I Fell Into Depression Over Lies About My Age – Yemi Alade Opens Up

Yemi Alade, the Nigerian Afrobeats singer, has revealed that lying about her age once drove her into depression.

The singer, in an interview with Media Personality Chude Jideonwo, said she had been telling people she was 22 for three years.

The ‘Knack Am’ crooner said she fell into depression when she realised she was 25 years old because her mind could not take the reality of her age.

According to Yemi Alade, she faced mental challenges for three years due to not knowing her actual age.

She said, “There was a time someone asked me my age, and I kept saying for three years I was 22. Then I realised I was 25 years old.

“I took out my phone and I did the mathematics. I was depressed for a few days. My mind wasn’t taken into process.

“It was mental, for three years I didn’t know my right age.”

Yahoo Boys Have Killed Romance in Nigeria – Erigga

Nigerian rapper, Erigga has called out internet fraudsters, otherwise known as Yahoo boys.
He alleged that fraudsters have contributed significantly to the transactional nature of relationship in the Nigerian society nowadays.
He stated this while speaking in an interview with Yanga FM Lagos.
The rapper explained that Yahoo boys’ extravagant speeding on women has made it difficult for other men, who can’t afford speeding extravagantly, to maintain a healthy relationship with women who are already used to the standard set by the fraudsters.
“Yahoo boys don kill romance. [Genuine] romance no longer exists. When last did you see two lovers holding hands together in the street? It has been long we saw such. The problem now, is that we are raising weak men who feel their entire value is in their pockets,” he expressed.
“Nowadays, relationship is expensive. It used to be meat pie, Mr Biggs Fanta, very affordable back then. And the women were very appreciative. But men also share in the blame, weak men are the ones who set the standards -women took and raised the bars.”
He urged men to explore ways of offering more in relationships other than just money. The music star added that emotional intelligence and other personal skills could spark genuine interest in women than flaunting money.

I’ve Never Fired Any Of My Worker In 10 Years – Yinka Ayefele

Popular musician and broadcaster, Yinka Ayefele has made a revelation.
According to him, he has never dismissed any of his employees since establishing Fresh 105.9 FM ten years ago.
Ayefele made this known on Wednesday during a press conference to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Fresh FM.
The music star, who owns the radio station, recounted how his journey to success began after a life-changing accident in 1997.
“I worked at Radio Nigeria, Ibadan, producing jingles. I used the money I earned to buy a Beetle car, and on my way to Abeokuta in 1997, I had a terrible accident. That incident changed my life completely,” he said.
He explained that Fresh FM started as a live-streaming project on Facebook, which became popular among fans abroad before evolving into a licensed radio station.
 
“I started live streaming on Facebook, and my fans outside Nigeria loved it. That gave me the idea to start a radio station to change the face of broadcasting,” Ayefele said.
The broadcaster also recalled how security agents once invaded his office demanding to see his broadcast licence.
 
“It took me seven years to get the licence. If other radio station owners were investigated like I was, many wouldn’t exist today,” he stated.
Speaking about his management approach, Ayefele said:
“I have never sacked anyone in the last 10 years. The only time I did something close was advising one person to resign.”
He also reflected on the 2018 incident when the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi ordered the demolition of his Music House.
 
“The demolition brought global attention. BBC and CNN called me. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Ajimobi later rebuilt the station,” he recalled.
Ayefele added that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife supported him in obtaining the station’s broadcast licence.

Why Nigerian Musicians Charge High Fees For Performance – Bella Shmurda

Singer, Bella Shmurda, has revealed why Nigerian artistes charge high fees for performances.
According to him, the reason is because of the high fees musicians spend on expenditures.
Speaking in a recent interview with Naija FM Lagos, Bella Shmurda explained that musicians pay a lot of people who work with them behind the scene from their performance fees.
He also cited high cost of music production and promotion as well as expensive lifestyles as parts of the reasons.
 
“Speaking from the perspectives of an artiste, making music is expensive. I don’t repeat clothes because I’m a public figure. I spent $100,000 to pay producers, songwriters and engineers that worked on my album. That’s over N100 million. Not to mention music videos and promotion costs. That’s a lot.
 
