The rapper took to Twitter last night to praise the unity in the Nigerian Music Industry and the way they promote and celebrate our culture around the World.
The 28-year-old hip hop star was replying to a tweet when he made the comment.
Popular South African rapper, Cassper Nyovest wowed his country people and others when he took to Twitter to reveal that he wishes he was from Nigerian because of the unison that lives in their music.
Cassper, who was nominated for the BET Best International Act award back in 2018, alongside two other Nigerian music artistes, Tiwa Savage and Davido, said in his tweet, he likes how Nigerians love and celebrate their own culture and indulge in it more.
He wrote in his tweet,

His tweet has been fazed with mixed reactions both from his countrymen and those from Nigeria – some touched on how he can change the narrative of music in his country, while others shared how a number of Nigerians are supportive of his music too.
Popular Nigerian comedian, Samuel Perry better known by his stage name, Broda Shaggi, is most definitely in the prime of his comic career as he continues to build a strong fan base with his contents on social media.
Shaggi, who about two years ago, wasn’t as prominent as he is now on social media has now become a force to reckon with when it comes to comedy in the country – on how he achieved such feat, he shared in recent interview.
In a chat with Punch’s Saturday Beats, Shaggi stated that beyond his creativity and hard work, his friendship and association with hip hop artiste, Davido, was among the things most responsible for his wide acceptance today.
He told Saturday Beats,
“Without a doubt, my association and friendship with Davido has significantly improved my brand.
“Davido is a great guy who is willing to support anyone that comes his way. Knowing and moving around with him has been a blessing for my brand.”
Also talking on how the situation had been with ladies throwing themselves at him, Shaggi, who hails from Ogun State, revealed that he had learnt to remain focused despite the attention he got from fans.
He added,
“It is not unusual for ladies to appreciate you in different ways if you are good at your craft and are famous.
“But as a person, I do my best to focus on my craft and find new ways I can improve.
“Trying to stay up there and make a bigger name has not been easy and it is only through focus that one can achieve that.
“My style of comedy is different and that is why I rely on God for inspiration in coming up with my skits.
“I am a strong believer in God. Anything I do, I put Him first and that is why I rely on Him for inspiration.”
A Nigerian woman delivered conjoined twins in Genyi Yandev, Gboko Local Government, Benue State recently and according to reports following her delivery, the conjoined twins consist of two heads, two legs and four hands.
A Reverend pastor, Teryange Nyaghve introduced her to N.K.S.T worshipers and asked the congregation to help her.
See photos below,
The case of Nigerian women giving birth to conjoined twins is not particularly rare in the country as there are a handful of cases that has been reported over time.
Earlier in May this year, a house wife, Habiba Usman, who resides in the Ningi local government area of Bauchi State was reported to birth conjoined twin girls.
Habiba’s husband, Suleiman Usman, who spoke to Daily Trust at the time, said she had a miscarriage two years ago and became pregnant last year.
Usman said that his wife showed slight signs of labour for about five days so he took her to the hospital where she was attending ante natal clinic.
“When we went to the hospital we were told to go for a scan and after the scan the doctors told us that she had to be operated upon after which they were delivered with the unusual twins. Since their birth, people have been trooping to the hospital to catch a glimpse and the thing is becoming unbearable because we have to call security to control people. We don’t know how we can cope when we are discharged from the hospital” he said
Speaking on the birth of the conjoined twins, the doctor who performed the operation to remove the twins, Dr Sama’ila Mato Jahun, said the decision to perform the ceasarean section to remove the twins followed a scan that revealed they were in an awkward position.
“When a scan was conducted, it showed that they were lying in a position that will not allow their passage through the birth canal so we recommended a CS to remove them. In the course of the operation we discovered that they are conjoined twins. They are healthy but they have only one stomach, four arms, and three legs. So their physiology is very delicate,” he said
Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky has declared himself a part and parcel of transgender people.
The 27-year-old made this revelation via Instagram. Sharing a video of himself cooking, he wrote: “What a woman can do, a TRANSGENDER can do better. Don’t laugh.”
Featuring Bobrisky in movies akin to celebrating mediocrity – Fidelis Duker
Filmmaker and organiser of the Abuja International Film Festival, Fidelis Duker, is not happy that popular cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, is being featured in Nigerian films. He stated that much on his social media page during the week.
Clarifying his position in a chat with Sunday Scoop, Duker said, “We should not glamourise such things. We have children who are growing. As a father, these are not the kinds of things I want my children to learn. It is alien to our culture. I don’t see any reason why a man would dress like a woman. Some people defend him and say he is only ‘acting’, but as for me, it’s not appropriate.
“For those who have featured him (Bobrisky) in their movies, they are only exploiting his popularity, especially on social media. They are not using him because he is a fantastic actor. It’s not good enough that we celebrate mediocrity. There are a lot of cases of rape and other vices now, and it is because of things like this. We need to understand that our moral values are very important to us. I expect that the movie industry should be a platform where morals, values and ethics should be the focal points. Unfortunately, what you find in most of the films is that they celebrate immorality.”

