi at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium over the weekend.

Mrs. Atiku said Nigerians can entrust the country into the hands of her husband because considering he has served as a two-term vice president under the then President, Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
She asserted that there is more to benefit women and generally if her husband is given the mandate to run the affairs of the country as Nigeria’s next President.
She appealed to the people of Bauchi state to vote for her husband as president and also return their state governor, Bala Mohammed to office for a second term.
Mrs. Atiku also warned women against being deceived by selfish politicians who do not mean well for the country.
She recalled that when her husband served as vice president for 8 years, women were not left behind in her programmes as the wife of vice President, adding that women should expect more if her husband becomes the President in 2023.
Mrs. Atiku noted that “I urge you to tighten up your belts, tighten up your belts women of Bauchi, I beg you not to doubt my husband, he will do so many things for you, including your children.
“There is hunger, no job for the youth, our youth are roaming the streets, some are involved in yahoo yahoo, we pray that God will intervene.
“Go and collect your PVCs in order to be able to vote for the PDP, Atiku Abubakar and Bala Mohammed. Your votes will make a positive impact in the election. Ensure that you protected your votes very well to ensure that it counted.”
You’ve made the decision to go out to party. That’s fantastic. However, if you truly want to have a good time at whatever event you attend, avoid going out with any of these people because they will frustrate you in some way.
Couples
If you go out with a couple, you’ll be sorry. They only know how to annoy PDAs and exchange saliva whenever they get the chance. I didn’t invite you out for a dry hump; I invited you out for drinks.
Ambiverts
At the very least, introverts prefer to stay at home. Ambiverts have on and off days, and they don’t always realize they don’t want to be out until they are. If you’re out with an ambivert on a day when they want to stay in, God help you. They will irritate you by constantly acting as if they are being punished. They will not even attempt to have fun; instead, they will sit in a corner and press their phones. Meanwhile, they’re the ones who asked you to accompany them. Chisom, we just arrived; stop asking if we can go.

9-5ers
9-5ers are full-blown party animals. It’s like they channel all the stress from their work into energy for turn up. When you go out with them, you’ll be exhausted within one hour. If you’re out with bankers, architects or lawyers to be precise, just be ready to stay out till 5 a.m. They don’t know when to call it a night, even when they have work the following day.
People who live with their parents
They’ll try to include you in one stressful lie or scheme so that they can be out. When they’re finally out, they’re paranoid about getting caught. Can’t even post them on your insta story in case one grand cousin’s sister’s daughter accidentally finds your page. Omo, Tunde, this isn’t what I signed up for. Then there are the ones with 9 p.m. curfews, who try to make you leave early too. You and who? Do I leave with your parents?
People who live far away
They always have to leave early because their house is far from civilisation. You sef should know better than to invite somebody from FESTAC out at night. If you want them to stay longer, you have to give them a place to sleep.
Gym buffs
Latest 7 p.m., they’re heading back home because they have to go to the gym the next morning. And while they’re out, they won’t eat or drink certain things because it’s not part of their diet. And they’ll judge you while you’re eating your shawarma and fries at 11 p.m. As if you’re on the diet with them.
Influencers
All they want to do is record videos of every single thing that’s happening, all in the name of content. Instead of properly partying, they’re shooting “Come turn up with me on a Friday night” vlogs. If you give them the chance, they’ll carry tripod to the club.
Being a delusional girl means choosing to ignore facts and live in your own reality. When you reach your delusional stage, you believe that your wildest fantasies are not only possible, but also normal. Here’s why you should try it today!
Men do it, so why not?
Men are constantly told that they have “audacity,” which allows them to apply for jobs they aren’t qualified for and demand attention from women they don’t know. Why can’t we do the same?

Extra motivation
If you’re convinced the universe exists simply to cater to your every need, and that everything works together for you, you’d be gingered to do the impossible. Why? Because the universe won’t let you down.
Improve your mental health

“From what I see, they are professional, responsible, and honest. We’re in a bad moment and we’ve got challenges, everyone suffers from that point. January is always complicated no matter where you are because the window is open and human beings are human beings, but I don’t see any problems in that regard. I have the support of the boys and they have mine. We just need to keep working.”

Cristiano Ronaldo and his son.
Recall that 37-year-old Ronaldo recently signed for Saudi side Al-Nassr in a mouth-watering that saw him become the highest-paid sportsman in the World.
Before the family’s recent relocation to the Middle East country, Ronaldo Junior spent two years in Juventus’ academy system while his father was playing in Italy. He most recently wore the No. 7 shirt as a prospect with Manchester United and was also featured in Real Madrid’s youth team.
The youngster who was recently spotted pulling off his father’s iconic ‘siuuu’ celebration after scoring in an Under-12s tournament for the Red Devils, has left United too and will now play at an academy level in Saudi Arabia.

This comes following the release of Mohbad’s new song ‘Feeling Better’ which seems to be gaining traction.
The DJ took to his Instagram story to share a video where he emphasized the talent of the ex-Marlian Records signee.
According to DJ Chicken, Mohbad is going to be the new household name in the entertainment industry, unlike veteran singers like Wizkid whose glory is dead.

In his words, “Mohbad or whatever you are called, that song you dropped go blow everywhere pass all those celebrity wey their glory don die. You don pursue all of them even Wizkid wey hin glory don die tey tey.”
Who else besides Marcus Rashford? The Manchester United striker scored his 16th goal of the season in the 82nd minute, giving Erik ten Hag’s team a memorable victory.
Casemiro and Marcus Rashford
It came when Alejandro Garnacho, who had come on as a substitute, twisted and turned in Manchester City’s area before rolling the ball into Rashford, who was unstoppable.

Earlier, Pep Guardiola had greeted Jack Grealish’s leaping header with a cheeky grin and punch of the air to celebrate his decision to bring on the winger only three minutes before.

That strike was on the hour and threw down a challenge to United: after dominating for long swathes of this 189th derby could they recover poise and find a way back?
The answer was a resounding yes to the first and second questions, in a response that began with Bruno Fernades equalizing. This occurred when Casemiro flighted a beautiful pass in behind City. Rashford was offside but did not touch the ball, allowing Fernandes to charge in and slam home. The flag was raised at first, and a furious Fernandes led the protests to the assistant referee. However, after a brief pause, the finish was ruled fair – which it was, much to United’s delight.
Bruno Fernandes
Even better, Rashford followed to send Old Trafford into raptures. The home crowd was deafeningly loud, those in blue stunned by Ten Hag’s side’s refusal to be cowed by the champions. At the end, twin challenges from Antony and Garnacho – on Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker, respectively – were an apt symbol of how United showed the courage Ten Hag said was lacking after being thrashed 6-3 at the Etihad in October.
That is now a particularly distant memory, with United closing in on a point against City.
Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has stated that he regrets his team’s pre-season tour of Asia, which they took to prepare for the current season.
In July 2022, they played Manchester United (losing 4-0 in Thailand) and Crystal Palace (winning 2-0 in Singapore) before jetting off to Germany to continue their preparations.

Commenting on things he felt he could have done differently during a recent interview, Klopp stated that while he regrets the tour, he doesn’t think it’s why they’ve put a poor performance this season.
He said;
“Would I do anything different? I wouldn’t go in the first week to Asia. Not because Asia isn’t great, but I wouldn’t go [even] in the third week [of pre-season]. But it’s not really in our hands. Is that the reason [for our struggles]? I don’t think so, but it would have been better to do it differently. We learn from these things.”
When asked if the 64-game 2021-22 season has had an effect on the current campaign, Klopp said;
“It must have! We can say that now. But there was no book written about it, no data for it, because nobody did it before.”
Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United has stated that he and his teammates are not afraid to face Manchester City today, January 14, despite the fact that they are one of the best teams in the world.
While Manchester United are just four points behind Manchester City on the Premier League table, Fernandes stated that they believe in themselves and are not afraid of anyone.
He said;
“Man City are one of the best clubs in the league, but it is about believing in ourselves,” said Fernandes. “Now probably you can see a team that has a way to play that convinces the fans and the players it is the right one that can win games.
“You go into every game and the feeling you have now is that we are not afraid to play against anyone. In the past you couldn’t see that. When the toughest games were coming, there was a little bit of ‘can we do it or not?’.
“But now if you look at the fans, the players, everyone, you feel that we can play face-to-face with everyone at this moment. We know what this game means for everyone in the city, in the club, for the fans, for ourselves. It’s been a good moment for us.”
Manchester United has lost more Premier League home games against City than they have against any other opponent. In their last match at the Etihad in October 2022, they were defeated 6-3 by Manchester City. This might be an opportunity to rewrite their history.

Brymo afterwards claimed that that commnent was taken out of context after which he received insults, death threats and a petition was launched against him. The sonic-artist went on to state that someone asked him to apologize to the Igbos, to which he responded, “F*ck The Ndi Igbo!! To H*ll With It! a statement he used to refer to those who were championing that movement for his downfall.
According to Brymo, the word “it” referred to that movement and not the whole trobe itself. He said: I didn’t insult the tribe (Igbos), I will not do that. I apologize to any one who is saddened by such tweet. I was trying to weigh in on very important matters

Peter Obi stated this on Thursday, January 12, 2023, at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), as part of his nationwide campaign ahead of the February 25 presidential election.
“This country is sick and should not be handed over to a sick person. I am not saying that anyone is sick. We have been here for over two hours, we don’t want people who can’t stand for 30 minutes,” Obi said in an interactive session with the varsity’s Business School.

He identified character and trust as two cardinal attributes to look out for in the recruitment of leaders to pilot the affairs of the nation for the next four years.
“In the United States during elections, they go for debates. Somebody once asked Barack Obama questions that were personal and he answered. But here in Nigeria, somebody wants to contest elections, we don’t know his real age, we don’t know his name, we don’t know the schools he attended. Nobody knows his real identity and he is pushing to lead everybody.
“My name is Peter Obi. I can say I went to Christ The King College, went to University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Both the VC today, the DVC today, were my schoolmates. We came to university the same year and left the same year. The people I went to school with, I can see them here today, my seniors and my juniors. How come we now have people who do not have classmates? This is very important”
The former Anambra State governor, however, admitted that everybody can’t be educated equally or formally, but everybody’s records must be straight.
Afe Babalola once told me he never had the opportunity of going to a formal school. There is nothing wrong with that. There are so many people who have done well in life and never went to formal school.
On corruption, he said, “If you say you will fight corruption, let’s go to the road you have passed and see what is remaining there after you left,” stressing that “this year’s election must be based on competence as it requires physical and mental energy. It is not a retirement job.”

Chiamaka Agim, a Lagos State resident and former Zenith Bank employee, has complained that over N4 million mysteriously vanished from her Zenith Bank account.
On Tuesday, January 10, 2023, the lady narrated her ordeal in a video posted to her Twitter page.
She claimed she was relaxing in her apartment on the evening of January 9, 2023, when she received three debit alerts totaling N4.039 million.
The Lagos resident also stated that she opened the bank account, which was empty of all her savings, while working at Zenith Bank.
“When I received the first alert around 8.25, I actually thought it was a WhatsApp message. I checked it and was shocked to see that it was an alert of N3.715 million,” she said.
“I was confused because I did not authorise any transaction, so I logged in to my bank app to check what was happening. That was when I got another debit alert of N222,000 and then I got the third one of N102,000.
Agim further said that Zenith Bank officials did not take her complaint seriously when she reported the incident at two branches of the bank in the Yaba area of the state on Tuesday.
She said was asked to write a letter of complaint, which she did and submitted at each Zenith Bank branch.
Meanwhile, Zenith Bank responding to the lady’s plight has written a two-page letter to one of its customers who watched over N4 million vanish from her account in 20 minutes.
In a response letter signed by Anyar Ikwor, Internal Control Unit, Zenith Bank noted it can only recover a sum of N800,500 out of the missing sum.
Ayim had earlier narrated that was called around 6 pm on Tuesday, 10 January 2023 by a bank official who notified her during the phone conversation that the transaction was done via her e-token.
The bank official further enquired that she must have given out the token pin. However, Ayim said she has never applied for a token or has one linked to her account.

Students at Godfrey Okoye University in Enugu have been ordered to wear their faculty uniforms from now on.
Christian Anieke, the university’s vice-chancellor, issued the order on Tuesday, January 10. According to him, the move became critical in order to prevent students from dressing inappropriately.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Annie said this while addressing the institution’s staff and students as they returned from the Christmas and New Year holidays.
“No student is expected to wear slippers, rugged jeans, coloured hair, long fingers, fez caps, or artificial eyelashes,” he directed.
Mr. Anieke regretted that most students and staff wear t-shirts with unauthorized inscriptions, contrary to the school’s dress code, and ordered male students to comb their hair properly or shave it.
Mrs. Ngozi Uzodike, a lecturer at Anambra state’s Nnamdi Azikiwe University, gives birth to septuplets (seven children).
It was learned that the newly made mother bore two boys and five girls. However, one of the girls did not survive.
The lady who teaches in the department of Business Administration in the institution was delivered of the seven infants on Sunday, 8th January, 2023 at the Obijackson Women and Children Hospital, Okija.
It was gathered that the family was charged 19 million naira as the hospital bill.
While the development is a happy one, the mother of seven lamented that they hadn’t been paid salary since 2020.
Her husband, Mr. Celestine Uzodike, who spoke to reporters on Wednesday revealed that his wife was employed by the institution as a lecturer, but had not received payment since.
The man bemoaned the fact that, even though his wife had been promoted from Assistant Lecturer to Lecturer II, his she had never received a salary of even one kobo.
He appealed to the FG to pay the two-year salary arrears owed to his wife and assist them as they can’t settle the bills of all the kids alone.
“The babies came out prematurely at 26th week gestation period and the hospital said they will need to be placed under intensive care unit and each of them will cost N3million. One of them has died, remaining six babies, that is why they billed us like that.”
Mrs Uzodike, who was weak to speak following her delivery, stated, “All I want is for philanthropists both in Anambra State and Nigeria at large to come to our aid in other to offset the hospital bill.”

Those who were able to show theirs she gave some monetary rewards.
Tacha noted that she isn’t giving money out just because she has a lot of it, but because she cares.
She stressed the importance of keeping in mind that when one votes, one should realize that the vote isn’t for themselves but for their family as the consequence thereof affects everyone.

The Big Brother Naija star Princess Onyejekwe chastised her colleague Phyna for disclosing her history with abortions.
After admitting to having had two abortions in the past, Phyna has been making headlines for a few days. The reality personality claimed that she had her first abortion when she was 19 years old and her second when she was 24.
The reality personality claimed that being in a bad relationship forced her to decide to abort her pregnancy. She also stated in an interview that she is not embarrassed to talk about her history.

The popular Quilox nightclub in Victoria Island has been closed down by the Lagos State Government, through the state Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, for noncompliance with agency directives and organizing an event without a sound control permit.
The enforcement exercise which was jointly carried out by the agency and Lagos State Task Force took place around 4.30pm after receiving several complaints by the neighbors.
Confirming the seal off exercise, LASEPA, General Manager, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, said that the measure became necessary following several distress calls with video evidence (s) received from concerned neighbors to support their claims on alleged environmental nuisances constituted by the club without recourse to the right of host community to peaceful environment.
According to Fasawe:
“To avert situation like this, we recently held a stakeholder’s parley with the Owners/ Chief Executive Officers of night clubs in the state to address the issue of noise pollution during the festive period.
“The states in its magnality, compassionately increased the decibels to accommodate leisure/hospitality business interest.
“We urged them to apply for sound control permits to enable us reach out and notify the host community of the intended program and further deploy our officials to the venue for proper monitoring and prevention of excessive noise pollution.”
According to Fasawe,
“invitation was extended to Quilox club, like every other stakeholders and was ignored by the club for reasons best known to them.”
She noted that no individual or group is bigger than the society and further harped on effort being made by her agency to ensure that all interest is protected under the law.
“Entertainment and Lagos are like a conjoined twin, thus our prolific intervention to preserve the sanctity of the state and at the same time sustain its economic relevance through aggressive environmental sustainability drive.
“To support the entrepreneurship interest of the operators, we had an agreement at the stakeholder’s parley, came up with a communique which serves as a bond guiding all parties on mode of operations during the yuletide period and consequences inherent in non compliance to environmental mutual agreement, ” Fasawe said.

Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has disclosed that he left the church because he felt betrayed by it.
Timini Egbuson
Timini shared his experience of leaving the church during an interview with Lilian Afegbai for her “Lilian’s Coach” YouTube program.
According to him, he was a church boy who used to preach in the main churches when he was a teenager. He disclosed that as time went on, he realized that the church was full of pretenders. He disclosed that he decided to find God and have a personal relationship with him.
In his words;
‘I feel like me and God have a personal relationship. I’ve been betrayed by the church in the past. Like, I was a full church boy. In my teenage years, I used to preach in the main church on Sundays. Everything you think I have now in terms of swag and whatever, it was in church that I learned it.
Then I went to some other churches. But I just realized that there are a lot of pretenses. And I know it’s not a reason to stop going because obviously. So basically you know, it’s just a thing where I was just like okay let me find this man called God on my own. And that’s what we are doing right now.
There’s someone I’m seeing, or talking to, right now that introduced me to this whole Bible plan. I mean, sometimes I just lie to her when she asks “have you checked it this morning?” In terms of reading the Bible again and all that, I’m not really there yet but I like a one-on-one relationship with my God. Talking to him saying “how far baba? this is what I’m doing” and He’s been helping me make the best decisions so far. And it’s calm.

One of the best feelings for Nigerian politicians is knowing they have people who care about them enough to go to any length to help them.
And love causes strange things to happen, but some people on this list like to go overboard. We need them to think more deeply before acting.
Election-related violence
Electoral violence is as old as Nigerian politics, and it’s unfortunate that the pawns of the game are still unaware that they mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. People who will be left to their fate after elections are the ones who physically manipulate the process in order for unqualified people to march into office.
The trend of electoral violence has dipped in recent election cycles, but those who haven’t gotten the message should realize they’re on a fool’s errand.
Fighting for politicians among your friends
As online political discourse has become more toxic over the last eight years, the trend of severing ties with longtime associates over support for politicians has grown.
The main appeal of democracy is that it allows everyone to voice their opinions responsibly without fear of repercussions, but this isn’t always the case between supporters from opposing camps.
Worse, the politicians for whom they are fighting these battles are publicly friends after the elections are over and don’t care about your private relationships. But there you are, cutting yourself off from your own friends.
Trekking interstate
Nigerian voters have upheld a strange tradition of doing interstate treks as a declaration of love for their favorite candidates. Suleiman Hashimu, the most famous of the trekkers, walked 750 kilometers in 18 days from Lagos to Abuja to celebrate Buhari’s 2015 victory. Buhari gave him a handshake and eight years of whatever Nigeria is now.
Dahiru Buba, another infamous Buhari trekker who walked from Gombe to Abuja with his legs in 2015, required financial assistance in 2020 to treat limb pains caused by his unnecessary walk.
You’d think that these consequences would deter future trekkers, but some supporters are already trekking from state to state in support of presidential candidates running in 2023.
Drinking gutter water
Voting for a candidate who goes on to win an election is always cause for celebration for most people. Most normal people would add an extra piece of meat to their rice or go out with friends for a few bottles of beer. But for Bauchi State’s Aliyu Muhammad Sani, Buhari’s re-election victory in 2019 was an excuse to take a full dive into a garbage-filled gutter.
Sani had promised to swim inside a gutter and drink drainage water if Buhari was elected, but perhaps this was the one time it was acceptable to act like a Nigerian politician and not follow through on a promise. To be more specific, swimming in a garbage-filled gutter is hazardous to our health and vision.
Showing your naked bum bum to the internet
Nothing prepares you for logging onto social media and seeing someone’s grandfather at the beach praying to God to help his candidate win. However, Ebun Oloyede, a Nigerian actor, did not consider this when he subjected millions of Nigerians to a video clip of himself completely naked, with a back view that no one asked for or deserved.
We’re pretty sure Oloyede hasn’t dedicated this much to a film role before, so why do it for politics? Let this be the last time, sir.
With millions of views and more than 400,000 likes in a single day, the video quickly gained traction.
The Christmas season is in full swing, and everyone is in a festive mood. The concept of Santa Claus and reindeer is deeply associated with it. The reindeer represent many positive things, including safe travel and endurance during the holiday season. Emirates Airlines, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, is also getting into the holiday mood by converting one of its passenger aircraft into Santa’s sleigh.
The airline shared a short video clip on Instagram of a plane wearing a Santa hat being lifted off the ground and taken to the skies by reindeer in the most Christmas-like way.
Emirates shared the video on Instagram with a caption that reads, “Captain Claus,” requesting permission to take off. “Merry Christmas from Emirates.” #Emirates #FlyBetter.”
Over 450,000 people have liked it, and it’s been viewed about 8 million times. People have appreciated the video a lot, and they have showered it with a lot of lovely remarks in the comment section.
“This makes me want to get on an Emirates holiday,” wrote one user.
Watching the video from another perspective, one user commented, “I think it’s really cruel to have reindeer pull something so heavy. I can’t imagine this will go down well with animal welfare.”

Big Brother Naija reality (BBNaija) star mercy eke has revealed that relationships produced by the reality show are the biggest scam.
Reality stars mercy eke and ike o team used to be one of the ‘perfect’ couples that were produced by one of the biggest reality shows, Big Brother Naija (BBNaija). However, the two went on their separate ways.
In an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Mercy Eke disclosed why she stuck with her former lover Ike Onyema even after the show.
According to Mercy Eke, she didn’t know her fanbase outside the house was that strong because if she knew, she wouldn’t bother herself getting herself involved with Ike. She added that the relationship between herself and Ike wasn’t working but because there was money involved she had to stick around him.
In her words: “BBNaija relationships are the biggest scam, it was even original for me initially, as a matter of fact, if I had known that I was a strong housemate and that people loved me for me, I wouldn’t have bothered getting involved with him.
I wouldn’t say it was a strategy, for me, we flowed with it but we had to put up a show even when not happy for people who aren’t even in relationships. If it is not working out, you move but in my case I couldn’t, I had to be there cos of money, otherwise, I won’t have my complete money.
Superstar Afrobeat singer, Davido, and his wife, Chioma, are spotted in the company of family ahead of the Christmas celebration.
This comes after the singer made his first appearance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup closing event after weeks of mourning the loss of his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke Jnr.
A video making rounds on social media captured the singer with Chioma amidst the company of her inlaws in preparing for Christmas.
Davido who is known to be fond of children was spotted having a playtime with one of his nephews, while his wife chatted with another family member.
The video, however, stirred emotional reactions from fans who expressed heartfelt concern for the couple.
“Oh Ify would have been jumping everywhere full of excitement. Devil no like good thing. Jesus complete their joy and restore all they have lost,” a social media user wrote.
Another added, “Davido’s natural love for kids show everywhere he goes as long as kids are around. 😍😍.”
Tory Lanez was found guilty on all three counts in the closely watched trial over whether he shot Megan Thee Stallion in the foot, ending a nearly two-week trial and setting the stage for a potentially lengthy prison sentence.
On Friday, a jury in Los Angeles delivered its verdict (Dec. 23). Lanez was found guilty on all counts, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and recklessly discharging a firearm. He could spend up to 22 years in prison.
Tory Lanez performs on stage during Wireless Festival 2019 on July 05, 2019 in London.
Upon the reading of the verdict, Lanez’s father, who was present in the gallery, began screaming. “This wicked system. Shame of all of you!” he cried out.
Throughout the trial, Lanez’s defense team did everything they could to cast doubt on who pulled the trigger, imagining Megan’s ex-friend and assistant Harris as the shooter. They relied on inconsistent statements made by Megan in the more than two years since the incident, as well as an account from alleged eyewitness Sean Kelly, to make their case. Kelly, on the other hand, undermined the defense team’s theory by giving confusing and contradictory testimony from the stand on Tuesday, claiming he saw a muzzle flash near where Megan and Harris were scuffling in the street near his house, but also that he saw a man matching Lanez’s description holding a gun and, at another point, that he never saw a gun at all.
Megan Thee Stallion
Prosecutors, on the other hand, have repeatedly emphasized Megan’s emotional testimony last week, when the Grammy winner held back sobs as she recounted the ordeal and said she’s received severe public backlash in the aftermath of the incident, saying at one point, “I wish he had just shot and killed me if I would have known I was going to go through this torture.” In addition to Megan’s direct claims that Lanez was the one who fired the gun, prosecutors questioned the defense team’s theory that Harris was to blame. Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott strongly suggested in closing arguments that Harris, who previously told prosecutors that Lanez shot Megan and assaulted her when she tried to intervene, contradicted her prior statements only after being threatened or paid off.
Megan was shot at least once in the foot in the early morning hours of July 12, 2020, on her way home from a small party thrown by Kylie Jenner. According to Megan, after a fight broke out between Lanez, Harris, and herself in an SUV driven by Lanez’s security guard Jaquan Smith, she exited the vehicle only to be shot at multiple times by Lanez, who she claimed at one point shouted, “Dance, b—-” while firing out the window. That is clearly the version of the story that jurors, who reached their unanimous verdict in less than two days, chose to believe.
If Lanez or Smith had testified, the trial might have continued past Christmas, but on Wednesday, the rapper announced he would not be doing so, and the defense chose not to call Smith, citing procedural complications and the possibility of a delay that might have required the jury to reconvene after the holiday.
On Thursday, Megan was not present when the verdict was read.
Because he refused to adopt the children from a previous marriage, the young woman kicked her partner out of the house.
Social media users have been sharing a video of a man’s partner throwing away his closet after an argument.
The woman had suggested the option of having her kids adopted by her new boyfriend who, however, turned down the proposal.
The American man could be heard in the video stating his reason for refusing to adopt her children.
“All this because I won’t do some type of adoption. I am not doing adoption so you can take all of my money,” he said.
This stirred reactions from social media users, some of which took the side of the man while others condemned him for running from responsibilities.
“I’m sure he’s taking care of the kids but doesn’t want to fully adopt like sign the papers. Where their real daddy at??” a social media user identified as @onyinyay wrote.
Another user @omariyaa added, “Then leave her alone, if u can’t accept her kids. Leave her home.”
@keleomega_ insisted, “He accepted the baby but don’t want to adopt. And you guys are here blaming him like seriously. You went to a club and got pregnant with one Marlian and forcing innocent man to adopt it. Why women don’t like taking responsibility and accountability of their wrong choices. Women have bullied men to be mumu. It’s your right to accept or reject things you don’t want. Don’t allow people to bully you.”
Sammy West, the sister of Nollywood star Regina Daniels, has criticized his sister over an Instagram post.
Regina Daniels, the billionaire’s wife, posted enticing images on her Facebook that display a lot of flesh. Many people were drawn to the actress because of her bare physique.
In her post, Regina Daniels, who was spotted walking around in a nightgown, said that she didn’t feel like doing anything because she wasn’t in the mood.
She captioned her post, “Today I really don’t feel like doing anything but walk around in my nightie, sipping wine from a bottle 🍷. The Peachy dress is a bomb from @regaeofficial”.
Upon witnessing her sister’s post, her brother attacked her in the comment area for what she had posted. In the comment box, he wrote:
Tiwa Savage, a Nigerian ace singer, recently cautioned her son, Jamil, after revealing his intention to break hearts.
This occurred during a recent live session in which Tiwa expressed her doubts about whether she should keep releasing music or focus on her priorities.
Jamil, who was standing nearby, then advised his mother to concentrate on breaking hearts because he planned to do the same.
Tiwa, on the other hand, immediately cautioned Jamil and advised him not to break anyone’s heart.
Chioma Avril Rowland, the wife of Nigerian superstar Davido, has gotten some netizens talking after she wore an outfit worth more than N6 million.
Davido and Chioma were photographed together for the first time weeks after the death of their son Ifeanyi. The couple has been silent on social media for several weeks as they grieve the loss of their son.
The two were getting ready to fly to Qatar for the artist’s performance at the closing ceremony of the 2022 Qatar World Cup event, according to the first post Davido shared on his Instagram page.
Chioma was seen wearing an expensive designer outfit worth over N6 million in a new photo that they shared.
Chioma was spotted wearing a N101,574 ($228) green PUMA X Ami jacket. She paired the jacket with deconstructed Sun & Cloud cargo pants that cost N62,370 ($140) and designer sunglasses. According to websites, Davido’s wife also wore a Puma CA Pro Mid sneaker that costs N5.6 million (11999 EUR).
Nigerian superstar David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has responded to a notorious Ghanaian troll who made a disparaging comment about Ifeanyi’s death.
A few weeks ago, word spread that Davido and Chioma’s son, Ifeanyi, had drowned. According to reports, the 4-year-old boy was discovered in the family’s swimming pool. The news went viral on the internet, with fans from all over the world sending their condolences to the Adeleke family.
However, as many people expressed their condolences, a blogger known on Twitter as Albert Nat Hyde took to his page to make an insensitive post about Ifeanyi’s death.
According to the troll, Ifeanyi died as a result of Davido’s negligence and carelessness. He went on to say that Davido should be held accountable for his son’s untimely death.
“Davido has always been careless and carefree. Blame him for the sudden death of his son”, he tweeted.
Davido, who recently resurfaced online, responded to the blogger, praying that he never goes through what he has.
I’m writing this letter on behalf of all Nigerians. I’m not here to request an iPad or a car, though if you could, that would be fantastic (especially the car, as I’m sick of riding the danfo bus). No, this is a request for a better Nigeria.
Honestly, Santa, I have beef with you. How do you have the power to give people whatever they want (as long as they’ve been good), and you haven’t given me the better Nigeria I’ve been asking for? I’ve been a good girl for so long: I’ve stopped stealing meat from the pot in the middle of the night, I now do chores without complaining. Meanwhile, our evil Nigerian leaders continue to acquire new cars, houses, vacations, and so on. Is it equitable? Who are you on?
I’ve returned to inquire. And I need you to come through for me and other Nigerians now more than ever. 2022 has been a particularly difficult year for us. ASUU went on strike for eight months, threatening students’ lives. Some even abandoned school to start their own businesses. This year, the national grid failed more times than people at a Michael Jackson concert. Electricity supply was limited, affecting business and other aspects of people’s daily lives. The answer is yes.
Then there was the insane inflation. Food prices seemed to double every week. Santa, Double Chickwizz is now 1,500 (it was 1,000 at the start of 2022), can you believe it? One pack of Indomie costs 140 (was 70), evaporated milk costs 600 (was 300), yam costs 2000 (was 800), and one egg costs 100 (was 50). Do you see how we’re suffering?
Also, insecurity is at an all-time high, with people being laid off or owed salaries for months, the naira depreciating, SARS still operating, and no one has responded to the Lekki tollgate massacre of 2020.
If you’re wondering what our leaders are doing about these issues, they’re out there being actors, influencers, travel bloggers, content creators, dancers, and jokers, devising policies that will make Nigerians’ lives even more difficult. And that’s why I’ve come to you for help, Santa. Can you make a new Nigeria your Christmas gift to all Nigerians? We’ve seen enough shege abeg.

