Davido: There are just three tribes in Nigeria: the Yoruba, Igbo, and Benin.

In a recent interview, Afrobeat musician Davido made a false statement.

According to him, there are just three tribes in Nigeria: the Yoruba, Igbo, and Benin.

We have three tribes in Nigeria, according to Davido, who made a mistake yesterday in Lagos while hosting well-known American content producer Kai Cenat, who is in the country for a documentary. Yoruba is one of them. He is Yoruba, my father. Furthermore, you are actually from Nigeria, wherever your father is from. That makes my father Yoruba. My wife is an Igbo woman. In addition, my mum comes from Benin. I am a member of three tribes.

The National Bureau of Statistics stated that there are 371 tribes in Nigeria, the majority of which are Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, refuting the Timeless singer’s assertion.

Bobrisky: What I’d Tell My Creator If He Wondered Why I Went Gender Neutral

Bobrisky, a well-known crossdresser from Nigeria, has stirred much controversy online after declaring that he will answer his creator’s question on why he chose to change the gender he was born with.

The socialite from Lagos used his Instagram profile to respond to those who always criticize him for his decisions.

He told his detractors that he was free to make this choice and that no one else had the right to ask him about it—not even his creator.

Bobrisky remarked on the impermanence and meaninglessness of life, stating that everyone would eventually die and be held accountable for their deeds, and that none of his contemporary critics would be there to respond to his inquiries.

He wrote;

“Now let me lecture many of you here, there’s something called “CHOICE ” learn to respect people choice. Let everyone live. At the end of the day if we all d*e we aren’t going to be buried in d same place, you can’t answer my question for me if my creator ask me to explain how i lived my life on earth. So relax and mind ur business.

If my creator wake me up and ask me to explain why he create a man and i turned myself to a beautiful woman, I will defend myself and tell him why. You won’t be there to explain for me. So mind ur business”

I’m Happy I Sung About Declan Rice Instead of Caicedo, Enzo – Odumodublvck

Odumodublvck, a rapper, Tochukwu Ojogwu, has disclosed that he is content with his song about Declan Rice, an Arsenal midfielder.

This came after Rice’s contribution to Arsenal’s victory over FC Porto.

In the Champions League on Tuesday night, Declan scored the winning penalty to help Arsenal upset Porto 4-2 on penalties.

The “Declan Rice” hitmaker, who wrote a song in honor of the midfielder, called his penalty a “spot kick” in reaction to how he played the entire game.

He expressed his gratitude to Declan Rice for giving him the opportunity to brag, and he thought about how awful it would have been to sing a song about Moisés Caicedo or Enzo Fernandez.

“The Thing Wey Declan Play No Be Penalty,” tweeted the hip-hop celebrity. Na Kick in the Spot. Say Na Caicedo or Enzo come to mind. Sing Chai, that is. Declan’s god.

“I had no idea that I would be watching Arsenal and hoping for a corner kick. “Becklam Rice: A Machine for Industry.”
