Niniola has given reasons for her poor performance at the Headies award ceremony last night while apologizing to her fans.
Niniola revealed why her performance was below standard.
She said that she had not practiced with the band as she had just returned from a trip to Owerri.
Niniola in a series of tweets on her Twitter page wrote: “I honestly was not going to address this issue but I was very firmly convinced within me that I owed each and every one of you a detailed explanation on why I had a performance that was far below the usual expectation of my performances.
“I had flown in from Owerri after a performance yesterday (the evening of the Headies), to grace the Award event that has served as a platform for us as entertainers and I unfortunately could not rehearse with the Band or even work on any performance set for the Show.
“I am thankful to everyone that messaged and called to enquire about my performance at the Headies Awards. It shows a clear understanding of the typical nature of my stagecraft.
“I promptly informed the organizers that I would not be performing as I am very particular about my Brand and the performance delivery I give to my friends and supporters that have helped my career to the point that it is today.”
Niniola performed on stage at the 12th edition of Headies alongside Davido, Tiwa Savage, Danfo Drivers, Johnny Drile and others.
The 12th Headies 2018 Awards held last night at The Eko Convention Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.

That being said, we’ve put together 7 notable moments from the show.
Find below:
Monkey Man
Who pulls off a Monkey costume? Well, some people say it’s Sound Sultan. Others say “no, it’s the infamous monkey responsible for the disappearance of 70 million from a senator’s farm.” We are not saying it’s both.
The monkey looked so peng, when you’re not looking at the face, that is.
Danfo Drivers (Mad Melon and Mountain Black) Performance
Iye meeeee….. Iye meeeee…. Iye meeee (Someone should complete this thing lol). The energy in the room leapfrogged to a hundred when they got on stage. We understand. The song – Kpolongo – brought back memories.
When (Part Of) The 30 Billion Gang Came to Receive Mayorkun’s “Next Rated” Award
They are not called a gang for nothing! They must represent; and they did when Mayorkun was announced as the winner of the coveted “Next Rated” award at the show. They literally “scattered everywhere”.
Kaffy Receiving the Special Recognition Award
Virtually no show goes by without Kaffy and her team performing – either alongside singers, or solely, giving more life to the art. She was recognised at the show for her work, and we must say, she deserves this accolade.
#BBNaija’s ToLex
Yes. Big Brother Naija Wahala is not over. Apart from Tobi being one of the presenters for the “Rookie of the Year” category, we also love how sweet him and one time “strategic partner” in the house Alex looked at the show. Whether there is chemistry or biology here, we know something scientific is going on!
Simi Hails Her “Man”
Vocal powerhouse Simi who carted home 3 awards at the show – Best RnB Single for Smile for Me, the Best Recording of the Year for Joromi, and her album Simisola won the Album of the Year – in her appreciation speech for the latter, gave a shout out to her “man” who she says has been supporting her.
And you guessed right; she didn’t mention a name. But no one mentioned Adekunle Goldsha.
Davido tells Artistes to Help As Many People as they Can
Davido, who also won three awards – IF won the Best Pop Single and Song of the Yearcategories, and was also named the Artiste of the Year – called on artistes to always lend a helping hand to people, noting that the over 2 dozen persons on stage with him have received one form of help or the other from him and he can’t wake up each day to see people in need without doing something. He says that’s why he’s blessed.
He thereafter challenged artistes to help others. He also dedicated the award to his family, his father, his daughters and of course, Chioma!
The superstar later revealed that his next album is coming up in September.
Tiwa Savage wasn’t in her best element at Saturday’s Headies Awards.
There as no wardrobe malfunction, neither did she fall off the stage, her much-anticipated performance however was disappointing.
Tiwa Savage shocked fans in the audience and online when she performed Codeine Diet, the street hit that she and Reminisce were featured on by DJ Enimoney.
We then wonder, did she really have to perform that song?
Tiwa Savage has been near perfect as a member of the MAVINS.
She remains the most successful female musician in the country. Her decision to hop on the ‘shaku shaku’wave is further proof that she can experiment with unusual sounds and get away with it.