Cristiano Ronaldo may have parted ways with Manchester United, but Gary Neville believes the Premier League hasn’t seen the last of the Portuguese legend.
WHAT OCCURED? Following an explosive interview with Piers Morgan in which the five-time Ballon d’Or winner slammed prominent figures from United’s past and present, the club decided to release the legendary figure as a free agent. Various landing spots for Ronaldo are now being touted, from America to the Middle East, but Neville hopes his former teammate can find another club that allows him to shine on the biggest stage – with the possibility of remaining in England.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Piers Morgan
WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to Sky Sports, Neville said: “How does he see the end of his career playing out? Is he seeing the end of his career playing in minor leagues, or does he see himself playing in one of the major leagues and continuing at that level? I hope it’s the latter and he can find a club in a major league, even the Premier League – I’d love for him to stay in the Premier League at a club that can have him up front and we can watch him every week. That’s what we want to see, him playing.”
Cristiano Ronaldo
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ronaldo has been training with Real Madrid in recent days in an effort to stay fit and sharp following a 2022 World Cup campaign that ended his international career at the highest level. “I felt sorry for Cristiano in the end when he was walking down that tunnel in tears – that long walk down the tunnel that they showed after the game against Morocco,” Neville said of seeing the 37-year-old bow out of that tournament after playing a bit-part role from the bench. That’s never a good image because you know he’s thinking, ‘This is it, I’ll never play in this tournament again.'”
WHAT COMES NEXT? While much of the speculation surrounding Ronaldo’s future has centered on a supposedly lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia, new rumors suggest that Chelsea may yet rekindle their interest in the all-time great, allowing him to continue gracing the Premier League stage.
Nollywood has had a phenomenal year in 2022. It’s time to accept that Nollywood ate this year, whether it was because to the launch of a new streaming service or an action movie that had spectators hanging by their necks.
Even though the move to watch more streaming content used up a lot of our data and nearly drove us into bankruptcy, some Nollywood actors and their performances were worth the time and money spent.
Genovevah Umeh — Blood Sisters and Far From Home
Geneovevah Umeh
It’s no small task to steal the show from a group of actors as talented as Kate Henshaw, Ramsey Nouah, Kehinde Bankole, and Gabriel Afolayan. However, Genovevah Umeh successfully committed that crime on EbonyLife’s Blood Sisters. Genovevah’s acting transformed what could have been a caricature into a fully realized human being with eyes that spoke much more than any language could.
Unquestionably, Genovevah will be the 2022 breakout star.
Meg Otanwa — For Maria: Ebun Pataki
Meg Otanwa
Meg Otanwa is the only actor on this list who has only appeared in one movie, but anyone who saw her performance in For Maria: Ebun Pataki will agree that that was all she needed to round off the year 2022 on a high note. Meg’s subtle portrayal of Derin, a young mother battling postpartum depression, had the internet talking and researching for weeks. She went deeper than any actor I’ve seen in a while.
Meg Otanwa gave the best performance of the year in what was the role of a lifetime.
Bimbo Ademoye — Anikulapo, Iya Barakat Teropi Secxxion and Selina
Bimbo Ademoye
The unending gift that is Bimbo Ademoye. Bimbo has regularly given outstanding performances ever since catching my eye with her colorful character in Sugar Rush in 2019, even when the movie’s premise is used as a weapon against her.
Despite the praise she has received for her comedic timing, Kunle Afolayan’s puzzled Anikulapo benefited greatly by Bimbo’s dramatic and sensual performance as Queen Arolake. P.S. If you came to watch the funny Bimbo, her Instagram skit turned web series, Iya Barakat Teropi Secxxion will have you laughing so hard you’ll spit out your lunch.
Uzoamaka Aniunoh — Juju Stories andDiiche
Uzoamaka Aniunoh
Each project is completed by Uzoamaka Aniunoh, who makes decisions and acts in ways that feel appropriate for the role she is portraying. The closest thing to being is acting. Uzoamaka’s portrayal of Inspector Ijeoma Anene on Diiche is one of the rare performances that renews my trust in television, even if I’ve pondered aloud why Nigerian TV shows don’t have the same appeal they once did.
Deyemi Okanlawon — Blood Sisters andElesin Oba: The King’s Horseman
Deyemi Okanlawon
I can’t be upset since Deyemi Okanlawon genuinely has acting talent, even though he’s quickly becoming the Noah Centineo of Nollywood. A massive flex for any actor would be marking attendance on not just one but two significant Netflix films (the third, Far From Home, drops this December), but all of Deyemi’s flexing takes place onscreen.
Deyemi is obedient and devoted as Olunde in Elesin Oba: The King’s Horseman, a far cry from his horrifying and repulsive performance as Kola in Blood Sisters.
Odunlade Adekola — King of Thieves andElesin Oba: The King’s Horseman
Odunlade Adekola
It’s obvious that Odunlade Adekola wants you to know that he is more than simply the king of memes in 2022. In the Yoruba retribution epic King of Thieves, Odunlade plays the imposing Oba Adegbite Tadenikaro, turning down the humor while still creating a fascinating and memorable figure.
While his “Father Christmas” beard in Elesin Oba: The King’s Horseman might be disconcerting, it takes nothing from Odunlade’s riveting work as the film’s conflicted eponymous character, a performance that’s one of 2022’s best.
Bisola Aiyeola — Dwindle, Flawsome andDinner at My Place
Bisola Aiyeola
Given how well Bisola Aiyeola continues to perform in her parts, it’s difficult to criticize Nollywood producers that choose to use former reality TV stars in their productions. Bisola is a versatile actress who has the ability to make her audience laugh as though they are seeing a stand-up performance in one scene and cry as though they have just been given breakfast in the next. Because that role hasn’t yet been written, I’m waiting for one that makes the most of her abilities.
Gabriel Afolayan — For Maria: Ebun Pataki, Blood Sisters and U Turn
Gabriel Afolayan
With his eyes closed, Gabriel Afolayan would be included on any list of the finest performances of the year, if we’re keeping it at 100. Even when the movie is unworthy of his talent, he remains devoted to every character and keeps it entertaining. Thankfully, Gabriel had the opportunity to dive into a wide range of delicious parts in 2022, and he devoured them all.
Gabriel produced a wide range of characters, with the only thing they had in common being the actor who performed them, from the devoted but perplexed husband in For Maria: Ebun Pataki to the cunning and neglected brother in Blood Sisters.
Tina Mba — For Maria: Ebun Pataki, U-Turn and Finding Hubby 2
Tina Mba
Even in modest supporting roles, very few actresses have the same command of the screen as Tina Mba. While it may have been simple to despise her in For Maria: Ebun Pataki, Tina portrays the part with such fervor that we can’t help but comprehend her character’s point of view, whether it is correct or incorrect.
The scene where she anoints her daughter-in-chamber law’s and then applies some on her breast to induce lactation is one I can’t get out of my head. The most Nigerian mother thing ever, despite being quite difficult to see.
Not every time beer pong and truth or dare are played. Instead, try playing one of these childhood games. But let us assist you in modifying them to accommodate your adulthood back pain and sufferhead.
Catcher
Who said your game night had to be held inside? Step outside in the middle of the night and start chasing each other down the street. That’s how you have a good time.
Suwe
Allow people to put their fitness to the test by jumping from box to box on one leg. The loser is responsible for bringing food to the next games night.
Tinko
Anyone who did not play this game as a child was missing out. For their sake, you must bring this back.
Hide and seek
This would be a lot more entertaining if you decorated your house to appear haunted. It creates atmosphere by incorporating elements from horror films. But don’t try it if your house is haunted and you frequently hear footsteps and whispers at night.
Musical Chairs
This game could actually benefit for a little violence when you think about it. When it’s down to two people dancing and dancing around a chair, give them boxing gloves and let the fight really begin.
Skipping (Rope)
Who won’t love a games night that’s dedicated to their fitness? You can take turns trying to see who gets to 100 skips first.
When will do do your wedding?
This should slap harder since you’re adults now. All the single people at the games night need to feel the heat of their status while playing this game.
It’s a difficult time for Nigerians living abroad. It’s colder than your motherland, and all of your friends are at home with their families. If you’re lucky, your own family will be there to support you. How will you get through this without going insane?
We have suggestions.
Enter someone else’s relationship
If you’re desperate enough, there’s a solution for everything. Enter a relationship that is not yours, either with permission or by force. They believe they can snuggle together while wearing matching pyjamas? Demonstrate to them that ‘Naija no dey carry last.’
Buy plenty mirrors
The mind is not as intelligent as we imagine it to be. That is why there are illusions and magic. Surround your room with mirrors so that when you walk in, you feel like you’re in a room full of people just like you. Abi, don’t you like yourself?
Do igbeux and shayo
What else can make you feel less isolated? When you start to feel lonely, take something that will make you believe your family is in the room with you, commenting on your weight and asking when you’re going to marry. Just like in the old days.
Join a coven
If you are unable to find physical companionship, you can always turn to the spiritual plane. The winch was not caught by the cold. Furthermore, witches and wizards all over the world use brooms to fly. You won’t have to trek or disappear with bad graphic effects.
If witchcraft isn’t your thing, find a spirit husband or wife. We have a comprehensive tutorial.
Come back to Nigeria👀
Please return home. Isn’t this normal flooding, insecurity, and inflation? Is that why you want to freeze in another country? Come home jo, let’s throw banger together🥱
This is not the voice of your village people😂.
Set your goals for next year
It’s always a good idea to spend time lying to yourself about what you want to start, stop, and achieve in the coming year. Write down one goal per day and reflect on it. Before you know it, time has passed and winter has come to an end.
Sleep a lot
Someone who is awake realizes there is no one for them to play with. Sleep, wake up, eat, and return to bed. It has only been three months of doing this every day. Work that is simple.
Dorcas Fapson, a well-known actress and DJ, has declared her rocky romance with superstar singer Skiibii to be her biggest mistake of the year.
In an interview with well-known media personality Toke Makinwa, she made this disclosure.
skiibii
When Toke Makinwa questioned her about her biggest mistake of the year, she chuckled and responded that Toke already knew.
She continued by saying that what she and Skiibii had been juju rather than true love, and her eyes are now clear.
Dorcas claimed that because of her inherent goodness, she had never had to confront any of her ex-boyfriends, but Skiibii had done something that supported what Dorcas had been saying about him.
Young musician and former DMW signee Yonda begs his old manager Davido to forgive and accept him back.
The musician posted a discussion he had with the Afrobeats superstar on social media, pleading for another opportunity.
Yonda made a prodigal son-like appeal to be accepted back into the DMW family after being disclosed to Davido that he had been blacklisted in the music business and that his music career was over.
The DMW CEO responded by saying that he misses his ex-signee as well.
Yonda continued to beg him, telling him that Davido was the nicest thing that had ever happened to him.
His message read:
“Baddest don’t live me hanging pls Let me rise again, You know you can do it. I have been black listed in the game baddest.
Take me back Like the prodigal son Rear gem. I miss you, I don’t know where I got it wrong with you again my king.maybe you sit my a$$ down n make me come correct with you this time.
D only thing still relevant about is (yondadmw), F… up no Dey sour baba. Pls treat my, f….up n let me be your slave again, im not hungry my boss but my career is dead Don’t forsake me David
Don’t want to b that snake dat walks on a rock with no path. You re d best thing that has happened to me.”
A broken-hearted Nigerian woman has described how her boyfriend died in her presence while she did nothing to help him.
Her boyfriend had stopped working out before his death because he discovered he had high blood pressure.
She paid him a visit one day, and he had a heart attack in her presence. However, while attempting to call an ambulance using his phone, she noticed he had been chatting with a girl she had warned him to avoid.
She didn’t call an ambulance because she was angry, and he died right there.
She wrote:
“Please hide my name. During Asuu strike, I visited my boyfriend. He stopped working out when he found out that he has high blood pressure.
“So this other day, i was in bed with my boyfriend and we were both busy on our phones. Out of the blue he fell from the bed. I noticed he was having a heart att@k.took his phone with the aim of calling an ambulance (Kellina hospital gwarimpa) and his brother, I noticed his WhatsApp was still on.
“Out of curiosity I read his last chat. He was chatting with a girl he promised he would stay away from, and she was breaking up with him. After begging and begging and failing, he suffered a heart att@ck.
“Out of anger I didn’t call the ambulance and his brother. He died right in front of me and I didn’t feel a thing at the moment. I was hurt that he was chatting with another woman right next to me. It’s been 6 months now and his de@th is starting to haunt me.
“I’m blaming myself for what happened and i can’t talk to anyone about it. They think i tried to save him but what they don’t know is I only made the call for help after he died. What can i do to get rid of this guilt?”
Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has been named Audiomack’s 2022 Artiste of the Year.
According to the popular streaming platform, Asake earned the honor because of his dedication to delivering hit songs in 2022 and his excellent musical outputs in featured tracks.
According to a press release posted on the streaming platform’s website on Thursday, December 15, 2022:
“In September, Asake released his debut album, Mr Money With The Vibe, a 30-minute barrage of party starters that amassed over 330 million streams on Audiomack and debuted at No. 66 on the Billboard 200.
Mr Money With The Vibe broke the record for the highest-charting debut album by a Nigerian artist.
The fuji-amapiano fusion drew Burna Boy to join a remix in March, which was re-upped by Audiomack in April. Burna Boy’s endorsement propelled Asake to new heights, cementing him as Nigeria’s first big breakout of 2022. It was a lofty achievement at the time, but there was more to come.
Asake’s tone is centered on using his journey as a case study for overcoming the struggles of young Nigerians. Prior to this year’s breakthrough, he spent many years working in the entertainment industry.
When he first appeared on the scene, it appeared that streaming and local radio charts were waiting for him to take his place at the top, which his songs did.
With hits like “PBUY,” “Bandana” with Fireboy DML, and then a deal with independent juggernaut EMPIRE to sing “Terminator,” Asake’s accomplishments quickly became superfluous.
This year, Asake redefined what it means to be a breakout artist. Amidst an explosion of amapiano and the continued global rise of West African music.
Asake has conquered cross-cultural fusion like no one else, to the point of putting South African music heavyweights on notice.”
Audiomack presents ARTIST OF THE YEAR to @asakemusik.

Talented Nollywood performer Deyemi Okanlawon has stated that not all well-known actors are wealthy; others are impoverished.
Deyemi tweeted some advice for performers, saying they shouldn’t always aim for the highest-paying roles or the highest-grossing films because they aren’t always indicative of a “large bag.”
The tweet by the actor got Twitter users wondering how fame does not equate to wealth. A user asked:
“I thought the fame brings the bag??”
Deyemi’s reply reads:
“There are lots of famous broke ppl… fame is a byproduct, it’s the talent and the grind (work strategy and work ethic) that brings the bag”
Guys, gather around and tell your juju tales because I used to eat my grandpa’s juju’s eggs, urinate in their faces while I was at the shrine, and steal most of their money back then.
Even worse, I would play with the juju, deface the shrine, beat them with a cane, and even throw them away.
Even now, everything makes sense. They seem to be afraid of me, isn’t it? My brother and I go to a certain brook where we frequently swim to skulk in the underbrush every December. People typically do leave their offerings by this creek. You can trust me to consume all the sacrifices, including biscuits, Coke, Fanta, and occasionally rice and stew.
We would pee on them, pull them off, and gorge ourselves on the fruits. Usually, these farms had pineapples and bananas that were ripped, protected with juju. Sincerely speaking, nothing occurred prior to today. Truth be told, ‘Na mumu dey fear juju.’
We West Africans would be on the Forbes list in full if this juju thing worked. But na them Bill Gates, Elon Musk and co dey there. Just so you know we don get new world richest man sha, him name na Bernard Arnault.
If juju is real, why aren’t we using it for our nation? You sef think am!
Last but not least, please refrain from telling me that this juju of a thing is true. I will not doubt anything juju again if you can show me that it is real by bringing it out in the open.
The Afrobeats Superstar has a stunning new appearance that fits him.
Ayodeji Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, is an accomplished singer, songwriter, and performer from Nigeria. His new hairstyle has surprised many.
The Afrobeats artist, a well-known fashion enthusiast, often prefers to keep his hair simple, but this time, the father of four had made the decision to entirely change things up. As a featured act on Canadian heavyweight rapper and singer Drake’s “One Dance,” Wiz recently added another achievement to his resume by becoming the first Nigerian artist to receive a diamond certification in the US. Wiz manages to stay in the news all the time.
The singer, who is already in town, made his first public appearance with his new hairstyle in Accra while clubbing with some friends, including Ghanaian singing sensation King Promise. He is scheduled to perform at the Accra Sports Stadium in Ghana on December 10, 2022.
As was to be expected, fans have expressed their opinions about the new hairstyle on social media.

Nevertheless, a few hours after the album’s release, it has since been removed from Spotify and Apple Music.
Some sources claim that “I Admit,” which immediately sparked an uproar on social media, is a bootleg version, which means R Kelly didn’t release it. or Kelly’s group. Prior to being posted to the two major streaming services, Apple Music and Spotify, some songs were available on SoundCloud as early as 2018. Since his arrest in June 2022, R. Kelly has been incarcerated and is currently serving a 30-year sentence for sex trafficking.

In a recent interview with Highsnobiety Magazine, Tems discussed how her life has altered since she shot to fame throughout the world.
Tems, a global celebrity, recently discussed what changed as she rose to prominence in an interview with Highsnobiety Magazine. The singer, who spoke candidly about a variety of topics, said that nothing had changed other than having less time for oneself.
She disclosed: “The only thing I would say that has changed is this, less time with yourself… Less time where it’s also more adventures for me, more uncertain, but that’s the beauty of it.”
The fact that Tems has had one of the largest years in 2022 thanks to significant collaborations, brand endorsement deals, and Grammy nominations, is beyond dispute. However, the singer made it clear that there would be more from her.
She remarked: I guess people only know me based off the last thing I did. But I’ve done so many things that are yet to be released, that I’ve already moved on from. And yeah, I feel like I’m five, ten steps ahead. And when it’s time, I’ll be excited to share a lot of the things that I’ve been up to.”

Estimates of Wizkid’s earnings from his “More Love, Less Ego” performance at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in the US.
At his “More Love Less Ego” concert at the Madison Square Garden (MSG) in the US, Wizkid gave a performance that will be remembered in history, and reports about how much money he made from the event have surfaced.
On November 16, 2022, the starboy had a performance in front of a crowd of 20,000 people in New York, USA. It was said that the artist sold over 12,000 tickets for the event at a price of $77 each, making the performance one to remember.
The artist reportedly earned more over $1 million from the single-day performance, according to rumors. In the days ahead, the singer would face a fresh obstacle. Burna Boy took the stage before Wizkid, and it was revealed how much he reportedly made as well. Wizkid is not the first African performer to appear at the venue.
Once the Christmas season begins, a lot of people start dating. Additionally, it isn’t just because of love. One explanation is that they don’t plan to spend Christmas at home, therefore they need someone to spend all of their time with. Here are 7 reasons.
You’ll be able to bring someone home.
When you go to your family, they often ask when you’re getting married. Dating in December will give you a companion to bring home for the Christmas season. Your relatives will stop bugging you about getting married once they realize how serious it is. Only you and your December partner will be aware of the reality.
They’ll always have your time.
Most workplaces would have closed for the year by the second or third week of December. If you start dating someone today, they will have your time. No more I’m busy chasing KPIs.
Uber fare shared.
In December, Uber and Bolt pricing are so expensive that you’ll be tempted to just buy your own car. However, if you date at this time, you’ll have someone to split the transport fare with (as long as you go out together). And if they’re wealthy enough, they’ll cover the entire cost.
You will receive a Christmas gift.
Your December partner will get you a Christmas present if no one else does. And that’s a good enough reason to go on a Christmas date.
You’ll have someone to take pictures in your pyjamas with.
You won’t be bothered by other couples’ adorable PJ photos since you’ll have someone to snap your own. People will “awww” under the post even if the romance is only temporary. That’s all that matters.
No dating stress.
There is less stress because no one is concerned about the future of the relationship. You base your decisions on vibes and enjoy the relationship for as long as it lasts.
You will not be attending events by yourself.
You’d have someone to go to events with if your friends were married or busy with other things. And you can both do annoying couple things like feed each other food, take cute pictures of each other, kiss, and so on.
We’ve approached one of the busiest seasons of the year for the entertainment industry, and as always, Lagos, Nigeria, is the greatest location to be.
It’s no longer a rumour that Lagos’s best entertainment takes place in December, and this year, Detty December is only going to get bigger after a highly successful year for Afrobeats and the Nigerian music scene in general.
The best time of the year to visit Lagos is in December, often known as “Detty December,” when there are constantly entertaining events and concerts going on. In Lagos, Nigeria, the month of December is typically characterized by intense celebration and high-intensity activity. This year’s Afrobeats movement was dominated by Nigerian performers, thus it’s believed that the concert culture will be further developed.
Naturally, December 2022 promised to be another hit, especially with the enormous influx of Nigerians from the diaspora, sometimes known as the “IJGBs” (I just got back), coming home.
The major concerts that will be held in Lagos in December 2022 are listed below since we love you so much and want you to have the ideal holiday schedule.
See Concert Details below

On the 18th of November 2022, Ibadan experienced a whole atmosphere of vibes. Thanks to Nowsoundsfriday, a division of THEREALNOW company.
If you were present at the Premiaxfaaji party, it was a festival, and if you were in Ibadan on this day and missed it, you missed a major event.
We know Nowsoundsfriday for (Youth, Relate, and Network), and believe me, on November 18th, 2022, they gave out the best of the best to the city of Ibadan.
For the first time in Ibadan, one of the largest cities in West Africa, Nowsoundsfriday hosted a 14-hour party, and believe me, it was a blast. Grab some popcorn and join me as I walk you through the event’s journey.
The event, which began at 2 p.m. in the city of Ibadan, began with these extreme bike men and their hot wheels. There was a bustle as they entered the event grounds. The roar of their bikes drew the attention of others on the event grounds. This spectacle caused everyone to wonder, and the majority of those present took videos of it.
The top hype-men from all over Nigeria, DJs, and other Nigerian artistes performed at the event. There were games, refreshments, a photo booth, and lots of activities.
Taking you to the event’s most exciting part. It was only a few minutes before 12 a.m. when the mysterious rain began. Yes, it rained in Ibadan today. We were shocked because rain falling during this time of year is unusual. But that didn’t stop the most thrilling part of the event from happening. Before I tell you what happened, let me say that these Ibadan folks don’t like to party in the rain. They all hurried to the nearest available tents to shelter themselves from the rain. Well, the rain stopped a few minutes later, and guess what. The event was restarted, and there came in the fireworks.
Moving to the time where one of Nigeria’s top DJs (DJ PHATT), also known as The Spirit Of Dance, on stage. You will lose your home training on the dance floor whenever this guy is on stage. To be honest, this guy ‘na bad guy’.
DJ PHATT
The party did not stop there, o. Let’s not forget the hype men and hype lady who kept the party going all night, including the uncontested and undisputed hypeman Olamisky, mc crystal, superstar mc billin, and hot dj Hallomer. I’m not sure if this hallomer sef is a hypeman or a DJ anymore. But trust me, this guy does his job with 100% commitment and passion.
Hot DJ HallomerUndisputed Hypman OlamiskyMc Crystal Mc Billin
The people of Ibadan and all other youths that came from other cities for the event on the other hand, did not want to return home. They wanted the party to last forever, but the party wasn’t themed to last forever.
That’s all I have for now. Just so you’re aware. If you missed this event, you missed something a major thing, and I don’t think you should miss the next one Nowsoundsfriday is planning.
Dinma (002) one of the best host in Nigeria has something for you guys!
HOST: Chidinma

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC candidate for president, allegedly claimed once that holding a campaign in the South-East was a waste of time and resources, according to former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal.
The APC member claimed that Tinubu made the remark during the party’s primaries after he named a fellow Muslim as his running mate for the 2023 elections. Tinubu and the APC member afterwards parted ways.
On a Channels Television broadcast, Lawal discussed Tinubu’s chances of winning the upcoming presidential election in February and stated that he had no possibility of doing so.
In addition, he declared that he was still an APC member while endorsing Peter Obi of the Labour Party. During the interview, Lawal stated;
“During the convention, he didn’t even allow us go the South-East.
There are only a few weeks left in 2022, so you should already be able to tell whether you’re a baller or a mechanic. And if the latter applies to you, you’ll need these suggestions to make the most of the next holiday season.
Fast and pray.
Committing your account to God through prayer is the first step. Will he increase the value of your account, assign an assistant to find you, or grant you concert tickets in your dreams? If you don’t try, you won’t know.
Buy affordable tickets ‘not asake’ tickets😭’
Who’s to say that you need to be a big boy to hang out with them? Whether you obtained your ticket through a giveaway or just because you are the bird that didn’t sleep is irrelevant. What counts is that you’re outside, dancing to your favorite artist’s performance, and screaming your lungs out.
Get rid of your properties.
You need to increase your income because that is the sole reason you aren’t a baller. If you don’t have any properties to sell, don’t worry. You can make a lot of money by selling your body. Should we point out that you have a functioning kidney and a spare?
Take public transportation.
On the day of the event, you still don’t have enough cash to pay for Uber because you had to sell your father’s land to get Asake’s tickets. Don’t worry; you’ll enjoy public transportation. Use “o wa” as practice for when your favorite performs, as a pro tip.
Possess wealthy friends.
They advise follow who know road but hold your tfare! Additionally, it’s an indication that you should start cutting ties with your current buddies if they aren’t offering you free tickets. Were we able to figure out how you’d meet the wealthy? No. But we’re confident you’ll figure it out.
Eat from home.

Nigerians are in grief after learning that popular gospel musician Sammie Okposo has passed away at the age of 51.
The “Welu Welu” crooner slumped on Friday, November 25, and died, according to reports that have since gone viral.
His death’s circumstances remain largely a mystery.
You may remember that the music producer became popular in the first few months of the year after he openly confessed to having an affair with his beautiful wife. Then, using his official social media account, he started to apologize to her.
His Instagram account was then deleted.
Sammie Okposo is survived by his gorgeous wife and their wonderful kids.
For the first time since they acquired the team 19 years ago, the Glazers family has put up Manchester United Football Club (2003).
Amancio Ortega, the 18th richest man in the world, has expressed interest in purchasing Manchester United from the Glazers. According to Forbes, Ortega, 86, is worth 61.3 billion dollars. The senior executives have been told of his interest in United, according to the Manchester United Evening News.
Ortega, who owns 59% of Inditex, last year named his daughter Maria Ortega Perez to lead the Zara clothing company (2021). Eight retail locations are operated by his Artexio company, which as of January 31, 2022, had revenue of €27.7 billion.
He owns real estate holdings in Madrid, Barcelona, London, Chicago, Miami, and New York, among other cities, but he has never invested in a sports business.

Ronaldo tears up when his country national anthem was sung by portugal team.
The Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo set a new and unequaled record with his first goal in Portugal’s opening World Cup encounter against the Black Stars of Ghana, thus calling him legendary is most definitely not a stretch.

800 goals have been scored by CR7 throughout all competitions. He still holds the record for most goals scored in a football season.
Following the player’s chat with Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United might not be exiting the spotlight any time soon.
The most recent information regarding the interview between Ronaldo and Piers Morgan is the Glazer’s response. Avram Glazer, a co-owner of Manchester United, gave a speech close to his residence in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he wished Cristiano Ronaldo the best of luck in his future undertakings.
Ronaldo alleged that the Glazer family showed insufficient interest in the club’s daily operations. He also criticised the club’s owners for not upgrading the facilities, saying that nothing has changed at Manchester United since he first played there.
He is a great Manchester United player, I appreciate everything that he had done for the club, and I wish him the best in the future.
He also discussed his family’s choice to sell Manchester United, which they had purchased 19 years earlier. He claims that after considering various options, the board chose to investigate them for Manchester United.

The most recent player to comment on the German’s decision to cover their lips during the game against Japan is Real Madrid’s attacker Eden Hazard.
Most football fans throughout the world have responded strongly to the four-time World Cup champions’ posed photograph. Speaking during a post-game interview, Hazard was discussing Belgium’s 1-0 victory over Canada.
Yeah, but they also fell short. It would have been preferable for them to have won and not done it. We’re here to play football; I’m not here to make a political statement; better suited individuals should do it. Our primary interest is football.
The decision by FIFA to forbid teams from wearing the rainbow armband in honor of the LGBTQ+ community has not just angered Germany but other teams as well.
🎙️ Eden Hazard on Germany's protest:
"Yeah, but then they lost. They would've been better off not doing it and winning.
We're here to play football, I'm not here to send a political message, there are people better placed for that. We want to focus on football."#FIFAWorldCuppic.twitter.com/q2KS7x64Ui
Wizkid, the largest bird, has accomplished a great accomplishment in his career by becoming only the second African musician to do so this in history.
Wizkid, the world’s largest eagle, broke this record in the Netherlands, becoming only the second African artist in history to do so. Prior to his Made In Lagos event, which is slated for Thursday, November 24, 2022, in Amsterdam, Wizkid has successfully sold out the 17,000-seat Ziggo Dome.
Ziggo Dome posted an official statement about this accomplishment on social media on November 22, 2022. Since the release of his fifth studio album, “More Love Less Ego,” Big Wiz has also sold out the Madison Square Garden in New York, the United States, achieving yet another historic milestone.
The music industry is in uproar as Blaqbonez joins BNXN in criticizing three strategies used by artists to boost their streaming numbers without attracting genuine listeners. Here is the rapper’s tweet:
Blaqbonez, a rapper from Chocolate City, has added his voice to BNXN’s criticism of the ways that artists and record company executives artificially boost music streams without attracting actual listeners.
Blaqbonez tweeted about it and stated: “All of you who use streaming farms will soon be exposed soon. awon hushpuppi”. This was in response to BNXN’s tweet in which he stated unequivocally that record company executives pay for music to be played on automation or robots in order to inflate streaming figures.
These tweets come soon after Ruger’s tweet in which he posed a riddle addressing a specific artist who employs influencer marketing strategies to keep a stranglehold on the scene.
Following his most recent cryptic social media post about artists, BNXN has launched further attacks on Ruger, a fellow artist.
Award-winning performer and singer BNXN, often known as Buju, responded to Ruger in a message he published on his social media account today, November 23, 2022.
Ruger had cryptically posted on his social media platform that some musicians force people to listen to their songs by using ads and by paying influencers to make the song popular on those platforms. The singer had responded to Ruger’s post.
His post read:
“I am something. For years now, I have forced my songs down people’s throat whether e sweet abi e no sweet either by too much ads or by paying every influencer to make noise about a song they don’t even like. Or by speeding my song on TIKTOK. WHAT AM I ?”
This prompted BNXN to release a reply in which he called the singer out and revealed that he also used this strategy to market his album.
BNXN’s post read:
biting the fingers of the hand that fed your boss enough to feed you ?? Even when you and your boss use the same strategy?? After all those streaming-farm payments?
Additionally, according to BNXN, musicians who work hard to create top-notch music don’t always get paid fairly. A few of the streams, he added, don’t actually result in fans attending the musicians’ shows.
His post added:
Be organic or get the fuck out of my face!! How you got a million views and less than 5k on Spotify ? Are you whining me ? You’re top of the charts and you’re not choking me in the streets like Asake? just tiktoks? Are you silly ?
The South African phenomenal rapper said that he declined two requests for features from the Ghanaian heavyweight rapper over a protracted period of time.
Nasty C, a powerful South African rapper, singer, and performer, explained in a recent freestyle why he declined to honor Sarkodie’s feature twice.
The talented rapper, who is supposed to be releasing his new album “the spank daddy” in 2023, explained in a violent freestyle on Metro FM why he declined a request to be featured by one of the best African rappers of all time.
Nasty C claims that when he was an up-and-coming artist, Sarkodie refused to shake his hand. As a result, he harbored resentment. By using lame justifications like “he was on album mode,” the Zulu man with some influence made it clear that he had turned down the feature requests twice. Nasty continued by stating that he is still a huge fan of Sarkodie and that he would do his absolute best to fulfill any future requests from the legendary rapper.
The viral video, which accuses Nasty C of disrespecting Sarkodie, has generated a lot of buzz. The young man, however, made it plain on Instagram that he has no animosity toward Sarkodie and was only using the freestyle to vent. He stated:
No Malice over here u promise you.. I had some shit to get off my chest that’s all. That’s how & why I make albums
You’re one of the fortunate few if your Nigerian parents have never tried to arrange for you to meet someone. Although there aren’t many advantages to having your parents pick a partner for you, there could be a few. Below, I’ve listed nine.
The best outcome for you is what they want.
They love you too much to choose just any random person since you are their child. To select the best member of the herd, they will take their time. However, there are situations when what people think is best for you may end up being the worst.
They desire to boast.
They’ll pick the greatest person even if they don’t want the best for you so they can boast to their friends and family that their child is dating the owner of Mr. Biggs.
They conduct research.
Nigerian parents are able to track someone down to their home village. So you won’t have to worry about meeting someone who is already married and has two children if they choose someone for you.
They could direct you away from their errors.
They’ve been married for so long and have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. They can now help you avoid the traits in your relationship that they initially failed to see.
They are interconnected.
The networking kings and queens are Nigerian parents. Tell me how you learned that a friend’s child lives abroad, works as a pilot, or is connected to the English King. Better ask them for assistance because they might be aware that your future Canadian-passport holder partner lives nearby.
They’ll be aware of who will serve you breakfast.
What’s that proverb about kids not being able to see what an adult can see while seated? It applies here. Nigerian parents can notice things that we can’t because they have some form of 3D vision. They may be able to recognize a partner who will make you breakfast and who seeks a long-term commitment due to their advanced age.
Your cousin won’t be your date.
The likelihood of falling in love with your cousin would be nil if they choose someone for you because they are more familiar with the family tree than you are.
You can skip the talking stage
They will divulge all of your personal information to possible suitors, down down to the brand of soap you use. They’ll gather all of their data as well and inform you of everything. No need to speak on stage once more. simply wed!
They know how to shoot shots
Even while you might be too bashful to take the shot, your parents aren’t. They’ll be happy to speak with anyone on your behalf and do a good job of selling your product. They’ll make you sound so good that they could want to marry you right then and there.
Rio Ferdinand, a legend at Manchester United, responded to the club’s decision to sever Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract.
While performing his reporting duties at the ongoing FIFA World Cup being held in Qatar, Ferdinand was speaking in an interview with the BBC. The Englishman feels that both sides will benefit from the decision to end the contract.
I thinks both parties will be delighted. ‘He did interview with mindset he wanted to get out the club. He wasn’t happy and he made it very clear. Also happy for Erik ten Hag, he has got what he wanted in this situation. Both are happy.
Ronaldo accused Manchester United of betraying him because he thought some of the club’s top managers were attempting to get rid of him. He also said that Erik Ten Hag, the manager, did not treat him with due respect, using the match against Tottenham as an example.
Kanye West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, was Kim Kardashian’s only reason for dating Julia Fox, according to her recent revelations.
This follows Julia Fox’s admission that her romance with Kanye West had a detrimental effect on her career.
The supermodel and actress claimed in a recent video that her only goal in approaching him was to get him off Kim Kardashian’s back while she was seeing Pete Davidson.
She said:
“I had this thought, and I was like, ‘Oh my God. Maybe I can get him off of Kim’s caseLike, ‘Maybe I can distract him, like, just get him to like me. And I knew if anyone can do it, it’s me, because when I set my mind to something, I do it”
Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, also known as Phyna, who won the BBNaija level-up season, has revealed her extreme enthusiasm about leaving Nigeria for the first time.
Phyna was heard warning all of her fans in a recent live broadcast that she wouldn’t remain calm about her trip.
She boasted that she would invade Cameroon, South Africa, and then Qatar.
Justin Dean, Korra Obidi’s ex-husband, has told her there is nothing to celebrate after their divorce and has silenced her.
Several days ago, Korra posted on her social media page to celebrate her divorce, as you may recall.
Her ex-husband, Justin Dean, responds to her happy posts by criticizing her, saying divorce is a sign of failure.
He continued by saying that while he wouldn’t advise anyone to stay in an unhealthy relationship, divorce is not something to celebrate.
"Divorce is not something to celebrate. It is failure" Justin Dean says after Korra took to Facebook to celebrate after their divorce was finalised. Cc @Gidi_Trafficpic.twitter.com/zX1xCI6Ic8
Don’t talk about these things with your partner for the sake of your relationship and your mental health. Particularly number 4 and 5.
Clothes
Refrain from doing it. Your clothing is lost forever. Ever.
Address
They could feel the need to visit frequently. And when they text you to say they’re coming over for the fourth time in less than a week, you’ll break down in tears if you’re anything like me and enjoy my alone time and personal space. Just say that you reside somewhere out in the woods. (I don’t have the strength to concoct a plausible falsehood right now.)
Your music
If you make the mistake of sharing your favorite music with your significant other, you won’t be able to hear Asake’s Palazzo when they serve you breakfast. When the music starts playing at the club, you’ll start sobbing uncontrollably.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD)
What kind of person are you? Why do you intend to share your STD with your partner?
Passwords
Your significant other will now unlock your phone in order to find anything that will make their chest hurt while you are still in bed, jeje. By keeping your passwords to yourself, you may avoid this whole situation.
Ika Of Africa, the debut album from “Idamu Adugbo”, Portable, will be released soon, and the artist is showing no mercy as he discloses the tracklist.
The tracklist for street-hop artist Portable’s debut album Ika Of Africa has been made public. Portable, also known as “Idamu Adugbo” and “werey olorin,” describes himself as both of these.

In regards to Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at the team, Manchester United has issued a final declaration.
ronaldo
Nobody predicted the unexpected sequence of events that led to Manchester United issuing a formal declaration on the future of club legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo’s departure from Old Trafford was confirmed in the club’s last statement, which also noted that his contract had been mutually terminated.
The statement read:
Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect.
The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future.
Everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to deliver success on the pitch.
After his interview with Piers Morgan, concerns over the Portuguese player’s future at the club grew significantly, but it now appears that all issues have been resolved.
When it comes to his future move, Ronaldo, who will lead Portugal in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022, is considering all of his possibilities.
Lionel Messi, a striker for Paris Saint-Germain, has kicked off his fifth World Cup campaign in impressive fashion.
In their opening group encounter at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Messi gave Argentina the lead. The Little Magician, as he is affectionately known, became the first Argentinean player in history to score in four straight World Cups ( 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022)
There have been World Cup tournaments held in South Africa, Brazil, Russia, and now Qatar. The hopes of Argentina’s fans are that Messi will perform superbly throughout the competition. In addition, the PSG player will want to win his first World Cup.
For their Lagos fans, the award-winning duo put up a phenomenal performance.
Peter and Paul Okoye, better known as P-Square, are talented singers, dancers, and performers from Nigeria. We have all the highlights of their electrifying performance for their Lagos fans.
The Buckwyld ‘n’ Breathless-organized event, dubbed “P-Square 4Eva,” took place on November 20, 2022, at the Eko Convention Center.
The Lagos sow was a member of the moving train, which began its “Reunion World Tour” on August 5, 2022, and will see them play in nations like Equatorial Guinea, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, and other nations.
The brothers provided the fans with a fantastic performance that was filled with a nostalgia drug that had the audience screaming for more, as was to be expected. Veterans like Cobhams Asuquo, Bracket, 2baba (2-Face Idibia), and Don Jazzy also graced the stage to liven up the performance.
I constantly hear the phrase “I can’t believe I’m marrying my best friend” somewhere in wedding vows. It’s difficult for me to believe that everyone is best friends with their spouse. You folks may not understand what it means to be best friends with your significant other. So I made the decision to prove to you that it’s probably not true.
The two of you never have fun.
You don’t watch amusing trash together and giggle for hours, or act like children on sugar highs. You don’t engage in games or other enjoyable activities like face painting and such outings.
You are unsure of their preferences.
They are most definitely not your best buddy if they don’t know that you enjoy Papa Ajasco or Double Chickwizz. Best friends have extensive knowledge of one another.
You two don’t spend a lot of time together.
Even though you don’t live far apart, your friendship isn’t the best when you only see each other once every two weeks. They should always want to hang out with you because you two like each other’s company. Calls and texts are included in this. They would want to chat to you at any opportunity because they are your BFF.
They don’t refuel you
They are supposed to be your best friend and gas you up in all sorts and fashions in the comments area of each photo you put online. Under the picture, they’ll post at least five comments.
They don’t stand by you
Not merely career help is being discussed here. When I say support you, I don’t just mean when you’re being ridiculed by others or making jokes. The closest of friends stand by each other and defend each other.
You two don’t feel at ease with one another.
They’re not your closest buddy if you’re concerned about what your partner would say if you ate indomie from the pot while completely nude. They can show you their hairy bums and soup-stained clothing since they are best pals. It implies that individuals can act and speak without worrying about looking foolish. Have you ever puffed your chest out in front of your partner?
They do not dredge you up
Every five minutes, best buddies pull each other behind a little generator. Because they are aware of the limit, they don’t fear offending the other person. You can tell your partner they have a big head but still lack common sense, thus you’re not the best of friends if you can’t say that to them.
You are not permitted to steal their clothes.
They become really furious when you steal their clothing. That’s it? Just one friendship? It’s certainly not a romantic one. Just wickedness, that’s all.
They lack the skills necessary to cuddle without fornicating.
Any minor physical contact becomes sexual. I enjoy sexual attraction, but I also think that you should be able to be in the same room as your partner and yet engage in activities other than entering each other’s bodies. For the love of God, play some board games or something. Not all the time sex.
You two have different tastes.
Your preferred artist need not be their favorite. Best friends have at least a few activities or topics they enjoy discussing in common, even if you don’t share a favorite sports team. With his lover, my friend enjoys watching Yoruba movies; that is the definition of the best friendship.
Not a single meme is sent to you.
Instagram clips, tweets, or TikToks that are amusing My best friend is always the first person I send an idiotic thing to on my TL since we can both make an entire year’s worth of jokes out of it. If your lover responds to whatever you email them in a dull manner, forget it.
Cristiano Ronaldo, a forward for Manchester United and Portugal, recently attained 500 million Instagarm followers, shattering another record.
A magnificent shot of Ronaldo and Lionel Messi that recently went viral on the internet sent shockwaves across the football community, with some claiming it to be the greatest sports image ever.
The world’s most popular user on social media is Cristiano Ronaldo.
Following his appearance in a surprise interview with Piers Morgan last week, the Portugal sensation garnered attention for the wrong reasons the entire time. He made jokes about Wayne Rooney, the club’s legendary player, the owners of Manchester United, and manager Erik ten Hag.
After the explosive interview, Man United issued a statement saying they had started the process of responding to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. Ronaldo is expected to be fired from the team. He is anticipated to represent Portugal in his fifth World Cup match later this month.
On Sunday, November 20, Ronaldo reached the 500 million follower mark on the photo-sharing website Instagram. He now has the highest number of followers on the app globally. Messi, a longtime foe, continues to have the second-highest number of followers worldwide. The two famous football players are the only athletes in the top 10 Instagram users in terms of followers.
That is evidence of their wide-ranging influence thanks to the illustrious football careers they have developed over the past 15 years.
According to Goal, Ronaldo claimed that records don’t chase him; they chase them in the interview with Morgan.
Ronaldo and Messi previously broke the internet with a stunning photo, according to 626 blaze. The Louis Vuitton-sponsored message was published on Saturday night on the social media accounts of the footballers for Portugal and Argentina. On the platform, Ronaldo’s message received 10 million likes in the shortest amount of time.