A Nigerian lady has been plunged into dismay after she discovered her husband was born without a penis just after their wedding.
According to one Iadikwu, who took to twitter to share the story, the lady’s husband was born with no penis and did not inform the lady before marrying her. And to bear children, she was persuaded to have intercourse with his brother. Twitter user @iadikwu shared the story online.

“A lady just separated from one of my village brothers. The reason/cause: Inability to consummate the Union; he was born with a defect (no penis). She’s persuaded to bear him children via his brother. Ladies please check him before you say Yes.
Popular lawyer, Maurice Ampaw has alleged that ‘only foolish men lick private parts of women’.
According to Maurice Ampaw who was speaking in an interview with Kumasi FM, the individuals he described as “foolish, perverted and abnormal” have no place in the circles of reasonable people.
He also urged Ghanaians to report people engaging in oral sex to the police, to effect their arrest.
“Such matters are not reported because it often involves two willing individuals and so there are no complainants; but if you have any evidence of such acts rush to the police to report it”, he said.
He also recalled how he defended a lady who was arrested in 2016 for biting off the penis of a commander of the Ghana National Fire Service in Techiman, Mr Eric Ansah Andoh. The Ghanaian celebrity lawyer said he went to court to defend the lady and won because the man had no business sticking his penis in her mouth.
“There is no place for the penis or vagina in anybody’s mouth, so if they bite it off or transmit any diseases” in the process, the law would not hold them for any harm..

Thelma’s eviction makes it the seventh in the Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem edition which kicked off on June 30, 2019.
Thelma Bio
26-year-old Thelma Ibemere lives her life by one simple motto: “Only hang out with those who bring out the best in you, not the stress in you”. Although this vivacious Hair and Beauty practitioner is currently in a relationship, she believes nothing could have kept her away from her destiny; being in the Big Brother Naija House. When she’s not running her hair business, Thelma finds time to dance, travel and read. Her favourite book of all time? ‘Talent Is Not Enough’ by James C Maxwell. If Thelma had a million dollars in the bank, would she still be in the game? “Of course, I would! Because of the fame. The only thing that would make me quit is a wedding, or pregnancy.”.
Nelson has been evicted from the Big Brother Naija house in Sunday’ live eviction show.
Day 28 proved to be the end of Nelson’s stay and the Pepper Dem Housemates said their goodbyes to Nelson.
Following Biggie’s punishment to the Pepper Dem gang by putting them all up for possible Eviction, the Housemates displayed all shades of tension all through the week.
However, Nelson got grabbed by the cold hands of Eviction tonight which left the rest of the Pepper Dem gang with the fear of the unknown. The Eviction panic was seen on their faces as Nelson’s name was announced. Is this really happening? They couldn’t help but wonder as they gave him their individual farewell hugs.

Rev. Mother Esther Abimbola Ajayi aka Iya Adura of Love of Christ C&S church blows hot as she reacts to people who come to white garment church in the night to receive miracles but don’t want to be known openly.
Rev. Mother Esther said in every church, Methodist, Anglican and others, there will always be a Judas among the disciple but it doesn’t mean everybody should be castrated.
Reverend Esther also reacts to Daddy Freeze calling out MFM saying its an Antichrist statement to kill one’s enemy.
In her word:
“A lot of people are hypocrite, concerning the white garment churches. They will come in the night, I know a lot of above average Nigerians that come to meet me. They don’t want their name to be mentioned openly buy they come to me in the night, i pray for you and miracles happen and then you don’t want to be my friend in the open. Stop Been An Hypocrite”
You will come in the night to a white garment pastor and on Sunday you will go to redeem christian church of God or other Pentecostal church. You Are an hypocrite and a deceiver as well.
In every other churches, Methodist, Anglican and others, there will always be a Judas among the disciple and an Absalom in the formulae but it doesn’t mean you should castrate everybody.”
She then added:
“why will you pray that your enemy should die, who is going to celebrate you?”
Popular Nigerian multi-talented rapper and father of one, Ice Prince Zamani is scared of falling in love again.
The rapper made this known via his Twitter handle to reveal reasons behind his fear to love, perhaps, as a result of the trauma he had been through with women and relationships.

