Olawale Ashimi a.k.a Brymo has declared his unwavering loyalty and admiration for the present Nigerian government under the leadership of President Tinubu.
The crooner on his Instagram handle detailed why the president is his ‘Greatest of All Time’ and has earned his staunch respect following the reversion of the National Anthem.
President Asiwaju Tinubu

It was this that made Brymo glad as he explained how the new anthem held more significance than the previous. He highlighted some verses of the anthem that bring out the patriotic spirit and unity of the various tribal sects in the nation.

Social media commentator, Daniel Regha has reacted to the letter The Coalition of Orphanages and Children’s Home in Nigeria wrote to singer Davido.
The singer had shared an image of the letter on X (Twitter) which has gotten different reactions from netizens, including Daniel Regha.
A part of the letter contained the following;
“Our heartfelt appreciation for your financial support to the Coalition of Orphanages and Children’s Homes in Nigeria (COCHIN)
In reference to the above, we write on behalf of the above association (the umbrella body of Orphanages and Children’s Homes in Nigeria), to acknowledge the receipt of your support funds to our members across the country in the month of February 2024.
We are pleased to inform you that a total of 42 orphanages out of the 52 under the coalition benefitted from the funds support.”
Daniel Regha responded to the singer’s post, by pointing out that the letter he received was an appreciation letter and not an acknowledgment letter.
He went further to explain that, this doesn’t guarantee that the Orphanage homes have received the sum he promised to donate.
His tweet read;
“Davido the above letter is looking more of a praise than acknowledgment; The Coalition of Orphanages and Children’s Homes in Nigeria has dropped a letter, but there’s no accountability to show that ur donations were utilized (if made). At least half of the beneficiaries should acknowledge publicly. No offense.”

Nigerian lady exclaims after finding ladies in a restaurant disregarded the no-picture restriction policy in Lagos.
Sharing on TikTok, the lady identified as @brownofficial__ stated she had gone to the luxurious restaurant to eat lunch when she discovered a large amount of ladies taking pictures.
In the video shared, different ladies could be seen in the corners of the restaurant taking pictures and changing their outfits without taking permission from the restaurant.

The video captioned,
“The crowd was crazy !! Lagos people pls try to use sense while doing your things because, these are part of the reasons why they dont allow pictures anywhere again.”
The restaurant permits their customers to act freely but Lagosians tend to misuse the opportunity, taking pictures despite the no pictures restriction policy, turning the restaurant into a marketplace.

Netizens expressed disappointment as the restaurants tend to make no sales because the majority come to the restaurant to take pictures for content creation. Many opine that restaurants with picture restrictions have minimum revenue.
Yo Lagos! Forget everything you think you know about Casablanca. Those dusty Medina scenes from classic movies? Yeah, that’s just one side of the story. The real Casablanca is a vibrant, pulsating city brimming with hidden treasures, authentic experiences, and a whole lot of soul. And guess what? Royal Air Maroc has just made getting there a breeze.
Imagine this: you touch down at the swanky Mohammed V International Airport, ready to jump headfirst into a Moroccan adventure. Casablanca, or “Casa” as the locals call it, welcomes you with open arms. Ditch the tour buses and hail a sleek white taxi (metered, just like ours!). The city unfolds before you – wide boulevards lined with cool cafes, art deco architecture reminiscent of Lagos’ Marina, and the melodic calls of street vendors selling everything from fresh-squeezed orange juice to intricately woven carpets.
Forget the ‘Gram, Let’s Talk Real Food
Sure, tagines are a Moroccan staple, and you’ll find them in all their flavourful glory here. But Casablanca’s culinary scene goes way beyond the expected. Missing a taste of home? Head to the Maârif district, a haven for hidden gems serving up jollof rice so good, it’ll rival anything you find in Lekki. Craving suya? You got it – the smoky, spicy goodness will have you reminiscing about Ikeja backstreets.
Feeling adventurous? Dive into the heart of the Medina, a maze-like labyrinth of narrow streets packed with spice shops, bustling markets, and hidden courtyards. Here, you can sample the freshest seafood hauled in that morning, or tantalise your taste buds with steaming bowls of bessara – a hearty fava bean soup that’s the perfect pick-me-up after a morning of exploration. Hmmn! delicious.
Come nightfall, Casablanca’s trendy bar scene comes alive. Sip on fragrant mint tea while watching the sunset paint the Atlantic a fiery orange. Or, channel your inner Lagosian nightlife connoisseur and hit up one of the city’s many rooftop lounges for cocktails with a view. From pulsating nightclubs to laid-back jazz bars, Casablanca caters to every vibe.
Secret Spots and Hidden Treasures: The Real Casablanca
Casablanca might be known for its Hollywood portrayal, but the real city offers so much more. History buffs will geek out at the sprawling Hassan II Mosque, the third-largest in the world. Its towering minaret and intricate tilework are a true masterpiece of Moroccan craftsmanship. And of course, there’s Rick’s Cafe Americain – a must-see replica for any Casablanca movie fan (plus, the cocktails are not bad at all). There are also the majestic peaks of the Atlas Mountains and vibrant Berber culture in Morocco to explore amongst other exciting spots.
But the magic of Casablanca lies beyond the tourist hotspots. Wander through the Habbous Quarter, a charming neighbourhood with whitewashed houses adorned with intricate wrought-iron balconies. Here, you’ll find artisan workshops where skilled craftsmen create everything from hand-woven rugs to gleaming brass lamps. Haggle for souvenirs in the traditional souks, or simply soak up the atmosphere as you lose yourself in the vibrant fabric of Moroccan life.
Casablanca for the Budget-Conscious Adventurer
Thanks to Royal Air Maroc’s new connecting flights from Abuja, a Moroccan adventure is now more accessible than ever for the budget-conscious traveller. There are plenty of affordable riads (traditional Moroccan guesthouses) and boutique hotels offering a taste of local hospitality without breaking the bank. Think clean, comfortable rooms with traditional Moroccan decor, and maybe even a rooftop terrace where you can enjoy a steaming cup of mint tea while planning your day’s adventures.
A City on the Rise: The New Face of Casablanca
Casablanca is a city on the rise, a vibrant metropolis that blends tradition with cutting-edge modernity. It’s the perfect destination for the Lagosian who craves unique experiences and cultural immersion. Imagine posting envy-inducing pictures on your Instagram story – not from the London Eye, but from the breathtaking Hassan II Mosque and other picturesque destinations. Your friends will be asking, “Casablanca? But where are the dusty streets we saw in those old movies?” That’s the beauty of this city – it’s full of surprises.
Royal Air Maroc: Your Gateway to Unforgettable Experiences
Royal Air Maroc makes getting to Morocco a breeze. Their comfortable planes and friendly staff will ensure your journey is as enjoyable as your destination.