“Happy birthday daddy! I wish you peace, joy & love ❤️,” she wrote.
Twitter isn’t all that unlike from many Nigerian markets. Everyone is welcome to enter, and after spending some time there, you won’t be as astonished by what your two koro koro eyes are seeing.
If you use Twitter correctly, you should see all of these people on your timeline (TL).
Alpha males
“As a guy, you ought never to be seen with an umbrella. Declare your authority by telling the rain, “If you touch me, I’ll smack you.” Become a man.
People who get upset at everything
It could be just them.
Those who must always hold divergent opinions
These people wait for everyone to establish an opinion before stating the exact opposite—while still using bbuzzwords, mind you—in an effort to appear educated. “Some of us are wise, every other person overwise,” as Ololade mi Asake once said.
Christians
On the TL, someone is constantly extolling the virtues of Christ or another favorite deity. Additionally, you’ll see someone post a testimony of a miracle God performed for them online.
Always eager to drag Christians are certain individuals.
These people are ready to pull anyone who mentions the name “Jesus” if they hear it used in this manner. So Jesus kept you from dying, I see. Why didn’t he save everyone else who perishes every day?
Relationship people
You’re browsing Twitter alone, trying to find something to distract you from the breakup text you just got. The next thing you know, you’re wondering if you’re actually a real human being or a potato after seeing a picture of individuals celebrating their 12-year anniversary with before and after pictures.
Football people
Possibly the most insane but also the funniest folks on the platform. You’ll be OK if you let them carry on with their banter. Anything you receive if you, a non-football person, try to criticize their club or favorite players, consider it as such.
Doctors
Since I receive all of my unsolicited medical advice from Twitter doctors, I haven’t visited the hospital in years. Regards, folks.
Comrade and vawulence people
It reminds me of insects. You can’t really see them right away (TL). However, as soon as you open the cabinets, you’ll notice them swarming all over the place in their vast numbers. To make sure everyone is comfortable while watching the “vawulence,” they even offer refreshments and seats.
Follow for follow people
No Twitter user should have fewer than 8,000 followers, ifb. Let’s begin a thread that is follow for follow. Those who liked this tweet should be followed. I’ll go back with everyone else. this significant 2022. SMH.
UI/UX Design Twitter
These people are always “experimenting” with Figma and “inadvertently” creating well-planned product designs.
Influencers
Twitter serves as their workplace. Do they actually use the things they’re promoting, or are they just getting paid to say that? Don’t worry, it’s never really challenging to tell.
According to the company, the number of Nigerians earning seven figures or more in naira annually through YouTube has climbed by 60% year over year.
When announcing the recipients of the 2023 Black Voice Fund, the company disclosed this. According to the article, there are currently over 650 Nigerian YouTube channels with more than 100,000 subscribers, and 35 of those have more than one million.
Nigeria’s dominance was further demonstrated by the data, which showed that South Africa and Kenya only had 300 and 400 channels, respectively. The percentage of YouTube channels in Nigeria earning seven figures or more per year (in Naira) has increased by more than 60% year over year.
“Over 650 channels in Nigeria now have more than 100,000 members, a growth of more than 50% annually. 35 channels in Nigeria already have more than one million subscribers, a 50% year-over-year growth. More than 75% of the time spent watching content created by Nigerian broadcasters is outside of Nigeria.
The company claims that whereas South African channels with six figures or more in revenue (ZAR) increased by over 40%, the number of Kenyan channels with seven figures or more in revenue increased by over 60%.
The company revealed their 2023 #YouTubeBlack Voices, which includes 15 Nigerians, 15 South Africans, and 10 Kenyan creators, to enhance its expansion efforts on the continent.
According to YouTube, these producers would receive seed financing between $20,000 and $50,000, committed partner support for six months, and the chance to take part in programs throughout the year.
“We are pleased about the creators, musical artists, and producers from Africa joining others from all around the world in the 2023 #YouTubeBlack Voices Fund,” stated Alex Okosi, Managing Director, YouTube EMEA, Emerging Markets.
The project aims to provide aspiring black innovators and artists with the tools they need to flourish on our platform. The development of the African creative scene is something that we are very interested in. We will continue beyond the first training to quantify our performance with the creators, artists, composers, and producers who will be a part of this third cohort, ensuring that they achieve sustainable success.
The forty artists from Sub-Saharan Africa will be among the 135 #YouTubeBlack Voices creators that were chosen internationally, according to the company. It further stated that over the next few years, the #YouTubeBlack Voices Fund would invest in over 500 creators and artists from across the world in order to support, expand, and fund the creation of their channels and content.
Congratulations! You have been hired. has a distinctive type of anxiety.
At that point, your village’s imposter syndrome starts to make an appearance, with queries like, “Can you perform? How much time will it take for them to realize you’re a fraud?
There are further issues with the new 9–5, particularly in Nigeria, that are more work-related. So what are a few of these problems?
Where do they sell food?
I don’t play with food, and neither should you, as you can see. Finding out where the sweetest yet most reasonably priced food is sold is crucial on the first day of a new job. Never let capitalism triumph.
How many toilets are there?
We require time, music, and adequate solitude to conduct our business since we have shy sphincters. Because there is only one restroom in the office, you don’t want to have a situation where people are pounding on the door. I even suggest include “how many toilets do you have in the company” as one of the interview questions.
Hope they don’t owe salary?
The suffering shall never return. especially if you have gone through something similar in the past. One of the many inquiries that niggles at the back of your mind is this one.
Okay, what time do we close?
There are some 9–5 jobs that are actually 24-hour jobs. You may be wondering whether this is one of those, but hopefully it isn’t.
Is there December bonus?
Please, aid. God bless you and thank you.
What’s the cost of transportation?
Are there any delays on my commute? How much of my pay goes toward that and do I need to take five buses, a boat, and two flying carpets to go to work?
Think of this as your yearbook if you were a member of the Class of 2022. These are the traits of the classmates you have. Let’s go!😂

Ruger has been criticized by well-known Nigerian comedian and singer Cater Efe for calling his music “noise.”
Ruger had tweeted a controversial apology to his fans for delaying the release of his song and letting them listen to “noise” on his official account.
Cater Efe, however, was not amused and interrupted Ruger’s Instagram live session to criticize the singer for undervaluing his efforts.
You mean I stopped making noise? You’re very brave to say that I made noise. Is it a result of your talent? How come you’re so proud? You’re very pleased with yourself. Is it because you have a good voice? Don’t attempt it once again, Cater yelled.
In response to the outburst, Ruger apologized profusely to the enraged comic and made a commitment not to use such language in the future.
Acclaimed Nigerian music video director TG Omori has outlined the characteristics he seeks in a sugar mummy.
Omori announced on the microblogging site that he is looking for a sugar baby between the ages of 27 and 43. She must work in the oil and gas industry and be a lady who fears God.

Whitemoney, the winner of Big Brother Naija season 6, said he doesn’t care about fans’ likes and comments.
Being a BBNaija alumni comes with a lot of pressure, and the winner frequently faces additional strain. People continually attempt to evaluate the performance of their company by the criteria of the general public.
In light of this, Whitemoney has admitted that he would consistently choose offline achievement above online success. He also said that the wisdom of God is what sustains him rather than likes and comments.
It’s wonderful to see the duo continue to set the bar high for other contemporary African artists.
Wizkid, a legendary heavyweight singer from Nigeria, has partnered Burna Boy in producing another epic moment in the annals of African music.
Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning singer and performer, sold out his “One Night in Space event” at Madison Square Garden in New York on Thursday, April 28, 2022, making it a historic accomplishment for African and Nigerian music.
After accomplishing that feat, Wizkid, an Afrobeats artist, joined him on top of the podium yesterday, November 16, 2022, to sell out the arena’s 20,789 seats, making them the only Nigerian and African artists to have done so.
The seasoned performer talked on marriage, saying that it has changed significantly from earlier generations.
Inetimi Timaya Odon, better known as Timaya, is a prominent Nigerian singer and songwriter who has shared his thoughts about marriage.
The seasoned performer, who is presently touring the media circuit in support of his most recent Afro-fusion tune “Sweet Us,” discussed marriage during one of the interviews.
Timaya claims that the younger generation, in contrast to the older generation, gets married for the wrong reasons, which he attributes to the large number of early marital breakdowns that are now commonplace in society.
Timaya said in the interview that he is not yet prepared to get married since marriage has a lot of obligations that one must be aware of before entering into one.

We have addressed concerns about Wizkid not receiving a Grammy Award nomination before the 2023 ceremony.
One of the biggest exports from Africa, Wizkid, was conspicuously absent from the Recording Academy’s complete list of candidates, which was announced on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, in advance of the legendary 65th edition of the renowned Grammy Awards.
The artist Big Wiz did not release any projects during the period of eligibility for the Grammy awards, which led to numerous doubts being raised on social media as people tried to comprehend why he had been omitted.
What Time Frame Are Grammy Awards Eligible?
The Recording Academy, which oversees the Grammy Awards, states that the term of eligibility for this prestigious award runs from Friday, October 1, 2021, through Friday, September 30, 2022. This means that only those works or endeavors that are released during this time frame are eligible for consideration for the 65th edition.
The song “More Love Less Ego” by Wizkid wasn’t published until November 11th, 2022, therefore even while it isn’t eligible for the Grammy Awards in 2023, it might still be nominated for the 66th edition in 2024.
A prophecy made before Nigeria even existed said that its ladies wouldn’t know how to flirt. Unfortunately, it did happen, and Nigerian women began acting absurdly, which they refer to as flirting. So that Nigerian women can answer for their crimes, we need to have a discussion.
Staring is not it
Even if you fixate on them for three business days, they won’t realize you like them. They would want nothing to do with you since, if anything, they think you’re a strange person. Consider starting a conversation. You won’t pass away. Avoid giving them the impression that you are trying to predict their future.
No, they can’t read your mind
You can’t assume that they will be aware of your admiration. Reading minds is not a skill that humans are born with. Rest if you are unable to expand your mouth while still seeming gorgeous.
Calling them “big head” isn’t enough
Calling someone names when you’re flirting with them is childish. You are an adult who can express your sentiments; you are not a child. However, you’ll be perplexed as to why they friend-zoned you. Babe, why won’t they treat you like a friend when you arrive with the spirit of one?
“Let your girlfriend not come and beat me o”
Aunty, start by asking if they have a girlfriend. If you’re wary about someone approaching you in a woman’s body, express an interest in them and wait to hear what they have to say.
Constantly saying “fine boy like you”
He is a fine boy if he is one. Stop attempting to smuggle praises in. “How can you say that to a fine boy like you?” Even students in secondary education are more straightforward than this. You can pay the compliment if you wish.
“Sir” doesn’t work either
Why do women call men “sir” when they are flirting with them? How severe is your father-issues? Why is this? You don’t even address the person who pays your salary as “sir.”
Liking multiple pictures
Pictures are enjoyed by all. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything that you like several images. Instead, try sending them a DM. That is the way things are.
Patience Adesuwa Ajao, a Nigerian living in Canada, describes her struggles to advance to the position of branch manager at one of Canada’s top banks.
Patience detailed the difficulties she encountered as a black woman from Nigeria living in a multicultural nation in a Facebook post.
She emphasized the necessity for immigrants to find for organizations that will recognize their potential while urging them to strive for the best.
Mrs. Patience Adesuwa Ajao wrote in a lengthy post:
“Upon relocating to Canada eight years ago, I was told to abandon all thoughts of building a career, and just, survive. A few months later, I accepted the Customer Service Representative role with one of Canada’s top five Banks,” she wrote.
Talks in my ears sounded like: you will not get promoted, you will be a teller for life, remember you are black, a woman and an immigrant from Nigeria, three strikes against you. Forging on, I moved through four roles: Financial Services Representative, Financial Advisor, Manager of Customer Experience, and Assistant Branch Manager.
In addition to having my 3rd child, pregnancy and maternity did not prevent my climb up the ladder. Needless to say, I have since distanced myself from those that never believed in me.
I am blessed to be a part of an organization that has provided a level playing field for everyone. In this month of November 2022, I accepted the promotion to the role of Branch Manager, thank you TD!!
Finally, Dear Immigrants: seek an organization that will accept your potential and believe in yourself that you can attain whatever height you aim for.”
Omoyele Sowore, a media personality and presidential contender for the African Action Congress (AAC), has refuted allegations that she is a spy for the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
On Sunday, November 13, Sowore and three other candidates spoke at a town hall gathering where the allegation was debunked.
The presidential candidate was questioned by a member of the audience at the town hall meeting hosted by Arise TV in association with the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) about if he was a CIA operative.
In response, Sowore claimed that if he was a CIA spy, President Muhammadu Buhari would have “disappeared” as a result of his detention by DSS agents in Lagos on August 3, 2019.
He added that despite having resided in the US for more than 20 years, he has not yet accepted citizenship.
Sowore declared;
“I am not a CIA agent, if I was, Buhari would have disappeared from the surface of the earth when he detained me. You cannot do that with CIA agent. I am a Nigerian, I have not even accepted a US citizenship and I have lived there for 20 years.”
In a shocking interview with Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo attacked Erik Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United. Liverpool star Jamie Carragher has backed Ten Hag.
The Portuguese superstar had declared that he ‘doesn’t respect’ the current United manager Ten Hag after expressing his discontent and frustration at returning to the team.
Carragher, who has harshly criticized Ronaldo since since the five-time Ballon d’Or winner returned to United in the summer of 2021, responded to the interview by asserting that “99%” of Man United supporters will prefer Ten Hag over the winger.
He tweeted;
“Ronaldo “I don’t respect the manager”
“Ronaldo under ETH: Announced he wanted to leave, refused to come on as a substitute, walked off the bench and left before the game had finished.
“9% of United fans will be on the side of ETH, which shows how badly Ronaldo has handled this.”

Cynthia Morgan, a dancehall musician, posted on her Instagram story several prophesies she said she received from God regarding Wizkid, Funke Akindele, Jandor, and Popcaan.
Cynthia Morgan advised Funke Akindele to pray against bankruptcy in the article with the heading “November Prophecies.”
She also advised Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, a.k.a. Jandor, a candidate for governor on the Peoples Democratic Party, to choose a side before the election or resign. She urged Wizkid to pray for his mental health.
Popcaan, a Jamaican singer, should pray to avoid unexpected death, according to Cynthia Morgan.
The dancehall singer claimed the message should reach the people she has been holding back since November 1 even if she doesn’t personally know any of the people at the core of her prophecy.
The choir of renowned UK-based preacher Pastor Tobi performed a special version of Davido’s Stand Strong, which has sparked rumors.
When Pastor Tobi’s choir played one of Davido’s top tunes, “Stand Strong,” the Sunday service at the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church in the UK was changed.
During the special event, the clergyman who is a family friend of the bereaved vocalist dedicated the choir performance to the family.
The well-known journalist Dele Momodu and the socialite Cubana Chief Priest were seen at the event.
Cubana Chief Priest posted the video to Instagram.
“Something must kill a man,” a wise man once said. That thing is bumbum for Wizkid. Wizkid’s latest album, More Love, Less Ego, is heavy on the seduction and follows up on his acclaimed 2020 album, Made in Lagos. Other musicians would be influenced by the demands of winning a Grammy and the Song of the Summer award, but Wizkid appears firmly set in his “no stress” ethos.
Wizkid doesn’t aim to surpass himself on his latest album, but is that truly a good thing?
These are the initial impressions we had after hearing each song on More Love, Less Ego for the first time.
Money & Love
From Sweet One on 2017’s Sounds From the Other Side to Reckless on 2020’s Made in Lagos, Wizkid has a history of producing strong album openers. Money & Love, the first track on the new album, is a strong start from Big Wiz. Wizkid establishes the framework for his next album by singing about his sex game and cash account while mentioning all the Bujus he is familiar with.
Money & Love isn’t particularly innovative, but that doesn’t make it a poor song. It’s basically Wizkid taking a cruise, as he does throughout the entire album.
Balance
Balance has been played four times, and each time I dozed off. But sadly, I never managed to come up with anything that stuck. Balance might someday join my list of favorite Wizkid songs, but for now, nothing will do.
Bad to Me
When Wizkid released Bad to Me back in September [2022], I didn’t like it like I didn’t like most of his lead singles (remember Smile with H.E.R?). The singles from Wizkid have a tendency to grow on you when you least expect it.
Bad to Me is a wonderful party opener that will get everyone pumped up in the club and taps into the amapiano sound that Nigerians have refused to abandon. It’s not the best Wizkid lead single, but it’s also not the worst (Daddy Yo will take that spot).
Sugar (featuring Ayra Starr)
Get ready to be stunned by 2 Sugar, my darling, if you thought Wizkid and Ayra Starr would attempt to recreate the magic of Wizkid and Tems on Essence. Even though Wizkid performs the verses on 2 Sugar, Ayra Starr is the star of the show.
In contrast to Essence’s summer love segment, 2 Sugar emphasizes setting boundaries and avoiding letting negative energy disrupt your inner peace. This song, which features Ayra and Wizkid, will essentially make you want to unwind, sink into the positive energy, and tell the negative energy to stay far away.
Everyday
I never imagined combining the names of Wizkid and Maya Angelou, yet here we are. The great poet opens Everyday with a heartfelt monologue about love before Wizkid enters to sing about challenges that everyone, famous or not, can identify with.
From the songs to the background “Yebo” chants, every day is sheer pleasure. Among the songs on the record, this one is arguably the most reflective.
Slip N Slide (featuring Skillibeng and Shenseea)
Wizkid is at his horniest in Slip N Slide. Wizkid goes all out with all the fornication vibes you can think of, dropping lines like, “24 days we dey fuck with no brakes,” with the help of Jamaican performers Skillibeng and Shenseea. Exactly 24 days? What kind of agbo are you drinking, Ayodeji? I merely need a friend.
Slip N Slide would be a wonderful addition to my sex soundtrack. But I don’t have one since I don’t fornicate like the rest of you do.
Deep
I admire sincerity, and on Deep, Wizkid is open and honest about wanting your body rather than your affection. If Slip N Slide was caught for adultery, Deep was caught for the enticing dancing and whining that would eventually result in the pant coming off.
Flower Pads
Wizkid uses the lyrics of Flower Pad to declare to the world that he enjoys a little bit of cunnilingus, just like Harry Styles did on Watermelon Sugar. Wizkid once again demonstrates his ability to make baby-making music by encouraging his partner to “wrap their legs around his neck,” and I’m fully here for it.
PS: The Spanish at the song’s conclusion somehow makes it 1000 times more sexy.
Wow (featuring Skepta and Naira Marley)
One of my favorite musical collaborations right now features Skepta and Wizkid. These two have given us back-to-back smashes since Energy and Made in Lagos’ Longtime, and Wow is no exception. However, despite Wiz and Skepta’s and their collaboration on the Wow, the song’s beat and flow have a Rexxie-produced Naira Marley jam-like quality to them.
Having said that, I feel confident boarding a song featuring Wizkid, Naira Marley, and Skepta. Choo! Choo! Choo!
Pressure
One of my favorite songs on the album is Pressure, a jovial bop. The music thumps. The sound he makes just following the chorus slaps, “beep beep beep.” His singing-talking performance in the second verse is shocking. Damn, this song slaps in every direction, and I just have to give it tenss overall.
Plenty Loving
Wizkid once again incorporates amapiano on Plenty Loving. Actually, I think I like this song better than Bad to Me. Perhaps it’s because Plenty Loving is still new or because it contains a hint of the distinctive Wizkid sax that made Made in Lagos such a smash hit.
Special (featuring Don Toliver)
How should I put this? Special sounds Mid AF for a song with Don Toliver and produced by Juls. Perhaps Special will grow on me, but for now I’m skipping it because it’s not providing what it should.
Frames (Who’s Gonna Know)
The album’s 40+ minute duration is perfectly wrapped up by Frames (Who’s Gonna Know), in which Wizkid forgoes seduction techniques and the initial gragra in favor of an open discussion with his girlfriend. But all of that is hidden behind Wiz’s desire for his lover to give him more of them, something he could never lose. Don’t get me wrong, shaking bumbum is still a priority here.
Portable Omolalomi, a well-known street rapper, is getting married to a second woman since he is expecting a kid with his lover, who is significantly pregnant.
This happens months after the singer and his first wife, Bewaji Zainab, got married during the naming ceremony for their son in June.
A source reported that Portable had been seeing the woman for almost 8 months before taking her to his parents’ house.
According to a source, it reportedly caused conflict with his first wife, Bewaji, who at first refused to welcome her into their home.
“The girl’s name is “Keji,” and they had been dating for roughly eight months. They first connected in Agege, Lagos, between January and February during a man’s party known as “Ogo Hookup.” In fact, he wants to wed her.
The woman is the fourth girl he has ever dated. Asabi, another female partner of his, is also expecting.
The source explained that Bewaji became upset because Portable was already well-known when she was with him.
Aralola Olumuyiwa, often known as Ara, is the most prominent female talking drummer in Nigeria. She has remembered how her life quickly spiraled downward after gaining notoriety.
The drummer claims that this occurred years after a family friend told him about a dream he had about her. In an interview with The Nation, she stated:
“In 1999, a photographer to a family friend who was very close to us came running to my place one afternoon. Then I was still in my parent’s house at Ajao estate, he lived in Mafoluku. I was sleeping. My mother told them to wake me and that photo wants to see me. That he is from Bayelsa. I went. He said, Lola, I dey dream o. I dream and I see you this afternoon. God bring your picture come do am like this for my face, say go and look for my daughter, tell her to serve me, to seek me everything she wants, I will give her. If she does not serve me, if she does not seek me, she will see paper and call it money on the floor. And it happened to me. I thought it was a joke.”
Ara admitted that when nothing continued to go her way, she began to battle God. She also talked about spending over a year in a single motel room.
But the drummer went on to say that after she cried out to God and asked him what he wanted her to do, things started to get better.
Ara furthered:
“All of a sudden everything stopped working. People that would call for shows all of a sudden, everything stopped. Shows that I get paid N3m is what people would be pricing for N100,000. To cut the long story short, I became homeless, I couldn’t afford to feed, couldn’t pay my child’s school fees, I sold all of my cars, sold my hummer jeep, Hilux, things started going bad. It got to a stage where I said this must be the hand of God. Something is wrong. I went for prayers and I was told that nobody is fighting me, that this is God. Listen to him. He wants to use you for something but you are not listening to him. I said okay but you know we are stubborn. I started fighting God, I suffered the more. For almost one year, I lived in one room in a hotel. This is in 2019. But you see the day I cried like the prodigal son, I said, God this is me, whatever you want to do with me, you made me, you moulded me, please, forgive me, I have come back to you. What do you want me to do?
“When things started happening to me, when I went through that process of from hero to zero, I remembered that dream. Meanwhile, I have dumped this project. I went back to God to say that the people that would help me is You. It is not how talented, connected or how popular I am now, it is You. If this is your hand God, bring the people. The day the governor called me, I nearly entered the gutter. I said this is God. Let me share something. The day I received the endorsement letter on December 22, I took that letter and I was going home to share with my younger brother. I got home, opened the envelope, there was no letter there. It disappeared.
“Till today, I don’t know where it disappeared to. I didn’t go anywhere. I called the ministry to ask if I left it, they said I didn’t because I folded it and kept it. We thoroughly searched for it. Meanwhile, I told the DG that it has taken almost 10 years to get the letter from Lagos state. He asked what happened, I told him it was spiritual that he cannot understand. When I didn’t find that letter I called him back and said sir, I can’t find that letter. He said that is the only original copy they did that they only have photocopies. I told him not to worry that I would work with it, that he should please give it to me. But before 11pm, he called me back. I had said to God if it is you, you would do something again. Before 11pm, they called me again to say they were able to get the honourable commissioner to sign another original. I got it back. Today the honourable commissioner is here. I did not meet him one on one until a few weeks ago in his office.’
Mike Bamiloye, a filmmaker and the founder of Mount Zion Ministries, recently shared a post directed at those who are constantly trying to offer marital advice.
In the Instagram post he published, Mike Bamiloye said people in broken marriages shouldn’t counsel single women on marriage.
The cleric ordered those in such category to avoid urging single ladies not to respect the marriage institution.
The social media post Mike Bamiloye published elicited conflicting responses; some people defended it, while others denounced it.

Stormzy not only realized it was Wizkid season, but he also sent the singer flowers in response to his More Love, Less Ego album. Read Stormzy’s comments in our story.
In response to Wizkid’s new record, “More Love Less Ego,” British rapper Stormzy complimented the chef and gave him his flowers.
Stormzy, who evidently enjoyed the project as much as many other music fans, shared a screenshot of the album while listening to it along with an ecstatic review directed at Wizkid. Stormzy remarked:
“My bro @wizkidayo you are too special my brother. Made In Lagos was the soundtrack for 2020/2021 and you’ve done it again. This guy is ridiculous.
The fifth studio album by Wizkid is titled “More Love Less Ego.” The record, which was released on November 11th, has since gained popularity in the music community and has topped charts around the world.
Wizkid continues to break records, and his smash track “Essence” has accomplished a first for African music.
With his collaboration with Tems, “Essence,” the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and performer Ayodeji Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, has reached a new professional milestone. It is the first African song to set an unheard-of record in the US.
After selling over 3 million copies in the US alone, the hit song “Essence” is now officially the first and only African music to ever receive a 3X platinum certification from the RIAA. Big Wiz has demonstrated that with good music, the globe will always tune in, as seen by the records “Made In Lagos” and the smash song “Essence” have continued to shatter.
The singer’s effort, “More Love Less Ego,” aims to meet and exceed the standards set by the Popsi himself on his fourth studio album, “More Love Less Ego.”
Daniel Regha, a contentious Twitter user, appears to have some concerns with Wizkid’s most recent album, “More Love; Less Ego.”
Less than 12 hours have passed since Wizkid’s new album, More Love, Less Ego, was made available, and social media is already awash in comments.
Daniel Regha, a well-known critic, however, calls the Grammy-winning singer’s output “overhyped” and does not appear to be impressed.
Daniel continued by saying that Ayodeji Balogun, best known by his stage name Wizkid, merely rehashed his songs with new beats. Wizkid’s pen game is “mid,” he added, and as a result, he is “not progressing” as an artist.
British artist Stefflon Don, who was Burna Boy’s ex-girlfriend, has criticized a guy who pose as men but are really just mama’s boys.
The two ex-lovers split up last year, and ever since then, they have been making subtle jabs at one another.
Burna Boy and his mother, Mrs. Bose Ogulu, who also serves as his manager, are very close and frequently spotted together at his performances and other public events.
Stefflon Don chose to mock men who pose as men but are really just their mothers’ boys in a video she posted on her TikTok account.
Wizkid Balogun, an internationally renowned Afrobeat singer, explains why he will continue to focus on his current musical style rather than switching to gospel in the future.
This was revealed by the Grammy Award-winning musician on Thursday night during an interview on a global radio station.
The singer responded to a few questions throughout the interview, including the one asking him to choose between Tems and Burna Boy as his favorite artist.
The 32-year-old said near the end of the interview that every album he releases will be “vibes on vibes.” He said, “You are going to lay it in the club if I record a Christian album today.”
Remember that the singer delayed the release of his album, “More Love; Less Ego,” which will now air today, in response to the passing of Davido’s son, Ifeanyi.

Julia Fox, a model who was once linked to Kanye West, is in the public eye right now spilling the beans about their relationship.
The 32-year-old model admitted that her romance with the rapper and business tycoon had a detrimental effect on her acting career.
They had just been dating for around 6 weeks when they first met last Christmas. Despite the short lifespan of their relationship, they left a mark online and offline.
“After the big relationship, I definitely noticed a shift in an acting way,” she said.
“I’m not getting as many offers as I was before, weirdly. There’s been a lot of weird drawbacks with reaching that level of notoriety.”
Controversial crossdresser Bobrisky Okuneye criticizes those who tend to cast doubt on her complete transition to a woman.
The self-described mother of Lagos, who recently showered Yul Edochie with affection, took to Instagram to affirm her gender.
Bobrisky lamented the negative stereotypes of his sex that are frequently associated with Nigerians in a post.
“Only in Nigeria people argue your gender with you. I say am a girl some are still doubting. Until i spread my kpekus on air before una believe,” she wrote.
Internet users begged the crossdresser not to show her genitalia in the comment area, while others challenged her.
“If you want to turn it to female, only God is wiser than you can be.” Na man you be till you grow old…,” one user said.
Wizkid, a singer from Nigeria, has admitted that his children have caused him to rewrite the lyrics in his songs.
Wizkid recently stated, “Now I am more careful with what I put in my songs since my kids listen to my music,” in an interview with the Guardian UK.
The numerous award-winning artist stated after the release of his new album, More Love Less Ego, “Along with regulating my ego, one other ambition for this new chapter is to live forever. I recently saw the musical “Get Up, Stand Up!” by Bob Marley. Hey, we’re watching a Bob Marley performance, and this guy passed away years ago.
The 32-year-old said, ”Bob Marley did so much at a young age I didn’t even know that he died at 36. It just reaffirms what I do, and I have to keep taking this to the highest heights. Because I know one day, they are definitely going to create a play about me.”
The Afrobeats megastar has other ideas he’d like to pursue besides music.
Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, is a multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, and performer from Nigeria. He has stated that he has interests outside of music.
The Grammy-nominated musician provided extensive insight into his work, family, future plans, and other relevant subjects during an interview with the American fashion and entertainment publication Flaunt.

I am not trying to frighten you; I am not telling you that I know something secret that you don’t know; I am not a prophet I am just a pastor; but I am your Pastor. We need to pray. So I expect to see all of you on Friday the 2nd of December; come ready to pray.’’

Released through Roc Nation Records/Def Jam Recordings/Hollywood Records is the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By soundtrack, which was created by Ryan Coogler, Ludwig Göransson, Archie Davis, and Dave Jordan. The American premiere of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which was produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore, takes place on November 11, 2022.
Lift Me Up, the lead single from Rihanna, made history by becoming the most added song in U.S. radio history. It also attracted the biggest single-day audience and the most spins ever.
Over 40 international artists recorded songs for The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By soundtrack in Lagos, Nigeria, Mexico City, London, and Los Angeles. Rihanna, Burna Boy, Rema, Tems, Fireboy DML, OG DAYV, Future, CKay, PinkPantheress, E-40, and many more are among the featured musicians.
The score and the original songs on the soundtrack were written and produced by Oscar, Grammy, and two Emmy winner Ludwig Göransson. He was particularly prepared to oversee all sections of the soundscape due to his significant experience working as a producer of musicians (Childish Gambino, Adele, Haim, Justin Timberlake), as well as scoring movies and TV shows (Black Panther, Creed, The Mandalorian).

They had been talking about it ever since they were students at the USC Film School.
Over 2500 hours were spent by Göransson in what turned out to be a major labor of love, involving six studios, three continents, and five different countries. The audience will hear more than 250 musicians, two orchestras, two choirs, and more than 40 vocalists throughout the entire movie.
Recording sessions were organized in Lagos, Nigeria, Mexico City, and Abbey Road Studios in London because the plot is influenced by Mesoamerican and Nigerian traditions. Producers collaborated with well-known musicians from Lagos, including Tems, who is now a center for musical creativity. The soundtrack also includes work from up-and-coming rappers and musicians from Mexico City, such as the Mayan-only rapper Pat Boy.
To investigate and examine Mayan music, Göransson collaborated closely with music archeologist Alejandro Rojas while in Mexico City. The soundscape’s composition included instruments from Mesoamerican and Nigerian civilizations.

