Nigerian singer and half of the music duo Bracket, Obumneme Ali aka Smash has revealed that the fight between Peter and Paul of P-Square is spiritual.
Bracket made the claim while featuring in a recent episode of the AFRIMMA Podcast alongside his bandmate Vast.
Bracket claimed that Paul also admitted that the feud between him and Peter was spiritual.
He said, “I’m closer to Paul than Peter but l always go to Peter’s house and he listens to me whenever I speak to him. But unfortunately, if you ask me as an in-house, I will say that problem is spiritual.
 
“The last time I met Paul I told him his problem with his brother Peter wasn’t normal that it’s spiritual and he agreed. If you know how close these guys were and how they worked, you will feel so bad looking at what is going on today. Jude was part of P-Square. Paul and Peter, they loved that brand with so much passion.”

U.S. Reportedly Revoking Valid Visas of Nigerians

The United States Embassy in Nigeria has reportedly begun revoking valid visas of Nigerian citizens, leaving professionals, entrepreneurs, frequent travellers, and families stranded.
This was revealed by former Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd, Olufemi Soneye in an article titled “The Quiet Revocation: Why is the U.S. Silently Cancelling Nigerians’ Visas?”
He stated that several affected individuals have confirmed receiving official letters from the embassy in recent weeks, instructing them to submit their passports at the consulate in Lagos or Abuja. Upon submission, their visas were cancelled without explanation.
The cancellation notices, citing Title 22, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 41.122, vaguely stated that “new information became available after the visa was issued,” but provided no details, evidence, or avenues for appeal.
Among those impacted are a prominent journalist, the head of a federal government agency scheduled to deliver an international address, and an Abuja-based entrepreneur with a spotless travel record.
Others include professionals and frequent travellers who rely on visas for education, family reunions, medical treatment, and critical business engagements.
Some travellers only discovered the cancellations at airports and boarding gates, with a few briefly detained by immigration officials before being turned back. Several were forced to cancel trips, refund tickets, and explain to partners why they could no longer attend important meetings.
Despite the gravity of the situation, neither the U.S. Embassy nor Nigerian authorities have issued a public statement addressing the wave of cancellations, leaving affected citizens in limbo.
Those affected insist they have never overstayed visas, violated immigration rules, or raised security concerns. The sudden revocations have therefore sparked fears of a quiet but targeted tightening of U.S. visa policy against Nigerians.

Wike Destroyed PDP, Not In Position to Talk About Character – Abati Slams FCT Minister

Reuben Abati, a veteran journalist and former Senior Adviser on Media and Publicity to former President Goodluck Jonathan has lashed out at FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
He accused Wike of destroying the Peoples Democratic Party.
Abati was reacting to Wike’s statement warning the PDP not to field Peter Obi in the 2027 election.
He also warned the party against allowing former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest under the party.
Abati slammed Wike, saying he doesn’t have the moral ground to speak recklessly and unintelligently about Peter Obi, Goodluck Johnathan and Nasir El-Rufai.
Abati urged the minister to question his own character rather than attacking other political opponents.
Abati, the lead anchor in the popular Arise TV breakfast talk show, Morning Show, stated this on Tuesday.
He said: “Now he is saying that if Mr Peter Obi comes back to the PDP, the PDP will be destroyed, because Peter Obi doesn’t have the character having condemned PDP as a rotten party to come back to the PDP.
 
“Wike is not in a position to talk about character. Okay, he is not the one to talk about character. In fact, if he talks about character, he should question his own character.
 
“I don’t know why people have problems with basic intelligence and decorum. He goes on television, and he says, you know, ‘Peter Obi doesn’t have character. Peter Obi left PDP and went to Labor Party, now he’s in ADC’. In fact, it is Wike himself that destroyed the party.
 
“And he also says, ‘President Jonathan should not come back, come and run on the platform of the PDP because he’s a statesman and all of that’. He’s not in a position to advise President Jonathan just as he has made it clear that nobody can advise him.
 
