“I and Neo are good, better than I even expected to be honest because it’s a whole different dynamic when you are with somebody 24/7 in the house, and then you come out… we have different schedules and we have to spend most times apart because of those schedules… But am surprised that we are this good”

Mavin Records CEO, Don Jazzy has politely shunned an allegation that his new signee, Ayra Starr, sampled a song on Wizkid’s Made in Lagos album.
The music producer unveiled the new female singer on Thursday, January 21, and released her EP across music streaming platforms.
An online troll, who apparently listened to the tracks, claimed Ayra copied Wizkid’s track “sweet one”. He went further to berate the 18-year-old for allegedly sampling the song.
Taking to micro-blogging platform, Twitter, he wrote,
“What did I just hear??? This new Mavin girl sampled sweet one??
She no evn allow the song age small. Later dem go open their mouth say no be Wiz inspire them….we dey wait,”
The tweet caught the attention of the music executive, who carefully schooled the troll and cautioned the narrative.
Don Jazzy revealed that Ayra’s song was recorded before the release of MIL album so she couldn’t have possibly sampled it.
He quoted the tweet and wrote,
“First things first Wiz is definitely an inspiration to every artist from Nigeria in the last decade and beyond but this particular sample is from The website Splice. Almost every new producer gets samples from there. Ayra’s song was recorded way before MIL came out too sir.”

Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Boboye Oyeyemi, has said that the agency is set to clamp down on wanted traffic offenders who have yet to pay their fines.
In a statement issued by the Corps spokesman, Bisi Kazeem, Mr. Oyeyemi said that the corps would go after wanted offenders as from Monday, January 25.
NAN reports that Mr. Oyeyemi had on Friday January 22 held the year’s first “Strategy Session of Zonal Commanding Officers and Sector Commanders on Zero Tolerance to Crashes in 2021’’.
The FRSC boss said that the offenders, who were already declared wanted after exceeding the days of grace period from the dates of arrests and issuance of Notice of Offence tickets, were now being looked for by the corps operatives.
He noted that offenders who voluntarily reported at any of the FRSC offices nationwide and made payment would not be prosecuted.
He said that names of the offenders would be uploaded from the Corps Duty Room Information and Management System (DRIMS) in the next 48 hours.
“It follows that beginning from Monday, January 25, 2021 all commands shall commence the arrest of the targeted offenders, which will include home arrest where necessary, deploying the New Vehicle Identification System (NVIS).
“Offenders with genuine handicaps will be handled with compassion that the case deserves, ” he said. Mr. Oyeyemi said that some offenders booked to pay fines and given dates to report ended up not showing up as their confiscated documents might not be important to them.
“For instance a document such as vehicle licence, which is not expensive to procure, could be forfeited by any offender when he or she is fined N15,000 for committing a traffic offence and the offender can easily afford another document.
“Such offenders would be declared wanted because we have all the information we need to arrest and we will go after them. That is what we are set to do as we will upload their names from the DRIMS,” he said.
Mr. Oyeyemi said that the corps had re-engineered the NVIS such that the data had become more responsive to the detection of foul practices.
He, however, noted that a total of 279 stolen vehicles were recovered in the past six years and handed over to the appropriate authorities for further investigation.
He, therefore, urged stakeholders in the vehicle registration process to ensure that the required detailed information about vehicle ownership was obtained before issuance of number plates.

Former presidential aide, Doyin Okupe is still speaking about his son, Bolu Okupe, who recently came out as a gay man.
Recall that Doyin Okupe released a statement yesterday stating that he is vehemently opposed to homosexuality, shared a new post on social media this morning where he prayed for his son, Bolu, and stated that Bolu isn’t a criminal and that he lives in France where homosexuality isn’t a crime.
Doyin who was in the Goodluck Jonathan government that signed the anti-gay law in 2014, wrote;
”I love all the children God has given me, Bolu inclusive.
I pray for them to excel in their fields of endevours.
Bolu will still be celebrated on this wall, in Nigeria and globally, in the name of Jesus.
I believe the Scriptures and the Holy Bible assures me in Isaiah 3 vs 10:
TELL THE RIGHTEOUS, IT SHALL BE WELL WITH HIM.
All my children shall be for great signs and wonders in Jesus Name.
Bolu is not a criminal. He lives in France where Homosexuality is not a crime.
His present mind set and sexual orientation does not conform to Christian Doctrine which I hold to with my life. But I am certain that with the boldness he has made his declaration, he will still use same attribute to serve God and boldly declare His Glory in Christ Jesus.

Don Davis’ mother, Deborah Okezie has taken to her social media page to blast Apostle Johnson Suleman after he accused her of blackmailing former presidential spokesperson, Reno Omokri with her claim of him calling and asking her to apologize to Pastor W.F Kumuyi on pages of newspapers for going public with the abuses her son faced in a Deeper Life Secondary School he owns.

Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, has given an explanation to why the white pigeons’ President Buhari released during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration in Abuja last week failed to fly.
Recall that President Buhari trended last week on social media after the pigeons refused to fly despite several attempts by the President . Many Nigerians on social media described the incident as a “bad omen”. Some even said the pigeons refused to fly because they weren’t sure of their safety outside the cage.
In an article titled ‘Reflection from a wreath-laying ceremony,’ Adesina described the pigeons’ refusal to fly as “a natural phenomenon”.
His article in part reads;
“Now, something for those who twist my every word, turn it upside down, to generate hatred. Something for them to wail about. The release of the pigeons.
At every Armed Forces Remembrance Day, after the laying of the wreaths, the sitting President releases some pigeons, to symbolise peace in the land. Emblems of National harmony. It was not different last Friday.
The pigeons had been kept in a cage. For how long, I do not know. And when birds and some other roaming animals have been circumscribed for a while, they get accustomed to their new status as lawful captives. Therefore, when you offer them freedom, they first baulk, thinking it’s too good to be true. It’s a natural phenomenon.
President Buhari opened the cage that held the pigeons, about a score or so. One hesitated, then flew, followed by another. The others temporised a bit. And then, two, three minutes later, they all took to the sky. Nothing extraordinary in the development, you would think.”