“So, I go for a show, I would charge what would equate my investments. Even if I don’t make profit, I should a least be able to recover the cost of production. So, we are not overcharging. If you look at it from our own perspective, you will agree that we are not overcharging,” he explained.

I Haven’t Had S£x In Over 3 Years – Khloe Kardashian

Reality star, Khloe Kardashian has revealed that she has not had s3x in over three years.
She stated this while opening up about her s3x life during the season 7 premiere of The Kardashians.
the mom-of-two gave a candid response when she learned about Julia Fox’s celibacy.
Simon Huck, who created Lemme with Khloé’s sister Kourtney, was telling Khloé about the brand’s upcoming campaign with Fox, who “has not had s£x in four years,” he said. “This gummy is all about self-pleasure, too. So it’s not just about partner pleasure.” 
“I haven’t had s£x in over three years,” Khloé, 40, then confessed, to which Huck replied,“This gummy is perfect for you.” 
He couldn’t hide his shock at her confession, though, as he pressed for details.”You’re really not dating anyone, Khlo? There’s no one on your roster?” 
“Nope,” she said, and then he asked if there was anyone she’s “DMing,” which she also denied.
 
“No. Not anyone I’m texting. I don’t have any person’s phone number,” Khloe said.
Khloe’s best friend Malika Haqq noted that Huck was in “disbelief” at the revelation, especially when Khloé said, “I don’t even have nud£s.” 
In a confessional, producers asked Kourtney, 46, what she thought about Khloé opting to stay single.
“I think while you have young kids, if there’s no one worth your time, focus on your kids,” Kourtney said, approving of her sister’s decision.
Kim, on the other hand, tried to get Khloé out there, producers noted, to which Kourtney said, “No, f** that.” 
Khloé has been open about her desire to stay single while her kids — daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 3, who she shares with ex Tristan Thompson — are young.
“My kids are…my top priority,” she said during a January episode of her podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land. “And I don’t care about dating. I don’t know what will happen in a couple years or next year, I don’t know, but I’m not dating. I don’t care to.” 
“My focus is on just my kids,” she continued. “To me, I think it’s the smartest thing.” 
She and Thompson dated on and off from 2016 to 2021, and, prior to that, she was married to Lamar Odom from 2009 to 2016. The Good American founder has not been linked to anyone romantically since her split from Thompson.

I Take Bold Decisions, Heaven Won’t Fall – Wike Declares

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, on Thursday declared that he has the “political will” to take bold decisions as a leader.

Wike recalled taking a decision against the Nigeria Police Force, saying heaven did “not fall”.

Recounting how he stopped the police from constructing some buildings under high tension cable in Abuja, Wike said “heaven has been at rest” since he took the decision.

Wike spoke while delivering his keynote address at the 2025 Innovate Africa Conference in Abuja.

Speaking on the theme, ‘Reimagining Africa’s leadership and Investment’, Wike said it’s difficult for leaders to take very difficult decisions.

He said: “I have been confronted with leadership, when a leader cannot take decisions at challenging times, then that should not be leadership.

“But leadership has been provided by taking a decision and that made this money to be available from the federal to the states. What the states do with that money is not a concern of those that leadership is given to.

“For me, giving me the responsibility as the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, I have that political will without any apologies to anybody to make sure that Abuja competes with other cities of the world.

“I have taken the decision that so many people thought why would he do this? Can he stand this?

“Three days ago, I was informed that the police was constructing houses under the high tension and the Development Control went there to say you cannot do this.

“I will go there by myself and I will not allow it to happen and I went there and I saw the high tension and I said look, ‘we must say that under my leadership this will not be allowed.’

“And I told the Development Control, bring down the buildings, heaven will not fall, heaven will be at rest. And as I speak to you, heaven is at rest. That is leadership. It does not matter who is involved. It is leadership.

“People come to us, you know that things are wrong, what you are doing is wrong. It has nothing to do with the political party you belong to.”