“Spoke to the No. 1 OBO, 2nd time. He is getting stronger, he is rising, they are both getting stronger. Praise God.
“Going to rise from this stronger, more glorious and giving more hope and strength to more people 001,”the man of God wrote.
To commemorate her birthday, Queen Ola Badirat, one of Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III’s wives and the Alaafin of Oyo, purchased a new home.
The socialite, who had left the palace before her husband passed away, informed her followers and friends on her social media page.
Queen Ola wrote a brief but heartfelt letter to God, praising Him for His tremendous favors, as she simultaneously celebrated both the opening of the new house and her 33rd birthday.
Adeyemi Badirat Olaitan, the estranged wife of late monarch, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, popularly known as Queen Ola, acquires a new house to mark her birthday.
The singer, Davido’s nanny, and the cook who were taken in police custody might stay there until an autopsy report clears them.
It was revealed on November 2nd that Ifeanyi’s cook and nanny were directly responsible for her welfare but disregarded their responsibilities.
From the source:
The cook and nanny were the ones who had direct contact with the infant, thus they are at fault until an autopsy is performed. We have suspects who may or may not be released depending on the case as we conduct our investigation.
The family has not yet voiced any opposition to the autopsy, but the hospital will determine how quickly it is completed. However, the next step is to examine the home’s CCTV.
In a recent development, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police public relations officer, who confirmed the apprehension of the suspects, chose not to provide any additional information in order to prevent jeopardizing the ongoing investigation.
He said:
“If we need to detain them for longer than necessary, we will obtain a court order so as to ensure that we are not doing over detention or illegal detention.
I can’t give much details about an ongoing investigation, but those two people detained are assisting us in our investigation. Those that were released have little or no bearing to the case but the two people detained are assisting us.
“Eight people were brought in for questioning, six people were allowed to go, the remaining two were the ones that have been placed under arrest and that makes them suspect.”
Ifeanyichukwu, the son of Davido and Chioma, was tragically declared dead on Monday, October 31st, in the wee hours.
While his parents were engaged in other activities, the toddler drowned in his father’s pool on Banana Island.
Everyone was shocked by the young boy’s death because Davido’s staff was apparently busy that night.
Shortly after the tragic event, a flashback tweet from Davido to Wizkid following a good performance surfaced.
The well-known artist thanked Wizkid and also shared the happy news of the birth of his son Ifeanyi.
Wizkid’s message was acknowledged by Davido, who also said that God had blessed him on the same day as Wizkid. In the jubilant mood, Davido begged for Wizkid to receive more.
His words are:
“Congrats my brother @wizkidayo on your show. I dey wait my son since as God bless you today him come bless me too! More to come blood! I see your message, My guy!”
Prior to his 60th birthday on November 4, 2022, billionaire businessman Femi Otedola displays his penchant for luxury while sailing on a hired luxury yacht with his family.
According to reports, the oil tycoon and his family spent three weeks sailing the Mediterranean on the luxurious Christina O. yacht owned by Aristotle Onassis to commemorate his milestone 60th birthday.
Femi Otedola shared images on Instagram showing some of the ship’s crew members and members of his family, including his wife and three daughters—Temi, Dj Cuppy, and Tolani—as well as one of their fiancés, Mr. Eazi.
Wizkid has moved the release date of his album “More Love Less Ego,” so fans will have to wait a little longer, but as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. See the updated date below.
Despite not being announced, the album is currently set to release on November 14th, as indicated by the date on the version that can be pre-ordered on Apple Music.
It appears that the project’s release date was moved from its previous date of the 4th of November to the 14th in sympathy with fellow megastar and colleague, Davido, over the loss of his son, Ifeanyi. Wizkid is known for moving release dates, and he has already moved the release of this album twice in the past. This action is implied by the fact that on the day the news first broke, Wizkid and Burna Boy both erased tweets advertising their respective ventures. Wizkid has since since not posted about his new album with a message of many sorrowful emojis being the sole item on his Instastory so far.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Qatar in November of that year, will be remembered for not having the majority of the typical suspects accessible.
Most footballers always hope to play in at least one World Cup before giving up on their playing days. However, some of these athletes won’t be able to participate in the inaugural World Cup, which will be held over the winter, due to injuries, which are a common occurrence in sports.
The greatest number of players from England who had injuries while playing for their clubs will miss the competition, which has hurt them the most. Reece James of Chelsea, Kyle Walker of Manchester City, and Kalvin Philips are all ineligible for the World Cup.

Didier Drogba, a veteran of Chelsea, has commented on Victor Osimhen, a forward for Napoli, and his sense of teamwork.
The Super Eagles attacker was seen in a video deciding to award his teammate a penalty that he had earned on his own during the game against Ajax. Drogba praised Osimhen for his selflessness, saying that the Nigerian’s deed was also an example of teamwork.
Osimhen has been in outstanding form ever since moving from Lille to the Serie A team. He has scored a total of two goals this season, which is both the most in Serie A.
To support his colleague Davido, who sadly lost his son, Wizkid took down a tweet promoting his album.
It was planned for Wizkid to release his album. On November 4th, 2022, the theme will be “More Love; Less Ego.”
However, after hearing about Ifeany’s supposed passing, the tweet has since been removed.
The sad news of Davido’s first son Ifeanyi’s supposed death broke online last night. Ifeanyi was allegedly found “dead on arrival” at the hospital after drowning in their backyard pool.
You may also remember that Wizkid hinted about a potential collaboration with Davido for his upcoming album.
Black Sherif is on the rise after announcing a brand-new sponsorship agreement, making him the second African artist to do so after Burna Boy. Learn about the company for which Blacko is currently an ambassador in this tale.
Exciting young Ghanaian rapper Black Sherif just announced his first-ever brand partnership with international payment platform Chipper Cash, joining Burna Boy as the company’s second African ambassador.
Using a video campaign that showed him receiving a financial transfer from Burna Boy while playing basketball, Black Sherif announced the news on his Twitter account. “Happy to be part of the chipper family!!” were the words Black Sherif used when posting the video.
Lionel Messi, a forward for Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to depart the Ligue 1 team and join Inter Miami.
David Beckham, the club’s co-owner, revealed in an interview that he had begun negotiations with the Argentine. Messi is nearing the end of his PSG deal, which runs through June 2023.
On its official website, The Athletic acknowledged that negotiations between Messi’s camp and Inter Miami had begun in secret. Jorge and Jose Mas, the brothers who co-own Inter Miami, reportedly met with Messi’s father Jorge several times to discuss a prospective transfer.
PSG, though, is optimistic that Messi will sign a new contract after the current one expires.
The internet is heating up as Burna Boy uses his Instagram story to post a message that may or may not be directed at Wizkid about his financial standing and standards. Details in our story below, in full.
Wizkid’s early morning speech may or may not be in line with Burna Boy, a Nigerian megastar, who just released a fresh declaration outlining his standards and value for money.
Burna Boy, known for his online outbursts, shared a new memo with the world via his Instagram story, teasing that he was too wealthy for some conversations. This prompted speculation, which has since picked up steam. The artist declared: “If you didn’t earn $100M this year, I can’t talk money with you. Just take a seat and smoke a BRKFST.”
It’s interesting that Wizkid’s Sunday morning Snapchat rouser, “I can quit touching the mic today and y’all lil niggas still can’t touch the wealth! Even if you beg ur dad and mom for help #morelovelessego #everybody’s daddy,” comes right after this remark.
Additionally, immediately after Burna Boy made his comments, Wizkid posted a mysterious comment on his Instagram story that said, “Small yansh dey shake o,” along with multiple laughing emojis.
Burna Boy and Wizkid have collaborated on a number of songs, including Ginger and Ballon D’Or, and have openly expressed a positive friendship and working connection. These online subliminals appear to have cast doubt on the minds of their respective fanbases, though. We won’t stop following the story even though we can’t determine for sure if the two acts are at odds.

Afrobeats King Wizkid posted some words today on his official snapchat page and some screenshots. Currently with these words that he posted, it has driven the minds and attention of people on twitter to actually engage on his words.
He is currently trending on Nigeria twitter with the hashtag Sir Wizkid.

Do you think Burna posted this? I don’t think so fellas😂 it’s probably an edited photo!
Well with all of these. i don’t think Sir Wizkid is throwing shades on anyone. He probably schism to catch cruise today😌
Wizkid reclaims the top place on Apple Music in less than 24 hours.
Ayodeji Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, debuted the lead single from his upcoming album “More Love; Less Ego” this morning, October 29. It is titled “Money & Love.”
After spending nearly two weeks at the top of the charts, Young John’s “Xtra Cool” is knocked down by this achievement.
You may remember that Wizkid’s initial try at Amapiano, “Bad To Me,” held the top spot for a while before Asake, whose album, MMWTV, has dominated those charts for more than a month, reclaimed it.
However, the release date of Wizzy’s new album, “More Love; Less Ego,” is set for November 5, 2022.
Popular Nollywood performer Kunle Afolayan has disclosed that the international streaming service Netflix wants him to make an Anikulapo television series. In an interview with the Guardian UK today, the award-winning director stated as much, adding that he was confident “Anikulapo,” the picture he had been working on for six years, will be a box office success.
On September 30, 2022, “Anikulapo,” a Netflix original movie set in the ancient Oyo kingdom of the seventeenth century, had its premiere. A week later, with a total of 8.7 million streaming hours, it had surpassed all other non-English movies on the service.
In “Anikulapo,” Kunle Afolayan, who starred his daughter Eyiyemi Afolayan, 17, said that he originally intended to make it into a series, but Netflix persuaded him to first make it a feature film. If the film was successful, he could then turn it into a series.
“I’ve been working on Aníkúlápó for six years. Originally, I wanted to make a series, but I shopped it and kept telling people that this movie would be bigger than Game of Thrones,” Afolayan said.
“Eventually, Netflix told me to make a movie first since I believed in the project that much, and if it became a success, we’d develop a series.
“Right now, Netflix is the one urging me to start making the series. I knew we made a great film and that it’d start conversations, but I didn’t know it’d do as well as it has done,” he added.
Early this morning. A Toyota Corolla lost control and hit roughly three stores, severely injuring them all. Due to the catastrophe, many goods, including motorcycles, were damaged. The event site is depicted in the photographs below:
Rihanna has returned after keeping us waiting for six years and five months.
I’ve finally listened to her most recent single for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, and I adore it, despite my original assumption that Lift Me Up would be a Wakanda-themed push-up bra or contour kit.
Get ready to experience the following feelings as you listen to Lift Me Up, which our very own Tems co-wrote.
Doubt
We all like Rihanna, but we are also aware of Ms. Robyn Fenty’s propensity for lying. It makes natural to have doubts about whether she will actually sing on this tune given that she has been promising new songs since 2017. If you accidentally play Lift Me Up’s instrumental, the uncertainty could turn to heartache as you wait impatiently for the vocals to appear.
Apprehension and fear
As soon as the humming begins, dread and excitement follow. In the past six years. How does she sound right now? Still able to sing? Will the song fail miserably? Black Panther: Why? Will you have to defend your favorite online against others who refer to her as “The Mary Kay Lady”?
So many inquiries.
Shock
Rihanna’s song “Liffffft me up” has a good possibility of making you pass out. Although you were expecting the vocals, they nevertheless seem to appear out of nowhere.
Startled sobs
I understand, boo. I’ve also missed her.
You’ll start to lose your mind over how amazing the song is when Lift Me Up begins to swell with the strings and backup vocals. Tears will be shed for Rihanna’s comeback and improvement, the fact that the song truly slaps, and even more tears on the song’s reference to Chadwick Boseman.
Confusion
If it’s Rihanna singing or our sister Temilade, you begin to wonder while sobbing. It is impossible to listen to Lift Me Up without pausing to appreciate Tems’ songwriting and vocal contributions. Recall how we claimed that Tems and Rihanna were essentially the same artist? It’s confirmed by this song.
Happiness
Nature is healing and Rihanna has returned. Fuel shortage, farewell. Buhari the naughty guy, farewell. Hello, dropping Naira. To save us, our mother has returned.
The album features a well-balanced mix of domestic and foreign celebrities thanks to the Afrobeats superstar.

On Monday, November 14, 2022, the final rosters for the 32 nations that will compete in the World Cup must be submitted.
As Big Wiz announced what fans may anticipate from his album “More Love Less Ego,” we might well be getting a duet between Wizkid and Davido that we never anticipated coming.

Wizkid made a suggestion that “More Love, Less Ego” would feature a Wizkid and Davido collaboration.
Wizkid announced that we would be getting a collaboration that many had predicted would never happen on his album “More Love Less Ego.” The singer admitted that he would work with a musician who many people had said he would never cooperate with.
Many have concluded that this may be the Wizkid and Davido collaboration that we have all been waiting for.

While playing the third sugar sister in Kayode Kasum’s 2019 comedy-thriller Sugar Rush, Bimbo Ademoye successfully stood out and stole scenes from actresses like Adesua Etomi-Wellington and Bisola Aiyeola.
Bimbo Ademoye has emerged in 2020 as the movie’s breakout star and the subject of innumerable memes. She went from being an underappreciated YouTube and Iroko TV actor in movies like The Diary of a Crazy Nigerian Woman and One Long Day to a Netflix king in Kunle Afolayan’s Anklápó.
Back Up Wife with Seun Akindele from 2017 was my introduction to Bimbo Ademoye. Her performance brought to mind Funke Akindele’s breakout performance in the 2008 film Jenifa. Even while it was entertaining, I was also afraid of these roles—the razz rural girl who accidentally becomes the brunt of every joke—because we’d seen how they’d come to be a stereotype Funke Akindele still finds difficult to break years after Jenifa.
I’m not surprised Bimbo has been able to hold our attention given how frequently modern Nollywood relies on humorous elements, whether or not they are necessary. She was the funniest sister in Sugar Rush, the humorous companion in Nneka the Pretty Serpent, and we can’t forget Ayinla from the iconic Tunde Kelani.
Bimbo, on the other hand, slides through it with ease while other artists cling on these humorous bits like their life rely on it. Her quips are always on point, and she consumes the stage so completely that I worry about her back about half the time because it can’t be easy to carry a show from beginning to end.
Comedy frequently results in one-dimensional characters, but Bimbo seems to have modified the clichés she was given to create people that seem genuine. Yes, in movies like Selina and Breaded Life, her persona is portrayed as a comedy. Even though these characters are exaggerated and imaginary, you end up understanding their reasons and the possibility that they could be actual people rather than just laughing at them.
With his most recent Netflix project, Anklápó, Kunle Afolayan finally earned my respect after directing Citation, a movie that failed to make the post-sex for grades statement it was intended to, and Swallow, which was famous only for its wigs, production design, and Ijeoma Grace Agu’s transformative performance.
The Yoruba epic, which was released in September 2022, soon rose to the top of the list of Nollywood movies discussed that year. Anklápó also served as a further warning that, even in the 1900s, guys will humiliate you.
Bimbo doesn’t have to be amusing to captivate you with her act, as Anklápó demonstrated. Gone, a 2018 redemption drama directed by Daniel Ademinokan, was another movie that made reference to this aspect of her. It was at that point that I first had the impression, “Omo, this chick is going to go all the way.”
Additionally, the fact that Bimbo genuinely has a personality off-screen doesn’t hurt. She has amassed over two million followers on social media thanks to her sense of humor and ability to transform what could have been unfunny sponsored advertisements into amusing unique skits. You should really get into her Instagram persona, Iya Barakat, if you haven’t already.
It’s safe to say that Bimbo has made the transition from being underestimated to the it-girl of Nollywood with the announcement of Sugar Rush 2 and the upcoming releases of Gangs of Lagos on Amazon Prime. Since Bimbo has become everyone’s favorite, that’s okay even though I know we all adore it when our favorites are underappreciated. It implies that we have taste from the beginning.
I’m very eager to see more of Bimbo Ademoye, and yes, as this tweet stated, we’re still hoping for a Bimbo and Uzor Arukwe romantic comedy as Nollywood continues to push itself with films like Brotherhood and For Maria: Ebun Pataki.
What exactly makes a sad song sad? Is it slow-tempo music like Darey Art Alade’s Not The Girl or lyrics about heartbreak and pain like P-Omoge Square’s Mi? You are entirely correct if you said both.
Although it’s nothing new for men to make sad boy music, there’s something particularly depressing about 2022’s releases that’s also really danceable.
Burna Boy
Burna Boy
“E don cast,” This year, the Burna Boy song “Last last, na everybody go chop breakfast” has been played at sold-out concerts as well as weddings. Last Last is a song that has become everyone’s obsession and is similar to his 2018 hit, Ye. But in reality, we’ve turned two of Odogwu’s darkest eras into dance music performed while smoking shisha and red cups.
According to rumors, Last Last mentions two incidents: Burna Boy’s breakup with British rapper Stefflon Don (“Maybe another time, maybe another life, you’d be wife, and we’d do it right” and “Now, you crash your Ferrari for Lekki, Burna”) and a February 2022 accident. It could have been everywhere, only a minor thing remains. For this song, Burna Boy went into his vulnerable side, taking a break from his ego-driven successes, and it definitely paid off.
However, Love Damini, his latest album, contains more depressing music than Last Last. Burna worries if anything he accomplishes on It’s Plenty will ever be enough despite the deceptive dance beat. How Bad Could It Be? contains lyrics about his battles with mental health and getting out of a bad place. In addition, he fully embraces self-doubt on the album’s outro, Love Damini, where he discusses his anger management problems and his lack of communication with the people in his life.
Love Damini, Burna’s latest album, may be his most intimate work to date. It is also the song that gave rise to the sad boy movement in music this year.
Omah Lay
Omah Lay
Omah Lay’s music is one thing we haven’t forgotten about since the Covid-19-induced lockdown of 2020, unlike preparing banana bread and donning masks.
Omah Lay became well-known in the same year when singers like Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, and Burna Boy all released albums that would define their careers thanks to his Get Layd EP and singles, Bad Influence and Damn, which had a fresh trap and R&B-influenced sound. Although his EP showed a musician who was genuinely in touch with his emotions, it wasn’t until 2021’s Understand, which contained lyrics like, “I thought we in this together. Please accept my necklace charm. Give you my last card; you’re on your own. It got real when he said, “I show you my best friend, you friend am.
When Omah Lay’s debut album, Boy Alone (omo, even the title tells it all), was released, it was obvious he had entered a full emo period.
Omah Lay tries to convince himself that he was created for stardom in the album’s first tune, Recognize. The central theme of I’m a Mess is the use of alcohol as a means of escaping loneliness and imposter syndrome. Omah Lay has experienced heartache, loss, and redemption by the time Purple Song, the album’s closing track, begins to play.
More melancholy boy music is necessary.
I enjoyed these albums and respected the musicians’ choice to be as open-minded as possible because I thrive on melancholy music. It’s like reading entries from their journals when you listen to these tunes.
I’m hoping for more sad boy music as 2022 comes to a conclusion. I’m not a masochist, no. No matter how gloomy they may be, I simply adore being in my feelings.

Whatever you want to call it—spooky season due to Halloween, ember month if you’re Nigerian, or whatever—we’ve officially reached the season when everyone needs to be on guard against touching stories.
I chose to contact the oracle (Old Nollywood) for some advice on how to be safe and maintain your head on your neck given the unstable naira and the impending election season.
Don’t date or get married to poor men.
When he said, “Ma lo fe broke nigga,” Professor Olamide wasn’t playing. Battle for your life. In movies like Billionaire’s Club and the original Living in Bondage, half the wives were married to impoverished men who had “potential.” The challenges in Nigeria are sufficient. Do not let a little love or passion cause you to lose your life. On this day, stay away from broke males.
Don’t go with your dad after dark.
Who knows, maybe the young child from Living in Bondage: Breaking Free might still be alive today if she had refused to go for a nighttime drive with her father. Therefore, politely inform your dad that you are not wayward and that only wayward people go out at night the next time he asks you to accompany him somewhere after 7 o’clock. What is the worst that may occur? Small disapproval?
Avoid attending parties with big campus girls.
When the large females from the university accompanied Funke Akindele’s character Suliat for an all-night party, they nearly used her head as an asun for demonic spirits. I will suggest that you remain in your hostel and concentrate on your studies now that ASUU has ended its strike in time for the scary season. Go to a party with dead girls and dull males even if you want to.
Keep awake at night.
I’d suggest staying awake the entire night in order to protect your life so that you can give the phony special effects juju a dirty slap when it shows up in your room. Witches only kidnap people who are sleeping in the middle of the night. Gbera!
Make a commitment to prayer
Nothing can’t be fixed with a little casting and binding, as Nollywood has demonstrated. You must therefore anoint your head if you want to maintain it. Join a church that follows the Bible right away, or even better, just become a pastor. Amen?
Eat nothing outside.
If you didn’t make the food with your two hands, don’t consume it, just in case you have a coconut head and entirely disregarded everything your mother has taught you since infancy. Now that crime is rampant, nobody can be trusted. Don’t let ojukokoro be the reason for your failure.
Don’t ever leave your place!
Tell me how someone will think to use you for rituals if you sit at home and go about your business. Who people observe from the outside will be found in calabashes. Therefore, avoid “we outside” yourself into a babalawo’s shrine during this eerie season.
November is going to be quite busy for the DMW frontline act, and we are undoubtedly ready for it!

General John Enenche has sought to clarify his behavior in denying the #LekkiMassacre while serving as the Director of Defence Information in response to requests for his removal from the Labour Party presidential campaign council.
In a statement issued Friday night, Mr. Enenche, a retired major general, claimed that his actions as a former military spokesman were motivated by the “overriding interest of Nigerians at heart” as evidenced by the pledge of fealty he took while entering the military.
Widespread criticism from supporters who take offense with Mr. Enenche’s intervention in the wake of the Lekki Tollgate incident resulted from his inclusion on the list of a 1,234-member strong campaign council for the Peter Obi-Yusuf Datti presidential campaign for the 2023 elections.
Nigerian military opened fire on unarmed #EndSARS protesters on October 20, 2020, when they gathered at the Lekki Tollgate to call for an end to police brutality, which was primarily carried out by the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad. Many protesters reportedly died after being shot by government officials while kneeling on the ground, singing the national anthem, and displaying the Nigerian flag.
The federal and Lagos governments still deny that any people died as a result of the unnecessary military action. In the midst of the debate, Mr. Enenche also asserted that DJ Switch’s live broadcast of a protester who had been there at the site on that tragic night had been “photoshopped.”
When they learned that Mr. Enenche was being included in the current #EndSARS movement, many of the demonstrators who are now the main forces behind the Peter Obi presidential campaign grew incensed.
However, Mr. Enenche insists that each person who spoke out about the contentious #LekkiMassacre topic did so based on the information that was accessible to them.
Following my appointment to the Labour Party’s campaign council, there were responses on social media to my statement regarding a video taken on October 20, 2020, at the scene of the ENDARS incident at the Lekki toll gate, Mr. Enenche said.
According to their respective analyses and the material they had access to, “everyone who commented in any way was right. Based on the sacred oath of devotion I took while entering the military, I labored both personally and professionally with the best interests of Nigerians at heart. Through social media, I genuinely felt the pain of that breaking news, he continued.
Mr. Obi has already made hints that the party will address the concerns of its supporters and correct all “omissions and erroneous entries.”
However, Mr. Enenche claims that despite his long-standing friendships with Mr. Obi (17 years) and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed (5 years), his running companion, he did not waver in his support for them.
“I did not back down from my decision to publicly and impartially endorse the candidacies of HE Mr. Peter Obi and Dr. Yusuf Ahmed-Datti. All based on my acquaintance with the pair for roughly 17 years and 5 years, respectively, that they can offer the Nation excellent leadership that will ensure successful followership, he said.

Erik Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s outburst during the match against Newcastle United.
On Sunday, October 16, 2022, Ronaldo expressed his annoyance at being replaced during the second half of the match against the Magpies. Ten Hag thinks that Ronaldo’s response was understandable because no player enjoys being replaced during a game.
I think no player is happy when he [is taken] off, especially not Ronaldo, I understand that. As long as it is [done] in a quite normal way, [I have] no problem with that. He is, of course, convinced that he should stay on and he should score a goal. That is why he is that good. I know it [the hat-trick], but, and, of course, when you line up several facts you take count of, but also other facts you take count of.
Prior to leaving the Red Devils or retiring from football, the 37-year-old will be aiming to achieve more milestones. He recently scored his 700th club career goal.
In a festive mood, the legendary couple performed a stunning duet in France.

Wow!! Some folks are incredibly fortunate. When I used to see a lot of people in my neighborhood betting on football with N200, I used to tell them that it was impossible for them to win millions of Naira with such a small stake. However, what happened to this man has changed my perspective.
He bet N200 on 20 games and instantly earned a stunning 38 million Naira.
After it was established that he had won, he made the announcement, informed everyone in his street, and then proceeded immediately to the mosque to celebrate and pray to God.
He was followed to the mosque by non-Muslims, atheists, and Muslims who didn’t typically attend prayers in order for them to receive some of his prizes.
Congratulations to the young man. If used wisely and exclusively for good things, money of this kind can alter a person’s life for the better, permanently.

Following Francis Uzoho’s man-of-the-match performance against Omonia in the UEFA Europa League match at Old Trafford, Manchester United has responded.
Manchester United responded to the Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho’s outstanding performance on social media. Even though his team ultimately lost the game in the dying seconds, Uzoho had made a total of 12 incredible saves in the Red Devils’ match against Omonia in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League.
Francis Uzoho wasn’t supposed to participate in the match because the Nigerian isn’t the Cyprus team’s first-choice goalkeeper, but as luck would have it, Uzoho took his position when the first-choice goalie was unavailable due to injury.
He made two outstanding saves that gave Omonia a chance to win the match; as a result of his outstanding play, Manchester United shared the following statement on their official social media platform: Recognising a top performance from @UzohoF
In his post-game interview, Manchester United’s shot-stopper David De Gea also commented on Francis Uzoho’s performance.
Of course. I think he [Uzoho] had an amazing game, I think he made eight or 10 great saves for his team in the game but in the end we scored a goal and for sure he made a great game.
I know he played in La Liga in Spain. He had an amazing game and congratulations for him.
Following Reece James’ injury, there have been concerns inside the Chelsea Football Club.
On Tuesday, October 11, 2022, during the Blues’ UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan at San Siro, the right-back sustained an injury. The team has reported that James’ knee injury was more serious than initially thought.
The player will visit a specialist to determine the severity of the injury, according to Blues head coach Graham Potter.
He is scheduled to see a specialist over the weekend, so I can’t say much more until we learn that. From my standpoint, that would be conjecture. All I know is that we need to investigate the discomfort and see an expert. He stated he didn’t feel too awful when he spoke to me yesterday, but until it gets checked, you won’t know. There is no point in considering the worst-case situation; we will simply wait and see.
Graham Potter and the supporters of Chelaea will suffer a setback as they attempt to qualify for the Champions League because James is anticipated to be sidelined for at least six to eight weeks. The player’s absence will also hurt England, who are already without Kyle Walker and James and are attempting to win the World Cup for the first time since 1966.
Gareth Southgate, the England coach, will now have to decide between Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool and Kieran Trippier of Newcastle, who has been filling in at left-back for the Three Lions.

The same can be said for TG when it comes to video directing, and the latter was given special recognition for this at the 15th Headies Awards in 2022.
The breathtaking visuals for “Buga,” a song by Kizz Daniel and Tekno that was one of the biggest singles to come out of Nigeria in 2022, were also created by TG Omori.

Francis Uzoho had a save percentage of 11 and only gave up a goal against Manchester United in the 93rd minute. He has supported the team since he was a youngster, so getting to compete against Manchester United was a huge honor for him.

As a result, there has been discussion online regarding who Tems and Ayra Starr have the most sex appeal for. We decided to get your opinion on this because there have been a lot of reactions to it.
There are more aspects of sex appeal than we are aware of, which many people are unaware of. It indicates that there is something about you that makes people of the opposite sex want to be as close to you as possible if you have sex appeal. They want to connect with you because you are so alluring to them.
Beyond a person’s physical appearance and level of beauty, sex appeal exists.

Don’t forget that what’s good for A may not be good for B, but what’s good is excellent in general.
Okay, guys
Who Has The Best Sex Appeal Between Ayrá Starr And TÉms?
Popular Nigerian musician Teni Apata recently sparked a debate.
Teni received a variety of responses for not shaking or introducing himself to President Buhari while accepting a national honor.
447 people received the National Honors Award from President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.
The overall number of Nigeria’s national honors awardees since 1963 is 5,341 according to the National Honours Award Investiture 2022 Programme, which states that 450 individuals received awards.
Six of the 450 recipients were given the title of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), 55 were given the title of Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR), 74 were given the title of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR), and 77 were given the title of Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR). There are also 65 Commanders of the Order of the Niger, 55 Members of the Order of the Niger, 110 Officers of the Order of the Niger (OON), and four recipients of the First Class Federal Republic Medal (FRM I) and Second Class Federal Republic Medal (FRM II).
Teni was the only honoree who was observed without shaking the President’s hand or extending a greeting at the award presentation.
However, for guys, it’s just another typical day of hustle.
Unless you’re quite close to them, most men don’t even disclose their birthday to anyone. Most men don’t give a fig!
Never made a huge deal out of celebrating a birthday before.
There isn’t anything enjoyable to do, and we can’t get our nails or nails done. Nothing unique, just food and cake?
That is simply the norm these days. Food! Sometimes even birthday sex is over limits!
The reason is that there is no one to bill, and they will still send us a bill on our own birthday, in addition to the fact that it is a depressing reminder that you are aging and yet unfulfilled in some of your aspirations.
David Adeleke, better known as Dávido, the head of DMW, has responded to Portáble’s new face ink.
Since displaying the tattoo he had done on his face, musician Portable has received a lot of negative feedback.
Davido, one of the well-known Nigerian musicians to respond to the tattoo, advised “Werey musician” not to send anyone in response to the criticism.
Davido posted a picture of Portable’s tattooed face on his Instagram account. Portable claimed that he doesn’t give a damn what people think of his face tattoo. Even Davido praised him at the conclusion of the statement.
Davido strikes once more as the music icon requests a G Wagon for his beloved Chioma, also known as Chef Chi.
Davido spends millions on a brand-new G wagon for Chioma just days after announcing his engagement to the mother of his first baby.
“Adesuwa Renne,” Davido’s go-to vehicle salesperson, shares their conversation on her social media page.
Her words are: “@davido strikes again! This go over choke. Happiness is what we got on this side. Your celebrity car dealer is ready to deliver again.”
Adekunle Gold will always be appreciative to Olamide for giving him the chance to succeed as an artist.
He used the chance to express his gratitude to Olamide for supporting him at his sold-out performance at the O2 Academy Brixton. If Olamide hadn’t signed him, the world wouldn’t have known about him, claims AG Baby.
He also expressed his gratitude to Pheelz for introducing him to Olamide and other musicians. Adekunle Gold acknowledged that without Pheelz’s assistance, he wouldn’t have learned the Dos and Don’ts.
Tom Cruise, a 60-year-old Hollywood legend, will be the first actor to film a movie in space.
The veteran and director of The Bourne Identity, Doug Liman, are apparently developing a pitch for a film set in space. The Covid-19 epidemic delayed the project, which was initially scheduled for 2020.
Additionally, it was discovered that they had contacted Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) on a plan that would involve the actor boarding a rocket and traveling to the International Space Station.
Donna Langley, the UFEG Chairman, said: “I think Tom Cruise is taking us to space, he’s taking the world to space.
“That’s the plan. We have a great project in development with Tom … Taking a rocket up to the Space Station and shooting.”
The majority of the film would be filmed on Earth, with the hero “going up to space to rescue the day,” according to Langley, who expressed hope that Cruise would be “the first civilian to perform a space walk outside of the space station.”
Cruise would be the first movie celebrity to film on the International Space Station if the project is successful.
Although the move is unheard of, it’s fair to say that it’s not strange that Cruise is aiming for space, given that the Jerry Maguire star is known for his daring stunt work.
Kanye Omari West, better known by his stage name Ye, is an American rapper, record producer, and fashion designer. He has criticized American internet billionaire and CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, for removing him from Instagram.
Kanye criticized Mark for booting him from Instagram in a tweet that was accompanied by an old photo of the pair performing karaoke. Zuckerberg was once referred to as “his nigga” by Kanye.
He stated: “Look at this Mark. How you gone kick me off instagram. You used to be my nigga.”
Ye’s account was suspended over the weekend for breaking the terms of service of the social media site with an ostensibly “anti-semitic” post.
Following his contentious Paris Fashion Week show, when he displayed his White Lives Matter shirts, Ye also proclaimed war on the Jewish people, prompting Ye to be removed from Twitter shortly after the message.
The rapper purportedly appeared to show West saying that Combs was under the control of Jews in a text exchange between himself and Diddy that he published in a post that Twitter later removed. “Jesus is Jewish,”
I’m a little tired tonight, but when I wake up, I’m going to kill three Jews.
The American Jewish Committee (AJC), in a statement, instantly called out West’s language for promoting “anti-Semitic tropes like greed and domination.” His anti-Semitic remarks, however, sparked criticism from Jewish celebrities and lawmakers.
Kanye West needs to learn how to convey his message without utilizing antisemitism. The musician has incited anti-Semitism throughout the past week, according to the committee.
The English Premier League’s history will forever include Manchester United.
The Red Devils made history by being the first team to ever win 100 Premier League games in which they let up the first goal. Super Eagles player Alex Iwobi scored the game’s first goal, Antony equalized, and then Ronaldo scored the game-winning goal.
Tottenham is in second place with 96 games, Liverpool is third with 85 goals, Chelsea is fourth with 84 goals, and Arsenal is fifth with 79 goals.

Usain Bolt, a former world-beating sprinter, responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s career total of 700 goals for clubs.
When Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 700th club goal for Manchester United against Everton, the entire world of football froze. Usain Bolt is one of these celebrities that responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s historic moment on social media today, Sunday, October 9, 2022.
Bolt shared a post that hailed the achievement of the hero of many people. At Sporting Lisbon, Ronaldo scored a total of 5, at Juventus, he scored 101, at Manchester United, he scored 144, and at Real Madrid, he scored 450.
After scoring his 700th goal in his professional career, Cristiano Ronaldo is the name on everyone’s lips in the entire world.
Under Erik Ten Hag’s leadership, the Portuguese have struggled to make the Red Devils’ starting lineup. But after being introduced into the match due to Anthony Martial’s injury in the first half, Ronaldo eventually scored his most anticipated goal.
Ronaldo scored 450 of his 700 club goals during his time playing for Real Madrid, where he also won four UEFA Champions League championships.
He started his club career at Sporting Lisbon, where he scored 101 goals, and tallied 5 goals for that team. Over the course of his two stints at Manchester United, he has 144 goals for the Old Trafford club.

Gabriel Martinelli, a midfielder for Arsenal, made history in the Premier League.
At the Emirates Stadium, the Brazilian scored the game’s first goal against Liverpool after 58 seconds. In the history of the match between the Gunners and the Reds, the goal was scored the second-fastest.
In the 5-1 thrashing of the Gunners at Anfield in February 2014, Martin Skrtel of Liverpool scored the game’s quickest goal after 52 seconds of play. Since Robin Van Persie’s goal against Sunderland, which came after just 29 seconds, this is also Arsenal’s quickest Premier League goal.

