“My daughter Is healthy, happy, and protected” – Sophia Momodu speaks out

Media personality Sophia Momodu has taken to social media to address what she described as false and targeted narratives circulating about her daughter’s well-being.

In a statement posted on Snapchat, Sophia expressed disappointment over the numerous posts she woke up to, which she said were intentionally crafted to portray a misleading image of her child.

Calling herself a fiercely protective mother, Sophia said her first reaction was emotional, but she felt compelled to speak up in defense of her daughter.

She stressed that, contrary to online insinuations, her daughter is a happy, healthy, and well-rounded child, and anyone who has met her can confirm this.

Sophia went on to reveal that she has been the primary caregiver for the past five years, handling all expenses except school fees, which have been covered by the child’s paternal grandparent for the last three years.

She added that she has not received child support from the child’s father during this period, but emphasized that her daughter knows no lack and is being raised in a safe and nurturing environment.

Sophia also disclosed that she recently waived all outstanding child support payments and relinquished any future claims, a decision she said was mutually welcomed by all parties.

According to her, this move affirms her commitment to her daughter’s happiness and financial stability.

Despite their personal challenges, Momodu maintained that she has never denied the child’s father access or a relationship with their daughter. She said she simply prioritizes her child’s safety and structured routines.

Sophia ended her statement with a plea to the public: “Moving forward, I kindly request that my innocent child be left out of false narratives and stories. Let’s channel our energy towards things that are more profitable and healthy.”

She noted that the city’s energy and diversity remind her of Lagos, making it easy for her to adapt and it’s a natural step in her personal, and artistic journey.

Ayra Starr stressed that her move does not in any way signal a detachment from her culture. Instead, she intends to amplify Afrobeats on the global stage while staying rooted in her identity.

According to her, Afrobeats is more than a music genre it is a core part of who she is. She also expressed determination to showcase it internationally as her career continues to expand.

“I moved in to broaden my sound and just to make my people proud around the world. I want to carry my culture wherever I go.” She said

Below are some of the comments;

The widow of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Promise Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has taken legal steps to secure his estate and prevent any unauthorized claims.

Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba filed an official notice at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, asserting her position as the lawful beneficiary alongside her son.

She further stated that public notices were published in two national newspapers in November 2025 to guard against any fraudulent or unauthorized attempts to claim the late singer’s assets.

Her lawyers emphasized that the notice remains valid in the court’s records and must be upheld until the estate is duly administered.

The legal team expressed firm confidence that no irregular claims would be entertained while Mohbad’s legitimate wife and son are still alive, maintaining that the process must follow established probate rules to protect the family’s rights.

UK-based Nigerian man f@tally $tabbed in Norwich student accommodation

A UK-based Nigerian man has been identified as the victim of a fatal stabbing inside a student accommodation block in Norwich.

The deceased, Uchenna ‘Uche’ Okirie, believed to be in his 30s, was known as a British Red Cross volunteer and a student connected to the University of East Anglia (UEA).

Okirie was thought to be a current or former postgraduate student at UEA’s School of International Development.

He published a research paper last year under the university’s name examining the impact of climate change on health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa.

However, the university said initial checks did not locate his student record, though they confirmed that a small number of their students reside in the accommodation.

Emergency services were called to Somerleyton House at about 5 a.m. on Saturday. On arrival, officers and paramedics found Okirie with a stab wound to the chest. Despite efforts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police subsequently launched a murder investigation and arrested 27-year-old Congolese national Benjamin Katabana.

Residents of Somerleyton House said they were jolted awake by a fire alarm early that morning. One neighbour told the Eastern Daily Press that they saw people outside in their pyjamas and noticed several police cars before any ambulance arrived, immediately sensing that something serious had happened.

Okirie’s social media activity shows he has taken part in various volunteer projects with the British Red Cross and also served as an international student ambassador for Nigeria.

In a statement, a UEA spokesperson said the university had contacted all known students living in Somerleyton House and would continue to offer them full support during the difficult period following the tragedy.

Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Roseline Omokhoa Afije, popularly known as Liquorose, has shared new details about her future family and wedding plans.

She revealed during an interview with VJ Adams that she hopes to have nine children and celebrate her marriage with a two-week-long ceremony.

Liquorose’s disclosure sparked reactions among fans, as the reality TV star spoke openly about her personal aspirations beyond her thriving entertainment career.

The conversation offered a rare glimpse into her thoughts on marriage, family, and the kind of life she imagines for herself.

Reflecting on how her views on weddings have evolved over the years, the 30-year-old actress said she once envisioned a quiet, private ceremony.

However, those preferences have since changed; she now wants a two-week wedding, a loud one that screams, “Liquorose is officially taken!”

Describing her ideal celebration, she explained that she intends to enjoy several days of festivities ahead of the main event.

Despite her desire for grandeur, Liquorose emphasised that she still hopes to carve out one intimate moment away from the public eye.

“Growing up, I used to be that girl who could get married, and nobody would know. However, those dreams have since changed. At one point, I thought… I want a two-week wedding. I want something loud because it’s going to be a lot. liquorose is taken! Officially. I have to do that. I have to party for like five days before the wedding. party as a single girl, just have fun. I want something loud. But I would have one celebration for myself that nobody will even have to see. It would just be me and whoever the person would be. Just me and him.” She said

Reality TV star and media personality Mercy Eke has said she is fully prepared to become a mother even if she is not married.

In a recent interview, the former Big Brother Naija winner revealed that she feels confident raising children independently and is willing to have as many as three kids on her own.

I don’t want to get married, I have worked so hard, I think I can take care of myself, I can take care of three kids. I am a goal-oriented person; I always set goals for myself. I currently have one more thing I want to achieve. Once I get that, I will have my baby, and I want three girls,” She said.

She said her circumstances allow her the freedom to make decisions that work best for her without fear of judgment.

Despite her openness to becoming a single mother, Mercy stressed that she still believes in love and remains hopeful that she will eventually find a suitable partner.

After three road crashes in two months, Ogun State government moves to prosecute DJ Chicken

The Ogun State Government has announced that it is fast-tracking the prosecution of entertainer Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, following a series of road traffic incidents linked to him in recent weeks.

In a statement released on X (Twitter), the Ministry of Justice said the pending case against DJ Chicken arising from a 1 November 2025 crash in Sagamu is now being prioritised for prompt arraignment.

According to the ministry, the incident involved a collision with two motorcycles, leaving a rider and a female passenger seriously injured.

Officials allege that he attempted to flee the scene before being confronted by bystanders, while police opened an investigation and ensured medical care for the victims.

The ministry further disclosed that another crash occurred on 23 November 2025 in Lekki, Lagos State, where Mr Abiodun was reportedly involved in a lone-vehicle incident that nearly struck pedestrians.

According to the Ministry of Justice, yesterday’s crash is said to be his third in two months, and video evidence exists for at least two of the incidents.

The government said the pattern of behaviour demonstrates a special danger to society and warrants criminal prosecution rather than treating the collisions as purely civil matters.

Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, has therefore directed officials to expedite action on the Sagamu case.

The ministry said it is collaborating closely with the Ogun State Police Command to bring the matter before the courts.

The government added that its intervention is necessary to protect the public, citing what it described as an organic outcry over DJ Chicken’s continued driving following the repeated incidents.

Paystack fires CTO Ezra Olubi amid allegations of $exual misconduct and @buse against minors, and the resurfacing of disturbing tweets made by him

Nigerian fintech company Paystack has terminated the employment of its co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Ezra Olubi, following public allegations of sexual misconduct involving a junior employee.

Olubi confirmed the termination in a blog post on Sunday, November 23, 2025, stating that the decision was made before the company’s investigation had been completed.

He claimed he was not given a meeting or an opportunity to respond prior to the termination, which he said may have contravened the terms of his suspension and Paystack’s internal policies.

Ezra added that his legal team is reviewing the process and may take further action.