Meanwhile there’s a widespread epidemic of Codeine abuse in Nigeria right now.
It is a common sight to see users drink copious amounts of codeine to get high.
It has become a crisis of sorts, with the Senate revealing that over three million bottles of the syrup in northern Nigeria alone!
As art often imitates life, it wasn’t surprising that Nigerian musicians hopped on the trend to make music.
There has been no end to the codeine references in songs, from Small Doctor’s Penalty to Olamide‘s Science Student and the aforementioned Codeine Diet.
Now one does not expect these men and women to be choir boys, certainly, they’re allowed a vice or two. One is not also not naive to imagine that some of them are not addicted to a few substances.
This writer in particular, has said on several occasions that Nigerians need to hold their public officials to the high standard they do entertainers.
At a point in anyone’s career, they attain a level where they cease to be inconsequential.
Tiwa knows that and that why on the Codeine Diet song, she attempted to self-censor by saying ‘protein’ instead of the problematic word.
However during the performance in question, she not only sang the chorus along with the obviously inebriated Reminisce, she pranced around the stage in excitement.
There’s also the issue of if the song should even be on the playlist at all, seeing that is has such unapologetic drug use references, but that’s a different conversation in itself.
Whilst one does not excuse Reminisce, the rapper has always made no bones about his affinity for the ‘streets’.
His own were-were is part of the persona. To expect him to behave differently is an exercise in futility: Alaga Ibile will always come across as an ‘area boy’.
His latest song is titled ‘Ajigijaga’, after the Yoruba movie character who was a thief. Go figure.
On the other hand, Tiwa is the one who has positioned herself to be ‘Mummy Jam Jam’.
Her son is an essential part of her brand. Her identity is carefully curated to portray her as a loving mother who just happens to be an entertainer.
Jam Jamfeatures well on her social media page. At the very least, it doesn’t sit well that she doesn’t have a problem with the coedine theme.
Like political commentators on Twitter say, the optics are bad.
Worse still, the recklessness of her performance went beyond mere perception and the irony of making light of substance abuse must have been lost on her.
In 2016 when her marital crises first became public courtesy of an early morning Instagram meltdown and a near suicide by her husband, Tiwa Savage’s well-orchestrated narrative was ‘TJ was on drugs and had addiction issues’.
She kept emphasizing that she loved him still and would want him to seek help for the resultant mental illness. ‘Even if it was weed, I can still manage. But cocaine?! Ah….’, she famously said in the interview.
So what has changed now, that Ms Savage thinks codeine abuse is something flippant?
Her repertoire is so rich that she could have chosen any song at random and it would still be a hit. But she chose this problematic track.
All around the world, entertainers are using their platforms for greater good. Kim Kardashian, for example, is working with her country’s government to free a woman who has been wrongfully imprisoned for twenty-one years and counting.
In his own unique way, even Davido enjoined his entertainers to help other people with their platforms as he picked up his award as Artiste of The Year.
At 37 years old and as accomplished as she is, Mummy Jam Jam should not be random.
She is too successful not to be a role model. Young people who are dealing with addiction should not turn the tv on and see a powerful woman like her wax lyrical about codeine.
There’s a serious dearth of role models in this country. By her thoughtless choice to perform Codeine Diet on the biggest entertainment event of the year, she made herself part of the problem.
Perhaps, we can refer to Davido and Chioma as the Hottest couple of the moment right now?
They both can’t get enough of each other.
Yesterday, during the 2018 edition of the Headies Awards which went down at the Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos State, Davido copped 3 awards.. and his artiste, Mayorkun copped the 4th one.
Davido and his girl, Chioma were seen all loved up, celebrating his awards.
Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson Okogie, who is also the Senior Special Assistant on Entertainment, Arts and Culture to Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has paid her full dues in the industry and indeed deserves some Accolades!
In this very interesting interview with Kemi Filani Blog, the mother of three sheds more light on her latest epic movie production, The Lamb, the secret of her happy marriage, more kids, fear of politics and lots more.
Enjoy below:
Was there challenges you encountered while producing this your latest epic movie, The Lamb?