The project was leaked, which throws a curveball into Ayra Starr’s plans to release the deluxe edition of her debut album. The singer responded to this news as one might anticipate. Read our story for more information.
Ayra Starr, a Mavin Records diva and the Gen Z Afrobeats ambassador, has reacted to the disclosure that the deluxe edition of her debut album, 19 & Dangerous, will be released sooner than expected.
Twelve days before the scheduled release date, supporters had alerted Twitter users to the situation, and Ayra Starr quickly joined the ensuing confusion. Ayra Starr expressed her outrage in a now-deleted tweet by writing, “My album got leaked.”
The six additional recordings on the deluxe album, including the four unreleased tracks Tracks 3, 5, 9, and 14, are now only available as an unnamed record. However, they do so in bold typefaces, which is uncommon for unreleased tracks. This is not the first time that something similar has happened; Asake’s Terminator single was also leaked before the official release date was declared.
The record-breaking performance by Erling Haaland for Manchester City in the Premier League does not appear to be coming to an end any time soon.
A single goal from the Norwegian brought his league total to 15 goals despite only scoring once versus Southampton. With this goal, he has now equaled the league-high total of goals scored by Kevin De Bruyne in the previous campaign.
Haaland has scored 15 league goals in just nine games this season, compared to De Bruyne’s season-long total of 15 Premier League goals for Manchester City last year.
Kevin De Bruyne was @ManCity's top scorer in the #PL last season with 15 goals…

Burna Boy, the African behemoth, was photographed with multiple Grammy award-winning diva Beyonce at a star-studded event in Paris.
Burna Boy and Beyonce were sighted together at an event hosted by the multiple Grammy Award-winning artist in Paris, so it appears that we may soon be hearing from them again.
On Saturday, October 8, 2022, Burna, who was featured on Beyonce’s Lion King soundtrack album, attended the star-studded Beyoncé x Tiffany & Co. party in Paris. Given that Burna has already teamed up with well-known musicians, many are predicting that we may soon hear a collaboration deserving of both singers winning another Grammy.
In the public images, the two actors were engaged in a lengthy chat.
Since then, I’ve been dating and in love with a variety of women, and I also consider myself a big-girl kind of guy.
Unfortunately, despite my love for African culture and traditions, my profession as a writer always takes first in my life. And I’ve always had a strong sense that I can at least improve Nigeria’s economy somewhat.
The three things you must be aware of in order to comprehend relationships are what 626blaze wishes to short discuss with you.
You don’t need me to tell you how to fall in love with a man or a woman; we all have our own unique strategies for luring in attractive women and, as true guys, we always want to back it up with sex.
Mutual sentiments
However, having mutual feelings allows you to know that your energy levels for sticking with each other are roughly similar and that you both love and are loved in an equal measure. If a relationship is to flourish and develop, four key components of mutuality must be present: love, benefit, trust, and support.
Respect
The thread that binds your connections together is respect. Respect entails accepting someone for who they are, despite the fact that they are unlike you or that you don’t agree with them.
Respect enhances feelings of safety, security, and wellbeing in your interactions. While expressing respect for someone is simple, acting with consideration can be more challenging.
Respect is something you can learn; it doesn’t have to come naturally.
Respect Your Individuality.
Never belittle your partner’s opinions or pursuits. Even if you don’t agree with someone, you can respect their viewpoint. Relationships are fantastic because of their contrasts, in part! Even if you don’t finally change your mind, your partner can help you see the world from a different angle. Even if you would never step foot in a baseball stadium or art gallery otherwise, you may show your spouse that you value them by attending their baseball game or art exhibit.
Even if your partner has different boundaries than you, respect them. Don’t pressurize your partner if they don’t want to have sex, kiss in public, or lie to their parents. This is possibly harsh and coercive.
Even if they differ from yours, respect your partner’s boundaries. Don’t push your partner if they don’t want to kiss in public, have sex, or lie to their parents. This is oppressive and could even be abusive.
What Else Do You Think Could Help Your Relationship Or Marriage Status, Please?
Last night, I got into a heated argument with a Man United supporter.
He was furious with Ronaldo’s attitude since the Portuguese squandered numerous opportunities to score his 700th goal for a single club in United’s 3–2 victory over Omonia.
In fact, some soccer fans believe Lionel Messi, who has 691 goals for his club career to date, will reach the 700-goal milestone before the Manchester United player.
Ronaldo needs to retire before he continues to humiliate himself on the field, according to a friend of mine who has been a United supporter for the past ten years. Ronaldo is 37 and Footballing Old Age is badly harming his ability to perform in top-flight football, thus he needs to do so.
I disagreed with him. The true issue impacting the six-time Ballon d’Or winner, in my opinion, is Man United’s generally poor/inconsistent play, even though old age may be a role.
A club’s players will inevitably get better if standards are strong.
The current standards of Pep Guardiola’s team will elevate any football player on the planet, and for a warrior like Ronaldo, the inevitable will undoubtedly occur if he played for a side like Man City, for instance.
Okay, guys
IS Ronaldo’s Advanced Age Affecting Man United’s Poor Form?
The powerful music executive discussed how the social media era has pushed people apart.
Heavyweight Nigerian producer and music businessman Michael Collins Ajereh, better known by his stage name Don Jazzy, shared an important lesson he discovered while preparing for his mother’s funeral.
Don Jazzy and His Mum
The Mavin Records boss has been doing well as people continue to pray for him and his family during this trying time. He announced his mother’s passing in the very early hours of Saturday, July 23, 2022.
On Friday, October 7th, 2022, the award-winning producer shared a reflection on his Instagram page about how social media has strained many ties, a lesson he learnt when it came time to compile a list of family members who were meant to attend his mother’s funeral. He stated: Learnt a valuable lesson recently about how as much we think we see each other all the time on social media, we are actually so distant from each other. We are so out of touch with how our loved ones are really doing. We don’t call enough anymore to check up on ourselves. GOD forbid the only time we get to do that is when something bad happens. We can do better. So we made a beautiful song that could help you get in touch. This is a just a start.
Coincidentally, Johhny Drille, a signee of Don Jazzy, is ready to release a song that the Maestro created. The song, “How Are You My Friend,” focuses on making a conscious effort to check in on loved ones, which aligns with the important lesson Don Jazzy learned after his mother passed away. It is slated for release on Wednesday, October 12th, 2022. May she rest in peace with her soul.
Watch Don Jazzy discuss the lesson in the video below, and hear a sample of the tune.
First of all, I want you to be aware that Nigeria is home to a large number of outstanding up-and-coming musicians that produce music in a variety of genres.
Pop, R&B, Raggae, Blues, Afrobeats, Rap, etc. are a few of these genres.

Everyone has that one musician whose rhymes and flows can blow your mind, and you genuinely want they could be in the forefront of the Nigerian music scene.

Given the number of people who would be curious to know Elon Musk’s favorite musician after viewing the interview, this is a significant endorsement for Blacko.
Mr. Musk stated that he even performed a song by Black Sheriff the day before the interview and that he was looking forward to meeting him soon.
Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, is a multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, and performer from Nigeria who is currently the topic of conversation as fans celebrate the annual Wizkid Day in the state of Minnesota.
Wizkid was the first African performer to sell out the Skyway Theatre in Minneapolis on October 6th, 2018.

Hushpuppi stated that he only gained $300,000 from the crimes, and that he would refund $1.7 million in reparation to those who fell for his deceptive tactics.
Ramon Abass, alias Hushpuppi, a well-known Instagram big boy from Nigeria who has committed fraud, has claimed to have reformed and is appealing for mercy before being sentenced.
Hushpuppi begged trial judge Otis Wright of the US Central District of California to tamper with justice with mercy in a handwritten letter before his sentence in November.
He sent the judge a tearful letter on September 9 when he was being held in McFarland, California’s Central Valley Annex Prison.
The three-page letter was one of the legal filings his attorneys have made so far, pleading with the judge to reduce his sentence from the range determined under the statute.
Hushpuppi stated that he only gained $300,000 from the crimes, and that he would refund $1.7 million in reparation to those who fell for his deceptive tactics.
“Your Honour, I totally recognise the seriousness of my offence and no amount of sorry can right my wrong in the hearts of the victims and this is why I have decided to use my personal money to offset all of the entire $1,700,000 restitution even though I only benefited a fraction of $300,000 plus but it makes me feel better that all the victims get every of their penny back,” he wrote.
He added: “I personally consider it as part punishment for myself and it’s the right thing to do. Your Honour, I really am a changed person in the way I think, see life and make decisions.
“My priorities in life has (sic) changed, my focus in life has shifted, I have realised how precious life and freedom is and how important it is to be on the right side of the law.
“Your Honour, I will like to plead with you to see my act of forfeiting my properties that I worked hard for, for many years, for full restitution repayment as part punishment as well.”

Mohbad, a musician, and his assistant Oreoluwa Oladapo have been admitted to the hospital following an alleged attack by Naira Marley, the head of his record label.
On Wednesday, October 5, Oreoluwa uploaded footage to Twitter showing his damaged body and Mohbad.
He wrote: “If I die, the whole of marlians music individuals(naira Marley and his boiz)should be held responsible.

Blessing Joke Silva’s veteran daughter-in-law, Douglas, has spoken out about her involvement with Tinubu’s Support.
Joke Silva and Foluke Daramola gained Twitter attention after they participated in the women’s protest in support of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate.
The demonstration, which started on Monday, October 3rd at Onikan Stadium and covered Lagos Island, attracted celebrities, businesswomen, and professionals from a range of disciplines. They were sporting t-shirts with the APC’s logos and phrases written on them.
However, there was substantial debate over Joke Silva’s support of Bola Tinubu. Others questioned her moral rationale and questioned where she had left her hurt husband, Olu Jacobs, while some internet users expressed their joy that she spoke out in support of her candidates while showing their entire breasts.
Blessing responded by discussing how she was bullied as a result of the seasoned actress’ engagement in Tinubu’s campaign in her Instagram story.
The veteran was also mocked by the single mother who said that obedience was preferable to a bag of rice.
“Just like that, a stray bullet touched a person. Obeying is preferable to a sack of rice.
You inform the individual if there is someone you ostensibly care about and you feel like something is off about them, correct?
To begin with, let’s try to perform a self-checkup occasionally to ascertain what is wrong with our body system and to maintain constant health.
Not good mouth odor Typically, if your girlfriend has bad breath, it will be difficult to kiss her if you’re her boyfriend.
Please refrain from passing judgment on someone who has bad breath because they could not even be aware of it.
Let’s keep this brief. Assume that you, as the boyfriend, recently learned that your girlfriend has a bad breath odor. You must inform her because she might not be aware.
If you want to inform a woman she has mouth odor, how you say it will matter since sometimes women can be petty and upset about tiny things.
Harrysong, also known as Harrison Tare Okiri, has declared publicly that 90% of friendships in the entertainment world are made up.
In an interview with Frankly Speaking Podcast, the singer of “It’s Not A Lie” expressed this depressing viewpoint in support of the assertion that friendships in the entertainment industry are made up.
He stated: “90 per cent all the friendships, my guy, my gee, all are fake. They are people that I’ve been working with for years. If you call their names, you’ll say they are Harry guys. But they are not my guys, they are my real enemies.”
Harry lamented the “false friendship” that permeates the business, claiming that one of his pals actually works against him and sought to ruin him.
Guys, it’s a nice day to suggest that God will punish poverty because it’s a thoughtful Wednesday.
Almost everyone is out there engaging in some activity in an effort to obtain the mula.
Both online and offline, there are more opportunities than ever before to earn extra money.
That’s excellent, but the trick is knowing where to put your time-investment dollars.
Although it is said that life does not always go as expected, we always strive for a better existence because money makes all of these things possible.
Let me know what you think about this BLAZERS.
What Justification Do You Have for Not Making Money?
The Nigerian Academy Awards selection committee has removed Kunle Afolayan’s most recent film, “Anikulapo,” from consideration for the Academy Awards, often known as the Oscars.
The Nigerian actor and producer also voiced his disappointment while sharing the news on social media.
As per Kunle Afolayan: “I am so pleased and delighted that the whole world has decided to tag ANIKULAPO film “a masterpiece “even though the Nigeria Oscar selection committee think it’s not worth submitting for the Oscars. Will keep doing my own thing”.
I am so pleased and delighted that the whole world have decided to tagged ANIKULAPO film “a masterpiece “ even though the Nigeria Oscar selection committee think it's not worth submitting for the Oscars 🤷🏽♂️
Despite the wonderful reviews Anikulapo has gotten all around the world since its premiere, the Academy Awards do not think it merits being nominated.
The Nigerian Oscar selection committee said last month that it has received three Yoruba-language entries: Anklápó, Elesin Oba, The King’s Horseman, and King of Thieves.
All three films were deemed “ineligible” by the majority of the selection committee members, who decided that they would not be entered into the competition.
The film was produced and shot by Jonathan Kovel at the recently opened KAP resort in a village in Oyo State. Afolayan had partnered with Netflix.
The Oscars are given to films that exhibit artistic and technical excellence in the American and international film industries.
The honor is recognized as the most prestigious and noteworthy accomplishment in the global entertainment sector.
Since then, the news has angered a lot of Nigerians and even followers worldwide.
Asake, a YBNL/EMPIRE recording artist, is presently one of the top men making the most with his songs.
The protégé of Olamide has proven to be the finest at the moment, selling out his concert tickets in under two minutes and releasing a smash-hit album.
I’ll offer a memorable passage from one of his songs from the “Mr Money With the Vibe” album in this article, and you guys will have to identify it.
See the lyrics below;
“Magic, magic, can you imagine? Gbewon sare bi Sonic (Tune in to the king of sounds and blues)”
Now that you’ve seen the lyrics. It’s debatable whether or not the album has replay value, and if you’re a dedicated fan, you’ve probably listened to these tracks numerous times.
You folks should take a break before coming after me; it’s only for fun.
As of right now, I estimate that the cost of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is somewhere about 1.8 million Naira.
If a girl were to sell her kidney to acquire any guy an iPhone 14, that would indicate that she is willing to spend the rest of her life with him without restriction, but what would happen if he grew weary of the relationship?
Guys, let’s keep this post as short as we can because I don’t want to say too much.
Imagine a female with whom you are in a relationship and who has already given you a parcel containing an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a letter that reads:

Discuss this! Each of us has own plans for the future. But marriage is the one that has many people thinking.
Even though most people are reluctant to accept it, there is one Noun other than money that frequently causes depression in individuals.
There is a man for every woman and a woman for every man, they supposedly said, but no Quote.
Imagine “Your girlfriend” Dey Canada doesn’t know you exist here in Nigeria, thus you won’t be able to get married.
Have you ever considered what you would do if no one wanted to marry you?
Life is not as difficult as we may think.
Personally, I believe that some young women would prefer to have my children even if they are unwilling to marry me in order to make money and begin being Sugar Daddies.
Tell us??
What Would Be Your “Plan B” Should No One Marry You?
Naira Marley is the stage name of Nigerian musician Azeez Adeshina Fashola. He is well-known for being the leader of his contentious “Marlians” fandom.
In the cctv video below that was gotten from shuddy Snapchat post some minutes ago. You will see the way c black was harassed and if not bitten 😂.
Due to its invasion of Ukraine, Russia has been expelled from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) at the current United Nations General Assembly for aviation, which started last week in Montreal, Canada.
Russia was removed from the United Nations Organization for Aviation’s top division after a democratic vote among member nations, marking the organization’s first expulsion of a nation from that position.
Russia refused to accept the election results after more than 170 nations cast ballots, calling for a new vote. However, the vast majority of nations declared the election to be free, fair, and conclusive.
This change is viewed as a major turning point for the ICAO, where the status quo has been “constant” for the past 70 years.
More than 190 nations are currently members of ICAO, a specialized organization of the United Nations established to establish global safety, environmental, and operational standards for commercial aviation.
Additionally, Russia won’t be allowed to fly to any European destinations, according to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is in charge of assuring safety and environmental protection in air travel throughout Europe.
Russia won’t take part in international aviation events, and their aircraft won’t be recognized safe enough to fly in the airspace of any ICAO member state.
After the humiliating 6-3 Premier League loss to Manchester City on Sunday, Manchester United icon Roy Keane criticized midfielders Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen.
The two had clumsy passes, according to Keane, and their poor performances contributed to the big loss at the Etihad.
The 22-year-old teammates Phil Foden and Erling Haaland each scored three goals to hand their local rivals their second-heaviest loss under Erik ten Hag.
Although Anthony’s lone goal and Anthony Martial’s brace restored some of United’s lost pride, they were unable to prevent Pep Guardiola’s team from winning all three games.
Eriksen and McTominay appeared to be absent from the field as Bernado Silva and Kevin De Bruyne controlled the midfield, maintained possession, and generated opportunities.
On Sky Sports, Keane stated: “…it’s been easy for them [Man City],”
“As poor as Man United have been, their passing has been sloppy, there are gaps everywhere, McTominay and Eriksen have been pulled everywhere. I can’t believe how bad Manchester United have been.
“It could get a lot worse, You’re Man United, you can’t get too embarrassed.”
The most popular Nigerian musicians and songs on Apple Music since the service’s start more than seven years ago have been made available to celebrate Nigerian Independence Day.
In honor of the upcoming Independence Day, Apple Music released a list of the greatest Nigerian songs ever, and it includes some of our favorites.
Under the banner of its “Oshe Naija” promotion, Apple Music recognized some of the most well-known songs and performers in Nigeria by publishing a list of the top Nigerian songs, albums, and artists of all time.
Burna Boy took the top spot in the Top Nigerian Artists category, followed by Wizkid, Davido, and Fireboy DML and Tems, who came in at positions four and five for new-age artists, respectively.
See the list below:
The top song in the Top Songs of All Time category was Ckay’s Love Nwantiti, followed by Wizkid’s Tems-featuring Essence, Fireboy’s Peru, Ye, and Burna Boy’s Last Last, which came in fourth and fifth, respectively.
Wizkid’s Made In Lagos topped the list of all-time greatest Nigerian albums, followed by Burna Boy’s African Giant, Love Damini in third, Twice As Tall in fourth, and Tems’ For Broken Ears in fifth.
Ckay’s “Love Nwantiti” was the most shazammed Nigerian song of all time, followed by Rema’s “Calm Down” and Fireboy DML and Ed Sheeran’s “Peru.”
Thanks to the majority of the artists in these categories that Apple Music has featured, the Nigerian music business is today among the most well-known in the entire world.
Some people might disagree with Apple Music on this, particularly in the instance of the Top Nigerian Artiste, but keep in mind that all of these calculations were made using numbers.
As Carter Efe and Berri Tiga make up after their drawn-out Machala incident, it’s kiss and makeup time. Watch the tale below to see how they got along.
Carter Efe, a comedian and recording artist, and Berri Tiga have made up after their protracted and intensely passionate argument over the Machala track.
The two acts, who were at peace, announced this new development on social media by posting a video of their performance of the Machala single in what appeared to be a lounge. Tiga was the main performer, and an upbeat Efe was seated next to him. The video was posted by Tiga itself two days after Efe’s birthday and with the message “It’s all love” with a white flag floating in the background. No ill feelings @carterefe_ more life.
This adds another twist to their contentious and widely publicized falling out, which resulted in the song being removed from all music streaming services before being published again on September 16.
Dreams do come true, as Niniola is living her long-held ambition of working with Diddy years after DMing him. View their talk and read about how this incident developed below.
The Queen of Afrobeats and Nigerian diva Niniola have agreed to work together with American music entrepreneur Diddy.
A tale of divine providence and destiny, Diddy and Niniola first met via video chat, with the former urging the latter to approach the collaboration in the following way: “I want you to do it all and send it to me one time when you feel like I’ve given this song my all because it’s our song.” You brought about this a long time ago.
Then Diddy explained how he came to work with Niniola. He remarked, “SPINALL told me about her when I was looking for someone to be on the Afrobeats remix. I call her instead of messaging her because I want to work with her, but I notice that you messaged me in 2018 saying you want to work with me one day.
There are currently no details available regarding the specific Diddy song Niniola is scheduled to contribute a verse to, but the media mogul released a 16-track album in June of this year called Bad Boy Celebrates Diddy: The Artist, which featured diverse talents from Keyshia Cole, R Kelly, Mario Winans, the late Notorious B.I.G. In addition, Diddy released the tune “Go On” featuring Bryson Tiller. Therefore, any of these tracks could be the partnership Diddy stated was an Afrobeats remake.
The title and date of Black Sherif’s debut album, which will be released in 2022, have been revealed.

As we are all aware, it can be difficult to stay on schedule when we have appointments, whether it be for work, classes, or gatherings with friends and others.
In Nigeria, the practice of scheduling catch-up appointments an hour or two later than the actual time is known as “Africa Man Time.”
I’ll give you some advice in this article on how to get things done and schedule your appointments as early as feasible.
Here are five crucial pointers to help you arrive for appointments on time:
Review Your Plans.
You must first evaluate your arrangements if you expect to keep appointments. Before you ultimately leave the house, the plans must be the most crucial things you need to set in motion. Make a list of them, consider them, then take action.
Set alarms.
Personally, I find alarms to be really beneficial when attempting to keep on schedule occasionally. As we all know, it keeps you intact and acts as a quick reminder.
Put Your Plans Into Action.
You must adhere to all the instructions in this phase, including the preparations you must make before leaving the house.
Do not use “African-Man Time”.
Every Nigerian will be catching up with appointments an hour or two later at this same period. In this region of the planet, it occurs frequently. Today, avoid using African man time to catch up on appointments early.
Avoid Distracting Elements.
You must avoid anything at this time that could impede you from completing the tasks required to get ready for your appointments. Avoid using your phones, laptops, Play Stations, and TV, and keep them out of the room.
In conclusion, pay attention to your plans, consider them, set alarms, carry them out, and avoid using African man time to avoid missing appointments in the future.

In less than two minutes, the popular Nigerian musician had sold out of his O2 Academy seats.
Ahmed Ololade, better known by his stage name Asake, is a prominent musician from Nigeria who has quickly sold out all tickets on the priority list for his concert at London’s 02 Academy.
The talented singer, who is presently on his “Mr. Money with The Vibe USA Tour,” recently revealed that he will make a stop in the UK and perform in Birmingham and Manchester on December 3 and December 10, respectively, as well as the 02 Academy Brixton Arena in London on December 11, 2022, which has a capacity of over 4,000.

The Premier League organization has named the September 2022 Player of the Month.
On Friday, September 30, 2022, Marcus Rashford, a forward for Manchester United, made the news on the team’s website. The English player’s performance against Arsenal and Leicester City in September earned him the honor.
Marcus Rashford
Rashford acknowledged his happiness at receiving the honor and his appreciation for his teammates’ recent efforts. Since January 2019, the English player has not received the honor.
It’s a satisfying feeling. Considering how weakly we started the season, getting four straight victories is pretty impressive. We’ve gotten considerably better at following the manager’s instructions even though our relationship is still relatively fresh. We’re all looking forward to taking the many steps that remain with you, though, together.
The 24-year-old defeated Phillip Billing, Kevin De Bruyne, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Alex Iwobi, and Jacob Ramsey to take home the prize.
Although Korean writers are well known for their romantic comedies, I can understand why horror dramas are so unjustly underappreciated. The writers package them up to look like nice, hilarious, bright movies, so your brain won’t even realize you’ve been watching horror until you’re paralyzed on your seat. At your own peril, watch all five of them, oh.
All of Us Are Dead(2022)
The zombie film All of Us Are Dead deviates from the norm. For a show with so many graphic images and numerous jump scares, it is remarkably light. It centers on a group of secondary school students who are trapped in their building as a terrible zombie apocalypse breaks out.
Your heart will be trapped in your mouth as you watch these kids struggle to survive against the exceptionally powerful zombies that are continually evolving. But you enjoy that, right? Enjoy.
The Cursed(2020)
The Cursed centers on Forest, a flourishing IT business. Rich businesses like these typically indicate that the owners’ opponents are being slaughtered like ants in K-drama. However, Jin Jong-Hyun, the chairman of Forest, made the decision to boost the ante by employing cunning strategies. Naturally, Forest becomes involved in a significant case because the owner and the thief have different days. A reporter named Im Jin-Hee risks her life to discover the case’s mystery.
Goedam(2020)
Goedam is an eight-episode Netflix horror anthology series that consists of a number of brief dramas.
If you watch them late at night, they’ll all make you sign the cross because each episode has a unique plot and cast of characters. But be careful—episodes 1, 2, and 6 could cause heart attacks.
Sweet Home(2020)
In Sweet Home, horror and thriller are expertly balanced. Additionally, it is among the most watched Korean horror films on Netflix. Secondary school student Cha Hyun-soo, who is the main character, loses his family in an automobile accident, leaving him an orphan over night. He moves to an odd building where he can carry out his suicide in peace because, of course, he wants to, but soon strange things start happening among the occupants. Somehow, he ends up battling for his life alongside other locals against other people who have been transformed into monsters. It’s a compelling take on the monster genre and the principle of “survival of the fittest” in these streets.
Kingdom(2019)
Fans of Joseon-era dramas will find it humorous to observe how Kingdom combines historical drama components with a zombie apocalypse.
The crown prince Lee Chang, who learns of the advent of a strange disease, is the subject of this drama. He sets off on a quest to track down the royal doctor, who could have information regarding the pandemic. But instead he discovers a colleague of the royal physician.
The suspense in this story stems from witnessing individuals struggle for survival while using antiquated weapons.
The rest of us are merely paying rent and agency fees in Asake’s world. Ololade mi Asake has been going nonstop since releasing the Olamide-assisted Omo Ope early in February 2022; it has gotten to the point where fans are pleading with him to rora and follow his own counsel.
However, despite Asake’s clear dominance of the Nigerian music scene at the present, his dress choices are being criticized, and such criticism doesn’t sit well with my soul. I’m prepared to die on that hill for Asake since she is a style icon. If you don’t believe me, take a look at these pictures.
The renowned Joha big denim pants.
When Asake shared the video that sparked the #JohaChallenge, he warned supporters that he was ready to unleash severe fashunz on their heads before donning a skirt as a top. He was sporting a pair of denim that was big enough to accommodate everyone at YBNL simultaneously. I can, however, see the sense in it; it’s an indication that he is growing quickly and has the foresight to leave space in his trousers to accommodate it.
Asake the pastel king.
Who else can pull off pastel green and pastel pink, also known as powdered pink to all my aso ebi-loving mummies? Come on, Asake is knowledgeable about fashion. I feel happy because of how his hair color complements everything.
God bless this Kenneth Ize suit.
Asake deserves praise for his new home and vehicle, but is he really handing out this Kenneth Ize attire? That is the crucial query. Send this fit to our Surulere office and let them know it’s for Conrad, Asake, if you’re reading this. Thanks, sir.
Exactly! who is breathing?
See how firmly this shirt is fastened? This is a body kidnap rather than just a body hug. How was Asake’s breathing when filming the Palazzo music video? Life is a wonderful thing.
Asake created enormous clothing.
Asake is demonstrating to everyone how monotonous and overused tailored suits are. Find a suit that is three times your size and pair it with the biggest shoes you can find if you truly want to stand out, my man.
Motorcycle-inspired style.
Charly Boy or Asake? It’s so seamless that I honestly can’t tell the difference, and I adore it!
Erling Haaland has talked openly about the players who approached him about choosing Manchester City over other teams.
The Norwegian forward opened up in a recent interview about players who had reached out to him, offering words of advice and urging him to choose the blue side of Manchester. Erling Haaland’s move to Manchester City, which continues to shock the world of football today, has been a topic of conversation to this point.
This took place soon after Manchester City vs. Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
Haaland revealed that more than 15 players had called him and sent him notes, in which they mentioned four important stars who had persuaded him to choose City. Phil Foden, John Stones, Ruben Dias, and Kevin de Bruyne were among these players.
Haaland disclosed: “It’s the best sporting project in the football world right now… it’s where I think I’ll do the best.After City-BVB in 2021, almost 15 people said I should come. Stones, Dias, Foden, de Bruyne.
Being held close in one’s arms as a sign of love or affection is known as cuddling.
Cuddling is a common love language, but others prefer words, money, or even sex.
I believe that a lot of individuals enjoy cuddling, whether it is their preferred love language or not. Describe your ability to cuddle naked with your partner without becoming exhausted.
Do you think you’ll be able to control your arousal when you view your partner’s naked bodies, as most people do?
After several rounds of knacking, I cuddle naked! lol!. Perhaps when I’m exhausted, but if we haven’t completed “the do” by then, we must complete “the oh.” LOL.
How about you?
Is It Possible To Kiss Without Knacking? – Let’s speak.
The new Wizkid age has begun, and because I don’t know how to act at the moment, you’ll have to call me Gal Gadot. Nearly two years after releasing Made in Lagos, his best album to date, Wizkid is getting ready to release More Love Less Ego (#MLLE), and the streets are going crazy.
Here is all the hot tea I’ve been able to gather from those who attended the Grammy Award winner’s recent performance in London where he previewed songs from the album (Ayodeji, Lizzie’s body is not even cold yet).
There is an Ayra Starr feature that will chokehold everyone.
When Ayra Starr said, “E dey rush,” she wasn’t playing because, omo, her cup had transformed into a swimming pool. Ayra is reportedly on a hot track off of #MLLE, according to information reaching us from the late Queen Lizzie’s compound only hours after she released the remix to Bloody Samaritan with THEE Kelly Rowland.
Do you recall how Tems became a worldwide sensation thanks to Essence? Ayra Starr appears to be in her emi lo kan era.
This record probably will make you conceive.
Why do artists seem to want to make everyone pregnant? We first heard CKay’s Sad Romance, and now we’re hearing that #MLLE is jam-packed with music that makes babies. Cerelac is pricey, my dears. Be careful how you act this winter.
Beware of the song “Balance.” I understand why.
People who were fortunate enough to watch Wizkid perform have been raving about a song called Balance. Balance might become a hit before it even leaves Wizkid’s memory card, which is unusual for a track to do. Things are currently going well for Balance.
Wizkid’s song featuring Naira Marley? O por
Wizkid and Naira Marley
Rise up, Martian people, and stop wasting your master’s labor. I don’t know why this collaboration didn’t happen earlier, but Wizkid’s #MLLE is scheduled to feature the one and only Naira Marley. I already have this song at the top of my Detty December playlist, so you better believe it.
Rumor has it that the album will be released on October 29, 2022.
On the album, Travis Scott is featured.
It is hardly surprising that Travis Scott is on #MLLE considering Wizkid’s reputation for significant worldwide features. It’s likely the first of many international partnerships on the project, in my opinion.
The popular singer is actively promoting Afrobeats around the globe.
Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, also known as Oxlade, a fantastic Nigerian singer, composer, and performer, has announced his 2022 global tour.
The talented vocalist is gradually breaking into the international scene, as evidenced by his recent achievement of becoming the most shazamed song in France. His chart-topping single, “Ku Lo Sa,” which has also become a Tik-Tok challenge, is a prime example.
The world tour, dubbed “Catch Oxy in your City,” was announced by Oxlade on Thursday, September 29th, 2022, via his Instagram page. He will perform in a number of cities and nations, including Birmingham, Manchester, London, Dubai, and a number of others.
The winner of Manchester United’s player of the month award for September 2022 has been revealed.
On Thursday, September 29, 2022, the club’s official website revealed that Christian Eriksen, a recently signed player, had won the prize. The Danish athlete expressed his pleasure at the accolade he received thanks to the Red Devils fans’ voting.
Eriksen said: I think September has been nice. It is been a good ride compared to, of course, the end of August, which was a bit tough result-wise. But I think, personally and club-wise, the results in September were good so September was a good month. I’m grateful and thankful for the people voting. I mean I wasn’t sure when I arrived about there being a Player of the Month every month. I think it is the first club I’ve been at where you have that but, again, it means a connection with the fans and they feel part of it and I am pleased that they voted for me.
In the Premier League and the Europa League, Eriksen was a crucial component in Manchester United’s victories over Arsenal and Sheriff Tiraspol.
A significant injury concern has been placed on the Arsenal Football Club ahead of the North London Derby against Tottenham.
On September 29, 2022, The Gunners announced on their official website that Emile Smith-Rowe had undergone surgery. The midfielder has reportedly been limited this season by groin soreness, which has kept him off the field more often.
Smith Rowe
The midfielder is already undergoing rehabilitation after the successful operation that was performed in London over the past several days. On September 4, 2022, during the Premier League match against Manchester United, Smith-injury Rowe’s worsened.
He’s scheduled to start full-time training again in December 2022. The midfielder’s injury will likely worry Arsenal fans who want to see their team finish in the top four of the Premier League.
I’m an idealistic romantic. I enjoy giving and receiving affection. However, I am realistic enough to acknowledge that it is insufficient.
I once believed that a relationship’s first love would result in marriage.
I also used to think that only people in committed partnerships had sex, but now I realize that single people can enjoy more sex from various partners in committed relationships.
In the end, those who are single are winning.
I’ve always believed that maintaining the privacy of your relationship won’t force you to skip breakfast.
Now, I perceive things differently. Blazers, please!
What is a relationship-related belief you once had but no longer do?
In preparation for the general election in 2023, Tinubu asked the electorate to exercise “intelligent and discerning” judgment.
Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, has urged Nigerians to learn from the “mistakes of the past” as political campaigns formally begin on Wednesday.
In a statement on Wednesday, Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos, also asked the populace to exercise “intelligent and discerning” judgment as they got ready to elect the nation’s next president in the general election of 2023.
“We must show that we have learned from mistakes of the past. We must be prepared to make difficult decisions. We must be wise, we must be discerning; we must choose progress. We must favour reason over sentiment,” Tinubu said in a message to mark the official commencement of the 2023 presidential election campaign activities across the country”.
In preparation for the elections in 2019, Nigeria’s electoral agency, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), today formally lifted the ban on political party campaigning.
Last weekend, INEC made public the names and qualifications of the political parties’ candidates for the election.
In the contest to succeed incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, Messrs. Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) are seen as the front-runners among 15 others.
Since the former governor of Lagos entered the competition for success. Many Nigerians have expressed serious concern over Buhari’s health, particularly his detractors who have questioned if he is qualified to lead a nation that takes pride in being a “giant of Africa.”
Videos of 70-year-old Tinubu with his clothes wet have repeatedly been brought up by his detractors to raise concerns about his weakened health and insinuate that the APC presidential contender may struggle with incontinence.
In spite of this, Tinubu pleaded with Nigerians to join him in his goal of winning the position of leader of the nation, saying he was prepared to lead the nation to greater glory through creative ideas.
He claimed that as they launch their campaigns to persuade the populace to elect them to power, he and his running companion, Kashim Shettima, are prepared to present their vision of a flourishing Nigeria.
“Our nation stands at a brink of history,” continued Tinubu. Like practically every other country in the globe, we are faced with formidable obstacles. Some of them are of our own making, while others are the results of circumstances that are completely out of any Nigerian’s control. We cannot afford to make a mistake on this one, that much is evident.
As the APC gets ready to launch its campaign, Tinubu’s choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket has also been a significant oddity.
Even while the APC presidential candidate stated his action was based on merit rather than religious concern, the fact that Shettima, a sitting senator on the same faith platform, was flown has drawn criticism.
Because my WhatsApp status is filled with bling-bling images, around 1 million Nigerians flew to the UK last week.
When do people travel in this manner, huh?
Who can blame Africans, especially Nigerians, who are moving quickly to other nations, most notably the United Kingdom and the United States, in search of greener pastures?
With Nigeria’s current economic conditions, it is extremely difficult to exist in this region of the world.
Imagine that you are fortunate enough to travel to one of these nations of White Men and encounter a fellow Black person there.
What Can You Tell This Person Is Definitely A Nigerian By Looking At Them First?
Burna Boy, a superstar in Nigeria, has given an explanation for why people frequently misinterpret him.
Burna Boy explained that he keeps being misunderstood by many people since he has chosen to withhold much of his personality from the public during an interview with the international media source Dazed while visiting the Caribbean island.
He stated: “I tend to be misunderstood and the reason is that I have never really given anyone a chance to know who I am, and that’s what I tried to do.”
Burna added that he attempted to use his most recent album, Love, Damini, as a way to let people get to know him better.
He stated: “I tried to use this album to allow people to get closer to me.”
A Nigerian man astonished his partner by cooking a whole pot of soup with the N2,500 he had given her to make stew.
The startled man discovered a sizable pot of fish-filled soup as he entered the kitchen.
He admitted in a TikTok video that he had earlier promised his partner N2,500 to prepare a straightforward stew for them to eat, only to discover that she had instead created a pot of delectable soup.
Additionally, the soup included a variety of fish, including Titus and others. He struggled to accept that the soup was cooked with N2,500 since it seemed impossible.
He continued by inquiring about her source of funding for the soup because he was certain that the N2,500 he had given her was insufficient.
“I gave this girl 2,500 to make stew for me but getting to the kitchen I can see different types of fishes like Titus here. Na stew I dey expect oh. Where did she see money to cook this big pot of soup?” He said.
Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, a popular Nigerian singer, has purchased a new mansion.
The Afrobeats musician, who is presently on a globe tour, announced the news on his social media page.
He has “always desired a house along the waters for my wife and kids,” he says. He posted pictures and wrote: WHAT A YEAR ALWAYS WANTED A HOUSE BESIDE THE WATERS FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS , SO , GOD AND THE BEST FANS IN THE WORLD HELPED ME BUGA.
THANK YOU. RTID TO BE POSTPONED TILL NOVEMBER…. BUT ODO OUT OCT 14th
Nigerian celebrities and followers of the artist have celebrated with him on social media. He deserves congratulations.
The CEO of ROK Studios and founder of the ROK TV Channels, Mary Remmy Njoku, uploaded a post on Instagram that she said wouldn’t be comprehended by women “who think with their rent and latest iPhone.”
Money is the lowest gift a woman can receive from her boyfriend, claims Mary Remmy Njoku.
The director continued by saying that even if some people disagree with her, she is still at peace.
She penned: “The cheapest thing your boyfriend can give to you is MONEY.
“Only ladies who don’t think with their ‘rent’ and the latest ‘iPhone’ will understand this.
Drake made an appearance in Burna Boy’s latest music video “It’s Plenty”!