The controversy began in mid-November after a social media post alleging abusive behavior by Olubi went viral.

Internet users subsequently resurfaced explicit tweets from earlier in his career, dating from 2009 to 2013, which contained sexual content and jokes described by many as predatory.

Paystack, acquired by Stripe in 2020, initially suspended Olubi and opened a formal investigation. The company stated that it had established a review process and intended to appoint an independent investigator.

As of now, Paystack has not issued a new public statement following Olubi’s blog post, and it remains unclear whether Stripe will comment further. Any legal action by Olubi could lead to new disclosures that clarify the facts and company procedures surrounding the termination.

Family who d!sowned their teen daughter over false HIV rumours later learns she has diabetes

A heartbreaking story shared on X (Twitter) has sparked reactions after revealing how an 18-year-old girl was falsely accused of sleeping with men and contracting HIV.

Only for medical tests to show she was suffering from a serious but unrelated health condition after her family had accused her of bringing shame to the family

According to the health worker who narrated the incident, the teenager had been battling progressive weight loss, loss of appetite, and abdominal swelling.

Rather than seeking medical attention, her family and community concluded that she must have contracted HIV through promiscuity, she was stigmatized, rejected, and eventually disowned.

When her symptoms worsened, she was presented at a Primary Health Centre (PHC), where routine tests were carried out.

However, the results contradicted every accusation made against her she did not have HIV, she was not pregnant but her blood sugar levels were extremely high prompting further urgent testing.

After follow up tests, the health worker concluded that the girl was most likely suffering from Type 1 Diabetes and requires immediate medical attention.

When the health centre contacted her parents to discuss the diagnosis, the teenager’s father refused to come, he reportedly sent someone else, insisting he was done with her.

The mother had been crying since the girl was thrown out of the house. After persistent outreach, the father was convinced to return to the facility, where evidence showed his daughter had been wrongfully judged.

The health worker revealed that the person who started the rumour was a close family member, and the community had accepted the accusation simply because they noticed her weight loss, vomiting and a swollen abdomen without considering the possibility of a medical condition.

The health worker concluded the post with a powerful reflection that stigma, especially when tied to misinformation, can destroy lives even before illness does.

Moment bus driver dumps a passenger mid-trip after downplaying insecurity in Nigeria

A Nigerian lady has shared a story on X (Twitter) about how a bus driver dumped a passenger mid-trip for making an insensitive remark about the insecurity in the country.

According to her tweet, passengers in the bus were discussing the rising cases of kidnapping when the conversation shifted to politics.

She said one of the men in the vehicle argued that Nigerians, especially Yorubas, should support the president regardless of the hardship in the country.

The man allegedly dismissed the worsening security situation, saying kidnappings and killings were not new and something Nigerians should simply accept.

Unknown to him, the driver, who is from Ilorin, quietly pulled over in a bushy area, asked everyone to come down under the guise of checking the vehicle, refunded the man’s fare, and ordered him out of the bus before driving off with the remaining passengers.

She added that no one spoke up or pleaded on the man’s behalf because the situation of the country has tired everybody.

Reflecting on the incident, she said the moment captured the frustration, fear, and emotional exhaustion many Nigerians feel as insecurity, inflation, unemployment, and daily hardship continue to affect lives.

Below are some of the comments;

“You mean the driver no reduce him teeth from 32 to 20 before leaving him behind?”

“I love what the driver did to him. If more people treat Tinubu supporters like this, they will all change and their head will correct by force.”

“The bus driver did the right thing! We as a country are all tired irrespective of tribes and a human still has the guts to make it about tribe.”

“Why does he think he needs to defend a politician especially at a time when we should be holding them accountable?”

Veekee James sparks debate after urging women to support their families financially, and not to rely solely on their husbands (WATCH)

Fashion designer Veekee James has stirred public conversation following remarks she made at a recent conference, where she emphasized the importance of financial responsibility and hard work among women.

According to her, a woman who embodies these values feeds her home through her own efforts, highlighting self-reliance and diligence as key qualities that strengthen a family.

