The coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the world as cases are still on the rise in Nigeria.
However, a lady who apparently tested positive to the virus has shared a video in which she seemed super excited upon admittance at the Isolation Center.
In the video she shared, the lady gushed over the air-conditioned environment and proudly showed off her bed space.
Though the location and time of the recording remains unknown, social media users are wondering what exactly, the lady was excited over.
Popular Instagram comedian, Cute Abiola has shared some major throwback pictures of himself during his days of humble beginnings.
In the photos, the IG sensation who turned 24 recently, definitely wasn’t living his best life at the time and there’s a striking contrast between what he looked like then and now.
According to him, people shouldn’t give up cause there’s a reason. He uses his photos as reference.
In his words,
“NEVER GIVE UP…E GET WHY”
His followers have since reacted to his throwback pictures as lots of them found the photos hilarious while some were grateful to God for his life.
A user on Twitter took to the account to narrate how his neighbor, a mother of four kids abandoned her kids in pretense to go buy mango only for him to wait till late night for her, without her returning.
His tweet caused people to react to the unexpected situation as some feel something might have happened to the woman on her way to buy the fruit, given that the security situation in the country is really fragile.
Others feel that she may have willingly abandoned her children after packing their luggage in a bag and laying them outside the house.
Some people have also suggested that the man keeps the children with him till there is news on the whereabouts of their mother.
Reacting to this, the gentleman asked if anyone would stand up for him if anything goes wrong, should in case people start accusing him of kidnapping the children.
So it looks like there’s some sorta subtle shade going on between Nigerian music acts, Burna Boy and Davido following recent posts they made on their respective social media pages.
Afropop singing sensation and record label boss, Davido had taken to his page earlier to announce that he’s up to something and will be letting the cat out of the bag come July…
He took to his story to share a series of snaps and judging from it, it feels like he might be dropping either a song, an EP or an album come July. See below,
Not long after his post, Afro-fusion singer, Burna Boy took to his own page to drop a cryptic message that references “July”. In it, he says the month will be very funny and he’ll laugh accordingly when the time comes. His post,
This served as the first phase of why some people think Burna Boy might have taken a swipe at the “Nwa Baby” crooner but not many read meaning to it… not until Davido took to his page to share a photo of himself and singer, Wizkid dubbing the both of them the greatest of all time in the music scene.
Davido, sharing a photo of himself with Wizkid is a rather seldom act which fans get to see as over time, there’s been speculations that there’s an underlying beef between the both of them over who’s better in the music scene.
However, some years back, the pair both graced each other’s stages during their concerts which led many to believe that there might not be animosity between the both of them..
Davido’s post both on his Twitter and Instagram pages has since gained massive attention on social media and not long after he posted the photo, Burna Boy also took to his SnapChat to share yet another cryptic message which has people believing that he’s definitely throwing a shade at “Daddy Ifeanyi“.
He wrote,
you cannot play football, everybody knows you cannot play football and you are an embarrassment to the team But your daddy bought the football team
It should be recalled that Burna Boy —self acclaimed African Giant— not long ago, proved himself to be a big fan of Wizkid when there was a battle of hits which featured the “Joro” singer and Jamaican recording artist, Vybes Kartel — a battle the singer won flawlessly.
The situation with Davido and Burna Boy has since become a trending topic on Twitter with a lot of their fans giving their takes on their subtle posts.
See some reactions below,
Burna wey use Fela styles get small relevant dey accuse Davido?
The same Davido that hustle his way up without depending on his mom and her past connect?
The same Davido wey don help more than one musician enter stardom?
Yes, his father paid Nigerians to like his songs. He also gave money for sub to download his songs. I understand Burna Boy's anger. His anger is justified. https://t.co/KkxJtVXDpN
Nigerian sensation and record label executive, Davido Adeleke took to his social media page to introduce his followers to the 2 GOATs of African music.
