I Am Focusing On Me Now – Paul Okoye Confirms PSquare Has Split Again

Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, a member of the PSquare duo has confirmed that the record-breaking group has split again.

Recall that the group which consists of Paul and his twin brother, Peter Okoye aka Mr P, first split in 2016 but reunited in 2021.

In a recent interview with City FM, Lagos, Rudeboy confirmed that the group has broken up again.

“The plan of our coming back together was going to produce a lot of hit albums. But as it is now, I’m just focusing on Rudeboy. Trust me, it is not everything that I would want to say,” he said.

“I was being accused of saying that he [Peter] was the dancer and I’m the singer. I know whenever we go to the airport, people ask are you a singer or a dancer? I didn’t know it was touching him. But I know there was a time we came together and said, ‘don’t allow this thing get to you, you should be proud of what you’re doing. That’s the role you’re playing.’

“We have a song we did with T.I, ‘Eja Jo’. That was when the issue started. Till today, that song is still on 3 million views because people didn’t hear the PSquare’s voice that they are used to.

“When we came back together, because I didn’t want the issues that happened before, I told my brother to show himself, let us be involved in the creative process together. I told him we should share who carries the tracks equally but still, it wasn’t working.

“The new PSquare was peaceful. I needed the past mistakes not to repeat themselves. But then again he [Peter] said he’s no more doing [no longer interested]. In fact, he told me in the face that he wants to quit. I asked if we could make it public and he refused. But what will happen when I go solo? People will call me the bad person. That’s why I’m speaking up now.”

Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has expressed displeasure after videos surfaced online showing police officers using teargas to disperse peaceful protesters.

She urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to caution the police against the act, stating that it is the right of every Nigerian to protest.

Similarly, protesters at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos State were dispersed with tear gas. This use of force sparked outrage on social media.

“How I ‘unexpectedly’ became an artiste” – Young Jonn

Famous Nigerian singer and producer, John Saviours Udomboso, popularly known as Young Jonn, has shared the unexpected journey that led him to become an artiste.

The 29-year-old singer, known for hits like ‘Bahamas’ and ‘Aquafina,’ revealed that his transition from producing to performing was not a planned career move but rather a result of unforeseen circumstances in his life.

“I never really planned to be an artiste, but life played out,” Young Jonn said.

He explained that his foray into the music industry as a performer was an accidental journey rather than a deliberate choice.

Discussing his shift from producing to performing, Young Jonn described the experience as a learning curve.

“It’s a whole different ball game. It’s a whole different hustle, grind, and business. It took me time, but I think I’m getting hold of it,” he added.

MTN Gives Major Update After Shutting DownOffices Nationwide

MTN Nigeria has announced it has resumed nationwide operations.
MTN, Nigeria’s leading telecommunications provider had on Tuesday shutdown all its offices in response to widespread customer outrage and vandalism, sparked by the disconnection of subscribers who failed to link their SIM cards to their National Identification Numbers.

On Wednesday, MTN announced its return to operations via X (formerly Twitter), confirming that its physical shops would be open to customers from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm.

“Y’ello customer, please note that our shops nationwide will be open today, 31 July. Operating hours: 8.00 am-3:00 pm. We are also available 24/7 to support you via digital channels,” the operator said.
Over the weekend, many subscribers found themselves unable to access their phone lines after failing to verify their NINs with SIMs, leading to their numbers being blocked in compliance with NIN-SIM linkage regulations.
This blockage prompted thousands of subscribers to storm telecom offices on Monday, leading the Nigerian Communications Commission to direct telecommunications operators to immediately restore all affected lines.
The NCC, in a statement signed on Monday by the Director of Media and Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka, explained that the directive was in response to the widespread disruption and subscriber outrage caused by the blockages.
The mandatory linkage of NINs with SIMs, initiated in December 2020, was geared towards enhancing the country’s security and ensuring an accurate SIM ownership database. Despite several deadline extensions, including the latest to July 31, 2024, many lines remain unverified.
Since December 2023, the Commission has reviewed the deadline multiple times. Initially, April 15, 2024, was set as the deadline for the full network, barring subscribers with four or fewer SIMs that had unverified NIN details.
This deadline was then extended to July 31, 2024, to give consumers more time to ensure their submitted NIN details are properly verified. Despite these extensions, many phone lines are yet to be linked with verified NINs.
