Nigerian music star, 2baba, who is regarded as a legend by many has spoken on another artiste he feels also deserves legendary status.
Nigeria is a society where many people hold humility and respect dear and it is the same in the entertainment industry with people giving veterans legendary status while leaving the young ones behind.
According to the African Queen crooner, top singer Ayo Balogun (Wizkid) is a music star who is also a legend. 2baba said that Wizkid is a legend of his generation and that he does not use the word to describe him lightly.
2baba also said that Wizkid is lyrically there but that he is only giving his fans what they want to hear. In his words:
“Wizkid is one of the legends of his generation, and I don’t use that word ‘legend’ lightly. In as much as I want to say every one is a legend these days, they don water that word ‘legend’ down. Anybody wey just get one hit now na legend, but I use that word for Wizkid.”

The rapper, who recently got verified on Twitter after issuing a three-day ultimatum to the administrators of the micro-blogging platform, revealed how guys would know whether they are the main guy or the side guy with a lady.
The rapper pointed out that if a lady doesn’t engage in oral sex with a guy, he should know he is the side guy.
A married nursery worker who had sex with a 13-year-old boy and had his baby, has been exposed.
20-year-old Leah Cordice from Windsor, who was studying child care while working at the local nursery drunkenly walked into the boy’s bedroom where he was playing computer games and pulled down his trousers before having sex with him, the court heard.
It was also claimed that she continued having unprotected intercourse with the child twice a month for a year, even while she was pregnant and after she gave birth to a girl.
Her husband believed the child was his but a later DNA test showed that the schoolboy was actually the father, Reading Crown Court heard.
Prosecutors told how the boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, had later said to police in interview: ‘You are supposed to have sex and, like, love each other. It was just like, she just wanted to do it. Now I feel like she did not really care about me.’
The jury also heard how the woman went to the boy’s house drunk in January 2017 and pulled his trousers down while he was playing computer games. She was 17 at that time.
‘Matters only came to the attention of the local authority, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council, in the course of family proceedings in relation to Ms Cordice’s child.
‘DNA testing revealed that her child is the complainant’s biological daughter.’
Cordice and the boy continued having unprotected sex roughly twice a month until the start of 2018, the court heard, a few weeks before the boy, who had turned 14, was interviewed by police.
Ms Ong, speaking of the police interview, told the jury: ‘The boy said that he and Ms Cordice started having sexual intercourse when he was 13 years old.
‘The defendant, Ms Cordice, was drunk, she went around to his address, she went into his bedroom and at first, they talked normally and he continued playing on his Xbox and watching YouTube.
‘Ms Cordice then sat on his bed and started to hug him and kiss him and it carried on.
‘He said, “I could not really say no. She would have kept asking and asking me to have sex”. Afterwards, he felt that it was a bit weird and that she did not say anything to him afterwards.’
The court also heard that the boy was the first person Cordice told that she was pregnant. The mother of one also showed him an app on her phone which disclosed the date she had conceived was the first time they had had sex.
Even after Cordice got married to her long-term partner, she continued having sex with the boy.

The bereaved mother of former Remo Stars football club player, Tiamiyu Kazeem, who was killed in a faceoff with some SARS officers over the weekend, has said that operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) had attempted to arrest her son two weeks before his death.
She said this when Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, paid her family a condolence visit on Tuesday February 25th.
“Two weeks before his death, my son complained that operatives of SARS usually surround his car. In fact, he called his father on many of these occasions. There was a certain day that his elder brother’s wife put to bed and he was at the hospital. Just as he went in, I was called that SARS operatives had surrounded his car. I rose and went there and on getting there, I met them.
I called one of their bosses immediately because, during Gbenga Daniel’s tenure, I served all policemen in the state souvenirs whenever they had meetings. So, he told them to leave my son alone and they did. They told me they were sorry and I told them they should be sorry for themselves.”
Recounting how her son died, the distraught mother said
“He woke up on that Saturday morning and said he wanted to get to his manager’s place. After he left, I called him around a few minutes past 11 am to tell that him his food was ready. The person with him said he stepped down from his vehicle to buy something and before he came back, there were SARS operatives seated in his car.
They took his phone and interrogated him. He told them he was a footballer. And he was whisked to Abeokuta in their vehicle during which the incident happened.”
A Kenyan actor, Dan Sonko has spoken out for the first time after moving on with another woman following his wife’s death.
He is currently dating a fellow actor Winfred Bwire, who is his late wife’s best friend.
