EFCC Collected N10m Before They Released Me – Oladips Alleges (Video)

Popular Nigerian singer, Oladips has called out the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
He accused the agency of collecting N10 million from him.
The rapper made this known nearly a year after he was arrested by EFCC during a midnight raid in his estate.
Oladips was arrested with some of his neighbors for alleged fraud in November 2024.
He was released after spending five days in detention.
Speaking about his experience with the EFCC, Oladips in his latest interview on Trending podcast, stated that nothing was found on him after the EFCC investigations.
While revealing that the EFCC collected N10 million from him before his release, he lamented that “Nigeria just happened to me”.
“It’s just one smelling place like that. They just packed us there like sardines and they gave us nonsense food. Funny enough it was Zlatan that was sending me food. Zlatan is not even a friend, that’s my blood.

 
“He was sending someone to buy good food for me because the food there is bad. They just packed us there like sardines. I’m not even supposed to be there first of all. Like, why did I spend four to five days there when you people (EFCC) didn’t find anything on me, not even a single thing. And they still collect N10 million from me before they released me.”
When asked “Is it a thing you can take up against the EFCC later, or you will just allow the sleeping dog lie?”, the singer responded “Who is my father?”
 
“Who is my father now? At the end of the day, who is my father? It’s just me and my truth. It’s not something I will want to. I don’t just know how the system works. I for dey their page now if to say I dey do Yahoo. They didn’t find anything on me. If they are watching this, they know that I’m saying the truth.
 
“They collected money from me before they released me. They didn’t find anything on me. So, what was the money for? What was all that stress and suffering for? It’s just Nigeria. Nigeria just happened to me,” he said.

Why I Can’t Date Broke Girls – Kiddwaya

Nigerian reality TV star Terseer Kidd Waya aka Kiddwaya has revealed why he will never date a broke woman.

According to him, broke women are entitled.

He stated this while speaking in an episode of Off The Record podcast.

The billionaire’s son said that many of them start off being humble and appreciative but later develop a sense of entitlement once they get used to his lifestyle.

He said: “At first, they’re thankful everything feels new and exciting. But after a few months, they start comparing themselves to others. They want the same bags, the same trips, and soon, what was once special becomes expected. The entitlement sets in and sometimes turns into rudeness. That’s been my biggest issue dating someone from a lower class and bringing them into my lifestyle.”

Odumodublvck Reveals The Shocking Story Behind His Stage Name

Nigerian rapper, Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has revealed how he got his stage name.

According to him, the name originated from a playful childhood moment that unexpectedly defined his music identity.

He stated this during a recent interview with BET Network.
Accordign to the rapper, the name “Odumodu” — which means masquerade, was first used to tease him.
“Odumodu means masquerade. I tried to scare someone and he called me that name. I was like, ‘No, don’t call me that.’ You know it’s that name you don’t want to be called,” he said.
According to him, the nickname continued to gain popularity among his peers, especially after a moment involving his mother.
“One day my mom came to visit me in school and they were like, ‘Yo, Odumodu’s mom is around,’ and she’s like, ‘who’s that?’ And I’m like, ‘that’s what it is.’ Then I started making music,” he added.
Before adopting the now-famous stage name, the rapper said he used the name “T Flows,” which he now considers uninspiring.
“The name I had first was T Flows — whack name. There are probably like a hundred thousand T Flows in the world, but there’s only one Odumodublvck,” he said confidently.
Odumodublvck added that he intentionally chose the name because of its uniqueness, even though his friends mocked it initially.
“When I told my friends that my name’s going to be Odumodu Blvck, they started laughing. I said, ‘yes, that’s the point. That’s the name.’ If I didn’t bear that name till the end of the world, there would never have been another Odumodublvck.”

What I Look Out For When Choosing A Partner – Kiddwaya

Nigerian reality TV star, Kiddwaya has revealed what he wants in a partner.
He made his opinion known in an episode of Off The Record Podcast.
According to him, character and values matter more to him than wealth or social status.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate explained that he prefers someone kind, respectful, and grounded.
He said: “I don’t pick based on background or status. Just be nice, have good energy, and stay grounded. I’m very easy to please when it comes to relationships. You have to believe in God. It doesn’t have to be tied to religion, but there must be a belief in something higher than us.
 
“The way you speak to a waiter or anyone who’s not on your level says everything about you. Respect should never depend on status. I could wake up and say, ‘Babe, we’re going to Jamaica tomorrow,’ and I want her to say, ‘Let’s go. I just like someone who can match my energy and enjoy the moment,” he added.

I Wasn’t Happy Being African – Tiwa Savage Recalls Growing Up In London

Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has dismissed claims that Afrobeats is currently experiencing its worst run in the past two decades.

Reputable music executives, including Paul Okoye aka Paulo, and DJ Big N, have claimed that Afrobeats is declining in separate interviews and social media posts.

However, speaking at the Unstoppable Africans event recently, Savage boasted that Afrobeats is unstoppable.

She argued that contrary to claims that the genre was declining, it is gaining more grounds on charts and tours.

She also spoke about the cultural impact of Afrobeats, recalling that she used to be unhappy about being an African growing up in London, but the positive image Afrobeats is giving the continent has made her become proud of her race.

The singer noted that Afrobeats has achieved a lot despite not having enough support, structure or infrastructure.

“Afrobeats is the fastest growing genre in the world. We kind of created it with nothing; no support, no infrastructure, no real belief even from our own people initially.

“I remember growing up in London and I was not happy being African. But now I’m so proud because of how big Afrobeats is growing.

“There was a conversation at one point that Afrobeats is going to have its 15 minutes of fame and then fades away. But we are still here. We are not slowing down. In fact, we are filling out stadiums, and we are getting the biggest songs on the charts right now.

“I don’t know how true this is, but apparently one in every four black persons is a Nigerian or an African.

“So, we are not going anywhere. As much as they are trying to quiet us down, the music is not going anywhere. We are Africans and we are unstoppable,” she remarked.