She also noted that women should be willing to support their households financially, especially when building a family or business with their partner.

Veekee James also encouraged women to engage more closely with their spouses regarding their professional ambitions.

“What do you want me to do? How do you want me to start?” She described this collaborative approach as an important attribute of a supportive and forward-thinking wife.

Her comments have since sparked mixed reactions online, with some applauding her call for shared financial responsibility in marriage, while others argue that her expectations place excessive pressure on women.

Below are some of the comments;

“She’s saying this cos she married a poor man. She’s the bread winner. You don’t have to impose this on women whose situations are different.”

Everyone should do whatever works for their marriage. Some rich men with rich wives still prefer to be the sole provider

“It’s good advice. Whether you marry down, marry equal or marry up, don’t be reliant and helpless.”

“So what will the husband be doing in the house then If the wife is doing almost everything at home?”

“Release Nnamdi Kanu or forget south-east votes in 2027” – Cubana Chief Priest tells Tinubu

Nightlife promoter Cubana Chief Priest has issued a public message to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging him to secure the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The statement, which was posted on his Instagram page, argued that Kanu’s continued detention could severely undermine the president’s support in the South-East ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In the lengthy post, Cubana Chief Priest claimed that as long as Kanu remains in custody, the president cannot and will never get up to 10,000 votes in the South-East.

He described Kanu as the supreme leader of the South-East, insisting that his detention has caused so much setback among the region’s population.

He also criticized federal ministers from the South-East, calling them cowards who fail to convey the region’s grievances to the president.

According to him, many political stakeholders who appear loyal to the ruling government are just bags of deceit, stating that their influence cannot genuinely sway South-East voters.

The socialite also addressed Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, urging him to play a decisive role in resolving the issue. He warned that the governor’s achievements risk being overshadowed if Kanu’s detention persists.

Regarding Abia State, he mentioned that President Tinubu’s absence during recent project commissioning ceremonies was poorly received in the region, and that sending a minister he described as incompetent worsened the situation.

Cubana Chief Priest concluded his message by urging the presidency to appeal the judgment and get it right, warning that ignoring the issue may lead to political setbacks in 2027.

Yemi Alade reveals she was $#xually h@r@ssed as a teenager by music executives

Nigerian singer and songwriter Yemi Alade has revealed that she was sexually harassed as a teenager by music industry executives while trying to build her career.

Speaking on a podcast session, the award-winning artist opened up about the challenges she faced as a young talent with limited resources.

She explained that despite her determination and hard work, some of the industry’s gatekeepers demanded exploitation rather than appreciating her abilities.

Yemi Alade recounted that many of the incidents occurred during studio sessions and business meetings, often involving older men who were in positions of power.

As a teenager, she said she frequently found herself stunned into silence.

The singer said the repeated harassment made her question whether she wanted to continue pursuing a music career. However, she found the strength to stay committed to her passion.

“In those beginning days, all I thought I needed was just my talent because that’s what I have. I didn’t have a bank account full of money I could use to sponsor myself. I just had a talent and a zeal, and a promise that I made to myself and a promise I believed God made to me. So, I always tried to show up. I was told that I needed to work harder, and so I worked harder, and it wasn’t enough. There were doors I needed to walk up to, and when I walked up to the doors. They didn’t want my talent; they wanted something else. Many times, from business meetings to studio sessions, to even winning certain awards, you meet maybe the managing director or any other executive, and they are trying to rub your thighs under the table. And I was just a teen. My grandpa is rubbing my legs, and I can’t speak because I’m in shock. We are having an actual business meeting. Why are you rubbing my thighs? I had to speak to myself and decided if music was what I wanted to do because the sexual harassment was becoming too rampant.

But something in me told me to keep pushing my talent. So, I still showed up. If the door was left open for me, I would walk in. If it was shut in my face, I would walk away.” She said

Critics flooded his mentions, telling him to read the room, accusing him of being tone-deaf and arrogant.