Omah Lay of Port-Harcourt appears to be living life to the fullest as he apparently gets a new mansion. See the images of his rumored new crib below.
Omah Lay, the creator of Boy Alone and Port-own Harcourt’s Afrobeats wunderkind, has made a new comment on the music scene after photographs of a mansion he allegedly just purchased surfaced on the internet.
On September 28th, a user with the handle @RichyWokes shared the news on Twitter. The poster captioned photographs of a beautiful property with Omah Lay himself appearing in one of the photos, “Big ups bro @Omah Lay” in the tweet.
Omah Lay, a very closeted artist known for sticking to himself as demonstrated on his debut album, Boy Alone, has yet to make note of his allegedly new acquisition and may not verify or deny it for some time.
However, images of the allegedly acquired mansion may be found below.
The head of YBNL is still using social media to share sneak peeks of unheard music.
Adedeji Olamide, better known by his stage name Olamide, is a hardcore rapper, singer, and songwriter from Nigeria. Sarz produced the song’s sample.

In a warehouse in Ikorodu, Lagos, the National Drug Law Enforcment Agency (NDLEA) recently found 1.8 tonnes of cocaine, which is estimated to be worth a staggering N19 billion Naira on the black market. On Tuesday, September 27, 2022, the agency released videos and photos showing that it had set the cocaine on fire.

Heavyweight rapper, a lawyer, and rights advocate, questioned the burning of the cocaine on Twitter the same day in response to the news. The rapper claims that the entire burning event is a hoax because the substance will be used as evidence in court and shouldn’t be interfered with. He stated: This administration must really think that we are daft sha!! What is this lamba that the NDLEA is giving with this cocaine seizure saga? Dem dey burn evidence?

Injuries have become a concern for Manchester United Football Club ahead of this weekend’s Manchester derby.
Harry Maguire, the club’s captain, will miss this match for the Red Devils due to an injury he sustained against Germany in the UEFA Nations League. Due to his recent poor performance, the centre-absence back’s might not be a major setback to the red section of Manchester.
Under Erik Ten Hag, Maguire has faced criticism and has struggled to make the team. The Dutchman has made the choice to start the majority of his matches with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
After experiencing a small hiccup in the first few games of the season, Manchester United fans will be hoping that their club can maintain their strong form.
After Drake made an appearance in the song video, the fans had some things to say.
The fans are over the moon that Drake, a Canadian heavyweight singer and rapper, made a cameo appearance in Burna Boy’s most recent music video for “Its Plenty.”
On Tuesday, September 27, 2022, afrobeats icon Burna Boy released the official music video for the chart-topping song “It’s Plenty.” Drake made a surprise guest appearance on the song, which was first made available back in July as part of his sixth studio album, “Love, Damini.” Drake is a Grammy Award-winning superstar.
Because of its high caliber and, most significantly, the Drake factor, the video, which was created by British outstanding cinematographer Troy Roscoe, got a lot of attention from fans.
The Nigerian superstar debuted songs from his forthcoming album at a private listening in London.
Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, is a top-tier singer, composer, and performer from Nigeria. A private listening session for his new album was held, and it was attended by a large number of celebrities.
The Afrobeats icon recently gave his London fans a preview of his upcoming fifth studio album, “More Love, Less Ego,” which is slated for release on October 29.

Winnie Harlow, Daniel Kaluuya, NSG, Julz, Skepta, Naomi Campbell, Fireboy, Ayra Starr (who also performed), and a host of other celebrities attended.
The YBNL star plans to spread his message at London’s famed 02 Academy.
Ahmed Ololade, better known by his stage name Asake, a prominent musician in Nigeria, has revealed the precise date of his performance at London’s 02 Academy.

It was revealed on Wednesday, September 28th, 2022, that the Neo-fuji act will take the stage at London’s 02 Academy Brixton Arena, which can accommodate 4,000+ people, on December 11th, 2022.
By December, it is also anticipated that the YBNL/EMPIRE signee, who is probably the biggest revelation in the Nigerian music industry, will perform as the headlining act in Lagos.
Davido has been dragged by Dammy Krane ever since he recently called him out on social media for debt!
Dammy Krane took the disagreement to Twitter on Monday and accused Davido of refusing to pay him for his songwriting contribution to an earlier-released track, even after privately approaching the DMW boss. According to the singer, Davido was still yet to pay him for his contribution to one of his songs.
Remember how Dammy Krane was occasionally detained in the US for fraud? Dammy allegedly skipped bail and escaped to Nigeria. After arriving in the US, he was arrested at the airport, accused of a crime, and given a jail term.
Davidó did not at all assist me when I was imprisoned – Dámmy Krane!
Dammy Krane claims that while incarcerated, he made contact with Davido and some of the 30BG’s key players to let them know that he had been sexually raped by some of his fellow inmates and to implore Davido to help him get out of jail as quickly as possible.
Dammy Krane was ignored by Davido since he was unable to take action and did not want to damage his reputation.
Dammy was deported to Nigeria after spending his sentence in prison. He has never stopped blaming Davidó “for leaving him in there to be in prison for so long” and pleading with Davidó to try and get an elite Attorney to try and get him out of prison but Davido didn’t do so, according to reliable sources. The sexual assault in the prison had a negative impact on his mental state.
In my view
Since he held Davido in such high regard, I personally believe his reasons for being unhappy with him are valid, but they should just attempt to work things out amicably.
To the rest of you,
Do you believe Davido was justified in ignoring him while he was incarcerated?
Afrobeats superstar Wizkid handed top Nigerian disc jockey Michael Babatunde Adeyinka, also known as DJ Tunez, a special gift.
One of the key members of the Starboy Entertainment family and Wizkid’s right-hand man, the American-based DJ has been Wizkid’s official DJ for the past five years.
On Monday, September 26, 2022, DJ Tunez, who recently released a project named “Cruise Control,” posted a picture of the Rollex watch that Wizkid gave it to him as a gift on Twitter to show his appreciation for the “Ojuelegba” singer. According to reports, the watch is worth millions of naira.
When Richie Marvin Chime Akuba, commonly known as Morachi, Range Rover SUV burst on a highway, he narrowly avoided dying.
On his Instagram feed, the musician posted the upsetting information. At the time, his song Hapuya, Like that was very popular.
He said that God had spared him from blowing himself up next to the car.
“God did it. Yes, he saved my life. I am grateful to God. My Range Rover exploded while I was still in the car driving on the high way back from Alabama to Atlanta,” he wrote.
The music of Nigeria is getting more intriguing every day. Hit songs from various record labels and independent artists, particularly those who are rapidly expanding.
But the music wouldn’t be complete without praising the songwriters, record producers, and sound engineers for their contributions.
I’ll list the Nigerian music producers who created the incredible songs we are now listening to with you guys in this article.
View the list below.
P.PRIIME
Peace Emmanuel Oredope One of the most sought-after music producers right now is Emmanuel Oredope, better known by his stage name P. Priime. Popular because of his moniker, “P!”
P. Priime has released many infectious songs over the previous few months, including: Fireboy DML and Asake’s “Bandana,” Victony’s “Apollo,” Omah Lay’s “Woman,” Reekado Banks’ “Ozumba Mbadiwe,” and a few tunes from Asa’s album “V,” to name a few.
Magicstiicks Beats
Oluwasunkami Temitayo Kareem, often known as Magicsticks, is the composer of all the incredible songs by Asake, a rising star in the YBNL.
The youthful and gifted musician has maintained consistency ever since DJ Neptune, the owner of his first major produced song titled “Nobody,” which features Mr. Eazi and Joeboy, released it.
He is the author of practically all the catchy tunes we have been exposed to over the last four to five months of this year. “Tune into the king of sounds and blues” is the producer moniker that has made him famous.
All of the tracks on Asake’s debut album, “Mr Money with The Vibe,” were produced by Magicsticks.
Finally, he created the number-one single “Normally” by Young Jonn.
Reward Beatz
Reward is a young and gifted record producer from Nigeria. He plays the Amapiano drums while flexing with the pop sounds.
He is responsible for Kizz Daniel’s number-one single “Buga,” Magixx’s “Shaye” and “All Over,” and Iyanya’s “Like,” which features Davido and Kizz Daniel.
Producer Reward Beatz goes by the moniker Banga! (run nau!).
Telz
Telz, a Grammy-winning record producer, is one of Nigeria’s most sought-after musicians. Since the release of his chart-topping tracks on Burna Boy’s “Twice as Tall” album, Telz has maintained consistency.
He is currently responsible for the creation of a number of seductive songs that are currently topping the music charts, including “Ashawo” by Fireboy DML, “Common Person,” and “Cloak & Dagger” by Burna Boy, to name a few.
The person behind the producer moniker FUN KILLA is Telz.
Pheelz
One of the top music producers in Nigeria and all of Africa, producer extraordinaire and multi-award-winning record producer Rii is renowned for his stage name “Rii”. For a very long time, the country has been known for a ton of incredible tunes.

Recall that Pheelz’s #1 song, “Finesse” featuring BNXN, was included in Barrack Obama’s summer 2022 playlist.
More than 10 million people have watched the music video for his most recent hit, “Electricity,” which features Davido.
Tempoe
One of the men who has been reliable since last year is Tempoe. He produced a few good songs in 2021, including Joeboy’s “Alcohol” and other top successes.
To provide songs like “Soso,” “Bend You,” and “Understand,” he recently collaborated with Omah Lay. recognized by the producer moniker “MAD!”
Please take note that this is not a list of the top music producers, rather a list of those who are currently producing hit songs.
Niphkeys
One of the folks who is huge on the Amapiano fusions is Niphkeys. The pop sounds and his powerful drum beats combine with the African shaker effects that have always worked for him. For Marlian Music performer Zinoleesky, Niphkeys had written and produced a few great tracks.
He co-produced “Dada Remix” by Young Jonn and “I’m a mess” by Omah Lay, to name a couple, more recently.
Olubankole Wellington, also known as Banky W, is a prominent Nigerian singer who is raising money to run for politics in Lagos.
In the PDP House of Representatives primary held in June for the Eti-Osa federal constituency in Lagos State, Banky W was declared the winner.
On Monday afternoon, Banky W asked for donations on his official social media accounts while enlisting the help of his followers to win the seat in 2023.
He stated: “If Impact is truly the goal, then we must no longer be content to shout from the sidelines; we must get into the system and fix it.”
Further aiding his request for public support, the singer highlighted that mainstream Nigerian politics is a complex and expensive venture.
He invited readers to view his post as an invitation to travel in cooperation with him.
In April, he gave an explanation of his motivation for running for office saying: “The Nigerian people need candidates who will earn and treasure their right to serve. And as a nation, we need innovation and reform.”
Rapper Chance the Rapper and Nigerian heavyweight vocalist David Adeleke, better known by his stage as Davido, were recently spotted working in the studio together.
The pair, who have demonstrated that they get along well, are still seen together while they work to advance their artistic careers.
Recall that Chance the Rapper unexpectedly showed up at Davido’s concert in Chicago sometime in June 2022.
This came when Davido and Chance the Rapper collaborated in a club in 2021 and debuted a song that, in Davido’s words, was meant to be on his “A Better Time” album.
Pictures that have been circulating online depict both performers at what appears to be a recording session in Ghana, providing an update on the situation.
No wonder Wizkid dey always avoid Davido, Baba no fit forget wetin OBO do am.
This incident happened far back as 2012.
So for you guys, here is the complete gist.
Although Davido may claim to be Wizkid’s “brother” and even deny that a conflict is developing between the two artists, insider sources indicate such is not the case.
Before Davido’s meteoric rise to fame, he and Wizkid had never met, but that soon changed as Davido also became well-known and they were able to connect on a friendly level until sometime in May, when the amicable connection soured.
Wizkid apparently wasn’t having a great time while chilling at a hotel somewhere on the Island so he decided to call his friend, Davido, who at the time was hanging out with five other friends of his, according to an insider who is familiar with the pair and the origin of their no-love-lost relationship. The Omo Baba Olowo then gave his assistant the order to go pick up Wizkid from a hotel located behind the 1004 building on VI.
Before moving the celebration to Movida on Idowu Taylor, VI, Wizkid quickly joined Davido and his group of friends at a club in the civic center where they had a few drinks.
While they were there, Wizkid had one too many drinks for the evening and Davido ordered some bottles of Hennessey for himself and two new friends who had joined them. As they drank, Wizkid grew tipsy and weak.
He was taken outside to Davido’s car, where he allegedly puked, right away. While abandoning his friend and coworker, Davido was nowhere to be found.
As Davido had vanished into thin air and was under pressure to pay the bills, the bartenders eventually produced a bill for about N500,000. Davido’s assistant then took the bartenders to Wizkid’s house, where he was compelled to write them a check to cover their unpaid expenses.
Their relationship suffered as a result of this one-off action because Wizkid felt betrayed by Davido. Following the painful dissolution of Mo’Hits, their relationship had already been put to the test because both artists’ allegiances were split between Don Jazzy and D’banj.
But it was when Davido was sending out invitations to guests for the launch of his O.B.O Album and he didn’t send any to Wizkid that would ultimately prove to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Additionally, to many people’s chagrin at the NEA two weeks ago in New York, Davido and his entourage allegedly sauntered out on a Wizkid performance.
Is it not clear that there is a problem between these two great stars after these occurrences, Davido’s denial, and Wizkid’s blatant silence in the face of all the “fighting” rumors? Could this be the time, from Wizkid’s perspective, when “quiet is golden”? Only time will tell.
This Day is the source of this article.
Will Wizkid ever be able to forgive Davido for what he did to him?
According to the Recording Academy, there are presently discussions about adding an Afrobeats category to the Grammys.
Harvey Manson Jr, the CEO of the Recording Academy, verified this to Ghanaian media.
In order for the academy to decide to create a category for Afrobeats, a proposal must be submitted. This is what is currently being worked on to ensure accurate representation of the various hues and styles the Afrobeats sound possesses. Harvey Manson confirmed that the recording academy had a listening session with major players in the Afrobeats scene.

The popular vocalist has a track record with the talented rapper and singer from Canada.
Sensational Drake, a Canadian music icon, has a single with Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, a singer, songwriter, and performer from Nigeria.
The Mavin Records/Jonzing World signee has given his fans more to look forward to in terms of his activities in the global music scene. He recently discussed how he felt when American rapper Kendrick Lamar followed him on Instagram.
Rema, who has already collaborated on songs with international singers like 6lack, Chris Brown, and a host of others.
In a quick interview for her web series “Chicken Shop Date,” English journalist and YouTuber Amelia Dimoldenberg stated in passing that he had a song with Grammy-winning artist Drake called “Mention.”
Some less gifted actresses are being forced to act in surprising ways by the fight to stay relevant in the industry.
Nkechi Blessing is one of those actresses who lacks talent and has nothing particularly noteworthy to offer the industry, in my opinion. I do not find her to be talented in any way.
She is so desperate that she will do anything to maintain her status and keep getting paid.
At her mother’s one-year memorial service yesterday, she was spotted sharing Dildo.
Check out the video:
🎥@ Goldmynetv
Sadly, while engaging in all of this crap to remain relevant, she doesn’t actually make much more money than others who are talented. Sad reality!
Now let’s get to you all.
What do you think of the useless Nkechi blessing that was recited at the mother’s one-year memorial service?
Rush has solidified Ayra Starr’s position as the country’s “sabi girl” of music, topping the Apple Music top songs lists. Read on to learn more.
With Mavin Records’ self-described “sabi girl,” Ayra Starr, climbing to the top of Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Songs lists, it has truly turned into a fight of the fresh bloods.
Rush has now overthrown Asake’s rule on the top songs chart, with the YBNL singer’s Joha ranking as the second top song. This comes after the record had jumped from the fourth position to the third on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top 100 charts.
Though the top songs chart for Apple Music Nigeria differs from the Top 100 chart, the former always serves as a guide to the rankings of songs on the latter. The Top Songs chart, which is updated before the Top 100, also indicates that Rush by Ayra Starr is the current No. 1 song in the nation.
Since being signed as a Mavin activation talent in January 2021, Rush has achieved a new peak, making this her third solo hit. Bloody Samaritan from her debut album, 19 & Dangerous from her debut self-titled EP, and Away from the same album are among the other songs.
Rihanna has informed her fans that she will perform at the annual football extravaganza’s half-time spectacle.
On Sunday, September 25, 2022, the great singer announced the news on her official Twitter account. In the first 20 minutes after posting a picture of her tattooed arm holding a football, she earned over 500,000 likes.
She declined the invitation to perform at the event in 2019 three years prior to this statement. Because of how Colin Kaepernick had been treated at the time, she decided against going there. Two years later, the lawsuit was dropped after Kaepernick and the NFL reached a private settlement. He is still unsigned.
On February 12, 2023, the game—which has one of the largest single TV viewership of the year—will take place at Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium.
Wizkid, a popular musician from Nigeria, smashed a record with his beloved album “Made In Lagos.”
Made in Lagos has received more than 500 million streams as of today on the international music service Spotify.
The fourth studio album from Wizkid is called Made in Lagos. It was released by RCA Records and Starboy Entertainment on October 30th, 2020. The album’s guest performers included Burna Boy, Skepta, H.E.R., Ella Mai, Tay Iwar, Projexx, Tems, Damian Marley, and Terri. P2J served as the album’s executive producer.
On April 23, 2006, Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon established Spotify, a privately held Swedish supplier of media services including audio streaming. As of June 2022, it had over 433 million monthly active users, including 188 million paid members, making it one of the biggest music streaming service providers.
Celebrities from Nigeria are dominating the world, and we love to see it.

At the Global Citizen Festival in Ghana, Tems, a well-known musician from Nigeria, had a truly fascinating moment when she spoke about why she continually promotes gender equality.
While the audience cheered, the hosts questioned Tems about why she continually promotes gender equality in her songs and podcast.
The singer responded by saying she was in favor of it because women don’t have enough opportunity.
She went on to declare that she would give women more opportunities and chances if she could.
Tems said: “We don’t get enough chances. Women need more chances, women need more opportunities in this world. And if I can give it, why not.“I feel if you love someone you show them off. And I want to show off every woman in this world because they deserve it”.

Prior to 2019, the knighting of a legendary album took place every second to every third year. This only made sense since there weren’t many albums released, which meant there weren’t many excellent albums, and because the rate at which artists released albums was inadequate in and of itself. Davido, who only put out two albums during the review period but accomplished countless feats to become an all-time great, is a clear example of this. Having a strong discography was only a bonus in this sector, which was mostly a singles market.
Although there were iconic albums that gave rise to the period between 2012 and 2014, such as Olamide’s trifecta of YBNL, Baddest Guy Ever Liveth, and Street OT (all albums won in the Album Of The Year category at the Headies.) In 2016, Simi released Simisola, and in 2017, Kizz Daniel released New Era. However, it wasn’t until 2018 that multiple albums achieved notable success in a single year. Both Outside by Burna Boy and About 30 by Adekunle Gold were commercially and critically successful songs. Particularly Burna’s Outside, which eventually led to his ascent to the pinnacle of the mainstream.
The enormous popularity of African Giant and Fireboy DML’s Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps will intensify the tide the next year. The latter was more of an unparalleled mainstream hit in the business, but the former was a significant record trigger point in the ‘Afrobeats To The World’ movement. We hadn’t experienced this level of popularity on a first album since Wizkid’s Superstar in 2011.
The biggest winner at the 14th annual Headies was Fireboy, who took 5 prizes, including Album Of The Year, Best R&B Album, Best R&B Single, and Best Pop Album.
Before starting to prepare themselves for their own individual projects, it was almost as if every artist paid close attention to the rebellious-esque popularity of Fireboy’s debut album and its influence on the soundscape. It’s not unrealistic to believe that even artists who hadn’t planned to release an album that year chose to do so as time went on given the enormous increase in album releases that occurred in 2020. The year 2020 gave us a ton of timeless and soon-to-be timeless songs, including Made In Lagos by Wizkid, Carpe Diem by Olamide, Twice As Tall by Burna Boy, Apollo by Fireboy DML, Boo Of The Booless by Chike, etc.
Additionally, EPs had a tremendous year. Omah Lay had a record-setting breakthrough year thanks to two successful EPs that yielded numerous hit songs. Even though practically every song on Get Layd was a successful single, What Have We Done gave rise to the artist’s biggest solo hit to date, Godly, which came from that album. Bella Schmurda debuted with the very energizing High Tension, following a breakthrough Olamide co-sign in Vision 2020, while Tems also released a strong breakout EP in For Broken Ears.
It was safe to state that the market was back to being an album market at the end of 2020. Moving forward to the third quarter of 2022, we are experiencing a year that is equally crowded and inundated as 2020 in terms of releases. It certainly seem possible that we could witness a flooding album year every two years as a trend.
In a span of six weeks in 2020, the three most popular and influential artists of the previous ten years released their albums.
Nigerian A-list and B-list musicians appear to have an odd preoccupation with the third and fourth quarters of the year. In 2020, the second half of the year saw the publication of 70% of the year’s new albums, while the last quarter saw virtually weekly album releases. For instance, in the week that followed the release of Burna Boy’s Twice As Tall, Cuppy’s debut album Original Copy and Adekunle Gold’s Afro-Pop Vol. 1 were both released on the same day, immediately following the release of Fireboy DML’s Apollo the day before.
Olamide’s Carpe Diem arrived just three weeks before Made In Lagos by Wizkid, Davido’s A Better Time, and Wizkid in the span of two weeks. In actuality, had it not been for the #EndSars protest and internet campaigns that paralyzed the business, the time between CD and MIL would have been shorter. Although their records were released in a short period of time, these three performers were unquestionably the most successful trio of the previous ten years.
In any sector, having a crowded album culture is not ideal. Projects require time and breathing room to reach their full potential, allowing both analysts and non-specialists to assess the project’s true potential for success. The market is currently being oversaturated with projects, which is preventing the one released the week prior from having a chance to establish itself. We have had the same barrage of back-to-back album releases in 2022—since July, to be exact.
Boy Alone, Playboy, The Guy, Bad, Love Damini, The Brother’s Keeper are all albums that were released since 1997 at a period with inadequate breathing room. The longest amount of time between albums was two weeks, and the fact that the current generation struggles with short attention spans and that record rotation is often brisk doesn’t help.
Even performers with respectable fan bases, such as Adekunle Gold, Falz, and Simi, have received lukewarm reviews for albums they released earlier in the year. Talk about breakout performers that put out great initial EPs but never had the chance to fully transform into popular stardom. Only musicians with contemporary momentum have survived in this competitive field.
Two new musicians signed by Mavins in 2022 were Bayanni (on the left) and Boy Spyce (on the right). Despite making outstanding EP debuts, neither project was able to establish a solid staple in the crowded mainstream.
Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego is rumored to be set for release in October. Next month also sees the release of Blaqbonez’s Young Preacher and Ayra Starr’s 19 & Dangerous Deluxe Edition. This week will see the arrival of Ckay’s Sad Romance, and there won’t be many weeks between that release and the anticipated influx that will follow. Since a number of musicians, including Davido, Runtown, Bella Schmurda, Show Dem Camp, Zinoleesky, Bad Boy Timz, Lojay, and a host of others, will release albums before the year is up, we can be sure that November and December will be busy as well.
We must learn from other, more advanced businesses and refrain from releasing all of our important albums at once in the second half of the year. In order to maximize each album’s potential and ensure that it achieves its full potential, mainstream musicians should be more willing to release albums in Q1 and Q2. Great albums will continue to slip under the radar until that time, while a select few unlucky ones steal the show. Both audiences and artists profit from an album release schedule that is more balanced and healthy.
Burna Boy, a self-described “African Giant” and Odogwu in the Nigerian music business, has scored yet another triumph with the UK’s Gold certification of his song “Last Last.”
On September 23, the official Brits Awards Twitter account confirmed this certification along with a picture of the “Last Last” album cover showing a gold stamp.
As “Last Last” joins Burna Boy’s African Giant album and his Ye single in having officially sold 400,000 units in the UK, it earns the singer his third Gold certification.
Burna Boy is now, by default, the Nigerian and African musician in the area with the most Gold certifications.
Afrobeats sensation Wizkid will be the featured performer at another amazing international concert on November 16 at New York City’s renowned Madison Square Garden.
The talented singer takes the stage and joins Burna Boy as the only African performers to offer a memorable performance at the MSG Arena in New York, which has a capacity of 20,789 spectators.
On Friday, Wizkid made the announcement via his Twitter account, confirming the concert date and the 30 September 2022 start date for ticket sales.

A material stronger than diamond has been discovered by scientists. They claim that lonsdaleite may both instruct us on the history of the earth’s evolution and strengthen instruments used in industry, such as drill bits and saw blades.
Diamonds, go along. The bling in town is stronger. Meet lonsdaleite, a long-held idea. Scientists have now confirmed that it exists on Earth, according to CNN. Get ready for this: lonsdaleite and diamonds both include carbon, but lonsdaleite has a hexagonal atomic structure, whereas diamonds have a cubic atomic structure. What is the major difference, then? The stone is 58% stronger than standard diamonds thanks to its hexagonal structure.
Lonsdaleite was discovered in a meteorite that, according to scientists, originated from a billions of year old dwarf planet. When an asteroid struck that planet, pressure was released, resulting in the formation of the stone. Lonsdaleite’s high hardness may be used to create extremely robust tools for use in industrial settings. However, researchers also believe that this discovery can help us understand how the cosmos interacts and, ultimately, how Earth became a planet.
Ahmed Ololade Asake, better known by his stage name Asake, a rising celebrity in Nigeria, has discussed how Wizkid was an inspiration to him when he was a young musician there.
The Internet has been flooded with an old video of Asake talking about the renowned musician Wizkid.
The rapidly rising performer, “Mr. Money With The Vibes,” discussed the musicians he admired after the publication of his highly anticipated debut album.
Asake said in the interview that Wizkid is the only performer he admires, and no one else.
According to him “In Nigeria I Look Up To Wizkid, Just Wizkid”
When someone is immensely wealthy, it signifies their wealth is enormous and they have unlimited resources.
Every man in Nigeria wants to be in charge of his home since, as they say, the man is the family’s head. It implies that he should be respected by his wife and children because he is the one who works to support and care for the family.
However, you find a woman who you would like to start a family with, but she wants you to be the man and doesn’t want you to work; she will do all the work and take care of everything. She will give you whatever you require, no matter how much. You only need to take care of the kids, the house, and the laundry.
So, what choice will you make?

Wizkid, a multi-platinum selling and Grammy Award-winning sensation, would do a live performance unlike any other at The Roundhouse in London and would be streamable on Apple Music in over 165 countries.
On September 27, 2022, a live recording of this historic concert would be made. Big Wiz is rumored to sing brand-new songs from his upcoming album, “More Love, Less Ego.”
The latest performer on Apple Music Live, the live concert series that gives the biggest names in music a platform to engage with audiences around the world, will be Wizkid. Apple Music Live, which was introduced this spring, has previously included only live streams of concerts by international superstars Harry Styles, Lil Durk, Mary J. Blige, and Luke Combs.
Wizkid disclosed: “Apple Music has always been a supporter of my career and a major tool in connecting me with my fans.
Wizkid
Collaborating with them on something like this is special. I’m excited to debut new music from my forthcoming album ‘More Love, Less Ego’ and share my Apple Music Live show with fans across the world.”
Wizkid’s much-anticipated new single, “Bad To Me,” was released earlier this month via Starboy/Sony Music International/RCA Records.
The song, which was created by Wizkid’s longtime producer P2J (also known for his work with Beyoncé, Doja Cat, and Burna Boy), is a statement of lust in its purest form, with sensual sounds over a pounding beat that only heightens the tension.
Used refers to being exploited by someone else for their personal gain.

Bella Shmurda, a Nigerian street-hop artist, has made a comeback with a brand-new song titled “Philo.” This time, he invites Omah Lay, whose magnificent vocals graced the album.
Bella Shmurda’s fifth release of the year, Philo, comes as he works to release a first album. It is a follow-up to his album of self-evaluation, New Born Fela.
The reality TV star continued by saying that she “saw shege” and that the man who absolutely broke her heart is Igbo.
The expression “Yoruba demon” is a fiction, according to former Big Brother Naija contestant Uriel, because heartbreak has nothing to do with a tribe.
A young Casanova who is often of Yoruba heritage and has the remarkable ability to effortlessly entice women to them is referred to as a “Yoruba demon” in Nigeria.

Olamide, a legendary rapper, has received praise from Zlatan for his contribution to the growth of the Nigerian music business.
The father of one, who also received his big break after working with Olamide on the song “My Body” in 2017, has been riding that wave ever since, becoming one of the most popular indigenous talents in the music industry.
On Wednesday, September 21st, 2022, a video that went viral on the internet showed the rapper thanking Olamide for supporting him and other Nigerian musicians. He continued by citing figures like Adekunle Gold, Ycee, Dotman, Fireboy DML, Naira Marley, Pheelz, Young Jonn, and Asake to support his claim.
Without a doubt, Olamide has made a significant contribution to the game, and strangely, the list keeps growing for the YBNL frontline act and owner.
If by this time you still disapprove of Asake or his music, you ought to go there and be examined out.
The year’s biggest rave artist, Asake, released his debut album on September 8th, 2022, following the release of several top-charting singles.
The much awaited album was warmly received and has broken new records both inside and outside of Nigeria, continuing his impressive streak.

Here you have it, the first Afrobeats Debut album to Debut on UK official albums chart 🔥
Mr. Money With The Vibe, which peaked at number one in 26 countries on the Apple Music Album Chart, achieved that position in 26 countries, including 6 European nations.
Since the album’s debut, it has shattered records and replaced them with new ones. Asake’s status as the most active Afrobeats artist of 2022 is strengthened by the album.
It seems probable that the album will continue to break records as it enters its first month.
So, guys, these are the questions:
Do you believe that any of your favorite artists can surpass his records?
Russia has been barred from qualifying for Euro 2024 as a result of its invasion of Ukraine, according to Uefa.
Since the conflict began in February, the country and its clubs have been barred from participating in Uefa and Fifa competitions.
The qualifying draw for Euro 2024, which Germany will host, will take place on October 9 in Frankfurt.
Russia filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the bans, but it was denied in July.
The decision to ban Russian teams was first made by Uefa’s executive committee on February 28, 2022, and was later upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on July 15, 2022.
Uefa added in a statement: “Russia is therefore not included in the Uefa European Football Championship 2022-24 qualifying draw.”
With the signing of some of the best and most promising musical stars, Naira Marley’s Marlian Records has over the years revealed itself to be nothing more than a “cruise label” in disguise.
Naira Marley announced the debut of his label on December 30, 2019, during the Marlian Fest, with the automatic signing of 4 acts: Zinoleesky, Mobhad, Fabian Blu, and C Black.
Despite this, Zinoleesky has shown he has what it takes to compete for the top spots in the Nigerian music industry by releasing hit after hit and fiercely competing for the “Next-Rated” award, which he ultimately lost to Buju. A prize that his employer Naira Marley didn’t get any credit for.
Zinoleesky
Because Zinoleesky evidently isn’t receiving the proper vibe to help him become greater than he already is, his potential keeps being constrained in his label.
Despite having everything necessary to do so, Zinoleesky has never been the star of a show; why is this?
It is obvious that Marlian Records is just a smokescreen for smokers looking to be in style when you look at the organization, from the boss to the entire unbeatable squad.
The Marlian Fest, which has Naira Marley as the headlining act and label boss, as well as all the other artists on the roster and various affiliates, has also lost its relevance from when it first began.
Less than 500 people attended the Marlian Fest in the past two years, which began with over 4000 people at the Eko Convention center in Lagos.
Due to the over 5-hour show delay in the last edition, many attendees left the stadium before the performance even began.
Only an hour would be left for Zinoleesky to perform for his admirers and have another opportunity to show the world who he is in a different realm.
A label that never wants to improve and would rather seek affiliation with artists who perform at worldwide events.
The manager announced his intention to hold his Marlian Fest in 2021 at the SSE Arena Wembley in London, but the event was cancelled.
Let’s cut the chase guys.
Would Zinoleesky Have Performed Better Had He Been Signed to Olamide’s YBNL Label, Do You Think?
Do you believe Zinoleesky himself is content having his name on the Marlian Record?
I just hope that Asake won’t start thinking that he is now extremely big to start tackling Wizkid because of all the hailing.
I’m really happy Olamide is with him though, because he’ll keep him in line and make sure he doesn’t stray as even he wouldn’t dare choose a date that would conflict with the Wizkid Show date.
Asake yesterday announced his concert, which will take place in December 2022, but he hasn’t yet revealed the precise date.
Unfortunately, many of his followers have been pressuring him to schedule his show for the same day that Wizkid will be hosting his own in an effort to “prove to him who the real boss is.”

