Damini Ogulu, the famous Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, who is popularly known as Burna Boy, has responded to criticism after he removed a couple from his Denver concert for falling asleep during his performance.

His action has been attracting criticisms after the lady involved claimed the incident affected her negatively.

“Did I tell you all to be my fans? I am only looking for fans who have money this period,”he expressed.

Burna Boy’s response has sparked fresh discourse about how he treats his fans, who are the main drivers of his musical success, with some threatening to “cancel” him.

This isn’t the first time the singer would be involved in a controversy with a fan. He previously made similar headlines after he kicked a starstruck male fan who stormed the stage to hug him while he was performing.

Burna Boy also once asked a fan to leave his concert for not dancing while he was performing.

We Can’t Dispute Trump Calling Nigeria A Disgraced Country – Peter Obi

The Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration over the worsening insecurity in the country.

In a long post on X, Obi stated that no one can dispute US president Donald Trump calling Nigeria “a disgraced country”.

He was reacting to the recent terror attack on a Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, in Kwara state.

According to Obi, Tinubu is more interesting in breaking up the opposition than strengthening the nation’s democracy.

Obi wrote: “A few weeks ago, when President Trump described our country as “now disgraced,” many were outraged. Yet, how can we dispute it when, within a single week, 25 people were kidnapped, and one of our generals along with other officers was killed?

“Today, we witness another troubling terror attack in Kwara State. Rather than uniting in this critical moment, we are consumed by internal wrangling, party squabbles, and distractions.

“Look closely at what is happening in the PDP, the Labour Party, SDP, and other political formations—crises deliberately orchestrated by a government that should be embracing everyone so we can unite in this troubling period.

“I am reminded of a pivotal moment under President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. During an internal crisis in my then-political party, he instructed the INEC Chairman, Professor Maurice Iwu, that the stability of every political party—not just the ruling party—was essential for democracy. No party was to be undermined; all were to function within the law.

“What we witness today is the opposite. The current government seems more intent on weakening parties than strengthening our democracy—seeking to fragment the PDP, Labour Party, SDP, and others.

“In democratic nations, opposition is respected, elections reflect the will of the people, and governance involves carrying everyone along for peace and prosperity.”

Nigerian Actor Lege Miami Apologies To Stanley Nwabali, Says He Was Only Correcting Him (Video)

Content creator and actor Kehinde Adams, widely known as Lege Miami, has apologised to Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali for referencing his late father in a social media post.

Lege Miami said his comments were meant to correct Nwabali’s on-field performance, not to disrespect his late father.

In his post, he wrote: “First, I am sorry I mentioned your late dad that made you upset, but you don’t like listening to corrections. When they correct you, you like to act like a big man on the pitch.

“Your hanky-panky on the pitch is too much. You are supposed to give your colleagues courage, but you play with the ball inside the box. You do a lot of mistakes, we are trying to correct you.”

The exchange follows Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after losing to DR Congo in the African playoff—a result that sparked criticism of the national team and its players.

Earlier, Nwabali had warned Lege Miami to stop mentioning his late father while commenting on the team, saying such remarks were inappropriate.

I’ll Beat You Mercilessly – Stanley Nwabali Warns Lege Miami Against Disrespecting Late Dad

Stanley Nwabali, the Super Eagles goalkeeper, has cautioned popular matchmaker and social media personality Kehinde Adams, better known as Lege Miami, over disparaging remarks made about his late father.

Lege Miami had taken to social media to criticise several Super Eagles players following Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

While he praised Victor Osimhen, Benjamin Fredrick, and Calvin Bassey, he singled out others for harsh criticism.

The outspoken entertainer also took aim at Nwabali despite the goalkeeper saving two penalties in Nigeria’s playoff loss to DR Congo.

The comments, which referenced Nwabali’s late father whose funeral he recently attended, triggered an angry response from the goalkeeper.

Nwabali took to his Instagram story to warn the content creator, writing, “Lege Miami, remove my late dad’s name from your mouth if you are doing your content. If you don’t learn to respect people’s dad, you should respect the dead.

“I’m not your regular type of footballer I go beat you mercilessly. You’re free to insult me, but remove my late dad’s name from your mouth.”

Social media personality, Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan, has apologised to the public following his in-flight clash with comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, better known as Mr Jollof, which caused delays on a United Nigeria Airlines flight.

“I would really like to apologise for what happened yesterday on the United Nigerian Airlines. What happened yesterday was not supposed to happen, and I will take full responsibility for it.

“A lot of people on that flight had important things to do, but because of that little irresponsibility from my end, their flight was delayed.

“Looking back at what happened yesterday, I really didn’t like that part. Even though some people saw everything as a cruise on social media, I acted irresponsibly,” he said.

He, therefore assured Nigerians that such behaviour would not occur in public spaces again.

Hackers Infiltrate The Phones Of Dangote And Otedola, Demand Ransom

Tension has spread across the business circles of Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola following reports that hackers gained access to the mobile phones of the two prominent businessmen.

Sources close to both men confirmed to TheCable that their phones were compromised within the past week, with the intruders making direct financial demands.

While the phone of Otedola, Chairman of FirstHoldCo Plc, was breached once, Africa’s richest man, Dangote, suffered two separate hacks in just 48 hours.

Although it remains unclear whether the business moguls have regained full control of their devices, insiders say the attackers wasted no time in demanding ransom.

“The hackers are asking for money from both men,” a source familiar with the situation told TheCable.

The nature of the demands, the extent of the data compromised, or whether law enforcement has been alerted is yet to be confirmed as of press time.

Dangote and Otedola, who often refer to each other as “brothers,” have maintained a decades-long friendship and business association.

Otedola recently attended an event where Dangote announced plans to scale up his refinery’s capacity from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million bpd.

Praising Dangote’s ambition, Otedola described him as “Africa’s pride,” noting that the refinery project would shape future generations.

Otedola said, “Aliko’s relentless commitment to investing in Nigeria and Africa will outlive him as these are legacy investments that will define generations.

“Soon, Nigerians will own part of this refinery, a powerful reminder that this vision is not just for Dangote, but for all Nigerians and Africans.”