His wife passed away in 2017 after giving birth to their second child as she slipped into a coma. Her body was unable to create any platelets following weak brain signals to the rest of her organs. She was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where she passed on while receiving treatment.
In an interview with Massawe Japanni of Radio Jambo on Monday, February 24, Dan stated that he was the one who made a move on Winfred and it took time for her to accept his request.
The father of two also revealed that he took off his wedding ring years after Dru passed on to start a relationship with Bwire and that they have been together for five months now.
Taking to his Facebook page today, he shared a link to the interview, describing it as ‘extremely hot and sensitive’
“I Loved yesterday’s interview on Radio Jambo.
The topic was extremely hot and sensitive. The questions were hard hitting and precise. All in all, when one let’s God in and speaks from the heart, everything comes out with razor sharp clarity.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out the link below.
Na wale wa makasiriko, tutawaombea tu.” he wrote.
On her part, Bwire revealed that they were friends before he met his wife Dru.
“I KNEW DAN THROUGH THE ACTING INDUSTRY AND HIS WIFE (DRU) WAS MY BEST FRIEND. HE DIDN’T MOVE ON FAST AFTER LOSING HER. I DON’T THINK I’VE BETRAYED HER BECAUSE WHEN SHE WAS STILL ALIVE I NEVER HAD ANY ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH HER HUSBAND. I ALSO NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD BE MY LOVER AT ANY POINT IN LIFE BECAUSE HE HAD A FAMILY AT THAT TIME” he stated.
The actress also said that she’s in good terms with Dan’s children.
“MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS KIDS IS GOOD AND HIS FIRSTBORN KNEW ME FROM WAY BACK. DAN HUWA ANAMKUMBUKA MKEWE LAKINI HUWA NAMPA HIMIZO [DAN KEEPS ON THINKING ABOUT HIS WIFE BUT I COMFORT HIM]” She added.
Bwire also shared link to the interview.
“Thank you so much for having us RADIO JAMBO Massawe Japanni
Greatest lesson I took home- Do you…
Your Happiness comes first. People will give their opinions on all matters life but at the end of the day it’s yours that counts.
Dear Human,
If it puts a smile on your face- GO FOR IT!!
If it helps you sleep better at night – GO FOR IT!!!
If it makes you feel ZEN- Damn it!! GO FOR IT!!!
Just GO FOR IT!!!” She wrote
Meanwhile, Dan Sonko once told off a fan who said he has moved on so fast after losing his wife. The fan identified as Miss Kahacho, who claimed to have known Dru wrote;
“I think you have moved on so fast…I miss your life”
Dan responded saying:
“I USUALLY IGNORE SUCH COMMENTS BUT I WILL JUST MENTION THAT AS MUCH AS YOU BE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION, THERE ARE AREAS THAT YOU HAVE NO JURISDICTION… MATTERS OF GRIEVING ARE DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL. I LOVED DRU DEARLY AND IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS NOW. IF THE TIME IS SHORT FOR YOU, THEN MAYBE WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A SIMILAR ORDEAL, YOU CAN CHART YOUR OWN PATH. INTERESTING THAT YOU SAY YOU MISS HER YET WE DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU…BUT THAT IS BESIDE THE POINT. I HAVE MOVED ON AFTER I HAVE MADE WHAT MATTERS MOST. BE WELL, BE BLESSED AND DO YOU.”

Former Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for 30-years before he was ousted by the military in 2011, has died at 91.
Mubarak passed away at a military hospital following reports he had been taken to an intensive care unit following complications from a surgery he underwent last month.
His death was confirmed by Egyptian state news on Tuesday, February 25.
Mubarak, who served as president from 1981 to 2011, and played a major role in Egypt’s recent history, was arrested in April 2011 two months after being ousted from office. He was later sentenced to life in prison after he found guilty of complicity in the killing of protesters during the revolution. In 2017, he was acquitted after six years in prison.
Despite the political repression as well as a high rate of unemployment, poverty, and corruption under his regime, he was considered far more tolerant than Egypt’s current ruler, Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi.

A group, Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AFAW) has said that witchcraft does not exist and it is a myth.
In an interview with PM news, the leader of the group, Leo Igwe, said the act of killing women and children on suspection that they are witches is barbaric and must be stopped. He added that witchcraft and other forms of harms believed to have been caused by occultic activities, are based on hearsay and misinformation, panic and anxieties, fear and superstition.