The results for Paris Saint-Germain over the past week can mostly be attributed to Lionel Messi, who has had an incredible start to the current campaign.
The Argentine scored the lone goal in PSG’s victory against Lyon. After scoring a goal and an assist in the Paris club’s 3-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League midweek.
Messi has now scored six goals and sent out eight assists in 11 games this season after both games, and his goal last night helped him past Cristiano Ronaldo in the statistic.
With 672 goals overall, one more than the Manchester United forward, Messi now holds the record for most non-penalty goals scored in a career.
Not only did Messi break this milestone this week, but he also became the first player to score in 18 straight Champions League seasons with his goal against Maccabi Haifa.
With that goal, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner also surpassed Ronaldo once more in terms of the number of opponents he has scored against in Champions League history, to the tune of 39.
The fact that Messi is still setting records and playing at his present level at the age of 35 should thrill Argentinians as they prepare for a crucial World Cup for the greatest player in the history of the sport.
As Big Wiz’s personal DJ, DJ Tunez, revealed the name of his upcoming single, it appears that he still has a lot to offer in 2022.
It has been revealed by DJ Tunez in a recent post made on his social media platform today, Monday, September 19, 2022, that Wizkid will release a new song after the release of “Bad To Me.”
Big Wiz’s upcoming song will be called “Money & Love,” according to DJ Tunez. Although the official release date has not yet been determined, fans are ecstatic about the news.
Wizkid will release a new song following the release of “Bad To Me,” according to a recent post made by DJ Tunez on his social media platform today, Monday, September 19, 2022.
According to DJ Tunez, Big Wiz’s future song will be titled “Money & Love.” Fans are overjoyed by the news even if the precise release date is yet unknown.
Since the turn of the new decade, however, there has been a manic insurgence of albums and the industry has once again returned to being an album market, since the eras of CD’s and mobile Mp3 players. This contrasts with the previous decade where there were sparse releases of albums from A-list artists and premier labels. Now that music is more widely available because to DSPs with millions of tracks in their collections, we are in the era of streaming.
Additionally, social media has encouraged debate and constant comparison regarding albums and their inherent value. Unfortunately, a significant portion of this discussion is driven by personal bias and non-objective opinions; as a result, the arguments made are barely persuasive. This simply highlights how critical it is to identify the criteria and measurements that constitute a great record.
Let’s first bust some myths about what constitutes a great record before finding the important measurements. Some people fervently believe that an album’s brilliance lies in its capacity to deliver hits that would rule the charts. Some believe that exceptional albums receive the most playlists and stream traffic. And for some people, it’s the range of sounds and auditory diversity included in the body of work. All of these are reasonable justifications for what a great album may accomplish, but they are not the only ones. The music itself still has grandeur.
The art of creating a great album is not only lost on fans, but also on some of our A-list artists. So the question of what makes a great album arises once more.
There are five key metrics that an album must meet before it can be considered an overall great project, and they are as follows:
Sonic cohesion.
Unharried transitions.
Expansive & pristine production.
Excellent songwriting.
Topical progression/optimal track sequencing.
To help readers relate, we’d be breaking down each point individually with real-world examples from well-known albums.
Sonic cohesion
An album should feature tracks that sound like they were made from the same sonic material and have a common theme in their production and vocals. By encouraging a sense of unity, an album with strong sound cohesiveness helps to invigorate the experience and make the project more wholesome. Great musicians are aware of the importance of album coherence, which is why some of them choose to have one or two producers who share similar viewpoints produce the entire project.
Pheelz and Type A on Fireboy DML’s Apollo, London and Andrebeatz on Rema’s Rave & Roses and Ayra Starr’s 19 & Dangerous, Kukbeats on Ruger’s EPs, and most recently Magicsticks on Asake’s Mr. Money With The Vibe are some examples. By employing specific concepts in the song production, such as using common riffs, chords, and percussions across the board, the aural coherence is achieved while ensuring that each song has its own unique sound and feels like a cohesive whole with the other songs.
Even with many producers working on the project, excellent sonic cohesiveness is still possible. Omah Lay’s Boy Alone, one of the best pop albums released this year and with excellent sound cohesiveness, is a wonderful example. Despite the project having more than ten producers, the sound cohesion is still strong, which is a credit to the project’s A&R team’s efforts as well as Omah Lay’s vision.
Boy Alone production credits, via the artist’s Twitter.
Unharried Transitions
On an album, it is crucial that the transitions between songs don’t sound hurried, forced, or harried. Why? When the transition is unpleasant, it detracts from the whole experience since it serves as a reminder that a change has been made and a new music is now playing. The best albums have transitions that are so smooth that the listener is so engrossed in the satisfying experience that it nearly doesn’t register when a song changes.
On Rema’s Rave & Roses, the transition from track 1 (Divine) to track 2 (Hold Me) is one of the best I’ve heard on a Nigerian album this year. The varied instrumentals in Divine’s final few seconds make it seem like a scene from a movie, and they seamlessly transition into Hold Me’s first few beats such that the change is barely audible. This album does have some flaws, but when it comes to transitions and even sonic cohesiveness, it really shines.
London oversaw the production of Rave & Roses and is one of the most talented producers in the current generation.
Expansive & Pristine Production
I mentioned earlier that some musicians choose one or two producers solely to guarantee the coherence of the album. On the other end of the decision-making spectrum, some musicians choose a variety of producers to guarantee a vast and flawless production. Utilizing multiple producers would encourage variety and diversity in sounds, which would help make the overall experience more enjoyable as opposed to being monotonous. It only makes sense because different producers have different strengths.
It is in fact a very fine line to walk because a diversity overdose could damage the album’s cohesiveness. Playboy by Fireboy DML is an album that does admirably well in this regard. Playboy aims to be a diverse showcase of sounds, which worked well in enhancing the album’s quality. This is in contrast to his previous albums, which had fewer producers and were more sonically cohesive as a result. Although it was not the most well-organized effort, neither the songs nor the transitions had the impression of being rushed.
Playboy had a large-scale production that aided its diversity theme, and like Boy Alone, it was the creation of many producers. Despite not being as unified as Omah Lay’s effort, it had tremendous vast production.
Excellent songwriting
Simply simply, good songwriting and solid execution are required for an album to be great. It doesn’t have to be the most complex and original writing; it only needs to be good enough for the songs and relevant to the genre. For instance, the most profoundly philosophical lyrics shouldn’t be used in a pop song. It is first and foremost a feel-good genre that should be groovy and entertaining. No matter how impressive the songwriting, it doesn’t work for it if it would hinder that.
Hip-Hop, of course, should have a more impressive songwriting structure overall because the beauty lies in the bars, punchlines, double/triple entendres, comical analogies, tight rhyme schemes, and so on and so forth. The R&B genre could benefit from more empirical songwriting because its core is primarily related to love stories. Songs of the same genre shouldn’t be approached in flows and rhymes in the same way; instead, great songwriting should be layered.
In terms of sheer technicality, Boy Alone and Bnxn’s Bad Since ’97 boasts some of the year’s most brilliant songs. The style of Fireboy DML in Playboy is more straightforward, yet it is very profound and features emotional and precise rhyme schemes. Although not very innovative, Asake’s MMWTV features some outstanding songwriting that successfully carries out its intended purpose.
Bnxn is one of the top songwriters among the current generation of performers, right up there with Omah Lay and Fireboy.
Great music ultimately aims to make listeners feel good because to its pleasing harmonies. Great songwriting with poor sonics and melodies would always lose out against simple songwriting with excellent sonics and melodies. Don’t get me wrong, amazing songwriting can be found on some of the best albums, and every artist should want to achieve that. However, such writing is useless if it cannot be used in relation to the music or if it takes precedence over other, more important matters.
Topical Advancement/Track Sequencing at its Best
First and foremost, what exactly is topical progression? It’s simply an album’s inherent quality to have a track-by-track progression that makes sense topically and isn’t scatterbrained. It doesn’t make sense, for example, for an album opener to have themes about the artist defying all odds and coming out strong, and then in the second track, they’re already talking about cowering under pressure.
Not every album will provide a straight-forward, linear narrative like a book. Some albums have so many facets and layers that several interpretations and stories can be derived from them. While others only have a hazy development of subjects and don’t actually attempt to tell a tale at all. Whatever the situation, the topical progression should be logical and seamless. This is when the subsequent, concurrent point of ideal track sequencing enters the picture.
The order of the songs on a great album is ideal, with the topics complementing one another both sonically and thematically from the first song to the last. This is one of the key differences between an album and a mixtape or playlist, which are typically essentially compilations of songs with no real connection to one another. When played alongside the rest of the album, pre-released singles from a fantastic album make even more sense because of the excellent track sequencing.
Albums that successfully meet the aforementioned criteria are immediately regarded as classics. While some albums gradually acquire their classic status as a result of both their endurance and innate greatness. However, it is a reality that an album that checks off all the necessary criteria encourages its longevity and replay value because it delivers an excellent listening experience at an exceptional value.
Made In Lagos achieved gold status in the US last month. It is the first album to accomplish this accomplishment by an African artist.
Some albums have earned the title of “classics” throughout time due to their influence. Made In Lagos by Wizkid is the classic illustration. The album is excellent and has aged well, but it isn’t quite of the “classic on arrival” caliber. The making of this claim does not negate the album’s deserving classic status. It simply implies that today’s standards for what constitutes a classic album are significantly more complex. As is practically any discussion of what makes a great album.
As expected, the buzzing singer will delight his fans with a headline performance at the “centre of excellence.”
The YBNL/EMPIRE Neo-Fuji performer, who is undoubtedly the biggest revelation in the Nigerian music business, just released his album, “Mr. Money With The Vibes,” and the record has gone on to top numerous charts and get massive stream figures.
Just ten days after releasing his album, on Sunday, September 18, the gifted singer sparked yet another online craze by sharing a sneak peek of a brand-new song. He promptly continued that trend by announcing the highly anticipated performance in Lagos.
The musician, who will begin a tour in the United States in late September, announced the date of the Lagos performance on his Twitter page. However, no specific day has been chosen.
As he tweeted: Mr Money With The Vibe Concert. Live in Lagos Dec 2022. Date coming soon.
David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has responded to a man who threatened to slap his babymama, Chioma, for a statement she made.
Everything began when Davido’s brother, Adewale Adeleke, displayed a 90 million naira custom-built Bentley Bentayga.
Chioma simply commented, “Congrats, bro,” in the comment section.
A commenter reacted to her statement by criticizing her for using impolite language and saying that if he were Adewale, he would have hit her.
He stated: “You are rude, if na me I for slap you, rephrase your sentence with respect”.
Davido was enraged by this statement and vowed to make him “run” away from Nigeria.
‘@bighush7 you go slap who? Ok u go run from Nigeria .. bet it’, the singer said.
The commenter later apologized and begged forgiveness, he said: ‘@davido I nor try am prize you ooooo!!! Na your grace I wan tap from and I don get am ooo forgive me!!! Na you I they with ooo’.
Recently, Wizkid’s song “Bad To Me” was released, and it quickly rose to the top spot on Apple Music, knocking Asake’s song “Organise” to number two.
A feat that Davido, Burna Boy, and other well-known artists were unable to accomplish when they released their own songs.
Asake’s “Organise” is back at number one right now, and it’s unfortunate that all of Davido’s fans are backing Asake only to put Wizkid in the doghouse.
Remember that when Davido released “Stand Strong,” it failed to stay at the top for one day.
At this point, I’ll put my pen down and invite other Wizkid fans to join me in celebrating our own Machala.
I’ll be waiting for Machala supporters and detractors in the comment area.
Skiibi, a musician, and Ms DSF, an actress, have ended their relationship months after announcing it on social media.
The two ignited dating rumors in July of this year after sharing cuddly selfies of themselves.
DSF had published numerous images of them to snare their detractors. DSF contends that they must enrage their critics. On her Instagram story and Snapchat, DSF shared a number of images and videos of them using PDA.
She wrote in the image’s caption, “Offend Dem”. In another she wrote, “E dey pain dem….e dey sweet us”.
Additionally, Dorcas shared a video of the pricey gift that Skiibii gave her. Skiibii had wanted to spoil her because of her position. She wrote in the video’s caption, “My baby said pamper day”.
According to information obtained by 626blaze, the pair have split up since their situation has deteriorated and their relationship is no longer stable.
Looking at their Instagram accounts reveals that they have stopped following one another. According to a person close to the couple, Skiibii cheated on her and left her for another woman.
The best Nigerian musicians have names for their fan bases over the years, which helps to in some ways distinguish them from one another.
Without limitation, it is well known that Wizkid, also known as the “Wizkid FC,” has the largest fan base in Nigeria.
The ones belonging to Burna Boy and Davido are referred to as the “Outsiders” and the “30BG,” respectively.
Naira Marley and the “Marlians,” Rema and his “Ravers,” and so on are other examples.
Asake has been on my mind recently, and given that he is currently the center of attention and that many Nigerians appear to adore his music, I believe he should think about creating a moniker for his fanbase as well.
Though it has been challenging for me to think of one.
The excellent and Grammy-nominated fourth album from Wizkid, the pioneer of Afrobeats, can make you forget that the suave singer excels at getting the party started with passionate, fast-paced music. With songs like “Caro,” “African Bad Gyal,” and “Pakurumo,” Wizkid has dance floor fire whereas the majority of Suited in Lagos is made for slow whines and chilling out. In reality, his 2011 debut, Superstar, is an upbeat electronic track with an African edge that was probably influenced by EDM at the time.

Wizkid attempts to break out of the recent beautiful and sensual rut he’s been in by tackling the dance sound that is beginning to characterize this era in African music: Amapiano, on his first release of 2022 as the lead artist. The song “Bad to Me” was produced by P2J (the executive producer of Made in Lagos and a go-to beat-maker for Afro-excellence for many stars). It starts off with a four-count that sounds a bit like Pharrell but soon transitions into electrifying percussion with shekere and deep drums. Bright keys add some romance to the song as Wizkid enters with his first stanza, honoring yet another awful gyal and her spinning figure: “This kind of body don dey cause a migraine,” he goes.
The gentle image Wizkid has been cultivating over the past few years is combined with this club-focused moment to create the instantly appealing “Bad to Me.” From the log drum to the call-and-response outro’s echo (a la Asake or “Finesse”), it is obvious that the Starboy team is aware of the trends in world music. The release of “Bad to Me” has sparked an internet discussion on the origins of South African style’s effect on Nigerian music, however many Afrobeats artists have been exploring Amapiano as well.
When a Davido fanatic attempted to discredit Wizkid’s work by claiming that it was the result of Davido’s forays into Amapiano (such as the remix of “Ke Star,” “Champion Sound,” and “Watawi” with South African star Focalistic), DJ Maphorisa, a major figure in the genre, referred them to his collaborations with Wizkid and Burna Boy with Kabza De Small on “Sponono Others have attempted to stake a claim for themselves and their favorite Nigerian artists’ works using Amapiano components after Maphorisa’s remarks. But rather than claiming ownership of the hybrids, Maphorisa’s reaction to the Davido fan seemed to promote a deeper understanding of them. “No one owns amapiano anyone can do it n win,” he wrote.
Wizkid’s MLLE (More Love Less Ego) Album Will Be Released On the 29th Of October, 2022.
The deluxe edition of Nigerian singer Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe’s debut album, “19 & Dangerous,” which she performs under the stage name Ayra Starr, is expected to rock the music industry.
Ayra Starr, the hottest girl on Mavin Records and the country of Nigeria’s youngest female popstar, is getting ready to release the deluxe edition of her self-titled debut album.
A year after its release and a few months shy of her 20th birthday, the singer is on pace to show Nigerians and music fans that she still has it with six new tunes that will be added to the 10 on the original project to create a 16-track project.
Ayra Starr’s most recent single, “Rush,” was well appreciated by music fans and acted as a lead-in to the deluxe edition of her upcoming album, 19 & Dangerous.

In all honesty, Fireboy is progressively taking a back seat in YBNL as Asake receives more and more attention and buzz.
Although Asake is currently not on anyone’s level, including Olamide, Fireboy is still quite popular. He is scorching and sizzling hot.
Even if Asake may not be Olamide’s primary priority, it is natural to pay closer attention to the newest member of the team. Normal range.
It’s possible that Fireboy feels uncool in YBNL and wants to leave like Lyta.
I’ll explain, yes.
Do you still have any memories of Lyta’s 2019 YBNL incident?
In YBNL, history is set to repeat itself… What a wonderful moment it is to live.
Olamide didn’t drive Lyta out of YBNL or chase him away. In addition to feeling it, Lyta also felt neglected and that Fireboy was receiving all the attention, thus he made the decision to leave the label.
The exact same scenario is about to occur as Fireboy can become upset with how everything is currently developing around Asake.
It’s acceptable to feel that way because we are all just human. If the label starts paying more attention to another artist on the roster than of me and you, it will not be cool at all.
Check out the tweet below:
You noticed Makinde’s Tweet up there, right ?
I’m not the only one who is considering this, as you can see. It’s also being noticed by other people.
Well, allow me to pose this query to everyone:
Do you believe Asake will be able to remove Fireboy from YBNL, as she did with Lyta?
With his “African Giant” album, Burna Boy sets a new record.
Burna Boy
Burna Boy comes to mind while discussing record-breakers.
A new record was just set by the acclaimed album “African Giant” by the “Last Last” Crooner.
African Giant is now the first African album to receive a Gold certification from Canada.
Burna Boy, a singer from Nigeria, released his fourth studio album, African Giant. On July 26, 2019, Spaceship Entertainment, Bad Habit, Atlantic Records, and Warner Music published the album. Afrobeats, Afrobeat, dancehall, pop, and hip hop are all represented on the album.
After flinging a champagne bottle at two strip club workers and accusing one of them of having an affair with her husband Offset, Cardi B has agreed to a plea agreement that would save her any jail time.
In court on Thursday, the rapper, whose actual name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and reckless endangerment.
Instead of the prison term she would have received under the original felony charges stemming from a savage assault on two female bartenders at Angels strip club in the NYC borough in 2018, the bargain carries a penalty of 15 days of community service.
The unexpected plea agreement, which was reached the day before the trial’s jury selection was to start, would spare the Grammy-winning artist from giving potentially humiliating evidence in court.
Cardi B showed up at Queens Supreme Court in a form-fitting white dress and white heels to enter her plea of not guilty. As she walked out of the courthouse, she said to reporters, “I feel like I look good.”
Stefflon Don, a British rapper and Burna Boy’s ex-girlfriend, opened out about their breakup in an interview with media personality TT Torrez on New York radio station, Hot 97.
After being directly questioned by Torrez, Stefflon Don revealed about their broken relationship, saying “So we all know, your last boyfriend Burna Boy, y’all no longer together, what happened?” To this Don replied saying that while they were together for two and a half years but had to part ways.
Then Torrez questioned if she believed that his number-one single, Last Last, was about her. Then, after asking what she believed, Don informed the media personality that her assumption had been accurate. Stefflon Don claims that Burna Boy made a misleading statement on the record, but she generally felt neutral toward the song.
In interviews, Burna Boy and Stefflon Don frequently referred to each other as their husband during their two and a half years of public dating, which began somewhere in 2019 and ended in late 2021 or later.
Since this is Stefflon Don’s first time going out about their breakup, the world is still unaware of the reasons for it.
However, there were rumors about Burna Boy’s adultery and a post-breakup tweet from Stefflon Don in which he said that people weren’t always what they looked to be and occasionally switched up with money and fame.
Rapper DiamondTheBody, who is located in the US, has admitted to having more than 2000 sex partners.
In a recent interview, the rap diva, real name Brittany Nicole Carpentero, discussed her sex life.
She mentioned how she had lost her virginity at the age of 12 and had since had sexual relations with 2,000 people, many of whom were women. The artist claimed that no one should judge her for her extramarital exploits.
“I’m telling you the truth. I was 12 years old when I lost my virginity. I remember everything like it was yesterday. But for my body count, I’d say I’ve sl3pted around 2,000 times between the ages of 12 and now. I’ve also done a lot of females. I’ve done both men and women. Definitely 2000 s3xual partners. It is what it is. Only God can judge me. “I don’t care.”
Diamond made headlines in August 2022 when she shared a photo of herself in b€d with a man claiming to be Burna Boy.
The disgraced musician was found guilty of using child pornography and seducing children.
In a federal trial held in Chicago, R. Kelly was found guilty of crimes related to child pornography.
The disgraced musician was found guilty of three charges of child pornography and three counts of luring children for sex, according to CBS News. The 55-year-old was cleared of seven other allegations, including conspiracy to obtain child pornography and obstructing the course of justice. Milton “June” Brown, a former assistant, and Darrell McDavid, a co-defendant and former accomplice, were cleared of all charges.
The accusations came from the Chicago state trial, where he was cleared in 2008. Kelly faced 21 counts of producing movies that contained child sex abuse in 2002. One recording’s validity was confirmed by the police and FBI, but a jury in 2008 was unable to establish that the individual on the recording was a minor, therefore Kelly was freed. McDavid and Brown, his co-defendants, were charged with manipulating the 2008 state trial by intimidating and bribing witnesses.
Kelly has been found guilty twice so far this year. He was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking in New York in June and given a 30-year sentence.
In contrast to painting superheroes like Spiderman, Burna Boy claimed that he eventually made the decision that he wanted to be one himself. Burna Boy was the only name that sprang to mind.
Burna Boy has explained how he came up with the name that is now well-known worldwide.
Damini Ogulu may not be as well-known as Burna Boy in all countries, but that is only because the Grammy-winning musician is more often recognized by his stage name, Burna Boy.
For those who were curious about how the Last Last singer Burna Boy came up with his stage name, he has disclosed that it was inspired by his love of comic books and superheroes like Spiderman, Superman, etc.
The African Giant recently admitted that he loved comic books and that he also created them during an interview for the well-known American program The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Burna Boy claimed that rather than drawing superheroes like Spiderman, he eventually made the decision that he wanted to be one himself. Burna Boy was the only name that sprang to mind.
Burna Boy taught the well-known “afro moonwalk” dance to popular American TV host Jimmy Fallon during the show despite having a leg injury. Fallon requested it.
In essence, the afro moonwalk resembles the late pop king Michael Jackson’s signature dance move. However, Burna Boy claims that there is a key distinction between the two: “It almost feels like you are walking forward but you are not really moving.”
The singer remarked when describing the dance move: “The fans call it the afro-moonwalk. It is almost that you are walking forward but you are not really moving.”
In an interview with Adesope Olajide, DJ Maphorisa said that Starboy Wizkid was the one who first introduced him to the amapiano sound.
During the interview, he explained how Wizkid first heard about the sound from a DJ while they were out and inquired about what it was all about.
Maphorisa claimed that in order to get into the sound, he had to conduct some research on what it was all about.
According to him: (Wizkid put me on Amapiano)
Today, September 14, 2022, Wizkid released a new song called “Bad To Me,” and in it, he sampled the sound that got people thinking back to the DJ Maphorisa interview.
As we all know, there is currently a social media uproar regarding the first Nigerian artiste who introduced the popular South African beat “Amapiano” to Nigeria. Even May D claims to be the one who introduced the popular beat to Nigeria.
A-list artists such as Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido have recently jumped on this beat.
Wizkid released his much anticipated single “Bad To Me” today, September 14th, and the song has elicited a variety of reactions from fans.
Wizkid will appear on the beat for the second time, having previously appeared on Kabza De Small’s “Sponono” with Burna Boy in 2020.
On the other hand, Davido has been jumping on the amapiano beat more than the other guys. Songs such as “Champion Sound,” “Ke Star,” “High,” and others.
Burna Boy then appeared on DJ Tarico’s “Yaba Buluku,” another amapiano-infused song, before releasing “Different Size” with Victony on his album “Love, Damini.”
Other artists who have jumped on the amapiano beat include Zinoleesky, Asake, Niniola, Falz, Adekunle Gold, Mohbad, and many more. We can say that 90% of Nigerian artists have jumped on the amapiano beat.
So here is the question for you:
Davido, Burna Boy, Niniola, Wizkid, and others – Which Nigerian artist popularized Amapiano in Nigeria?
Many entertainers have died while performing live or recording a performance throughout history.
Many musicians have been murdered in the course of their careers. The vast majority of the musicians had been shot or stabbed to death.
Some of them have received widespread media attention, such as the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, the 1997 murder of the Notorious B.I.G., and the 2018 murders of XXXTentacion and Michael Jackson.
Furthermore, the Nigerian music industry has lost some of its artists over the last few decades. The majority of them died at the pinnacle of their respective careers. Dagrin, MC Loph, Kaffi, and others are among them.
Perhaps this is why football fans should not meddle in music matters.
A popular Manchester United fan on Twitter has sparked outrage after claiming Wizkid is NOT a top six artist in Nigeria. Hmmmm!
He even went so far as to say Wizkid’s last album, Made In Lagos, which was released in 2020, was overrated. Some of his followers agreed with his point of view.
I suppose we all have opinions… See his tweet below:
Divine Ikubor, better known by his stage name Rema, a Nigerian Afrobeat and Afrofusion artist, has added another feather to his hat of accomplishments with a new milestone on the Audiomack streaming platform.
Rema
He has joined a select group of Indigenous artists who can boast of having more than 200 million streams on the global digital platform Audiomack.
Rema made his debut in the industry with the release of his self-titled EP in 2019 and has since dominated the music scene. His top singles, “Ginger Me,” “Calm Down,” and “Woman,” which have received over 65 million streams on Audiomack, have established him as a household name.
Rema’s remix of his hit song “Calm Down,” which features international superstar Selena Gomez, received over 296K streams on Audiomack in less than a month after its release, helping him pass 200 million streams overall.
The mavins prince received the plaque from Audiomack Vice President of Marketing and Brand Strategy Jason Johnson during his sold-out headlining performance in New York as part of his “Rave and Roses” tour.
After accomplishing the feat, the “Ginger Me” singer received a recognition plaque and shared photos of himself posing with the portrait.
Burna Boy, a Nigerian Afrobeat and Afrofusion artist, is having a good run with his hit song “Last Last,” which has broken Wizkid’s “Essence” record in the United States.
The CEO of Spaceship Entertainment was not exaggerating when he stated that the number-one song has earned him more money than any of his previous top hits.
The African Giant’s most recent album, “Love, Damini,” contains the 2022 hit “Last Last,” which has sold over 500,000 units in the United States of America, marking yet another major career milestone for him.
Burna Boy’s “Last Last” becomes the fastest Afrobeats song to reach Gold status in the United States, only 121 days after its release.

As a result of this achievement, the song is now eligible for a Gold Certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). ‘Last Last’ is also the first Afrobeats song to sell over 500,000 units in less than 17 weeks.
Burna Boy has officially broken the record set by Wizkid with ‘Essence,’ which took over 17 weeks to receive a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)

Burna Boy, a renowned singer, songwriter, and performer from Nigeria, made another appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show,” and it was yet another entertaining evening.
The Grammy-winning singer appeared as a guest on the program in 2019, and on September 12th, 2022, he returned to excite his fans and the general public by sharing more about himself.

In one of the most recognizable technological images of the twenty-first century, Steve Jobs is shown holding the iPhone aloft while donning his trademark black turtleneck. Since its debut at the 2007 Macworld convention in San Francisco, the iPhone has developed into a worldwide phenomenon, with more than 1.2 billion handsets having been sold as of this writing.

The smartphone industry is currently a highly competitive one.
iPhone has accounted for a solid 16% of the worldwide smartphone market. But in the US, the iPhone has succeeded in capturing more customers’ hearts and minds. According to recent information from Counterpoint Research and the Financial Times, iPhones now account for 50% of all installed users* in the United States.
What makes this brand so well-liked when there are so many smartphone brands accessible to American consumers—many of them at lower price points?
The Apple of America’s Eye is the iPhone.
Numerous factors, according to experts, explain why the U.S. surpasses other markets for Apple’s main product.
Of all the major smartphone manufacturers, Apple has the most brand loyalty. Nine out of ten iPhone users in the US want to buy an iPhone as their subsequent device.
iPhones seem to lose value more slowly than other smartphones.
In general, American consumers are less price sensitive than those in many other nations.
Apple has been outspoken in its messaging about safeguarding user privacy and data, and it looks that this message is hitting home with customers.
It’s worthwhile to delve deeper into this final point.
In conclusion , Apple has used its marketing clout to affect public opinion at a time when Americans are concerned about privacy, regardless of whether iPhone is more secure than other devices. And based on these most recent installed user base statistics, it seems that this tactic is working.
On Monday afternoon, PnB Rock, the Philadelphia rapper best known for his 2016 hit “Selfish,” was fatally shot during a robbery at the Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles restaurant in South Los Angeles.
According to Los Angeles Police Capt. Kelly Muniz, a shooting occurred at 1:15 p.m. at the well-known restaurant on Main Street and Manchester Avenue.
Rock, 30, was at the restaurant with his girlfriend, who had posted a location-tagged photo in a since-deleted Instagram post.
Inside the restaurant, a suspect brandished a firearm and demanded items from the victim, according to Muniz. According to trusted sources, Rock was targeted because of his jewelry.
During the robbery, the assailant shot the victim almost immediately, according to Muniz.
“He shot the victim and fled the parking lot through the side door,” she said.
According to Muniz, the victim was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead at 1:59 p.m.

Wolves signed former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa on a season-long loan on Monday.
Since leaving Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro in January, the 33-year-old has been without a club.
Wolves were in need of attacking options following the arrival of a new signing. On his debut against Southampton last week, Sasa Kalajdzic suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury.
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Diego Costa to Wolves, and back to the Premier League,” said Wolves chairman Jeff Shi.
Diego Costa
“A serial winner with a wealth of top-flight experience, Diego will bring something special to our dressing room and on the pitch, and we look forward to his impact at Molineux.”
Wolves have scored three goals in their first six Premier League games and are 14th in the table with six points.
Costa previously played for Chelsea, where he scored 59 goals in 120 games and led the Blues to two Premier League titles.
However, his career has been marred by a string of on-field outbursts, and he has struggled to match the heights of his time at Chelsea and his first spell at Atletico Madrid since leaving London in 2017.
Costa returned to Brazil with Atletico Mineiro in August 2021 after spending two and a half years in Madrid, but he struggled to make an impact before his contract was terminated in January.

Rolling Loud is a hip hop music festival that takes place in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Canada. Complex calls it “one of the biggest rap-only festivals in the world,” while Billboard calls it “the be-all of hip-hop festivals.”
An estimated 210,000 people attended the event in Miami in 2019.
Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, who met in elementary school in Hollywood, Florida, founded the festival in 2015. When they were in high school, they began organizing and promoting parties that “leaned heavily on a mix of Southern and Midwestern rap.” In 2010, they transitioned to professional live music events, beginning with an after-party headlined by Rick Ross. By the summer of 2013, they were hosting monthly events in Miami with emerging artists such as Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar. Before recognizing the need for a genre-specific music festival, the pair promoted artists from Florida’s burgeoning SoundCloud rap scene under the brand name Dope Entertainment.
The first Rolling Loud took place in February 2015 in Miami, Florida, and featured artists such as Schoolboy Q, Juicy J, Currensy, and Action Bronson. It was held at Soho Studios in the city’s Wynwood district, though the venue was temporarily flooded due to rain.
Rolling Loud 2016 was held at the larger Mana Wynwood convention center and featured headlining acts Ty Dolla $ign, Young Thug, and Future.
Rolling Loud relocated to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami in 2017.
It has been held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens since 2018. The festival also expanded to other cities in 2017, with the inaugural editions of Rolling Loud Bay Area and Rolling loud Southern California.
Rolling Loud Australia in Sydney, Australia, and Rolling Loud NYC were added to the list of host cities in 2019. The same year, they announced Rolling Loud’s first European festival would be held in Portugal in July 2020.
However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the 2020 festival, which was originally scheduled to take place from May 8 to May 10, has been rescheduled for July 23 to July 25, 2021.
Due to similar circumstances, the European edition in Portugal had to be rescheduled for 2021.
Rolling Loud hosted a post-pandemic festival in Miami in 2021, with over 200,000 attendees. The festival collaborated with WWE and included a Friday Night Smackdown.
Rolling Loud continued to expand into new countries in 2022. Rolling Loud’s first collaboration with a European festival was announced in 2021 as a collaboration with the 2022 edition of Woo-Hah!, which will take place from July 1-3, 2022.
Rolling Loud Portugal took place on July 6-8, 2022, after being postponed in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rolling Loud Toronto is set to take place in Canada on September 9-11, 2022. From March 3-5, 2023, the festival will hold its first California edition at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium.

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo was not only a guest but also a preacher at the Love of Christ Generation Church (Cherubim and Seraphim), Oniru, Lagos, on Sunday, September 4, 2022.
The thanksgiving service, which drew many dignitaries, commemorated the church’s first anniversary as well as Reverend Esther Ajayi’s 15 years in ministry.
Obasanjo cited the Biblical experience of Joseph in prison, who interpreted the dreams of the Pharaoh and some of his top aides, in his sermon titled ‘Given Testimony.’ Obasanjo also told the story of Aaron and Moses, who went to deliver God’s message to King Pharaoh, who turned a deaf ear to the warnings.
The former president also emphasized that there were people who did not know God, such as Pharaoh.
Other dignitaries at the event include the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; the Chairman of the Parks Management Committee of Lagos State, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, among others.
One of the highlights of the event was when Obasanjo and Oluomo paid obeisance to the Ooni at different times in the church.
Oluomo could also be seen prostrating himself before the former president, before both men hugged each other.
Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, a Nigerian music star, has revealed some details about his life before becoming a household name.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, the singer stated that he believed he had a limited life span.
I came into the Music industry straight from Chelmsford HMP. I had no idea I would even live this long,” his tweet read.
Chelmsford prison
He also spoke about his time in prison while living in the United Kingdom.
Unbeknownst to many, the artist spent time in HM Prison Chelmsford before becoming a musician.
Burna Boy, surprisingly, alluded to his prison experience in the song ‘Glory’ from his 2022 album, ‘Love, Damini.’
Burna Boy sings about getting into fights and getting injured in prison in the song, which features the South African male choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
The lyrics went, “I remember when they shipped me from the cans To Chelmsford HMP and my celly had it bad.So I had to have his back, niggas started fightin’. Then they cut me on my hand. So I grabbed one from the back, and I flung him off the landing. You know the screws get extra ruthless when you’re Black.
‘‘Layin’ on my back, now the block’s feelin’ mad. Now I’m in a lab trying to do my best.”
Experience in a prison
The ‘Last Last’ crooner admitted in the tweet that becoming Nigeria’s biggest artiste is not his immediate goal.
He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to do what he enjoys most while caring for his people.
“Nigeria has never heard of me. I don’t care if I’m the most famous Nigerian artist; I’m just glad I can do what I love and provide for my people.
If you knew half of the things I used to do for money, risking my freedom on a daily basis, you’d be much happier for me.
I came straight from Chelmsford HMP into the music industry. I never imagined I’d live this long.
“Now it’s all just funny when people talk about me. “Of course, I’d perform with my injured leg, or even without legs or arms,” he wrote.
Chelmsford Prison
Chelmsford HM Prison is a Category B men’s prison and Young Offenders Institution.
It is situated in the English county of Essex, in Chelmsford. The prison is run by Her Majesty’s Prison Service.
It is both a youth prison and a local prison. In 1996, it was expanded.
A Category B prison is used to house those who do not require maximum security but whose escape must be made extremely difficult.
The Federal Government has condemned its recognition of the League Management Company (LMC) as the Nigeria Professional Football League’s operator (NPFL).
Following the federal government’s declaration of the Shehu Dikko-led League Management Company (LMC) as an illegal body, banning it with immediate effect, a crisis appears to be brewing in Nigerian football.
The federal government also directed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to immediately revoke LMC’s operational license and form an Interim Management Committee (IMC) to oversee the operation of the Nigerian elite league.
The statement, signed by Ismaila Abubakar, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, went on to say that the League should be run by the current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the LMC until a proper Professional League Board is formed in accordance with the NFF Statutes. This decision was made due to the obvious anomaly (which is contrary to our football statutes or the laws of the land) in which a private company is given the mandate to manage or run the league indefinitely, without the full involvement and leadership of the clubs, and without any process to monitor the game’s progress and development.
“As a result of the foregoing, and in order to save our domestic football from total collapse, the board of the LMC and the LMC as a body will no longer be recognized by the Federal Government as the operator of the Nigerian Professional Football League,” the FG said.
Issuing further order, the federal government noted that; “to avert further chaos in our domestic football, the NFF is advised to immediately withdraw the Licence given to the LMC and, in the meantime, set up an IMC, to include the current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the LMC to oversee the affairs of the League until a proper Professional League Board is constituted in accordance with the Statutes of the NFF.”
Both Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho were left out of Brazil’s squad for Friday’s friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia as Tite’s side prepares for the World Cup.

The five-time world champions face Ghana on September 23 in the French city of Le Havre before facing Tunisia four days later at the Parc des Princes.
Jesus, who joined Premier League leaders Arsenal from Manchester City this season, appeared 11 times for Brazil in World Cup qualifying without scoring. The tournament begins on November 20 in Qatar.
Coutinho, who has 21 international goals to his name, has had a slow start to the season with Steven Gerrard’s struggling Aston Villa.
Unsurprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar is included in the squad and could play in Tunisia alongside PSG teammate Marquinhos.
Brazil will begin their bid for a sixth World Cup against Serbia on November 24 in Lusail, followed by games against Switzerland and Cameroon in Group G.
Defenders: Danilo (Juventus/ITA), Alex Sandro (Juventus/ITA), Alex Telles (Sevilla/ESP), Marquinhos (PSG/FRA), Eder Militao (Real Madrid/ESP), Thiago Silva (Chelsea/ENG), Bremer (Juventus/ITA), Roger Ibanez (Roma, ITA).
Midfielders: Casemiro (Manchester United/ENG), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle/ENG), Fred (Manchester United/ENG), Fabinho (Liverpool/ENG), Lucas Paqueta (West Ham/ENG), Everton Ribeiro (Flamengo).
Forwards: Antony (Manchester United/ENG), Roberto Firmino (Liverpool/ENG), Matheus Cunha (Atletico Madrid/ESP), Neymar (PSG/FRA), Pedro (Flamengo), Raphinha (Barcelona/ESP), Richarlison (Tottenham/ENG), Rodrygo (Real Madrid/ESP), Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid/ESP).
Real Sociedad defeated Manchester United 1-0 in their Europa League Group E opener on Thursday, following an impeccably observed tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
Before kickoff, Old Trafford fell silent to honor Her Majesty, who died earlier that day at the age of 96, and players from both teams wore black armbands in tribute to the monarch.
According to Live Score, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was making his second start of the season, came close on several occasions for the hosts, who had only three shots on target throughout the game.
Mendez slotted home from 12 yards after substitute Lisandro Martinez had handled in the area, snapping the Red Devils’ four-game winning streak.
United were clearly the better team in the first 30 minutes, but they failed to create any clear opportunities.
Ronaldo thought he had given his side the lead 10 minutes before the interval, but his powerful header was ruled out after he had strayed into an offside position.

