She wrote: “After four decades on this earth, I have made a conscious, unwavering choice: peace over disgrace. I walk in perfect rhythm with **El-Roi-the God who sees me**the One who fights my battles in silence and secures my victories in full view. Truth needs no defense; in His time, it shall be revealed, not by my hand, but by His divine orchestration. I do not wrestle with mortals. My legacy is already speaking, and my seed shall echo my strength long after I am gone. To those awaiting my fall into chaos, you clearly do not know WHO I AM….NOR WHOSE I AM.. You do not know the joy I carry, a joy that is divine, untouchable, and irrevocable.

“No man born of a woman can strip me of it. I stand rooted, healed, and dangerously in love with myself. In this sacred space of self-love, I am both my sanctuary and my fire. ##excuse me to say FUCK THE DEVIL #ADAELROI She who is seen, shielded, and unstoppable.”

A Week of Fights, Flops, and Fake Nominations Breakdown of the Chaos That Rocked the BBNaija 10/10 House This Week

The Big Brother Naija Season 10 “10/10 House” has already proven to be an explosive season, with a week full of drama, tears, and failed teamwork. From the very beginning, the housemates failed to find their footing as a team, leading to several clashes and a major flop during their first Wager Task.

The drama started with a dispute between Koyin and Kaybobo over noodles, with Koyin ending up in tears. This was followed by Kaybobo being accused of being a “bully” by Mensan, which led to a heated confrontation. Tensions continued to simmer in the kitchen with what has been dubbed “MeatGate,” a fight between Otega and Denari over grilled chicken. Leadership also proved to be a source of conflict, with Head of House Jason Jae getting into a shouting match with Rooboy, who felt Jason wasn’t leading effectively.

In an interesting turn of events, some housemates started to explore romantic connections. Jason Jae was seen sharing a heartfelt hug with Sultana, while Gigi Jasmine confided in Victory. The first Saturday night party also brought some action, with Kayikunmi and Isabella sharing a steamy makeout session. However, not all connections were successful, as Imisi’s attempt to kiss Faith was gracefully rejected.

Despite all the drama, the biggest shock of the week was the housemates’ complete failure to win their first Wager Task. The performance was a mess, and Biggie’s disappointment was clear. This loss means a week of limited food supplies and heightened tensions, setting the stage for more drama to come. The week ended with the housemates on edge, as host Ebuka revealed a major twist.

“Fame or not, I’d still make music” — Davido

Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that he would still chase a music career even if he weren’t famous, emphasising the depth of his passion for the craft.

In a recent interview with Okay Africa, the award-winning singer reflected on the driving force behind his artistry.

Davido noted that beyond the glitz and fame, it is his love for music that keeps him grounded and motivated to create, innovate, and connect with fans globally. He also spoke about the priceless connection he shares with his supporters, which he said is one of the most meaningful aspects of his journey.

“I hope I still have the same passion, I’d probably try again…but it depends on my age,” he said.

He added, “One flex I have is that money didn’t buy is natural love from my fans. You can’t buy that type of love. I’ve had fans come from far away, and concerts range from new fans to the old fans; my catalogue is huge.”

Looking back on his career, Davido shared advice he would give to his younger self: “It’s going to be a long journey, many ups and downs, smiles and frowns, but you’d get there.”

He also noted that when he started, his dreams were nowhere near as big as what he has achieved today. “That’s how God works,” he said.

The alarming statistics were revealed by Dr. Amos Dangut, WAEC’s Head of National Office, during a press briefing on Monday.

He also confirmed that the results of 192,089 candidates (9.75%) have been withheld due to various cases of examination malpractice, including unauthorised use of mobile phones and organised cheating in some schools.

“All cases are being investigated and reports will be presented to the appropriate Committee of the Council for consideration and final decisions, Dr. Dangut said. “Affected candidates will be communicated through their various schools; and Candidates can now call for redress of their malpractice cases if they so wish.”

WAEC reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on exam malpractice.

“No government, not even in 20 years, can solve all problems” – Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said that it is unrealistic to expect any government, including the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration, to solve every problem facing the nation’s capital.

Wike made the remark on Monday during a media parley in Abuja, where he addressed questions on ongoing development efforts and concerns about uncommissioned projects in the FCT.

“I will not say here that every problem has been solved,” Wike said. All problems cannot be solved, even if this government stays for 20 years; no government can solve all problems.

He, however, stressed that while not all issues can be tackled at once, the administration is making deliberate efforts to improve the standard of living for residents.

“But government is solving problems that at least will help to improve the lives of people,” he added.

Wike also addressed criticisms regarding the absence of formal commissioning for several ongoing projects.

According to him, only capital-intensive projects with significant financial investments are highlighted through formal ceremonies.

“It’s not realistic to commission every single project,” he said. “We take what we think are major, capital-intensive projects, ones where billions of naira have been spent, and showcase those. But for smaller projects, do we really need to commission everything?”

He encouraged journalists to partner with the government by joining Mandate Secretaries on site visits to witness first-hand the progress being made in key sectors, including education and social services.

“We’re not claiming perfection,” Wike said. “But we’re doing what will at least make a difference in the lives of the people, and that’s the whole point of governance.

Burna Boy Nigeria’s biggest artist, says Clarence Peters

Music video director Clarence Peters has crowned Burna Boy the biggest Nigerian artist.

In a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Peters attributes Burna Boy’s success to his passion for performing on stage and his understanding of what it takes to excel in the entertainment industry.

Peters noted that Burna Boy’s ability to surround himself with technically sound professionals has been key to his success.

According to him, the combination of his charisma and stage presence, has cemented his position as a leading figure in the Nigerian music scene.

Peters stated that having star power is essential for artists to succeed in the entertainment industry, drawing comparison between the music and film industries, noting that while talent is important, it’s the personality and charisma of an artist that sets them apart and makes them a star.

He said: “The performances on stage, how you’re able to hold your brand. Look, Burna Boy is the biggest Nigerian artist, hands down, because Burna Boy loves being on stage, but also understands what he needs to be on stage. He’s become technically sound because he’s been garnished with people who are technically sound, because that’s important to him.

“There’s a difference between an amazing actor and a star. The truth is, if you’re looking for amazing performances, go to the theater, go to stage. That’s not what you’re supposed to see.

“That’s not, I mean, you would get good performances, but the personality and the charisma of the actor the star power of the actor is what you go to the cinema to go see on your streaming services. So America has an issue with that. The almighty America has an issue with that too. There’s not a lot of stars. So Netflix is having it here and there because they’re not a lot of stars”.