O yes! There are always lots of challenges when you are filming. For a good start, I love to appreciate those that needs to be appreciated, from the Chief of Staff, to his Excellency, to the sons and daughters of Kogi State, we got a whole lot of assistant during the filming. We appreciate them all.
Their support and contributions, kind of made it so easy for me during the production, because we all want the outside world to come and see what we celebrate as a set of people.
We were so excited to have top Nollywood actors come into the State to celebrate our culture with us through the production of a good movie for the big screen.
We had some tiny issues here and there during production, but we scaled through. Now we are here to celebrate the success.
How long did it take to shoot the movie?
From conception to breathing, the movie took over a year.
Did you at a point get tired of the project, as it was taking too long?
No. I think I had so much faith on the project. I had responsibilities on my shoulders and I decided to see it till finish.
It was a bit challenging but we fought it through.
Is this the first movie you’re producing?
No, it is my second actually.
There are lots of tribes in Kogi State, why did you single out the Igala people to do a movie about them?
For me, it was more of showing to them that the Special Assistant to the Governor in Entertainment, Arts and Culture is not cut out for tribalism. It is not about the name Honorable but for us to bring up the entertainment sector in the state to an enviable stage that people would want to come and learn from us.
So, if we had done an Ibira story, they would say ‘Oh, yes, no wonder. That’s where she is from’.
On that note, I said let’s do something from the Igala tribe. I told them to give me what they have and they were all pointing at different stories, then we picked one and made it a good film.
How then do you cope with your home front and duty roles as the SA to the Governor?
Well, it has not been easy but I’m a home girl. There are priorities. God comes first, then family and other things follows.
Definitely the family has to be settled before we talk about work.
When I am not happy at home, then I can’t function properly in whatsoever capacity. God, family then others, it works well for me that way.
As we are here right now, if I get a call from my children’s school about anything, I’ll push your phone away and run off (laughs).
Seeing some of your Social Media posts, one is forced to believe that you have more favouritism for your female children than your boy, could this be true?
Yes, people tell me that a lot. But I think my son is more inclined to his dad. The guys roll, then the ladies roll (Laughs).
The girls roll like me, you know snake can’t birth fish, but my husband is a very quiet person and my son is just like him. When its time to make noise, my team roll along.
Away from family issues, what’s your say on Dino Melaye’s predicament?
I don’t want to talk about that please!
Now that your are working tirelessly for the Kogi State government, after the appointment, would there be a time you will plunge into full politics?
No no no! Not at all.
What if your people beg you to join politics for their sake?
I’ll equally beg them not to beg me. I just don’t want to do politics at all.
Why?
I can equally effect change in my community without holding any political post office. My husband is already a politician, but I’m not.
I think its enough on my shoulders that I’m responsible for some actions in the State, also an influence to people as a film person.
Everything you do is under scrutiny; that public eye is enough for me. I wouldn’t want to top it with political responsibilities. I can represent my community in a good light, help people, touch lives, do the best I can, and remain a good woman, but not with a political tag.
Are you scared of politics?
Well, I’m not scared. I’m just been careful.
For a while now, you have been under heavy public scrutiny, how have you been coping?
It has been God. No one can undermine the media, you guys are powerful. There is no saying that I want to dodge the media, because I’m always as real as it comes. So, I’ll say its just God.
On Instagram, you always show off your husband; the happy couple, so there is a believe that you’re out to mock those who are not as lucky as you are in marriage, what is your take on that?
My dear, I’m not in competition with anybody. I always do me. Because I’m just myself. You can never tell what tomorrow will beget. I’m always me, even on Social Media.
Your kids will always want mummy around, how do you cope leaving them for days?
It has not been easy, but we are in the jet age. I’m a working mother. I have to work. However, like I said earlier, its all about scale of preference. I give everyone and everything it’s own time.
When should we expect another baby from you?
Sure. Very soon.
Are you not scared of the labor room?
I’m obsessed with children. While growing up, I always had it in mind that I’ll have four children. So, we still need one more to complete it (laughs). So, we can always play football correctly, 3 boys, 3 girls.