Responding to the wave of unfollows and negative comments, Kiddwaya reminded his critics that their online reactions had no effect on his finances.

“I woke up to some people unfollowing me. I had to check my bank account to see if it was affected, also… It wasn’t…” He wrote

The remark has stirred further debate, with some users calling him names, while others defended him as simply clapping back at online critics.

Below are some of the comments;

“If you really didn’t care, you wouldn’t even post this, you would have gone on with your day and enjoy the money in your account.. But you do, in fact, care a lot. I think it even pissed you off so much that you made this tweet so you can also rile people up in return.”

“It’s all good and well till you need something from Nigerians. That’s when you’ll know that all these your bragging cannot take you anywhere.”

“Bobo, calm down. We all sabi say if your papa no hustle clean, na that same questionable money you dey use do rich man joke for here. Nobody blind. And make we no lie people wey actually fit buy and sell your papa sef, their own children no dey make noise like you. So abeg, drop this foolishness.

“It’s high time we stopped posting youths to states outside their base” – Odumodublvck to NYSC amid rising insecurity

Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has called on the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to suspend the posting of corps members to states outside their home base, citing rising insecurity across the country.

In a tweet directed at the official NYSC account, the rapper appealed for urgent reforms, stressing that the original purpose of cross-state deployment is no longer realistic given Nigeria’s current security challenges.

He noted that the the NYSC scheme, which began as a brilliant idea, has now become very difficult to sustain.

Odumodublvck urged authorities to consider the emotional burden placed on families who constantly fear for the safety of their children during the service year.

@officialnyscng PLEASE ITS HIGH TIME WE SUSPEND THE POSTING OF OUR YOUTHS TO DIFFERENT STATES OTHER THAN WHERE THEY ARE BASED. IT ALL STARTED OFF AS A BRILLIANT IDEA, BUT NOW WITH THE STATE OF OUR COUNTRY ITS NOT SUSTAINABLE. PLEASE PITY THE PARENTS. KIDS ARE DYING MOVE WITH THE TIMES, He wrote

Below are some of the comments;

“It should be scrapped. Hundreds of lives lost, family losing their love ones. It’s a horrible system and it’s not worth it @officialnyscng people are dying oooooooooooo

“The whole world is moving towards General Artificial intelligence (AGI) we are still doing NYSC in 2025.”

“You’re absolutely right. What used to be a noble idea has become a danger. NYSC needs a full review, safety should come before tradition.”

“NYSC should scrap this rubbish . They are just putting people’s lives in danger. NYSC does not really impact lives in any meaningful way, I have been there so I can tell from the experience.”

She noted that the experience was painful and eye-opening, adding that many people do not understand the hidden pressures artists face behind the scenes.

Tiwa told the audience that incidents like these make female entertainers question the standards they are subjected to, stressing that respect for talent should outweigh any inappropriate demands.

Below are some of the comments;

“The dark side of pretty privilege is being lusted over not loved. People just want to sleep with you.”

“it’s not easy for women in the industry. almost everyone wants to take advantage of them before helping them.”

“Why can’t she call out the name of the man? I believe she has got the evidence to back up her claims. I don’t understand protecting an oppressor.”

“Easy to criticise ladies that have been sexually harassed, until its your sister or daughter. Men just do better.”

“Stop embarrassing your wives during Sermons!” – Nigerian missionary w@rns pastors

A Nigerian missionary has sparked conversation on X (Twitter) after issuing a stern message to Christian men, especially pastors.

In his post, he criticized the growing trend of preachers illustrating their messages with stories that portray their spouses in an embarrassing or derogatory manner.

According to him, they should desist from using their wives as negative examples during sermons, as such behavior is disrespectful and undermines the dignity of the women who support them.

The missionary insisted that anything short of praising one’s wife as the best thing that ever happened after salvation should be off-limits on the pulpit.

He stressed that even if pastors have good intentions, negative illustrations about their wives distract listeners from the message and shift attention to the embarrassing examples instead.