He moved on to Ghanian actress, Yvonne Nelson but they broke up due to busy schedules.

Do you remember the Nigerian Christain preacher who was arrested and handcuffed by police a few weeks back? (See Here), Apparently, he has now been awarded £2,500 for wrongful arrest.
Oluwole Ilesanmi, 64, has welcomed the payout by the Metropolitan Police as a victory for freedom of speech after he was wrongly accused of Islamophobia.
The former dentist was preaching outside Southgate Tube station in North London in February when he was approached by two officers. A passer-by had earlier called police and accused Mr. Ilesanmi of hate speech.
He admitted to having described Islam as an ‘aberration’ but insists he was simply expressing his point of view as a Christian rather than denigrating Muslims. One of the police officers claimed Mr. Ilesanmi was disturbing the peace, saying: ‘No one wants to hear that. They want you to go away.’
He was handcuffed before the officer gave a thumbs-up to the camera. Mr. Ilesanmi was then bundled into a police car and driven several miles away. There the grandfather was ‘de-arrested’ and let out of the car.
Scotland Yard has now agreed to pay Mr. Ilesanmi £2,500 for wrongful arrest and his humiliating and distressing treatment. Mr. Ilesanmi told UK’s The Mail on Sunday:
‘I believe God loves everyone, including Muslims, but I have the right to say I that I don’t agree with Islam we are living in a Christian country, after all. I was upset when they took away my Bible. They just threw it in the police car. They would never have done that if it had been the Koran. Whatever happened to freedom of speech?’

The Big Brother Naija: Pepper Dem Saturday night party brought yet another drama and this time, involved housemates, Mercy, Gedoni and Diane, who was drunk.
Drama started when Gedoni had gotten into a heated argument with Mercy for using the Oppo phone made available to housemates to record a drunk Diane after the party.
The confrontation by curvaceous Mercy however took a different twist when Gedoni dared her to fulfill her threat of smashing the phone.
Other housemates and even Mercy’s love interest in the house, Ike, came to calm the storm but this was after she went on to smash the phone. She however stated that her only regret was not smashing the phone on Gedoni’s face.
Watch an aftermath of her smashing the phone below,
Last week, there was a Bbnaija video which trended online showing two housemates in the current reality show engaging in sexual activity.
Since then, there have been rumours that it was Esther and Frodd who were engaged in the act, while others were of the opinion that it was Khafi and her lover in the house Gedoni.
Earlier today, her management released a statement claiming it wasn’t Esther in the video.
They wrote;
Disclaimer ❌❌❌ Dear Family,
It has come to our notice that there have been rumours, videos and posts made by bloggers circulating all day about Esther being involved in sexual activities with a fellow housemate.
We decided to overlook it at first, but several people have called and messaged to ask questions and at this stage it is pertinent for us to speak on this matter!
PLEASE NOTE that the female in the said video is NOT Esther, and we would love and appreciate if bloggers can do their due diligence before spreading false information.
Also, it is important to state that we do not blame either of the housemates involved nor have opinions about their actions, as they are 2 consenting adults and whatever they decide to do in the house is totally up to them.
All we are saying is, Esther is not in the video as claimed!
An Almajiri boy ran into luck as Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has pledged to sponsor his education from primary school till he graduates from the University.
The promise came after a Twitter user @el_bonga shared a photo of the boy that learnt how to polish shoes for commercial purpose because he doesn’t like to beg.
The 13-year-old boy identified as Usman, had also said that he was out of school because he had no sponsor.
@el_bonga tweeted,
This is 13-year-old Usman, an Almajiri boy from Maiduguri. Because he doesn’t like to beg, he learnt how to shine and repair shoes from his brother where he earns an average of N500 a day. When I asked him about school, he said: “even if I want to school, no one will sponsor me.”
Reacting to the tweet, Governor El-Rufai described the young boy as ‘hardworking’, and further promised to sponsor his education.
Read his tweet below;
Where is this industrious boy? How old is he? Kindly bring him to me in Kaduna. I will sponsor him to attend a boarding primary school and upon completion until he graduates from university by the Grace of God.
