After receiving harsh criticism, popular musician Brymo has apologized to the Igbos for his remarks against the tribe.
This comes after the singer was widely condemned by Nigerians for his anti-Igbo remarks, prompting thousands of Nigerians to sign a petition to prevent the singer from winning the All Africa Music Award in the ‘Songwriter of the Year’ category.
According to reports, the singer insulted the tribe by claiming that the country isn’t ready for an Igbo presidency, among other things.

The La Liga table toppers took the lead when 18-year-old Gavi fired in from Robert Lewandowski’s pass. Lewandowski struck just before halftime when he finished from Gavi’s pass.
Gavi got another assist in the second half as he set up Pedri, before Karim Benzema struck a late consolation.
The game would have finished with a bigger margin if goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had not secured some smart saves.
Since being defeated 3-1 by Real Madrid in October 2022, Barcelona has gone from strength to strength and have secured the number one spot on the La Liga table. This victory also extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to nine games.
Zaynab Bilyamin, a 24-year-old student at Federal University Dutse, has converted sachet water waste into kerosene and diesel.
Ms Bilyamin who is a student of the Department of Chemistry worked on the conversion as her undergraduate final year project.
Her project topic is: “Conversion of Low-Density Polyethylene and Mixed Low-Density Polyethylene with Polyethylene Terephthalate into Fuel.”

Ms Bilyamin stated that she was inspired to conduct the research after reading about the possibility of converting polymeric waste into fuel because in Nigeria, polymeric waste piles up on the street without recycling, posing an environmental risk, whereas this waste can be converted to wealth.
The young scientist appreciated the support from her parents and the project supervisor, Aminu Dauda, for their help in the course of carrying out the project work.
Speaking on the challenges encountered, she said, “I carried out the experiment in the lab, although it was okay. But during the experiment, an obnoxious odour which is not very pleasant to the nose was emitted. Had it been that there was a facility a little bit away from residential areas, it would have been so much better.”
She mentioned further how she had to take her product to Bayero University Kano (BUK) in Kano State for analysis as there was no equipment for such in her school.
“Had it been available in my school, then I would have carried out the physicochemical analysis myself in my school,” she said.
In the course of the research, Mr Dauda said they had to design and fabricate a machine (reactor) at the Kano Technology Incubation Centre which was used for the pyrolysis — the method used to convert the polymeric waste into fuel..
Ms Bilyamin, who hails from Jigawa State, said she would pursue a career in academia as she want to carry the research further in her Masters and PhD program.
She added that the research gulped more than N100,000 (about $150).
Ms Bilyamin and her supervisor therefore called on the government to invest in this area of research as it will ease the blockage caused by polymeric waste and at the same time serve as a source of revenue to the government and also means of reducing youth restiveness.

Dino Melaye, the spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, has called All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu an emergency Muslim.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
This comes following the inability of the former Governor of Lagos State to appropriately recite the Qu’ran at a campaign rally.
Taking to his Twitter page on Monday, January 16, 2023, Dino Melaye released a video of what he termed the ‘Fathia challenge’ between him and Tinubu.
SUGGESTION: You can get News updates directly on WhatsApp by clicking “HERE” and joining our group.
Fathia is the first chapter of the Qu’ran, and it is recited by Muslims in every obligatory five daily prayers.
According to the former Kogi State senator, the APC flagbearer is not a Muslim, but an emergency one who is trying to learn the basics of Islams only for political purposes.
Melaye, therefore, urged Nigerians to vote out Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming general election.
He wrote: “Fathia challenge: Dino defeated Tinubu in Quranic citation. Emilokan is not a Muslim but an emergency Muslim trying to learn the basics of Islam for political purposes. Vote him out.”
This has however generated mixed reactions, while many asked Tinubu to take up the challenge, others said that shows Tinubu isn’t a religious fanatic as feared by many that oppose the APC Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Ade Akintunde said; “The only reliable information about EMILOKAN, is that he is a man, the rest are OLUWOLE.”
Micheal said; “Thank God that Dino has confirmed that Tinubu is not a fanatical Muslim as people are portraiting him to be and Dino’s assertion has made a mess of him criticizing the Muslim-Muslim ticket.”
Babatunde Samson said; “If he’s not a Muslim then what is he? His not a Muslim but goes to Mecca regularly? He bears Moslem names,if his not a muslim but he associate with Muslims more than d Christians,d Muslims will want to use him even if he’s half Muslim, they will use d principle of Taqiya for him, all I know is Apc will fall, PDP will scatter for Peter Obi to raise a new Nigeria where peace and justice shall reigns! O God of creation makes this noble course come to pass in Jesus’ mighty name.”

