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.

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.
In 2022, Asake redefined what it means to be a breakout artist. He conquered cross-cultural fusion like no one else, to the point of putting other music heavyweights on notice.
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.

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.

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.

“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!”
