Naira Marley tells his side of story

Famous singer, Naira Marley finally opens up on Mohbad’s demise, as he recounts his side of things.

The Marlian Music executive revealed that at the time of Mohbad’s demise, he was out of the country, and it came as a shock to him when news of his death made headlines.

He remarked that he was saddened when people began to spin out different narratives about his death, despite the fact that he had no hand in it.

Naira Marley said …

“Someone among us said, Mohbad dead. I looked at him, I said, it’s a lie man, he wants to blow again. Exactly what I said, it’s a lie. I said it’s a lie, he wants to blow again. I didn’t even bother. Zeno looked at me straight away. I said, ah, … Like, people should know what they will be saying, you know. I’m like, ah, come on, man, people know we’re not in Nigeria, obviously. Oh, I just said people know we’re not in Nigeria. I went on Instagram. I can see InstaBlog saying Mohbad died of air infection. Okay, I’m like, air infection? All of us saying, was he dead? I’m like, they’re lying, man. Air infection, lying. How can you die of air infection? I’m still saying that. Twitter, boom, boom, boom. Nagamali, finally you’ve killed him. What? Is it a joke? Is it dead for you? But immediately I’m saying they started posting videos from the NDLEA incident. They started posting videos from the fight he had with, on the 4th of October 2022, he had with his manager. They started posting videos from there. Why? I don’t understand. Is that what killed him? You said he died on the… 12th of September, 2023.

You’re posting videos. So I know, I can see already that there’s someone paying the blogs to try changing the narrative from Haley. I’m like, what’s happening here? And the public, really, they’re falling for it. I wasn’t in the country. I can show you my passport stamp. And when I go back to Nigeria, everything, someone even saw us. After we, let me not jump the story. So, it’s still in the restaurant, they’re blaming me, everything. You know, jump in the car, let’s go away. We’re going to Amsterdam because I was planning to shoot the video. But now we can’t even shoot the video, but we still need to go. So we drove, went to Amsterdam.

Can’t even have fun anymore, can’t even shoot the video. Just chilling. Not even chilling, just… I was upset and sad. We didn’t even have time to mourn because of people blaming us for what we didn’t do. So I didn’t really get time to mourn him. Sometimes I tried to… Even when I mourned him, there was a message saying I killed him. I didn’t even get… I was sad. I was trying to mourn him. I didn’t get to mourn him properly. Um… Yeah, the person hold videos to try make you look like. But if we’re in a working country, they’re going to arrest everybody that was in the house with him. In the last 24 hours, 48 hours. They have no reason to arrest me, mate. Mate, I don’t understand. I was not in the country, I was out of the country.

You can see with the stamps, you can see with the videos, I have videos. I have lots of things, but that was it from then, it got serious. Samlari video came up, that video came up, that video Samlari and my body, my body. My first time seeing that video was when we all saw the video. I’m like, what the hell was this? But I wasn’t fast to judge like everybody.

I knew that video was not on that day because Samlagi was not in Nigeria too. Sam Larry traveled out of Nigeria. He was in Dubai, Kenya, Paris country. That’s what made me ask questions. Normally I was really angry like, ah, what? That’s what made me ask questions like, ah, Samlari, what’s up? He said nothing happened. He just saw him. He was explaining something. He said he saw him. Someone told him he was there. He went there. I don’t want to speak for him, but I’m just saying. He said he went there. And he saw him, he said he wants to collect his money. He said he tapped the chair. But I didn’t touch him. I looked at the video again. He didn’t touch him for real. But I can already see they’re posting my videos. So I’m thinking, why are they posting this video now? Did he die there? I mean, what? That’s not what killed him. So I have to ask questions. I’m like, okay, what happened?”