“AFAW uses a secular, humanist, skeptical and human rights approach to examine witchcraft narratives and address related abuses. Our campaign is founded on the principles that witchcraft is a myth and an imaginary crime which no one commits.
“It is founded in the principles that attributions or causing harm through occult means are based on hearsay and misinformation, panic and anxieties, fear and superstition.
“Witch persecution, killings and trials are forms of human rights abuses that should not be tolerated in the name of religion, culture or tradition. I urge all Africans as well as none Africans, including all Africans in the diaspora to join efforts with us to achieve this important objective,” Igwe said
There was a hive of activity at Old Trafford in late January as they hurried to negotiate and then finalise the paperwork on their latest signing. This would turn out to be Odion Ighalo, who is joining United on loan from the Chinese team Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season.
Ighalo later admitted that he took a pay cut to get the opportunity to play for the Red Devils, who he has been a supporter of his entire life. While it may be the dream opportunity for the Nigerian striker, is his presence in the United squad going to help them resolve their problems?
A Bad Season
Having slipped down the table in recent weeks, United are now 6th favourite to make it into the Premier League’s top 4 this season. They had been sitting in the middle of the table going into the winter break, but have since climbed back up to 7th.
Competing for a top 4 space is an unusual place for United to be, given that they are the most successful club in the Premier League. Yet this year, it seems like it may be a struggle for them to even get a place in the Europa League.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not had a good run this year, with less than two thirds of the goals scored by table topping Liverpool, and twice as many put in the United net. This has left them with a goal difference of just 9, on par with 5th place Tottenham Hotspur.
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, predicted this problem in October when he told Sky Sports that United have a weakness up front.
Can Ighalo Help Ease the Woes?
Things didn’t get off to a great start for the Nigerian, who was left in the UK while the other United players headed to Malaga for some training in the warmer weather. Unfortunately, Ighalo was left in the UK as club officials had been concerned he would be denied re-entry to the country due to his time spent in China. He was able to play in the game against Chelsea though.
Ighalo is a proven goalscorer. During his time in China, he scored 36 goals from 55 appearances with Changchun Yatai and 10 goals from 17 while at Shanghai Shenhua. He also managed 33 from 82 while playing for Watford between 2014 and 2017. Ighalo was also the top scorer in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. Success at Old Trafford will rely on his ability to replicate and build on this performance for United.
During the game against Chelsea on 17th February, Ighalo spent the full 90 minutes on the bench, but was brought on in stoppage time. With just 5 minutes of gameplay, Ighalo managed a shot at goal from the centre of the box, but it was saved by Chelsea’s keepers Willy Caballero.
A goal in his debut game would have been an even bigger dream come true for Ighalo, who would have had a psychological boost from it. That said, he shouldn’t be too disheartened given that he managed an attempt in the short time he had on the pitch.
It’s still too early to tell whether Ighalo will play a major role in turning the tide for Untied, but the early signs have been promising.
A Long Term Solution?
Ighalo is currently only on loan to United until the end of the season. However Solskjaer has hinted at the possibility of retaining him permanently if he manages to impress over the coming weeks.
It will therefore be up to Ighalo to grasp every opportunity he’s given and knock as many goals in as he can. Motivation doesn’t seem to be a problem for him, and he has also demonstrated that he has the talent. The key will be pulling it all together, and being able to work with the others in the squad to get the job done.
The job might also be a little easier for Ighalo and United, as the Top 5 might be enough. With Manchester City receiving a ban from UEFA tournaments, it is likely that the 5th place team will be making it to the Champions League next year.
The Nasarawa Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), has arrested a 26-year-old man for attempting to kill his biological mother in Lafia, the state’s capital.
Parading the suspect identified as Kamaldin Abu Sabo before newsmen, the State’s NSCDC commandant, Mahmud Gidado Fari said he threatened to kill his mother on numerous occassions.
Fari added;
“That is why we have arrested him and would soon charge him to court. It is wrong for anybody to say that he would kill another person. What makes this case different is that she is his biological mother”
The suspect who denied the allegation against him, accused him elder brother of reporting him to the agency.
Kamaldin said;
“I am living on Shendam Road in Lafia. I dropped out from Government College Keffi. I am a Tailor and did not attempt to kill my biological mother. And I did not agree with the statement of the NSCDC that my mother reported me; it was my elder brother who reported me to the NSCDC.
“I had the tattoo because of the fancy I have for it, but I am not a cultist.”
He however couldn’t explain why he had many scars on his face and body.