“Who is he to determine the destiny of the Peoples Democratic Party when he is already in another political party? I blame the media. The media gives him platform to disparage other political opponents.
 
“Yesterday, was talking about Peter Obi. He was talking about President Jonathan. He was talking about Nasir El-Rufai. What gives him that moral high ground to talk recklessly and unintelligently? Because the media, what is the media looking for? The the media, they are the ones who go to interviewing. They are the ones who collect money to put him on the air.
 
“If he’s talking about the FCT, yes, fine. But if it’s disparaging all that political opponents, the media has an obligation to give all the other persons that have been disparaged to have a right of reply.
 
“So we should not create a situation whereby, for monetary reasons, the Nigerian media is sucking up to a minister of the Federal Republic, who, in my view, is overreaching himself.”

I Almost Died of Drug Abuse, Overdose – Odumodublvck Shares Story

Nigerian rapper, Odumodublvck has revealed that he nearly d!ed of drug overdose.
According to him, this happened during the time he struggled with illicit drug addiction.
The rapper stated that he used to take illicit drugs while studying at the University of Lagos and almost d!ed of overdose during an episode.
The ‘Pity The Boy’ hitmaker explained that he called his mother to book a flight for him to return to Abuja while battling with the overdose. He stated that after that incident, he only indulged in illicit drugs once before quitting.
“I was a very bright student while studying at the University of Lagos. But I was indulging in illicit drugs. One day, I took it and almost died. I called my mother to book my flight to return to Abuja. After that incident, I only took drug once before quitting,” he stated in a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast.
Odumodublvck stated that he was grateful to God because not everyone who indulged in illicit substance consumption were privileged to give up the addiction.
Warning of the dangers of drug abuse, he urged young people to shun illicit substance consumption.
“I’m grateful because there are some people that went into that life [illicit substance consumption] and they didn’t make it out. Some people didn’t make it alive, some had lost people to it like they died because of drug abuse. Some even committed suicide due to drug overdose. I’ve seen a pregnant woman and her husband battling drug addiction. It’s really terrible!”

Nigerian Music Industry Unconducive for Women – Qing Madi

Nigerian musician, Qing Madi has lamented that the Nigerian music industry is not conducive for female artists.
She stated this in a recent interveiw.
According to her, the music industry does not protect women, noting that the reception of female artists is low.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Wahala Podcast, Qing Madi said, “I think the [music] industry is not the best for women in terms of protecting women, loving women in general.
 
“Women have to do twice as much work as their male counterparts. Women are oftentimes criticised for nothing. But they don’t do that to the men. The men have the right to do whatever they like, but for the women, society just wants to box women so much.
 
“I go through that, which is crazy because I’m 19. So what do you want me to do? Women never get a break. So I’m super proud of being a female artist in Nigeria. And I’m super proud of every female artist in Nigeria because it takes a lot [to be one]. It’s not easy.”

Court Has Not Declared Rivers LG Poll Illegal – Wike Replies Atiku, Obi

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has pushed back against those slamming the recently conducted Rivers State Local government election.
Replying Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, he stated that the court has not declared the Rivers State local government election illegal.
Atiku and Obi had in separate statements described the exercise as unlawful.
Wike, while speaking during a media parley on Monday, said the polls were legally conducted and commended by many for being free and fair.
“Listen, I don’t blame Atiku; he didn’t know that his boss signed the emergency rule in 2004. If he knew, if he was obedient and working along with his boss, who was President Olusegun Obasanjo, he would have known that the President has the power to make regulations for the governance of emergency areas.
 
“So, he was not in tune. He doesn’t know, and as I said, what you don’t know, don’t comment about it. If Atiku had comments about Customs, I know he has worked in Customs. I can give it to him, but this is law.”
The minister added that Obi lacked the moral right to speak about the conduct of elections.
 
“Now take Peter Obi. He said rascality. Who can be more [of a] rascal than Obi? Obi was the governor of Anambra State for eight years. He conducted local government elections two months before he left office — eight years as governor.”
