We Only Displayed Our Begging Skills — Kunle Remi Ranks Nigeria ‘Worst’ On Ishowspeed’s African Tour

Nollywood actor Kunle Remi has shared his perspective on how Lagos State is being portrayed during American streamer IShowSpeed’s ongoing tour of Africa.

The Streamer landed in Lagos last Wednesday as part of ‘Speed Does Africa’, a 28-day livestream tour across the African continent, which kicked off on December 29, 2025.

The project saw him visit several African countries, spotlighting the continent’s culture, people and landscapes for his global audience, with Nigeria being the 15th stop.

Airing his thoughts about Speed’s Nigerian visit on his Instagram story, Kunle described it as the “worst” destination on his personal list after watching the streamer’s journey across the continent so far.

He said Lagos was “stripped naked” during the visit, arguing that what was presented lacked depth, authenticity and the “essence” of the Nigerian’s culture.

Kunle also argued that the experience showcased to a global audience is that Nigeria only leaned heavily on nightlife and superficial attractions.

“After watching IShowSpeed’s journey so far, Nigeria is the worst on my own list. We just really stripped Lagos naked. No be say anything dey under the clothes before sha,”he wrote.

“Seems like we have lost the essence of culture. our truth! All we have is fake drinks, club and beggy beggy skills.”

Super Eagles: ‘Eric Chelle Is Not Going Anywhere’ – NSC Director General Confirms

Director-General of Nigeria’s National Sports Commission (NSC), Bukola Olopade, has dismissed any possibility of Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle leaving his position or Nigeria, despite interest from Tunisia, Gabon, and Angola.

Chelle has attracted interest from the aforementioned countries after guiding Nigeria to win Bronze at the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.

The Malian has less than a year remaining on his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation.

However, Olopade has now insisted that Chelle is not leaving Nigeria because the countries interested in him don’t have top players that will make his job easy.

“Eric Chelle is not going anywhere. The countries claiming interest in him don’t have the kind of superstars that make his job easier.

“We must not forget that Eric thrived because he had the right equipment and instruments—the quality personnel he used to execute his ideas.

“I had dinner with him two days ago at my house in Abuja. I’m not the NFF President, but we operate with a collaborative approach, and Eric Chelle has become both a brother and a friend.

“That same night, I called the NFF president, and hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday, we’ll all sit down together,” Olopade told Footy-Africa.

Nollywood Actress, Anita Joseph Slams Tr@lls Who Attacked Her For Commenting On Colleague, Rosy Muerer’s Page

Actress Anita Joseph has fired back at trolls who criticised her over a comment she made on actress Rosy Meurer’s Instagram page.

Following the reconciliation between Tonto Dikeh and her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, some Instagram users have camped on Churchill’s wife, Rosy’s IG page, leaving derogatory comments.

Rosy posted a video of herself on Sunday, January 25, and Anita who is a friend of hers, left a comment that read ‘’Bekee,” an Igbo word which translates to Foreigner.

Some trolls felt it was insensitive of Anita to praise Rosy knowing that Tonto and Churchill recently settled their differences.

Recall that Tonto had in the past accused Rosy of sleeping with Churchill while she was married to him but they both denied. However, a few years later, Rosy and Churchill  got married and have since welcomed two boys.

Popular Skitmaker, Egungun Shades His Critics As He Shows Off His Newly Acquired House (Video)

Kuye Adegoke, the popular Nigerian skit maker, who is better known as Egungun, is now the proud owner of a house in Lagos.

He shared a video of himself and his wife in their new house while seemingly throwing shade at his critics.

He was trending on social media some days ago following his interview with American streamer, Ishowspeed during his visit to Nigeria.

Some Nigerians felt Egungun could have done better by asking intelligent questions.

While showing off his new house, Egungun mentioned that the real respect goes to those who make things happen and not those who sit down and criticize others.

He wrote: ‘’Congratulations to me and my FAMILY congratulations

It’s not the people who sit down and criticize that matter.

It’s not those who point fingers and say, “You could have done it better.”

The real respect goes to the person who tries.

The one who shows up, works hard, gets tired, makes mistakes, and sometimes fails.

Because nobody can try without messing up sometimes.

That person still keeps going.

They believe in something.

They give their energy to a good cause.

If they succeed, great — they’ve achieved something big.

If they fail, at least they failed while trying.

They will never be like those people who do nothing, say nothing, and stand aside —

people who never win and never lose because they never even tried.”

BREAKING: Dangote Refinery Increases Fuel Price Nationwide By N100 Per Liter

Dangote Refinery has announced a nationwide increase of ₦100 per litre in the retail price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol).

The company disclosed this in a statement on Monday.

According to the $20 billion refinery plant, its gantry price of petrol is now sold at N799 per liter, while the retail price is N839 per liter, up from N699 and N739 per liter sold since December last year.

“Under the current alignment, the PMS gantry price is N799 per liter, while MRS retail outlets are selling at N839 per liter,” the company stated.

The Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Petroleum Refinery, David Bird, stated that the refinery continues to supply the domestic market with approximately 50 million liters of PMS daily, with nationwide evacuation and distribution operating normally.

Recall that Dangote Refinery resorted to gasoline imports to boost its capacity amid its Residual Fluid Catalytic Cracker, RFCC, downtime, according to Kpler.

As of Monday night, retail filling stations, including Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, dispense petrol between N805 and N830 per liter.

However, Dangote’s fuel price hike may trigger a petrol price hike across the country’s downstream sector.

Recall that Aliko Dangote, the president of the refinery, had in December last year said that its N739 per liter retail fuel price would persist nationwide to edge out importers.

In the briefing with journalists, precisely on Sunday, 14th December, Dangote said, “We don’t want people to sell petrol for more than N740 nationwide.”