Big Brother Naija (Double Wahala edition) may have ended but its reverberations are still being felt. The results of the actions of some contestants in the house still manifest after the show.
One of the housemates, Nina, is believed to have had sex in the house with another contestant, Miracle.
After she left the house, Nina also confirmed that she had sex with Miracle on several occasions. She also stated that she wasn’t sure about continuing her relationship.
She had said during an interview, “We had sex several times, yes. But it was just us being human. Me and Miracle have feelings for each other. We cannot hide; we don’t pretend. That was just living our lives in the Big Brother House.”
In another interview, when she was asked if she had been to see her boyfriend whom she was dating before she went into the house, she said, “I don’t think I want to do that. I don’t want any negative vibes around me right me.”
However, in a chat with Sunday Scoop, Collins maintained that he had moved on. He said, “I really don’t want to comment on this issue. I have moved on with my life and that’s all that matters.”
When pressed for further comments, he stressed, “I don’t want it to seem like I’m seeking for cheap publicity and I don’t want the issue to drag unnecessarily. That’s why I haven’t said anything.”
Meanwhile, Miracle has said he is more concerned with making money than exploring a relationship with Nina.
He had explained during an interview, “My relationship with Nina does not change outside the house; we are still good friends. I plan to make good use of the friendship with Nina; at least, it will reduce the proximity of female fans and all. With her, it is easier to set the barrier.”
“Yes, we are still good friends. We can be (together in future). I have feelings for her but there is time for everything.
“We are both young now and marriage is not the next thing. The goal is to make money o (laughs). 4

Blac Chyna’s split from Rob Kardashian is reportedly costing her money.
Club promoters are less keen to hire the reality TV star, who was previously earning up to $30,000 for nightclub appearances, because they believe she is less popular without former fiance Rob Kardashian.
According to TMZ Chyna is now only getting up to $7,000 per appearance, with some promoters saying that ‘Chyna without Rob is like Sonny without Cher’
And one Miami promoter insisted he would not pay more than $2,000 to hire Chyna.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Chyna, 29, wants the money Kylie Jenner was paid for Life Of Kylie as she filed a lawsuit against the reality star.
Chyna has however moved on with life after Rob Kardashian as she is currently in a hot romantic relation with teen rapper YBN Almighty Jay.
President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that his second term ambition is not for any personal gain.
President Buhari who declared his intention to seek a second term last month, stated this when he spoke at the APC ward congress which held at Bayagida Model Primary School in Katsina today May 5th.
President Buhari said the passion to serve and see real changes in the lives of Nigerians informed his choice to join partisan politics in the first place, and inspired him to contest elections in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015.
He said;
“I am not in politics for fun, frivolity or to amass wealth, I have always been driven by a deep sense of commitment to make a difference to the lives of our people.
After my retirement from the army, or forceful retirement, I sat back and watched as events unfolded on the political turf, and realised the country needed an intervention for fairness, justice and inclusion of Nigerians in the issues that affect their lives.
After going to the court so many times to challenge results of elections in 2003, 2007 and 2011, and going up to the Supreme Court, I concluded that ultimately it is God who determines who will win elections, and in 2015 I got here,’’
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has said that if the killings in the country is not stopped immediately, Nigerian may cease to exist again.
Adeboye made this statement while speaking at the monthly Holy Ghost service of the church which held at the RCCG camp ground last night May 4th.
The clergyman also warned that “unless the killings stopped, there may not be elections in 2019 in Nigeria.”
He said the recent killing of two Catholic priests and 17 parishioners in a Catholic chirch in Benue state last month, should be a wakeup call to the Federal government. Accoridng to him, when he heard the news of the attack, he was unusually quiet.
“I said there is no father who would lose 19 children in a day that will not be quiet. She said what do you mean, because she hadn’t heard the news that in a church, somebody went in and shot 19 people. It doesn’t matter the denomination…by the special grace of God, all Christians in Nigeria call me daddy. So when any of them dies, it’s my son or daughter that is dead. I am going to ask you to join me in prayer, because unless these killings stop, and stop immediately, even Nigeria may not live. I am not talking about individuals now, I am talking about Nigeria itself…a bishop asked me not too long ago, ‘Daddy, has God told you who win the next election?’ “I said, Sir, I am not even sure yet there will be an election. Because unless these killings stop there may be no elections next year. ‘Are you prophesying , Daddy?’ No, no! I am not prophesying. I am just reasoning. Because nobody will want to go out to vote if they are not sure they will be able to return home safely,” he explained.
