You’ll Lose If You Hate Wizkid – Odumodublvck Tells Colleagues

Odumodublvck, the popular Nigerian rapper, has warned Nigerian artistes against “hating” Grammy-winning singer, Wizkid.

Speaking in a recent interview with content creator, Elsie in Toronto, Canada, the ‘Wotowoto Seasoning’ crooner said hating Wizkid is self-sabotage.

He said personally, he wouldn’t be offended if he featured Wizkid on his album and he didn’t post it on social media.

“There some artists that when you release music with them, they look as if they are doing you a favour.

“I’ve never released music and asked the artist that I featured to post it. I don’t care if you promote it. You’ve done the most important thing by giving me a verse,” he said.

“If Wizkid gives me a verse and my album comes and he doesn’t post about it, I will not be angry. If you start hating on Wizkid Machala, you lose.”

Super Eagles Star, Ola Aina Reveals Reasons For Wearing Sagging Shorts

Ola Aina, the Nigerian international and Nottingham Forest defender, has opened up about his habit of sagging his shorts during football games.

Aina, known for his strong presence on the pitch, has often been seen with his shorts sitting lower than usual, a style that has sparked curiosity among fans.

Sagging of shorts in Nigeria often refers to the practice of wearing shorts or trousers below the waistline, often revealing a part of the u

nderwear or, in Aina’s case, sitting loosely around the hips.

While many might assume it’s a fashion statement, Aina revealed that his reasons are far more practical.

“Yeah, that’s, from young I’ve always been doing that. And it’s not for fashion or anything, there’s a reason towards that,” Aina said in an interview with Fanstribe released on Wednesday.

“You see this man?” he added, pointing at his thighs, “The size? And the one behind,” he continued, gesturing towards his buttocks, “It’s too big, so the shorts, it always goes up, you know, and it’s too uncomfortable.”

Aina went on to clarify that he chooses larger shorts to avoid the discomfort.

“So that’s why it’s always loose, so I take bigger shorts, you know, and this is why,” he said laughing

“Exactly, now you guys just leave me now,”
he added.

The Real Distraction Is Not DNA, Its Sam Larry, Naira Marley – VeryDarkMan Revisits Mohbad’s Case

Vincent Otse, the popular Nigerian social media critic, who is also known as VeryDarkMan, has revisited the circumstances surrounding the death of the late singer Ileriouluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad.

Recall that Mohbad died on September 12 2023 under questionable circumstances and was buried the following day.

Since his passing, numerous efforts by his family, authorities, and other stakeholders to uncover the truth about his death have been unsuccessful.

In a recent reevaluation of the case, VDM released a new video asserting that justice for Mohbad remains out of reach.

VDM had earlier demanded a DNA test to be conducted, alleging Mohad’s wife Wunmi has knowledge in circumstances surrounding her husband’s death.

However, in a u-turn, he now claimed that the late singer’s former employer, Naira Marley, and his associate, Sam Larry, have knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death but have not acted accordingly.

He said, “Mohbad did not get justice at the end of the day, the truth is that the main distraction was not DNA, the distraction was Naira Marley and Sam Larry.

“They themselves knows what happened to the boy, I’m telling you the truth, all of them know. Up till now nobody has brought proof that Sam Larry or Naira Marley killed the boy, they know themselves, they know what happened that day.

“But they covered it up, they were trying to settle scores on whatever Naira Marley or Sam Larry did to them.”

VDM also pointed out that while Mohbad suffered various forms of mistreatment from them, only one incident was captured in a “cropped” video that circulated online.

Why I Prefer Traditional Worship to Christianity, Islam — Wole Soyinka

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has opened up that he prefers traditional Orisa worshipping to Christianity and Islam.
According to him, the deepness of faith in Islam and Christianity doesn’t match that of Orisa worshipping for him, adding that Orisa fascinated him a lot more.
Soyinka added that Orisa worshipping is one of the African religions that eschews violence and is more creative.
“I was fortunate to be born in two worlds – the Christian world and traditional Orisa worshippers. My grandfather, until he – poor man – also got converted – he was an Orisa person and a chief, and his (grandfather’s) side (of Orisa) fascinated me a lot more,” the playwright told CNN’s Larry Madowo, during an interview.
He added, “For me, it (Orisa worshipping) was more artistic, creative, and also more mysterious. I don’t find much of the mysterious in Christianity and even less in Islam and that is for a simple reason that I didn’t grow up in a Muslim environment.
 
“Orisa is open, and very ecumenical and that is why these foreign religions were able to penetrate it and even distort the truth. Because of the generosity of this spirit (Orisa), it is not violent. It is one of those African religions which eschew violence.
 
“I don’t believe in the Islamic or Christian God and for the adherents of these religions if that makes me an atheist, so I say, I am an atheist. I insisted that all human beings have a certain spiritual core in their being, I believe myself to be a more spirit-sensitive person.”
 
The literary icon also revealed that he said he doesn’t like to watch anything adapted from his life or works.
 
“Let me put it this way, turning anything in my life into what other people can watch pains me. It makes me extremely uncomfortable. It’s wrong to say it’s terrific, let me just say I’m detached from it.
 
“It takes me a while to bring myself to watch me.”

I Don’t Believe Wizkid And Davido’s Beef Is Real – Ladipoe

Nigerian rapper, Oladipoe has stated that he doesn’t believe that the beef between Wizkid and Davido is real.
He stated this during an interviw with with City 105.1FM.
According to him, they could be using the beef as a strategy to promote something.
The rapper stated that he has seen it before and stated that it could be same thing playing out again.
In Ladipoe’s words:
“Honest truth, honestly, I have no idea. And why I say so is because this is not the first time that there has been something like this between these two juggernaut artistes y’know. So, who is to say? And I’m not personally close to either of them to be able to look behind the veil. I’ve been somebody that has gotten to admire them from afar. I’ve definitely shaken Wizkid’s hand a couple of times. I’ve shaken David’s hand a couple of times. And in both ways, I respect them.
 
You know what I feel? I fall in the fanbase that feels that they are just too savvy and business minded to not one day say “pull up, Davido and Wizkid concert or Wizkid and Davido concert”. I just feel like una dey whine me. That’s my own personal feeling: una dey whine me. They are too big to not see the business opportunity in front of them. So, that’s my take. But whether it’s real or not, who is to say?
Beef for promoting stuff is an old tactic. It’s effective. I don’t love it personally, but it’s tried and tested, and it works. It’s not my preferred strategy, but it works.”