The Portuguese superstar inexplicably headed wide with the goal at his mercy immediately after the restart, before lashing just over from outside the penalty area.
La Real went ahead in the 58th minute when Mendez powered home from the spot after David Silva’s shot had struck Martinez’s arm.
Casemiro
Erik ten Hag brought on Bruno Fernandes at half-time, and Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho in the second half, but United were unable to find a way past the visitors’ stubborn backline in the closing stages.
After defeating FC Midtjylland in February 2016, United have not lost at home in 19 Europa League games, according to Live Score.
At the sixth attempt, La Real achieved their first victory in Europe over English opposition.
On Sunday, both teams resume domestic play with La Real traveling to Getafe in LaLiga and United playing away at Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Buckingham Palace confirmed on Thursday that Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history and an icon instantly recognizable to billions of people worldwide, has passed away at the age of 96.
Charles, Prince of Wales, the oldest of her four children and the oldest heir apparent in British history at 73, succeeds her as monarch right away.
Following the palace’s Thursday announcement that doctors were “concerned” for the queen’s health and that she remain under medical monitoring, the queen passed away.
Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward, all of whom are now in their sixties and seventies, came to her Scottish Highland home, Balmoral.
Charles’s sons, Prince William and his estranged brother Prince Harry, joined them.
Liz Truss was selected as the 15th prime minister of her reign two days earlier by the queen, who was photographed grinning but appearing elderly and using a walking stick.
One image from the encounter that showed a dark purple bruise on the monarch’s right hand caused concern.
Following World War II, Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne at the young age of 25 in 1952, entering a political world stage dominated by leaders such as US president Dwight D. Eisenhower, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong of China.
Her 70-year rule coincided with enormous social, political, and technological change spanning two centuries.
The final ruins of Britain’s extensive empire fell. At home, Brexit rattled her kingdom’s underpinnings while her family dealt with a string of scandals.
She was the monarch and head of state of 14 former British colonies, including Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, and she maintained her popularity throughout.
She also served as supreme ruler of the Church of England, the mother church of the global Anglican communion, and head of the 56-nation Commonwealth, which includes one-fourth of the world’s population.
However, concerns will be raised about whether the British monarchy’s heyday has come to an end, how a centuries-old institution can survive in the present, and whether Charles will demand the same respect or rule in his mother’s shadow.
Buckingham has announced not long ago that Queen Elizabeth II, the United Kingdom’s longest-reigning monarch, died at the age of 96 at Balmoral, after reigning for 70 years.
Her family gathered at her Scottish estate after health concerns arose earlier in the day.
Since her accession to the throne in 1952, the Queen has witnessed enormous social change.
When the palace summoned all of Elizabeth’s children to her side, it was clear that the situation was dire.
As it turns out, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were in the UK for events this week. Harry went to Balmoral.
Her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms following her death.
Prince Charles is the next in line to the throne, according to the royal succession. He would be crowned King, and Camilla would be titled Queen Consort.
While Charles is widely expected to be the next monarch… There has been speculation that he may abdicate, making his eldest son, Prince William, the new King of England.
Queen Elizabeth is survived by her four children, eight grandchildren, and even more great grandchildren, not to mention many extended Royal family members from all walks of life.
She was 96 years old.

This story is being updated, and more information will be available soon.
Carter Efe, a popular Nigerian comedian, is being dragged on social media by singer Berri Tiga over their Machala hit song, which was removed from all streaming platforms days ago.
Tiga went on the internet and claimed that he wrote and sang Machala. This caused quite a stir on social media, with rumors spreading that Efe benched Tiga after the track ‘blew.’
Remember how Carter Efe and Tiga created the Machala song, which swept the entertainment industry and went viral? According to new reports, the two stars had a falling out over the song, with one party claiming the other was trying to take all the credit.
Berri Tiga claims he wrote the Machala song from start to finish. The singer responded during an Instagram live session after some fans asked if he produced the song. He claims he is solely responsible for writing and singing the song.
Tiga went on to say that he had no idea why the song had been removed from all streaming platforms. He said:
“I effing sang Machala. I wrote and I sang Macahala 100% bro. I wrote Machala, I sang Machala from the beginning to the end.”
Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick in his first Champions League game for Barcelona, as Xavi Hernandez’s side defeated Viktoria Plzen 5-1 at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Barca, who failed to advance past the group stage last season, also had Franck Kessie and Ferran Torres score in an impressive performance.
Lewandowski has now scored eight goals in five appearances in all competitions for his new team.
“I knew it was going to be important to adapt right from the first game here,” he told uefa.com
“Today is my wife’s birthday, so the goals and the celebration were both for her.” It means a lot that she was in the stadium on her birthday. Something incredible for me.”
The five-time European champions will face more difficult tests in Group C, which also includes Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.
Following Bayern’s 2-0 win at the San Siro, the Catalan giants visit the Allianz Arena next Tuesday in a true test of how far they have come in the last year.
Kessie nodded the ball home in the 13th minute after Jules Kounde had headed Ousmane Dembele’s corner back across goal.
It was the Ivorian midfielder’s first goal for the club since joining from AC Milan during the summer transfer window.
Midway through the first half, Ansu Fati nearly doubled the lead, but his effort was saved by visiting goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek.
Plzen were awarded a penalty in the 25th minute after Andreas Christensen brought down Jhon Mosquera, but the referee reversed his decision after a VAR review and awarded Barca a free kick.
With his 87th goal in the Champions League and first for his new club, Lewandowski moved ahead of Karim Benzema into third place all-time.
In the 34th minute, the 34-year-old curled a low shot into the bottom corner from just inside the area. Jan Sykora headed in Vaclav Jemelka’s cross shortly before the break to give the Czechs a lifeline.
Plzen, on the other hand, couldn’t stay within a goal until halftime, when Lewandowski stooped unnoticed to head Dembele’s cross over the line.
In the 67th minute, Lewandowski completed his sixth Champions League hat-trick with a fine low strike from distance.
“I’m not sure if Robert is the best striker in Europe, but he’s the best for us,” Xavi said.
“He helps us play out, he presses, he brings us a lot of attack solutions.” Total maturity as a player, and absolutely stunning. He scored a hat-trick, but it was his teamwork that impressed me.”
Xavi’s men added a fifth goal soon after, with Torres drilling a brilliant volley on the turn into the top corner from Dembele’s chipped pass.
Plzen avoided further damage, but they face a difficult task in their remaining five group games, beginning with a home game against Inter.
Wednesday’s opening Champions League group match saw Napoli defeat last season’s beaten finalists Liverpool 4-1, continuing Jurgen Klopp’s team’s unsettling start to the season.
At the Stadio Maradona, Napoli pushed Liverpool aside with a frenzied first-half effort, and they rightfully led by three goals at the break.
In the fifth minute, Piotr Zielinski opened the scoring from the penalty spot, and two more skillfully executed goals from Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Giovanni Simeone, making his Champions League debut, left Jurgen Klopp’s team facing a humiliating loss.
The fourth goal was almost immediately added by Poland midfielder Zielinski to give Napoli the perfect start to Group A.
After a two-season hiatus, Luciano Spalletti’s club has returned to Europe’s elite tournament and is currently in second place, level with Ajax, who defeated Rangers in similar fashion. Napoli improved on a solid start to their domestic campaign, placing second in Serie A after five games, and will be buoyed by excellent showings from newcomers, especially explosive winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Georgian Kvaratskhelia, who has already won over Napoli supporters with his dynamic wing play and eye for goal, had a significant impact despite playing for less than an hour.
The Scots, meantime, have kept Liverpool off the bottom, and they are now focusing on trying to move up from seventh position in the Premier League.
Chelsea fired manager Thomas Tuchel as a result of the team’s disappointing season debut. The most recent performance, a 1-0 defeat in the Champions League to Dinamo Zagreb, was the tipping point for Todd Boehly, who has fired his manager with immediate effect.
While the Club works quickly to appoint a new head coach, Chelsea’s coaching staff will oversee the team throughout training and during the preparation of our forthcoming matches.
Due to Dinamo Zagreb’s shocking 1-0 victory on Tuesday, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Champions League debut for Chelsea was destroyed.
After being paired with Dinamo, Red Bull Salzburg, and AC Milan in Group E, Thomas Tuchel’s team was predicted to breeze through the division. But when Mislav Orsic’s first-half goal punished the Blues for yet another poor performance in Zagreb, their mission might not be as straightforward.
Tuchel is under pressure to produce championships in exchange for the enormous investment he has made after spending £250 million ($280 million) on new acquisitions since the end of the previous season. However, Chelsea’s spending binge hasn’t yet paid off as evidenced by their lack of standout Premier League performances and current streak of three straight away losses in all competitions.
Aubameyang had a forgettable debut after moving to Chelsea from Barcelona in a £10.3 million deadline-day move just months after his bitter departure from Arsenal. The 33-year-old only trained with Chelsea for the first time on Sunday and has only played eight minutes this season.
Aubameyang recently cracked his jaw following a brutal house invasion, necessitating a trip to Italy for the Gabon striker’s special protective mask to be installed.
Aubameyang appeared uneasy as he battled to get past the Croatian champions’ tight defense, whether it was the mask or his lack of familiarity with his new teammates.
When Kai Havertz whipped in a seductive pass, the first warning flag appeared when he chose not to attack the close post. Aubameyang then had a clear shot at goal but hesitated before deciding whether to fire or pass to Raheem Sterling, putting Zagreb in jeopardy.
Early on, Chelsea controlled the ball with dominance, but in the 13th minute, a merciless Dinamo counterattack caught them off guard.

Real Madrid battled over a hostile environment and the injury to Karim Benzema to start their Champions League defense with a merciless 3-0 victory at Celtic.
The record-extending 15th European Cup run of Los Blancos was put on hold when star scorer Karim Benzema suffered a knee injury 30 minutes into Tuesday’s opening.
At that point, Callum McGregor had already hit the post for Celtic, who were now back in the group stage after a four-season absence. Celtic also continued to pose problems for their opponents. But like they did so frequently last season, Madrid found a way, as evidenced by quick goals from Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric, after which Eden Hazard brilliantly added a third.
In a spirited first half hour for the hosts at a rowdy Celtic Park, Liel Abada and Reo Hatate both questioned Thibaut Courtois.
When McGregor was found by Giorgos Giakoumakis, Ange Postecoglou’s team came even closer to scoring when he fired a left-footed shot against the goal’s frame. Soon after, Madrid lost Benzema to injury, but if Joe Hart had not stopped Vinicius from beating him one-on-one, Madrid would have taken the lead at the break.
The visitors scored their first goal 11 minutes into the second half after surviving another scare when replacement Daizen Maeda missed a close-range attempt at Courtois.
At the end of a quick assault, Federico Valverde found Vinicius with a beautiful pass into the middle of the box, and the striker calmly finished past Hart with a first-time effort.
Four minutes later, Madrid scored again as Modric, who was making his 100th appearance for the team in the competition, nudged the ball past Hart and finished with the outside of the foot.
From that point on, everything went well, and Hazard, who had been substituted for Benzema, added a third goal from close range at the conclusion of a superb team move.
As the ‘Mandela’ star celebrates his 50th birthday today, here are the ten best moments of Idris Elba’s career.
Image source: HBO
He began his career as a murderer on BBC’s ‘Crimewatch’ before landing his breakthrough role in ‘Luther.’ The Golden Globe Award winner has had a glittering career spanning over a decade. From being awarded an OBE to being named People’s Sexiest Man Alive… As the ‘Mandela’ star celebrates his 50th birthday today, here are the ten best moments of Idris Elba’s career.
The start of Crimewatch.
Elba’s first role was as a murderer in a reconstruction scene on BBC’s ‘Crimewatch.’ Despite the fact that many actors refused to admit they appeared on the show, Idris was proud of his first on-screen role in the 1990s and expressed gratitude for the opportunity. “It sounds strange, but getting a job on ‘Crimewatch’ was the first rung on the ladder at the time,” he explained. Many actors are embarrassed to admit they worked on ‘Crimewatch,’ but I’m not.”
Ascending the wire to success.
After taking the first step up the acting ladder, it was all uphill for Elba, who continued to land numerous jobs. In 1994, he appeared in the BBC drama ‘The Boot Street Band,’ before moving on to a more significant role in the 1995 medical drama ‘Bramwell.’ Elba also appeared in Jennifer Saunders’ popular sitcom ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ that year, which was his first named role. But it was his role as dealer Stringer Bell in the HBO crime drama ‘The Wire’ that changed his life. The show aired from 2002 to 2008, and he was a major player throughout.
DCI John Luther arrives with awards.
Idris played DCI John Luther in the BBC series ‘Luther’ in 2010. He received three Golden Globe nominations for his portrayal of the gritty detective, and he won in 2012. His performances earned him the SAG Award for Outstanding Actor in a Miniseries or Movie in 2016.
A film star.
Elba made the transition from television to film as the lead in ‘Daddy’s Little Girls’ in 2007. Later that year, he starred in the holiday film ‘This Christmas,’ which grossed nearly $50 million at the box office. Idris Elba established himself as a major movie star after starring alongside Beyonce in the 2009 thriller ‘Obsessed.’ The film was a box office success, grossing $29 million in its first weekend.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.
Elba’s career high point was portraying late anti-apartheid activist and historic South African President Nelson Mandela in the biographical drama ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.’ Idris spent a night alone in a prison cell on Robben Island, where Mandela was imprisoned, to prepare for the role. Elba’s performance earned him a nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama at the Golden Globes. “That brings a lump to my throat,” Idris said after playing Mandela. “I devoted that role to my father.” With his big white hair and infectious smile, he reminded me of Mandela.”
OBE HONOUR.
Elba was named to Queen Elizabeth’s 2016 New Year’s Honours List in 2015 and received an OBE from Prince William for his contributions to drama. The ‘Beasts of No Nation’ actor took to Twitter to express how proud his mother Eve was of him. “I made my mother very happy today!! “Flying the East End flag at Buckingham Palace today!!! “OBE Day….. How does the boy look?” he said. Feeling good, Proppa…:)”
Sexiest man alive.
People named the ‘Luther’ star the Sexiest Man Alive in 2018, which he described as a “nice surprise” and a “ego boost for sure.” Idris Elba has joined a long list of Hollywood’s hottest stars, including Chris Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and John Legend. “I was like, ‘Come on, no way,” Idris said. ‘Are you sure?’ I checked myself out in the mirror. ‘Yeah, you’re kind of sexy today,’ I said. But, to be honest, it was just a pleasant sensation. It was a pleasant surprise, and it certainly boosted my ego.”
Beginnings in music.
Prior to his acting career, Idris Elba worked in nightclubs as DJ Big Driis when he was 19 years old. Elba returned to his musical roots in 2002, appearing in music videos for Fat Joe, Angie Stone, and rapper Giggs. In 2006, he recorded the four-song EP Big Man for Hevlar Records, and in 2007, he co-produced and performed the intro to Jay-album Z’s ‘American Gangster.’ Elba’s debut single, ‘Please Be True,’ was released two years later. Elba launched his own record label, 7Wallace Music, in 2018 and performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2019.
Philanthropy.
In 2014, the actor with Sierra Leonean ancestry joined the fight against Ebola, calling it a “human catastrophe” after the virus ravaged the country where his parents were married. “With new government commitments last week, the media’s attention was on Ebola, but the cameras will soon shift,” he said. Not until this disease is eradicated. Delivery on the ground must be expedited, and every country must contribute.” Elba also addressed the UK parliament in 2016 about his concern about the lack of diversity on the screen in terms of race, gender, and sexuality. “Change is coming, but it’s taking its sweet time,” he said.
Kick-boxing Star.
In 2017, Discovery Channel aired a documentary titled ‘Idris Elba: Fighter,’ which chronicled Elba’s 12-month kickboxing and mixed martial arts training after he defeated Dutch professional Lionel Graves in his first match.
At the 2022 edition in Atlanta, Georgia, Wizkid, who won his first Headies Award in 2011 with “Holla at your Boy,” shone brightly.
Ayodeji Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, is a prominent music artist from Nigeria who has won the Headies award more times than any other artist ever.
The artist took home five prizes at the 15th Headies Awards, which took place on Sunday in Atlanta, Georgia’s Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center.
Viewers witnessed live performances by Ruger, Ladipoe, Flavour, and other artists during the event, which was hosted by Nollywood actress Osas Ighodaro and Hollywood actor Anthony Andersen.
Wizkid won two of the four album categories, including Album of the Year and Best Afrobeat Album (Made in Lagos) (Made in Lagos-Deluxe Edition). His other two honors came from his song “Essence,” which he co-wrote with Tems. It was named Best Collaboration, Best R&B Single, and Song of the Year. On Saturday, September 4, 2022, Kanye West uploaded the single’s cover on his Instagram profile and said, “Best song in music history to date.”
Wizkid, who began winning Headies Awards in 2011 with the Next Rated Category song “Holla at your Boy,” has now won a total of 16 Headies.
Stefflon Don, a popular British rapper and the ex-girlfriend of Nigerian superstar Burna Boy, sparked outrage on social media when she discussed her views on church attendance. The British rapper recently interacted with fans on social media, answering a slew of questions.
A fan asked the rapper if she goes to church, and her response quickly went viral.
Stefflon Don claims she stopped attending church after it became solely concerned with making money.
She went on to say that she stopped going when the preachers started wearing nicer watches than she did.
A WhatsApp message from a Nigerian lecturer informing his project students of his resignation has gone viral on social media.
Dr. Oyedele, the lecturer, informed his students that he will not be available to review their project when ASUU calls off the strike because he has resigned from the university.
He went on to say that he had left the country in search of greener pastures, and that he had bid them farewell.
This follows the ongoing ASUU strike, which began in February 2022 and appears to have no end in sight. Despite numerous meetings between the union and federal government representatives, they have yet to reach a mutual agreement.
On Sunday, Antony scored on his Manchester United debut, as the Brazilian’s clinical strike and Marcus Rashford’s double inspired a 3-1 win that ended Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
Antony made his debut after joining United from United manager Erik ten Hag’s former club Ajax in an £82 million ($94 million) deal on Thursday. With flicks, tricks, and purposeful movement, the 22-year-old forward scored in just 35 minutes in a dazzling debut for his new fans at Old Trafford.
Arsenal equalized through Bukayo Saka, but Rashford stunned the leaders with two goals in nine second-half minutes after Antony was replaced by Cristiano Ronaldo. United were able to celebrate a fourth consecutive victory, moving them up to fifth place, thanks to Antony and Rashford.
Ten Hag’s first two games as manager were humiliating defeats against Brighton and Brentford.
Leading scorers in the English Premier League following the weekend’s matches:
10 goals: Haaland (Manchester City)
6 goals: Mitrovic (Fulham)
5 goals: Kane (Tottenham), Toney (Brentford)
4 goals: Mac Allister (Brighton), Rodrigo (Leeds), Zaha (Crystal Palace)
3 goals: Roberto Firmino (Liverpool), Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal), Luis Diaz (Liverpool), Pascal Grob (Brighton), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Martin Odegaard (Arsenal).
Brighton extended their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a 5-2 victory over bottom-placed Leicester, while leaders Arsenal prepared for the latest test of their unbeaten start against Manchester United later on Sunday.
Graham Potter’s fourth-placed side improved to four wins from six games with a second-half surge at the Amex Stadium.
Leicester took the lead in the first minute thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho, but Brighton took the lead thanks to a Luke Thomas own goal and Moises Caicedo’s strike.
Leicester’s Patson Daka equalized, but the struggling visitors crumbled after halftime as Leandro Trossard put Brighton ahead before Alexis Mac Allister’s double sealed the rout.
Leicester have only taken one point from their first six games, losing five in a row, putting manager Brendan Rodgers under intense pressure.
Rodgers admitted after Thursday’s defeat against Manchester United that the Foxes, who twice narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification under his leadership, are not the same club they were two years ago.
Rodgers, who led Leicester to their first FA Cup victory in 2021, has also publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the club’s owners’ lack of support in the transfer market, with Wout Faes the only outfield player signed since the end of last season. Mac Allister ended the game by converting a penalty in the 71st minute after Wilfred Ndidi fouled Trossard, then curling a free-kick past Danny Ward in the final seconds. Arsenal can make it six wins in a row at Old Trafford if Mikel Arteta’s team can maintain their hot start. United will be the first true test of Arsenal’s unexpectedly strong start.United manager Erik ten Hag was humbled to begin his reign with two consecutive losses. However, United have won three games in a row, beginning with an impressive victory over Liverpool and continuing with victories at Southampton and Leicester.
Antony will make his debut for United after signing the Brazilian forward from Ten Hag’s former club Ajax for £82 million this week.
Substitute Kai Havertz scored a late winner as Chelsea rallied from a goal down to defeat West Ham, who had a 90th-minute Maxwel Cornet equalizer ruled out.
The Hammers frustrated Chelsea in a first half that saw plenty of home possession but no shots on goal for either side, and Michail Antonio scored from a rare attack after 62 minutes, looking to have executed their gameplan perfectly.
After Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy failed to deal with a corner, the forward bundled in from close range, but the visitors’ lead was erased 14 minutes later.
Jordan Pickford’s stunning goalkeeping performance in an absorbing 0-0 draw with Everton at Goodison Park frustrated Liverpool. Tom Davies hit the crossbar for Everton in a game that swung from end to end, while Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz did the same for Liverpool.
The England goalkeeper made several excellent saves, while his opposite number Alisson had to be alert to prevent a home win in a Merseyside derby that could have been rife with goals.
In the first half, both teams rattled the goal frame, Everton through Tom Davies before Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz followed suit, and Mohamed Salah was also denied late on.
Everton thought they had taken the lead midway through the second half when former Liverpool academy player Conor Coady touched in Neal Maupay’s cross, only to be denied when a VAR check revealed he was inches offside.
Not forgetting that Conor Coady’s disallowed goal for Everton sparked ugly scenes during Saturday’s goalless Merseyside derby, which boiled over when a bottle thrown from the stands narrowly missed Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
A beer bottle appeared to be thrown from behind the managers’ technical areas, missing Klopp by a whisker. As if that wasn’t enough, an Everton supporter ran onto the pitch from the Gwladys Street End in an attempt to confront referee Anthony Taylor before being escorted away by stewards.
Those heinous incidents overshadowed a pulsating clash between these bitter rivals, which could have ended with goals aplenty if not for Everton keeper Jordan Pickford’s man of the match performance and some fine saves from Liverpool counterpart Alisson Becker.
Everton’s victory at Anfield in 2021 remains their only victory in the last 28 Merseyside derbies in all competitions. Frank Lampard’s team is now winless in their first six games of the season, while Liverpool’s momentum has been dampened after winning their previous two games.
Amaka Mbah, a recently evicted Big Brother Naija (Level Up) housemate, has stated that, contrary to what some of her fellow housemates have claimed, she is not insensitive.
Amaka Mbah
“I wasn’t being insensitive in the house,” she said in an interview with Saturday Beats. “I only acted on the basis of my conscience.”
When asked about the fights she had in the house, Amaka stated that she was simply being herself and was not looking for controversy. “It wasn’t easy being in the house,” she explained. I had fights (with other housemates) and was depressed. I had no idea what was going on outside, so it couldn’t have been a deliberate strategy on my part.”
Amaka expressed her dissatisfaction with Bryan, claiming that he was deliberately trying to provoke her. “I tried to manage the issue between me and Bryan,” she explained, “but I felt he was trying to get a reaction from me.” He kept making annoying noises and saying that I was emotionally unintelligent while I was explaining something to the housemates, which irritated me.” Amaka responded to Kess’s earlier statement that she was an insensitive person, saying, “From my own understanding, we are different people, and perhaps we misunderstood each other.” But I wasn’t being impolite. Everyone has an opinion, and if that is his opinion of me, I have no problem with it.”
The ex-BBN contestant also stated that she did not have any specific highlights during her time on the show because each day was different. “I didn’t have specific highlights in the house because there were drams every day,” she explained. For me, every day was memorable.”
Amaka claimed that she was dealing with a lot when it came to her perceived nonchalant attitude, especially during the tasks.
The hit song ‘Machala’ by Carter Efe and Berri Tiga has been removed from Apple Music and Spotify platforms worldwide.
Carter Efe and Berri Tiga’s song “Machala,” arguably one of the biggest in 2022, has been removed from Spotify and Apple Music in every country.
The trending song that peaked at number one on digital streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and others was published on July 28, 2022.
Although no official explanation has been provided for why the hit song is no longer available on Apple Music and Spotify, many people are still eager to hear it again. The hit song is still available to listen to on YouTube.
MY CONCLUSIONS:
Could it be that the two artists, Carter Efe and Berri Tiga, had a disagreement about song ownership and royalties, and one of them decided to file a complaint with Apple and Spotify? Simply thinking outside of the box.

Manchester United defeated Leicester City 1 – 0 in the Premier League on Thursday.
Man United make it three wins in a row as Jadon Sancho’s early strike seals a 1-0 win and moves Erik ten Hag’s team up to fifth in the table, while Brendan Rodgers’ side remains at the bottom.
Sancho had shown great poise in rounding Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward. After 23 minutes, Jadon Sancho’s smooth finish from Marcus Rashford’s pass maintained United’s recent revival and allowed them to build on victories over Liverpool and Southampton. United remained largely in control against an out-of-sorts Leicester, who are still looking for their first league win of the season and who, along with manager Brendan Rodgers, sensed the home fans’ impatience.
After the first-half break, Leicester seemed to need to respond, and James Maddison came close. However, United made late changes to close the game out, bringing in Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rt-Honourable Olakunle OLuomo, Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission apprehended Olakunle Oluomo, Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, at Muritala Muhammad Airport in Lagos State.
According to our source, Oluomo was arrested on allegations of financial crimes.
According to a staff member at the assembly who requested anonymity, the speaker was picked up this morning at Murtala Mohammed Airport in Ikeja, Lagos, by operatives acting on a tip. According to the source, Oluomo is being questioned further in the agency’s custody.
He was said to be on the commission’s wanted list after repeatedly failing to honor EFCC invitations.
He and others were accused of forging assembly signatures and financial documents.
An attempt to obtain confirmation from the EFCC was unsuccessful because the spokesperson for the Lagos zonal office, Ayo Oyewole, refused to answer the phone.
Chelsea has confirmed the signing of Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana on a seven-year contract.
The Blues have been heavily linked with the Frenchman for several weeks, despite the fact that his contract at the King Power Stadium does not expire until 2027. However, with Thomas Tuchel desperate to strengthen his defense, Chelsea’s co-owner and interim sporting director Todd Boehly is willing to support his head coach in the transfer market.
Although Leicester rejected several bids in the region of £60m and £70m for Fofana, it was widely assumed that the 21-year-old had his heart set on a move to Stamford Bridge. At a time when Fofana has been omitted from Brendan Rodgers’ first-team squad, reports emerged over the weekend that the parties involved had reached an agreement on a fee. With personal terms already agreed upon, a medical took place at the start of the week, allowing Chelsea to confirm the transfer on Wednesday afternoon. While no fee has been disclosed, The Telegraph’s John Percy reports that Leicester will receive £70 million plus add-ons.
Fofana told the club’s official website, “The last two days have been really big days for me, and I’m very happy.” I trained with the team this morning, which is a dream come true for me. I’m ecstatic to begin playing games for the fans and the club. “I’m here to win trophies, including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup. I came here to win, and the club is built to win trophies, so I’m here to keep that going.”
DEONTAY WILDER sent a message to Anthony Joshua’s team after a ‘big money offer’ was made. Deontay Wilder has slammed Anthony Joshua’s team after an offer to stage a fight between the two was made. The Bronze Bomber claims that “everything was done to avoid the fight,” but he is still willing to make it happen.
In a recent interview, Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed a “big money offer” he has in place for Deontay Wilder, but claimed that he had yet to hear back. “I actually reached out to Shelly Finkel the other day because I have so much money for Deontay Wilder in an offer, but they never come back to me, so I don’t know whether Deontay Wilder doesn’t want to hear about that offer or not,” he told Seconds Out.
Anthony Joshua
Years later, it is finally becoming apparent that the Joshua team wants to fight Wilder. We won’t be bulls***ing, so we’ll see if it occurs. Those guys always leave me with a nasty taste in my mouth, so I detest talking about them. Due to their greed, these promoters, managers, and other such individuals prevent major fights from taking place.
I’m here to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth because boxing is a business. In this gladiator sport, I have no incentive to lie, but some people choose not to trust me when I tell the truth.
Following his defeat to Oleksandr in his second bout, Joshua is anticipated to make a comeback in December.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Samuel Chukwueze is on his way to Everton on loan.
Chukwueze’s loan deal includes a €45 million permanent transfer option at the end of the season.
His transfer seemed unlikely until Tuesday, when Everton stepped up negotiations and agreed to a deal in principle with the winger.
Everton’s alternative was thought to be Denis Suarez, but with a €80 million clause, the Toffees were outbid.
Suarez, on the other hand, could move the other way to Villarreal to replace Chukwueze, who has previously been linked with Everton’s Premier League rivals, Liverpool.
If the deal goes through, Chukwueze will join the ranks of Super Eagles stars in the Premier League, alongside Alex Iwobi, who plays for Everton.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections has lambasted President Bola Tinubu over failure to pay salaries and gratuities of retirees.
Speaking in a post on his official X handle on Thursday, Obi urged the federal government to show sensitivity and compassion to the suffering masses by deploying resources to critical areas that will help to create jobs to alleviate the people’s hardships.
Obi, who lamented that critical economic players and their associated institutions were undergoing a serious dearth of funds, stressed that some of them were even protesting as they could not meet their banks’ and staff needs.
“Why are retired public servants, including service men and women who have risked their lives for the nation, still protesting over unpaid gratuities and pensions?
“It is shameful that those who built this nation with their sweat, those who defended it with their lives, and those who have fulfilled their contractual obligations are reduced to begging for what is rightfully theirs, even after the government boasts of excess revenue,” he wrote.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has admitted that he is losing sleep over the need to deliver projects in the capital city and surrounding satellite towns.
Wike disclosed that the Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu, and former FCT Senator, Philip Aduda, have been on his neck on the need to carry out developmental projects across the capital city and its satellite towns.
The minister spoke on Wednesday during the flag-off of the reconstruction and dualisation of Karu Road, from Karu Interchange to Customs Clinic Junction, and other Karu township roads.
Mocking the FCT Senator, Ireti Kingibe, Wike said getting the government to commit to developmental projects is not about “grammar” but relationship.
According to Wike: “When you have the opportunity to relate with your people, you relate with them well. It’s not grammar; grammar does not bring projects, it’s relationship with people.
“It’s not to say that I’m a senator and nobody is inviting me. What we are talking about is to bring something to the people, dividends of democracy.
“Senator Philip Aduda, who has been somebody of the people, so last night he came to me and said, ‘Sir, this is an opportunity. Now that you are doing this Karu dualisation, there are some other small roads, if you join them, it will open the whole of Karu.’ And so, because I know that he means well for his people and talks well about his people, I conceded to him.
“And so, the people of Karu, this is your turn and we will make sure you get the benefit that you are entitled to. We have added these other roads to the roads we are doing now.”
Wike promised that the FCT Administration will rebuild Customs Clinic Junction to CBN Quarter Junction, rebuild immediately Customs Clinic Junction to EFCC, rebuild NIA Quarters Road, rebuild Pasi Road, and also rebuild Primus Hospital Road.
The minister declared that the roads would boost business and economic activities around the Karu area.
He added: “Business opportunities will thrive here. We are not just doing these roads, they will have street lights, and I have ordered the contractor to complete them within 10 months.
“The essence of Renewed Hope Agenda is to bring back hope to the people. I will be coming here very often to inspect these projects because it’s one of the projects we have lined up that our people must enjoy during the third-year anniversary of Mr. President. Let Karu be the city that everybody will be talking about.”
Wike further charged residents to remember Maikalangu and Tinubu during elections following the execution of these projects.
“Now that the Renewed Hope Agenda and the government of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is fulfilling his promise, I hope that when the time comes we will also fulfill our own promise, no be so?
“I also hope that you will remember the man who does not allow me to sleep, Maikalangu. Remember him when the time comes,” he added.

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu will embark on a 10-day vacation in Europe.
This was announced in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
He said the President will spend the 10-working-day vacation between France and the United Kingdom, after which he will return to Nigeria.
Onanuga said, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja today, September 4, to commence a working vacation in Europe, as part of his 2025 annual leave.
“The vacation will last 10 working days.
“President Tinubu will spend the period between France and the UK and then return to the country.”
The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lashed out at former Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa.
This comes after Marafa claimed he delivered one million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 election.
The party described his comments as empty boasting.
In a statement issued in Gusau on Wednesday, APC chairman in the state, Alhaji Tukur Umar Danfulani, said Marafa had no record of electoral strength, stressing that President Tinubu’s votes in Zamfara came through the party’s structures and respected leaders, not individuals.
“The truth is that Marafa was voted out of the Senate by his own constituents in 2019, and he has yet to recover from that political defeat.
“Even during the 2023 polls, he made baseless claims that had no bearing on the outcome of the elections.
“Marafa could not even win his own constituency elections, talk less of securing one million votes for President Tinubu,” Danfulani said.
“Those votes came because of the people’s faith in our party and the leadership of figures like Bello Matawalle, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, and others who have carried our members along.”
He added that Marafa’s recent threats to withhold votes in 2027 were baseless, pointing out that the former senator had lost relevance in Zamfara politics.
“It is laughable that Marafa, who could not win even his ward or local government, now claims he has the power to reduce Tinubu’s votes,” Danfulani said.
“The truth is, he is a frustrated politician who failed to secure positions and now resorts to propaganda.”
The APC chairman maintained that the party remains strong and united in Zamfara, citing its recent victory in the Kaura Namoda South State Assembly bye-election as proof of continued grassroots support.
He urged members to disregard Marafa’s statements, insisting that the APC’s strength lies in its collective leadership and the confidence of the electorate.
“His unguarded utterances are just out of frustration of losing election and his inability to secure appointments in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration. Ordinarily, if not because he touched the President in his uncivilised manner, we would not have responded to a lower and rejected politician like him.”

The warning came in a statement issued at the end of the 12th meeting of the North-East Governors’ Forum held on Saturday in Jalingo, Taraba State.
Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, said credible climate forecasts signalled that the subregion could face heavy flooding in the coming months.

The Dangote Group has claimed its trucks were not involved in two fatal traffic accidents that occurred on Wednesday in Enugu State.
The group made the statement in a statement released Thursday by a spokesperson for the Dangote Group, Anthony Chijiena.
The firm clarified that the trucks involved in the two separate crashes did not belong to the company and were not operated by any of its subsidiaries.

The police command confirmed that the vehicles were owned by two logistics firms, Visco Investment Global and Global Investment, with ten persons dead.
Reacting, Dangote stated, “We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the victims of these tragic incidents and their families.”
The company also expressed concern over the “increasing spread of misinformation falsely attributing such incidents to the Dangote Group without substantiated evidence.”
It further urged both the public and media outlets to verify claims before dissemination and emphasised its commitment to road safety.
Dangote Group noted that it has “repeatedly cautioned truckers to desist from using its logo on their vehicles.”
The firm vowed to implement stricter monitoring and pursue legal action against those who use its brand identity without authorisation.
