Comedian Brainjotter Raises Over N20m For Physically Challenged Fan

During his show on May 25, comedian and social media influencer Chukwuebuka Amuzie, widely known as Brainjotter, successfully gathered over N20 million to support a physically challenged fan, Queen Onwunachie.

In a post on his verified Instagram page on Thursday, Brainjotter narrated how he met the woman, stating that she was the first to attend the show and watched while his team were setting up the sound ahead of the show.

“The show I planned in Abuja wasn’t my show, it was a woman’s show. I don’t know that God had other plans,” Brainjotter spoke in pidgin English in a video released on Thursday.


“So when the show was going on, I was in my hotel room upstairs at Transcorp Hilton, so I came downstairs to check what was going on. I saw this lady sitting down. I wasn’t aware that she didn’t have hands or legs, what she wore were plastic hands and legs,”
 he narrated further.

 

Afterwards, he noted that he took pictures with her and she later went upstairs to the show. Onwunachie, who also narrated her story noted that she went upstairs to where people who had regular tickets were to stay.

Meanwhile, Brainjotter noted that he had planned to make one person a millionaire during his show, however, “God had other plans.”

During the show, Brainjotter and his comedy colleagues, one of which was Samuel Perry, known as Broda Shaggi, started to pick random people from the crowd.

Onwunachie recounted that while the selection was being made, Brainjotter asked about the lady who was on crutches, whom he met earlier. She said people started shouting that she was in the regular section.

“So as Shaggi (Broda shaggi) was about to pick someone else, my mind went straight to that lady (Onwunachie). I remembered her,” Brainjotter said.

As seen during the show, the lady was called out from where she was and brought to the front of the stage, she was aided by the bouncers and some other people to get to the stage where Brainjotter was.

“The initial plan was to raise 1 million for the lady,”
he recounted.

Subsequently, he raised over N20 million, including a sponsor, who pledged to process her Visa to Canada

“So I want to say thank you to my benefactor, Brainjotter, and I want to thank Transcorp Hilton for accommodating me for the night. I want to say thank you. I am so grateful. God will bless everyone that contributed for me, God will bless you and God will bless brainjotter abundantly,”
Onwunachie said.

Brainjotter further encouraged his fans not to give up on their goals and ambitions in life.

“Don’t give up on your dreams, you don’t know when God wants to bless you, it always looks like a dream. Someone (Onwunachie) who came to show paying N19,000, went home with over N20 million naira. I’ve always said that the reward for gratitude is brighter. So on behalf of myself and my team, I want to say thank you to Abuja,”
Brainjotter said.

National Anthem: I Will Miss ‘Arise, O Compatriots’ – Singer, Teni Says

Teniola Apata, the popular Nigerian singer, who is simply known as Teni, has reacted to the change of Nigeria’s national anthem.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law to reinstate the old anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”

Reacting, Teni said she would miss the replaced National Anthem, “Arise, O Compatriots.”

She noted that she made so many childhood memories with the former anthem.

On her X handle, Teni wrote: “Arise o compatriots, I’ll miss you, thank you for so many childhood memories. till we meet again, love SM.”

‘Arise, O compatriots’ was adopted as Nigeria’s National Anthem in 1978.

The lyrics were composed by John A. Ilechukwu, Eme Etim Akpan, B. A. Ogunnaike, Sota Omoigui and P. O. Aderibigbe.

The anthem was performed by the Nigeria Police Band under the directorship of B. E. Odiasse.

By the implication of the National Anthem Bill 2024 which was recently signed into law by President Tinubu, ‘Arise, O compatriots’ has now officially been replaced by the old anthem, ‘Nigeria, We Hail Thee’ as Nigeria’s National Anthem.

Timi Dakolo’s ‘Great Nation’ Would Have Made Better National Anthem – Adekunle Gold Says

Adekunle Gold, the popular Nigerian singer, has made a new claim.

He stated that his colleague, Timi Dakolo’s song, ‘Great Nation’ would have made a better national anthem than the old anthem which the country returned to.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law to reinstate the old anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”

Reacting, Adekunle Gold wondered why those in authority did not consider Timi Dakolo’s ‘Great Nation’ as the country’s new anthem.

On his X handle, he wrote: “No one thought Timi Dakolo’s Great Nation makes a better anthem?”

His post sparked mind reactions.

Here is a compilation of some of the reactions:

@jachukwu wrote, “If they were truly looking for an anthem that will steer up patriotism and love for the country it would have been that song.”

@CarmillaXander said, “Absolutely yes, that song could make the least patriotic Nigerian stand up and go ‘sasageyo’.”

@Tyekooon opined, “The lyrics are too deep for an unserious country, hence.”

@xybox wrote, “It would make a beautiful anthem.

“When these old meddling politicians have left this world, I hope the future legislators will denounce this colonial special number of theirs and adopt ‘Great Nation’.”

@BFMPLUS said, “Yes but it still carries the disputable and derogatory word: Tribe!!

We should stop describing ourselves as tribal people.

“No whiteman ever allows himself to be called tribe.”

I Will Reveal Who Killed Mohbad After Liam’s DNA Test – Father, Joseph Aloba Says

Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, stated that he will disclose the identity of the individual purportedly responsible for Mohbad’s death after a DNA test has been performed on Liam, the deceased singer’s son.

Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day. On September 21, his body was exhumed by police for an autopsy.

Eight months later, the autopsy failed to determine the cause of death as the singer’s body had decomposed when tests were conducted.

Mohbad’s demise has continued to elicit discussions on social media, including questions about his son’s paternity.

Aloba also refused to rebury his son until a DNA test confirmed Liam’s biological father.

He recently suggested that a potential DNA test on Liam could have been a factor in the singer’s death.

But in another interview with Oyinmomo TV, Aloba accused Omowunmi, Mohbad’s wife, of infidelity while claiming he knew who killed the singer.

Aloba alleged that Omowunmi also influenced Mohbad against the management of Marlian Records, his former label.

“Cynthia (Omowunmi) is supposed to be called a liar. There is no single truth that comes out from her. She says ‘because I did not give daddy placenta since then he has been…’. Liam has bowed legs. People started calling my attention to the physical traits of Liam, saying “We do not have curved legs in our family. So where did Liam get his curved legs,”
he said.

“I wanted to name the boy Victor. I did not know where they got the name Liam from. But they told me there was no more name. Liam is an Islamic name and we do not have Islamic in my lineage.

“We are talking about DNA they did not do it and they want us to bury Mohbad. We must know if the child is ours. If he belongs to our bloodline.

“Mohbad has always been talking to me about one king. If people want to look for who killed Mohbad, they should wait after the DNA test.”