His tweet has since drawn reactions from many online users, with supporters agreeing that pastors should uphold their wives with honor both at home and in public ministry.

Below are some of the comments;

“Far too common! And it’s never something good. The tone and the manner in which they even speak is so annoying. Cause tell me what is funny about the fact that you killed your wife’s dream.”

“The ones I have seen the past two days, if I say my mind, I would insult people, because what in the name of wickedness is all of these?”

“They are supposed to preach Jesus, not themselves or their wives. Of course, there is no way the self will not be glorified when such happens. Offences must come out from such.”

“Pastors are mostly known for their lack of emotional intelligence! Cause imagine a supposed grown man saying he prevented his wife from achieving her dreams in big 2025 and he is laughing o. Awon arindin.”

“Next time, say nothing if you’re not sure” – Faith Adewale tells Tacha, following her TVC comment (WATCH)

Faith Adewale has responded to comments made by media personality Tacha during her interview on TVC, where she stated that his disqualification from the Big Brother Naija reality show was justified.

The remark, which stirred reactions online, prompted Faith to issue a direct but composed response targeted at Tacha.

According to Faith, he was unfamiliar with Tacha until the interview clip surfaced, but after looking her up, he acknowledged her strong work ethic and expressed respect for her accomplishments.

However, he emphasized that her statements on the issue were inaccurate; despite her confidence in making the claim, she got the facts wrong.

Offering pointed advice, he urged Tacha to refrain from speaking on matters she is not fully informed about, as silence would have served better than the comments she made.

Faith ended his response with a mix of critique and compliment, remarking that her beauty alone could have carried the moment more effectively than the words she used in the interview.

Below are some of the comments;

“You fight women for show, Fight after show, still they fight women for social media. Basically, you live in this world with no purpose other than to fight women.”

“Faith, you are being very rude. You seem to enjoy fighting with women, and that says a lot about you. You really need to work on yourself.”

“Shut the fvck up and take corrections. There was no reason to be tussling with a lady like that in the name of task completion. What if she hit her head and split it as she landed? Get busy! No one cares if you know her before or not!”

Actor Taye Arimoro demands N100m compensation from Peggy Ovire over alleged on-set a$s@ult

Nigerian actor Taye Arimoro has issued a legal demand to Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire, seeking a public apology and N100 million in damages over an alleged assault that reportedly occurred on a movie set.

The actor made the allegations public through a lawyer’s letter he shared on his official Instagram account.

According to Arimoro, the incident took place on November 11 after he attempted to leave the production location upon completing his scheduled call time.

He claimed Ovire blocked his car and insisted he remain to film two additional scenes.

The situation allegedly escalated, resulting in him being detained and assaulted by Ovire and members of her team.

In his account, Arimoro accused the actress of violating his constitutional rights to dignity, personal liberty, and freedom of movement.

His lawyers described the alleged treatment as unlawful, inhuman, and degrading, adding that the incident caused emotional distress, psychological trauma, and financial losses.

However, Peggy Ovire has denied the accusations. She reportedly maintains that Arimoro was the aggressor and that he attacked her production manager during the confrontation.

Arimoro’s legal team outlined two demands to be met within seven days.

A public video apology posted on all of Ovire’s social media platforms, including a permanent video on her verified Instagram page, and a Payment of N100 million in damages.

The letter warned that failure to comply would compel Arimoro to pursue legal action to enforce his rights.

As of the time of this report, Peggy Ovire has not issued any public response to the demands.

Pastor sparks b@cklash after sharing how he stopped his wife from studying abroad

A pastor has come under heavy criticism online after sharing a story during a church service about how he prevented his wife from pursuing her dream of studying abroad.

In a now-viral clip, the pastor recounted that when he met his wife, she had always aspired to study medicine overseas, despite already holding a degree in microbiology.

According to him, she was so committed to the dream that many of her passwords included the title “doctor.”

He explained that after two years of marriage, his wife approached him again, asking for permission to undertake a two- or three-year master’s program abroad while he remained in Nigeria.