Atiku’s wife made the call while speaking to women in Bauchi at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium over the weekend.

Mrs. Atiku said Nigerians can entrust the country into the hands of her husband because considering he has served as a two-term vice president under the then President, Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
She asserted that there is more to benefit women and generally if her husband is given the mandate to run the affairs of the country as Nigeria’s next President.
She appealed to the people of Bauchi state to vote for her husband as president and also return their state governor, Bala Mohammed to office for a second term.
Mrs. Atiku also warned women against being deceived by selfish politicians who do not mean well for the country.
She recalled that when her husband served as vice president for 8 years, women were not left behind in her programmes as the wife of vice President, adding that women should expect more if her husband becomes the President in 2023.
Mrs. Atiku noted that “I urge you to tighten up your belts, tighten up your belts women of Bauchi, I beg you not to doubt my husband, he will do so many things for you, including your children.
“There is hunger, no job for the youth, our youth are roaming the streets, some are involved in yahoo yahoo, we pray that God will intervene.
“Go and collect your PVCs in order to be able to vote for the PDP, Atiku Abubakar and Bala Mohammed. Your votes will make a positive impact in the election. Ensure that you protected your votes very well to ensure that it counted.”
You’ve made the decision to go out to party. That’s fantastic. However, if you truly want to have a good time at whatever event you attend, avoid going out with any of these people because they will frustrate you in some way.
Couples
If you go out with a couple, you’ll be sorry. They only know how to annoy PDAs and exchange saliva whenever they get the chance. I didn’t invite you out for a dry hump; I invited you out for drinks.
Ambiverts
At the very least, introverts prefer to stay at home. Ambiverts have on and off days, and they don’t always realize they don’t want to be out until they are. If you’re out with an ambivert on a day when they want to stay in, God help you. They will irritate you by constantly acting as if they are being punished. They will not even attempt to have fun; instead, they will sit in a corner and press their phones. Meanwhile, they’re the ones who asked you to accompany them. Chisom, we just arrived; stop asking if we can go.

9-5ers
9-5ers are full-blown party animals. It’s like they channel all the stress from their work into energy for turn up. When you go out with them, you’ll be exhausted within one hour. If you’re out with bankers, architects or lawyers to be precise, just be ready to stay out till 5 a.m. They don’t know when to call it a night, even when they have work the following day.
People who live with their parents
They’ll try to include you in one stressful lie or scheme so that they can be out. When they’re finally out, they’re paranoid about getting caught. Can’t even post them on your insta story in case one grand cousin’s sister’s daughter accidentally finds your page. Omo, Tunde, this isn’t what I signed up for. Then there are the ones with 9 p.m. curfews, who try to make you leave early too. You and who? Do I leave with your parents?
People who live far away
They always have to leave early because their house is far from civilisation. You sef should know better than to invite somebody from FESTAC out at night. If you want them to stay longer, you have to give them a place to sleep.
Gym buffs
Latest 7 p.m., they’re heading back home because they have to go to the gym the next morning. And while they’re out, they won’t eat or drink certain things because it’s not part of their diet. And they’ll judge you while you’re eating your shawarma and fries at 11 p.m. As if you’re on the diet with them.
Influencers
All they want to do is record videos of every single thing that’s happening, all in the name of content. Instead of properly partying, they’re shooting “Come turn up with me on a Friday night” vlogs. If you give them the chance, they’ll carry tripod to the club.
Being a delusional girl means choosing to ignore facts and live in your own reality. When you reach your delusional stage, you believe that your wildest fantasies are not only possible, but also normal. Here’s why you should try it today!
Men do it, so why not?
Men are constantly told that they have “audacity,” which allows them to apply for jobs they aren’t qualified for and demand attention from women they don’t know. Why can’t we do the same?
Reality is hard
You’re a woman on Earth, so the odds are stacked against you. It’s over if you’re now poor or queer. Why then do you want to be trapped in this reality that constantly tries to frustrate you? Be delusory; escape into the part of your mind where everything works in your favor.

It’s fun
Sometimes, alter your reality for shits and giggles. If you say you’re a princess, who’s going to check you?
What has being realistic done for you?
In all the years you’ve been realistic, what have you achieved? What has the realism actually done? Try a new approach to life and watch everything change.
Heal your inner child
When you were younger, you had a wider imagination and actually believed in the impossible. Entering your delusional girl era connects you to that part of yourself. It’ll heal your inner child.
Extra motivation
If you’re convinced the universe exists simply to cater to your every need, and that everything works together for you, you’d be gingered to do the impossible. Why? Because the universe won’t let you down.
Improve your mental health
If you’re too busy altering your own reality, what time will you have to be depressed and anxious? The answer is none.
