Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin, has gifted a royal plaque to afrobeats megastar, Rema.
The Oba presented the plaque to Rema on Thursday when the singer paid him a visit at his palace ahead of his homecoming concert at the Ogbe Stadium in Benin City.
Earlier, Rema joined the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Wednesday, for the groundbreaking ceremony of Edo Arena.
The governor announced that the 6,000-capacity arena would be called Rema Dome in honour of the singer.
Rema, born Divine Ikubor, is from Benin City and has been a proud ambassador of Edo State, promoting the state and legacy of the ancient Benin empire in his music and concerts.
His latest hit song, ‘Benin Boys,’ which featured fellow Edo-born star, Shallipopi, is a tribute to the city of Benin.
In the song, Rema mentioned that he deserved a medal from the Oba for promoting the kingdom.
On one of the numerous quests of how human beings can have a great and lovely day, keen observation and critical analysis have revealed that there are two top secrets to human beings having a great day, daily. These two ways are explicitly explained below;
1. GET COOKED ON TWITTER
Getting cooked or dragged is a prevalent catchphrase used to describe the instance where someone is getting mocked or insulted.
Sounds interesting, right? There is more tea.
Whenever you see a tweet with few or no likes and more quotes and comment section responses then the person is getting cooked. The comment section of such tweet is usually filled with memes and slangs such as “cook that thing” “I’m sat” “na here e dey happen” etc.
Getting cooked or dragged on Twitter is no new thing, it is in fact a common phenomenon nowadays. The process simply involves a crowd of social media i.e. Twitter users gathering to counter the opinion (dropped in the form of a tweet) of another user but in brutal ways that are high-handed use of insulting words or counter phrases. While many are used to being dragged, some are not. Dragging can be a source of emotional hullabaloo for someone being dragged for the first time. These dragging scenarios do not just occur, they happen when you least expect as Twitter is too slippery a platform when some topics, especially the sensitive ones are up for discussion.
Or ceremonially put, the app might not be in your favor on a day you tweet your most random thoughts, thinking you’re tweeting without a care for traction then suddenly, your tweets crosses seas and oceans to Lucifer’s abode, and people from several timelines away start quoting your “it shouldn’t be this deep” tweet hence, activating you being dragged.
Some of the scenarios that can land you in dragging on Twitter;
I.Tweeting your opinion on controversial topics.
If you want to have a memorable day worthy of putting in your records, just tweet an opinion to counter or an insensitive take on sensitive topics that has to do with religion, feminism, patriarchy, or any trending topic at the moment then release the wheel and watch Twitter users take the wheel of dragging you in through a silver coloured mud.
A man has no business in the labour room.
Its her journey, she should do it alone.
Moreover, you may not find your wife attractive after watching her body eject a baby.
It could scar or traumatize you.

An insensitive take on a sensitive topic
Better still, tweet a random opinion whether well constructed or not and pray it reaches the part of twitter that remoulds and Interpretes tweets. Relax and watch them twist and give your it an astounding interpretation that will blow your mind and get you dragged like an “I better pass my neighbor” generator.
Then sit tight, pour yourself a glass of wine, juice or anything chill, and cheers to a great day.

American actor and wrestler, John Cena has opened up on his biggest fear in life.
According to him, his biggest fear is that he would never be ready to be a “great parent.”
The 47-year-old, who has been married twice without kids, explained that he would never be ready to invest the time needed to be a great parent.
“My biggest fear is I don’t think I’m personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time it takes to be a great parent,” Cena said in a recent interview with Club Shay Shay.
“Because I still have a lot to do and I still want to do a lot. I have a wonderful partner, we’ve had open conversations about this. We share the same values.
“It’s a tough subject to talk about because it immediately puts you in a category. People tend to judge. Human nature, we are all judgmental. But I operate under the construct that everyone is okay living their lives.
“I’m very happy with where I stand. I’ve a lot of joy and fulfilment in my life.”
John Cena got married to Elizabeth Huberdeau on July 11, 2009. On May 1, 2012, Cena filed for divorce, which was finalized on July 18.
On October 12, 2020, Cena married girlfriend, Shay Shariatzadeh, whom he had been dating since early 2019, in a private ceremony in Tampa, Florida.
Chelsea are not prepared to offer contracts exceeding £70,000 per week to new players.
According to Sky Sports transfer chief, Kaveh Solhekol, the club is not interested in signing players who demand £200,000-a-week or £300,000-a-week contracts.
With Enzo Maresca looking to add a striker to his squad, Chelsea have been linked with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney of Brentford.
But it now appears the deal for Toney would be easier to do, as Osimhen is reluctant to take a pay cut.
According to Solhekol,“the average wage of their new signing is between £60,000-a-week and £70,000-a-week.
“That is the base wage before you add in bonuses.
“I think there is a feeling that Ivan Toney is willing to fit into that wage structure. Also, he’s coming from a club like Brentford who are not famed for paying massive wages.”