The pastor said he rejected the idea, questioning why a married woman would want to leave her husband for such a long period.

He went on to say that she eventually settled for an online program with the University of London, completing the course from Egbeda.

The pastor then used the story to argue that marriage is at best a distraction, claiming that certain dreams must be abandoned once a person becomes married.

“There are some dreams and desires that if you don’t achieve them before marriage, forget about it; you can’t achieve them again. In marriage, you lose your personal freedom and autonomy. You can’t wake up one morning and make a major decision on your one anymore because your decision directly affects the other person. You will have to sit down and decide together.” He said

The remarks drew swift condemnation across social media, with many users accusing the pastor of controlling behavior and using religion to justify the suppression of his wife’s ambitions. Others argued that his message sends a harmful signal about marriage, individual growth, and women’s rights.

“I would run for governor and still win” – Kiddwaya

Nigerian reality TV star Kiddwaya stirred controversy on X (Twitter) after making a bold political claim amid ongoing national tension.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate had earlier taken to the platform to express excitement about the forthcoming detty December, but his post was met with backlash from users who felt it was insensitive given the country’s current climate.

Critics urged him to read the room, pointing to the recent abduction of 20 female students in Kebbi State and the attack on a CAC church by bandits.

Rather than respond with an apology, Kiddwaya fired off a new tweet that escalated the conversation. “I’d run for governor and still win. Is this not Nigeria,” he wrote.

The comment quickly drew even more backlash, with many users accusing him of trivializing both the political process and the nation’s insecurity.

Others criticized the statement as tone-deaf and provocative, especially at a time when Nigerians are grappling with rising concerns over safety and governance.

Below are some of the comments;
“No, you won’t. You had two chances at Big Brother and was chased out like a lost puppy on both occasions. This is Nigeria, YES, but sit this one out, this discourse is beyond your comprehension.”
“Nigga, your mother ran for Governor, she didn’t even make it past the primaries (if I remember correctly). You’re not who you think you are oh, delusional fool.”
“Wow! You really need to take a step back and think deeply about the things you are saying. You have such an opportunity to show empathy and listen to what people are saying. It’s better to stay out it all than use your platform this way. I hope you do better.”
“Yes, you will because you fit the profile. You’re the kind of man whose very presence feels like rot. To look at you is to glimpse the worst possibilities of humanity congealed into one walking, festering disappointment nicknamed Kiddwaya. Like father, like a worse off son.”

“I didn’t force anyone to be my fan, I prefer the ones with money” – Burna Boy says

Nigerian Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has addressed his relationship with his fanbase, insisting that he does not pressure anyone to support him.

Speaking during a recent Instagram Live session, he questioned critics with a rhetorical, ‘I force anybody to be my fan?’ emphasizing that fandom, in his view, should be entirely voluntary.

His comments come shortly after a viral incident in which he escorted a concert attendee out of his show for sleeping during his performance.

Responding to public reactions, Burna Boy added that if he were ever to seek new supporters, he would prefer those who have money this period, jokingly noting that ‘pepper dey body,’ a local expression meaning that economic hardship is widespread.

According to Burna Boy, authenticity, not pressure, is what drives his bond with fans.

Below are some of the comments;

“The only thing business I have with these artists is to download their music on platforms and listen, no be me go attend their concerts or shows and be doing fan zone.”

Lol, glad I don’t even see these artists as any god, like the way their fans worship them. The only business I have is to listen; I don’t even bother downloading their music, just go on music platforms and listen. All the best to him.

See what y’all are cheering for, Someone who doesn’t have human compassion or care.
But meanwhile, some of you still think Davido does too much and is always looking for attention. It is well.

Can you hear Mumu talk… You’re nothing without your fan… Even Eminem said what you did to that lady is wrong… You can fact-check me.

Nigerian singer Temmie Ovwasa has responded after a former classmate described it as ‘sad’ that she turned out this way despite being one of the brightest students in school.