An allegation making rounds on the internet is of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria failing to provide quality food for her pilgrims after paying richly.
According to Babagana Digima, a Facebook user, after paying the sum of eight million naira, a meager meal of three akara balls and pap was served to the faithful.
Some of them ended up begging for money to buy proper food as the money they said they would be given there was also withheld.
In the post he shared on his Facebook account, he wrote,
“After paying N8m for Hajj see the breakfast that our pilgrims are being given! Nahcon Nigeria Fatima Mustapha. This what was given today 28th May 2024. In fact some pilgrims have already started begging to get money to buy food because even their remaining $300 that was promised to be paid to them in Saudi (out of $500) is not forthcoming from the authorities!”
Several people have been tagging the NAHCON chairperson, Fatima Mustapha, the claim that she debunked and shared a rather unusual meal of akara, bread, pap, and tea on her page as what they served.
Most do not know whom to believe between the pilgrims and the leader.
@Jibrin Alhaji Lilu Yusufari: Very Disappointed Wallahi.
@Fatima Ibrahim Haruna: This is sad. I pray this gets to the right authority for proper action.
@Faiza Saad Ahmed: is very true cuz 2 of my friends complained to me this morning of the same issue

Nigerian social media commentator Reno Omokri has shared via his page on X (Twitter) that nobody knows the secret to a happy marriage.
He also advised people not to compare their marital life to anybody’s union and do whatever works for them.
Reno went on to list names of successful in the world who didn’t have a happy marriage and are divorced.
In his opinion, some people can know the secret to success but nobody knows the secret to a happy marriage.
His post read;
“Charles III is a king, and he divorced. His siblings, Prince Andrew and Princess Anne, have also both been divorced. Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are billionaires, and they are divorced. Chris Oyakhilome is a pastor. Yet he divorced. Donald Trump is a President. Nevertheless, he divorced multiple times. The moral of the story is that some men know the secret to success, but nobody knows the secret to a happy marriage. It is obviously not royalty, money, power, or religion. So, don’t compare your marriage with anybody’s union. And do not look up to anyone’s marriage because you do not know the inside story. Just manage yourself and your marriage the best you can. Whatever works for you, as long as it is not a crime or sin, just jejely do it!.”
Nigerian rapper and singer, Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, known professionally as Zlatan Ibile celebrates 10 years in the entertainment industry since he left football.
Sharing via his Instagram page, the 29-year-old singer wrote a heartfelt message reflecting on his humble beginning over the decade. He had aspired to become a footballer before he started music.
The singer, who recently launched a store expressed his profound gratitude to the students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ogun state for helping him win a singing contest hosted by a telecommunication company, where he won his first car.
Zlatan disclosed that his musical breakthrough occurred in 2017 after a collaboration with senior colleague, YBNL boss, Olamide. He reminisces on his memories as he celebrates his ten-year journey.
He wrote,
“10 years ago, there was no Zlatan Ibile. All there was, was an aspiring footballer. Mapoly students believed in me by ensuring I won this contest! From then, everything changed from football to music. I did not have 2 personal songs let alone a hit until 2017 with Baddo. Thank you to every Mapoly student who stood by me. Thank you Day 1 Zlatanovaz. Can’t believe today makes it exactly 10 years already… And we’re still going strong. ZTTW!”