Why I Didn’t Go to University — Femi Otedola

Nigerian billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola has opened up that he didn’t attend a university.
He confessed that his lack of flair for academics is the reason he did not attend university.
Otedola, who is the chairman of First Bank Holding, disclosed this in his 286-page memoir released on Monday.
He said he stopped school after the Lower Sixth examination and did not return for the Upper Sixth.
According to Otedola, at that time, all he wanted was to be involved in his father’s printing press.
“My parents enrolled me at the University of Lagos Staff School in 1968, at the age of six.
 
“But there was something about academia and me; we were not compatible. I finished primary school in 1974 because I repeated a class. Even when I was allowed to pass, I consistently anchored the bottom rungs of our end-of-term examination results. My interests were definitely not in academia.
 
“I started Form 1 at age 12 and was there for three years.”
 
“I started in Form 3 at Olivet, and as I rounded off the first year of my A Levels, my father was establishing his printing company, Impact Press, in Surulere, a residential and commercial district in Lagos State. I grew fascinated with the machines and told myself that my future would be inextricably tied to them. I managed to remain in school until the Lower Sixth examination was over. And then, I was finished; I never returned for my Upper Sixth. “All I wanted to do was get involved in business. “My father kept watch over me and drew me close,” he said in the book.

‘So Good’ – Palmer hails two Chelsea new signings

Cole Palmer has praised Chelsea’s summer signings, singling out Joao Pedro and Liam Delap as standout additions while insisting the Blues “should be winning trophies” this season under Enzo Maresca.

After a turbulent spell midway through last campaign, Maresca guided Chelsea to Champions League qualification, a Conference League triumph over Real Betis, and Club World Cup glory against Europe’s elite Paris Saint-Germain.

Those successes, Palmer believes, have raised expectations at Stamford Bridge.

“The way the club’s going, the direction, everyone’s excited. We should be winning trophies.”

Among the £250m worth of arrivals, Palmer says he has already developed strong chemistry with Pedro, who joined from Brighton in a £60m deal.

“He’s so good, man. I love playing with him,” Palmer said. “Even in training we just have good chemistry and know where each other are going to be. To see it in person was really good.”

Palmer also backed Delap, signed from Ipswich Town for £30m, to offer Chelsea a different attacking option.

“He’s something different… more old-school, aggressive, runs in behind. He’s a handful for defenders and one of the best finishers I’ve seen,” Palmer said. “Hopefully those two together score some goals between them.”

Chelsea, who opened their Premier League campaign with a goalless draw against Crystal Palace, face West Ham and Fulham in back-to-back London derbies later this month.

Ancelotti leaves out Vinicius from Brazil World Cup qualifiers squad

Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has left Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior out of his squad for next month’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia.

The 25-year-old is suspended for the clash with Chile on September 5, and Ancelotti has decided not to include him for the Bolivia game five days later.

He prefers that the winger remains in Madrid to rest and recover ahead of a demanding club and international schedule.

The Selecão currently sit third in the CONMEBOL standings, behind leaders Argentina and second-placed Ecuador.

Brazil edged Paraguay 1-0 in June and will be hoping to build on that result, with victory over Chile seen as crucial to strengthening their chances of securing a place at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

Man City end pursuit of €100m Real Madrid star Rodrygo

Manchester City have reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes, insist on keeping Savinho.

Pep Guardiola’s side had identified the 23-year-old as a potential replacement for Savinho, who was attracting strong interest from Tottenham.

However, Spurs’ reluctance to meet City’s valuation for Savinho has forced the Premier League champions to shut the door on his departure, and in turn, on Rodrygo’s possible arrival.

But with the winger now staying at the Etihad, Rodrygo’s prospects of joining City have collapsed.

Liverpool and Arsenal remain the other major contenders for the Madrid star, though both have conditions attached to a move.

Liverpool are monitoring Rodrygo as a fallback option should their pursuit of Alexander Isak fail, while Arsenal’s interest hinges on whether they can offload players and conclude a deal for Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.

Rodrygo, who has been central to Real Madrid’s attack in recent seasons, may now be forced to weigh his options, especially after Madrid boss, Xabi Alonso waved off his transfer “noise”.