The clergyman went further to say that no nation can survive a religious war.
“It’s a terrible thing. A nation may survive a civil war, but no nation can survive a religious war a remain the same. That Nigeria may live these killings must stop. So all of you who love Nigeria, I want to rise on your feet, and cry to God with all your heart, and say: Father, let the killings stop that Nigeria may live, please God let the killings stop.” he said
Tonto Dikeh has declared that she misses being intimate..
The actress and mother of one who took to her Instagram page to make this declaration said, though she loves been celibate, but she misses intimacy a little bit.
Meanwhile, just recently, the actress fired back at her haters.
Drama started when an Instagram page, Celebrity Kids, shared photos of the actress, her son King, her ex-husband Olakunle Churchill and the former president Olusegun Obasanjo, with a caption that says, “The former president of Olusegun Obasanjo with his grandchild.”
The actress quickly took to the comment section to set the records straight: “Excuse me, that’s my son and that’s not his grandfather in any way,” she wrote, adding, “Baba is a great man and has been wonderful to me and my son but unfortunately we have no blood relationship with baba.”
Many people felt this was shade targeting her ex-husband who had always claimed he is related to the former president, and it was for this reason they called out Tonto Dikeh, with some even questioning her parenting skill.
Well, Tonto Dikeh has refused to ignore the trolls, because she has fired back at them.
A hardworking and pretty Nigerian lady, Ogochukwu Maduako who ventured into Agriculture – has revealed how interesting it has been for her.
The graduate of Abia State University and egg recycler shared her story online through FarmerBoy.
Read below;
Hello My Name is Ogochukwu Maduako, I am a Farmer and a recycler. I recycle eggshells which is (poultry by product) into Bio material called CALCIUM.
I am a graduate of Abia State University Uturu, where I obtained Bachelor of Science (B.SC) in Agricultural Economics & Extension and currently am closing out on my Masters in International Economics & Finance at the department of Agriculture in Rivers State University.
Eggshells are gotten from the consumption of poultry by-product called EGG.
Eggshells are great source of calcium, when recycled into powdered form can be used as a planting materials as a natural fertilizer for the soil, it is a good calcium supplement for snail and also poultry layers for good formation of their shells.
It is essential for the strawberry, bell pepper, watermelon etc farmers. Interestingly, it is consumed by Humans as well.Practicing Agriculture as a female is fun. it stands me out where ever i go. it gives me the edge to be known and noticed most especially the fact that i recycle what people see as waste.
The journey so far has been quite interesting. As we all know destiny comes in pieces. So we are trying to bring all of its pieces together.Major challenges;
It’s really not easy trying to sell a new idea to the market that are used to an old existing idea.
You need a whole lot of conviction but most of all you have to be very grounded with the knowledge of what you are trying to sell.
Advice to youths; if what you want doesn’t exist, create it. In 2-3 years, I see @ifarm go global because recycling of eggshells is not just a challenge we face here in Nigeria but rather it is a challenge faced by other countries on its disposal technique.

Some soldiers mercilessly brutalized tenants living in Lekki Palm City Estate, Ajah for asking their Landlord identified as Majuka Nnamdi Emmanuel to refund their money.
Armed robbers had attacked their compound and carted away valuables just days after they moved in.
One of the tenant who became scared for his life then demanded that the money he paid for the house, which sums up to N1.3million be refunded back to him.
The Landlord however refused and said that he can only refund the money only if someone else pays for the house.
Argument erupted as other tenants joined to ask for their money.
Thinking that the issue will be resolved amicably, the Landlord bounced in the compound with some hefty soldiers this morning and woke the tenants up with Heavy Flogging.
They were beaten to the extent one of them even fainted and was rushed to a nearby Hospital, which was when the Soldiers stopped.