The singer took to his social media pages to share an animated photo with his greatest counterpart, singer, Wizkid.
The photo which was photoshopped, shows him and Wizkid donned in traditional attires.
He tagged Wizkid in the photo as he called himself and the “Joro” crooner, the two greatest of all times.
“The 2 greatest of all time ! No ?” he wrote.
The rivalry on social media between Davido and Wizkid’s fans have made many people feel that the two are at war personally.
It should be recalled that some three years back, Davido and Wizkid brought each other out to perform at their concerts, debunking rumours about them fighting.
Davido’s photo on his page has yet again proven that perhaps all is well between the both of them.

At a point in the history of man’s existence, kings battled with one another for supremacy. These battles were also about protecting and giving the best to their people.
Many years after, things have taken a different turn. The same energies used to fight those supremacy wars is a unifying factor for kingdoms now. Everyone is working together to give the best and provide optimal satisfaction for their people.
Recently, two kings – itel Mobile and Olamide came together to give people the best of both kingdoms. The arrangement unites both kings and makes Olamide the face of the joint kingdom. For the enjoyment of everyone around them.
Interestingly, the partnership creates a strong kingdom where love, compassion, and the shared creation of value shape how people live their lives in the kingdom. And both brands are stronger together as one united family.
“We are delighted to have Olamide in the itel Mobile family at this time. The choice of Olamide as the face of our brand is based on the many similarities between both brands. Both brands are Real Kings, blessed with a community of hardworking and aspirational individuals.” said Oke Umurhohwo, Marketing Communications Manager (West Africa), itel Mobile, on the partnership.
itel and Olamide appeal to the same market. Their offerings (smartphones and songs) are shaped by the need to enhance people’s lifestyles and aid in their quest for success. And inclusion isn’t a problem- there is room for everyone to join and enjoy a world powered by both brands.
Because the relationship isn’t about domination, the real kings rule with the interest of the people at heart. It is the people first, and this contributes to the value and impact of the partnership between the smartphone brand for everyone and the famous Afro-pop artist.
The itel and Olamide partnership spices things up for people in the kingdom. And these real kings are more than ready for a long rule together in one kingdom. To serve you better.
NOllywood Actress, Didi Ekanem has advised ladies to use their body to serve God while they still can.
According to the beautiful screen diva, ladies should stop using their beauty for the wrong reasons other than the kingdom purpose
Her post reads ;
Do you ever just wonder why God created you with a special kind of beauty ? A special kind of beauty is a rare gift of beauty.
The kind of beauty that commands influence, attention. A self promoting beauty. The kind of beauty that has a voice. Not every woman is gifted with this kind of beauty.
Amongst all the beautiful women in the Bible, only 2 women had this kind of beauty…. Sarah and Bethsheba. Sarah was overwhelmingly beautiful. Her beauty made her famous amongst the Egyptians. Everyone who saw her fell in love with her. Her beauty was self promoting.
•
•
Any woman who is gifted with this kind of beauty should understand that you are given the beauty for a kingdom purpose. Stop using your beauty for the wrong reasons. Stop using your beauty for material gains. Stop misusing the gift of your beauty. •
•
Some of you have rejected God who gave you that beauty. You have rejected His ways. You don’t want to submit to God after all the opportunities your beauty has given you. You won’t even pray or worship God. You have become so busy for the things of God because you are always booked. •
•
I tell you, it is very dangerous to have the gift of beauty if you don’t know God and you don’t have humility because everyone will want a piece of you. Beauty has a prize and if you do not know God, that beauty will kill the purpose you are here on earth for. Your body is the temple of God that is why God took His time to decorate you with beauty. •
•
As a woman, you are very powerful and influential. Your beauty is your power. Use your power to influence men to the kingdom of God and you will be greatly rewarded. Don’t allow satan to use your beauty to sell his kingdom. Use your influence as a woman to glorify God. And I pray that God will help to realise the purpose of your beauty and use it wisely. ?