A Twitter user took to the platform to say that any guy who doesn’t give his girlfriend “daily pocket money and weekly allowances” shouldn’t be having a girlfriend in the first place.
He tweeted:
“If you’re a guy, and you don’t give your girlfriend daily pocket money and weekly allowances… at least 200k weekly, you don’t need a girlfriend .. go and work. You don’t deserve that girl bro. No cap.”
His tweet was met with criticisms from his followers and other Twitter users.
Ghanaian actress, Grace Omaboe has stated that any man who washes panties of his wife is cursed and it’ll be very difficult for such man to achieve success in life.
Mrs Omaboe made this revelation in an interview with Arnold Elavanyo Mensah on Vibes In 5 as she warned young men against washing female panties, an act she claims has curses attached to it.
According to Grace Omaboe, if she ever sees her son washing the panties of his wife, she would hit him in the face.
The actress backed her claim with the Bible in the interview with Vibes in Five, stated that the scriptures was clear on men being the head of the family, hence why they shouldn’t stoop so low in washing panties. She said;
“No, No, it will be hard luck on the man if he washes his wife’s underpants and everything of the man will go bad.
“It will have spiritual implications and everything of the man will not go on well for him”.
“I will take the things from my son and slap him with it. I will ask him if he’s a fool to be washing his wife’s panties, I will ask him that Kwabena are you a fool?”
The memorial service for Kobe Brayant and his daughter Gianna is currently holding at Staples Center with thousands of people in attendance including famous celebrities.

They were on their way to basketball practice when the helicopter they were in crashed, killing everyone on board.
Vanessa Bryant has paid an emotional tribute to her late husband Kobe and daughter Gianna at their memorial service.
Speaking on Monday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Vanessa who fought back tears started by thanking the crowd before mourning the loss of her daughter.
In her words ;
“Thank you so much for being here. It means so much to us, the outpouring of love and support from around the world has been so uplifting,” she said before sharing memories first of Gianna. “My baby girl, Gianna Bryant, is an amazingly sweet and gentle soul, she would kiss me every morning and every night.”
“She was daddy’s girl but I know she loved mama, and she would always show me and tell me how much she loved me,” she continued. “She was one of my very best friends.”
“Her smile took up her entire face, like mine,” she said. “Kobe always said she was me she had my fire, my personality… she was tender and loving on the inside. She had the best laugh, it was infectious, it was pure and genuine. Kobe and Gianna naturally gravitated toward each other.”
“She was a nice person, a leader, a teacher … she gave the best hugs and kisses,” she remembered, fighting back tears. ” … I miss looking at her beautiful face.”
“I won’t be able to see her go to high school with [sister] Natalia, I won’t be able to see her walk down the aisle,” she continued, breaking down in tears. “Or have a father daughter-dance with her daddy and have babies of her own. Gianna would’ve been an amazing mommy. … She probably would have been the best player in the WNBA. She would have made a huge difference in the way women are viewed in sports.”
She also emotionally remembered her late husband, Kobe.
“Now for my soulmate. Kobe was known for being a fierce competitor on the basketball court, the greatest of all time, a writer, and Oscar winner and the Black Mamba, but to me, he was Kob-Kob, my boo-boo, may bae-boo, my papi-chulo,” she said through tears.
“I was his vee-bee, his principesa, his reina, his queen mamba. I couldn’t see him as a celebrity, nor as an incredible basketball player, he was my sweet husband and the beautiful father of our children. He was mine. He was my everything.
Kobe and I have been together since I was 17 and a half years old. I was his first girlfriend, his first love, his wife, his best friend, his confidant and his protector. He was the most amazing husband. Kobe loved me more than I could ever express or put into words.”
“He happily did carpool, he was a doting father, he was a father that was hands-on and present,” she shared. “He shared a love of movies and the break-down of films with Natalia. He loves your typical tear-jerkers, Steel Magnolias, Little Women … he had a tender heart.”
“I want my daughters to remember the amazing husband and father he was,” she said. “… He also liked working on projects to improve people’s lives.”
Vanessa broke down in tears when she talked about Kobe and Gianna dying together.
“God knew they couldn’t be on this earth without each other,” she said. “He had to bring them home to him together. Babe, you take care of our Gigi. I got Natalia, Bianka and Capri. We’re still the best team. We love and miss you boo-boo and Gigi. May you both rest in peace and have fun in heaven. Until we meet again, we love and miss you forever and always.”
They dared to support an idea that most thought was crazy. To all the go-getters out there, this one is for us.