The research carried out by the Development Initiative of West Africa (DIWA) also revealed that about three million in Nigeria consume this product in order to make themselves high.
This revelation was made during DIWA quarterly awareness program tagged #Ban Codeine in Naija in Minna, Niger state.
According to the Niger State DIWA chief Executive Officer, Mallam Musa Mohammed El-Sani, the cough syrup is mostly consumed by the Youth and women lamenting that the society is confronted with a painful antecedent of people consuming codeine to attain a certain high psychological and emotional status that is negative to the brain and body.
El-Sani noted that codeine had contributed to the high rise in crime, kidnapping, raping, terrorism and killings in the country.
DIWA want the federal government to focus on the black market where sale of the dangerous product may still be threiving despite its ban calling for intense monitoring to checkmate the pharmaceutical companies and chain distributors in order to arrest the situation.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on Friday said that about 7.6m children in 22 states across the country were being fed daily under the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP).

Okay now everyone’s in bed let me tell my story by moonlight…… A true life story
So this is what happened to Me like a year ago. How time flies I look back at it and I laugh a little louder. There was this slay queen on Facebook, we weren’t much of friends and then one day I mistakenly tagged her in one of my posts. I never ever do that.
Then people kept commenting on the post “cute” sweet” dope” beautiful” etc and the slay mama inboxed me and told me to try and stop the comments that they were disturbing her.
Too many notifications. I smiled and told her to unlike and untag herself if she wanted to stop getting notifications on the post
She got mad, unfriend me well I wasn’t bothered cos she wasn’t paying my bills nor house rent or school fees.
I never knew she vowed to pay me back in double folds,to get to my boyfriend.? and teach me a lesson wow. And the hoe succeeded I woke up one day and found out that she was going out with my broke boyfriend ?.
I was mad I wanted to go find her bf too fuck him, twerk on his dick, give him a low job and rub it all in her face that I can do better but then something stopped me.
im not just that kind of bitch. I’m like even bitches got class! And I let them have fun funny enough the dude never had sex with me I was glad for that so am not his ex???
After some months the slay Quinns boyfriend started chasing after me I knew he was up to something maybe pay back to the girl too. it was a perfect opportunity for me to pay back as well but I rejected it and stayed cool. She started the relationship with my ex with sex in the club and all.
Well they seemed happy until after some months ???new cloth d sweet to wear but once it’s old you abandon it. And that’s what he did???. well the slay mama fucked up just cos of revenge cos her boyfriend used to pay her house rent and all but then she left him for my broke boyfriend not all that glitters is gold. But well I later found someone I really loved and he’s worth it .
Plus I’m grateful to her for bringing her boyfriend my way he’s a really nice person. He knows am an ice cream fan and he gets it for me all the time. We’re super cool friends.
Why am I telling y’all this?? Learn to appreciate what you have learn to forgive for that’s why we’re humans and not angels. We all have flaws. If we learn to tolerate each other we’ll be happier. vengeance is for God do not do his job!

In a chat with Saturday Beats, the actor revealed that the day his brother died was the saddest day of his life, he also revealed his biggest fear.
He said, “That was the day I lost my younger brother to Sickle Cell Anaemia. That was a very terrible day for me. My brother and I were very close and he looked up to me as his hero and mentor. One thing I loved about him was that he was very funny. There was nowhere he went to that he did not make people happy. He was about to gain admission into the university when he died.
“I was in South Africa when he died and immediately I heard about his death, I returned to Nigeria as quickly as possible because I told them not to keep his corpse in the mortuary for too long. I made sure that he was buried within a week before I went back to conclude the project that I was doing in South Africa.
I have a foundation that takes care of vulnerable kids in the society but ever since the death of my brother, whenever I stumble on news about people living with sickle cell anaemia, I’m always very touched. Such news always reminds me of him and I want to help people living with the sickness.”
On his biggest fear, The 40-year-old actor said;
“My biggest fear in life is to become poor. I have experienced poverty and it was not funny; I would do everything legal to ensure that I never witness poverty again in my life,”