“Every voice matters” – BBNaija’s Tochi urges fans to stop relying on celebrities for change

Big Brother Naija reality TV star Tochi has encouraged Nigerians and social media users to take ownership of their voices rather than wait for celebrities to speak on important issues.

In a post shared on his Instagram story, Tochi noted that many people delay speaking out because they expect public figures to lead conversations.

According to him, this mindset limits true collective progress because real change is driven not by a select few but by the collective voices of everyday individuals.

Tochi urged his followers to recognize the power of their own platforms, no matter how small, and use their voices to push for the change they want to see.

“People keep waiting for celebrities to speak before they find their own voice. That’s the problem. We keep looking for a “leader” when the truth is simple: every voice matters.
Change doesn’t come from a few people talking; it comes from all of us speaking up collectively.
Stop waiting for someone with a platform. Start using the one you already have. Your voice counts too.” He wrote

Below are some of the comments;

How many views do we get? It would only be on our page, unlike you and your colleagues, whom blogs would repost.”

This is a wrong take, someone with more organic followers of up to 1 million get way more reach in their platform than someone with 1k followers.

Celebrities have some leverage the ordinary voice doesn’t have. In case you don’t know what being a celebrity is, celebrities are taken more seriously than the common man, stop playing on people’s intelligence, bro.

 

Ned Nwoko denies contacting Regina Daniels, says focus should be on her rehabilitation 

Senator Ned Nwoko has denied claims that he is communicating with his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, or seeking her return to his household.

In a statement issued by his communication team and posted on X (Twitter), the lawmaker said his only concern is that she receives therapy and rehabilitation.

According to the statement, Regina has allegedly been battling drug-related challenges, with the senator insisting that her recent allegations against him are influenced by her condition.

The communication team released what they described as a verifiable WhatsApp message reportedly sent by Ned to Regina on 17 October, expressing frustration over her lifestyle and urging her to return to therapy.

In the message, the senator complained about late-night gatherings involving Regina and her friends and warned that he would no longer fund her lifestyle if she refused rehabilitation.

The communication team said Regina allegedly became destructive soon after receiving the message, claiming she damaged cars and other property.

The statement further alleged that Regina’s behaviour deteriorated in recent months, prompting the senator to encourage her to maintain basic routines and seek professional help.

It also referenced incidents involving friends, including reality star Phyna, whom the team said he tolerated only to manage Regina’s condition.

The communication team additionally accused Regina of engaging in days-long partying and confrontations at a hotel, which they claim marked a turning point in her behavioural decline.

They also alleged that she filmed and posted a video of the senator in a private setting, describing it as evidence of irrational conduct.

The team concluded by saying Ned’s priority is ensuring Regina receives proper care for the sake of their two children, urging those close to her to support her entry into a reputable rehabilitation programme.

Court ja!ls suspended UNICAL law dean Cyril Ndifon for five years over s#xual harassment

The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced the suspended Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Calabar (UNICAL), Prof. Cyril Ndifon, to five years in prison after finding him guilty of sexually harassing a female student.

Delivering judgment on Monday, Justice James Omotosho held that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) established counts one and two against Ndifon beyond a reasonable doubt.

The court imposed a two-year sentence for count one and a five-year sentence for count two, to run concurrently, with no option of fine.

The court, however, discharged and acquitted Ndifon’s former lawyer, Sunny Anyanwu, of allegations that he attempted to obstruct justice by threatening a key witness.

Justice Omotosho ruled that the prosecution failed to link Anyanwu to the offences listed in counts three and four of the amended charge.

The four-count amended charge, dated January 19, 2024, accused Ndifon of sexually harassing female students while serving as Dean of Law.

According to the ICPC, he demanded indecent photographs from a diploma student identified as TKJ and repeatedly solicited sexual acts in exchange for her admission into the law programme.

Ndifon testified in his own defence, while a forensic analyst from the Office of the National Security Adviser, CSP Babagana Mingali, also appeared before the court.

In his judgment, Justice Omotosho concluded that the evidence showed Ndifon abused his office and exploited a student seeking admission.
