“Why I rejected a Range Rover Evoque gift from a man” – Content creator, Kiekie reveals

Kiekie reveals

Nigerian content creator, Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, better known as Kiekie, has revealed why she turned down a Range Rover Evoque gift from her ex-boyfriend years back.

In a recent interview with media personality Toke Makinwa on her show “Toke Moments”, Kiekie recounted how her ex-boyfriend told her to reveal whatever she wanted for Valentine’s day and she replied that she wanted a Range Rover Evoque.

Interestingly, the man showed up at her shop a few days later with the multi-million naira vehicle to give her. Much to the man’s surprise, Kiekie said she rejected the expensive car.

 Kiekie reveals

She went on to cite two reasons why she didn’t accept the Range Rover.

Firstly, collecting the car would mean that she would have to marry the man due to the kind of family she is from.

Secondly, she knew she didn’t want to marry him because he didn’t believe in her business dreams and aspirations.

Her words,

“There was this guy I was seeing. It was Valentine some years ago and he was like what would you like? I said I wanted a Range Rover Evoque and like 3 or 4 days later, this guy brought the Range Rover to my shop in Opebi in Ikeja.

When I saw the car, it was two things. If I take that car, it means that I’m marrying that man because of the type of family that I am from. Because my father will be wondering.. the thing that made me to collect car from a man, you are marrying the man.

Now this is the same man that once said to me.. if we are married, you cannot be here more than 2pm. What are you doing? What are you sewing? How much is the cloth you are sewing? That was what he told me. So you are not thinking beyond what I was doing. You are just seeing me doing what is taking my time, not that I’m investing my time into that thing. So we are not in the same space.”

A South African woman, Wokuhle, has shocked netizens with the story of when she realized her supposed friend actually hated her.

The lady took to the microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to share how she was surprised to find out her friend did not consider her a friend.

According to her, she had helped plan the wedding because the friend could not afford a planner but was shocked when the friend uninvited her because she wanted only close people at the event.

“When I helped her plan for her wedding (she did not have a wedding planner) and 2 weeks before the wedding, I told her I don’t know what I am going to wear to her wedding. Her response was, “Is it possible to not come? I’ve decided to invite close people.

No. She told me I was not invited, so I respected her wishes. I sent the present because I already had bought it and it was engraved her name x his.”

“Wizkid and I created the afrobeats sound of today” – Samklef

Popular Nigerian singer, Samuel Oguachuba, professionally known as Samklef, has claimed to have co-invented Afrobeats with Grammy-winning musician Wizkid for the Nigerian music business.

This was revealed on Monday by Samklef via his X (Formerly known as Twitter) account, who said that Nigerian contemporary music lacked a genre and name until he and Wizkid gave the genre the term “Afrobeats” in 2010.

The “Molowo Noni” crooner claimed that although Nigerian music pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is credited with inventing Afrobeats, Wizkid’s rise to fame as a producer in the past ten years, which he helped to bring about, heralded a new era for the country’s modern music industry. 

According to Samklef, they both deserve credit for the magic and the name Afrobeats.

Sharing a throwback video of himself and Wizkid on his X page on Monday, Samklef wrote:

“Meet the Nigerian two kids that created the afrobeats sound of today. As of 2009, Nigerian music had no title! Until these two created magic! 2010! Even the award categories in Nigeria were Best Hip Hop, Best R and B, Best Alternative Music and Best Reggae! There was nothing like Best Afrobeats! It was Wizkidayo who named it afrobeats! Know this and know peace! Fela created Afrobeat!”

TG Omori reveals why he stopped shooting music videos for Asake

Nigerian music video director, ThankGod Omori Jesam, popularly known as TG Omori, has finally opened up on why he stopped shooting for Afrobeats sensation, Asake.

The YBNL artist and Omori first collaborated on the project “Organize” in 2022, and since then, they have worked together on numerous music videos.

However, once Asake hired a different director for his most recent songs, rumors started to spread regarding a potential fallout.

There have been rumors that the musician was disappointed that his most recent video, “YOGA,” did not garner as much attention as his previous ones.

However, Omori clarified the situation in a podcast interview for Zero Conditions, claiming that they have collaborated on enough projects already. Olamide, the head of YBNL, has the right to hire other creative directors, he noted.

According to the cinematographer, Olamide believes in giving people opportunities, and it would be unjust to hold that against him.

He said,

“Even couples dey divorce, people do have a break. I think we have done enough, we have done like 12 videos. We are still very cool. You know it is a business and at the end of the day, you have to respect your client’s decisions.

I like when artistes have the freedom to try out new things. I don’t want because we are guys you must shoot with me. I don’t know why that happened.

To me it is amazing love because me and YBNL are forever. And you know how me and Olamide ‘go like way back’, and Olamide is a type that makes sure that everybody eats. And before I came, he was working with other directors and he gave me the opportunity to also do my thing.

So he’s working with a very creative guy now. A very good guy that’s doing well too. That’s Olamide for you. And if I take that personal, then I have messed up.”

“Shame on you, I’m deleting all your songs” – Gifty Powers drags Rema

Reality TV star, has taken to social media to drag popular Nigerian musician Rema after his music concert in Ethiopia was cancelled.

Recall that the Sheraton Hotel in Addis Ababa released an official statement about the cancellation of Rema’s Ethiopian New Year’s Eve Concert, originally slated for September 9.

It’s no secret that Rema wears a necklace that features the image of a burning church and inverted crosses. He also uses the same image as a backdrop for his album cover and performances.

This was perceived as disrespectful and offensive by many Ethiopians, sparking considerable public outcry and condemnation.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, deeply rooted in cultural heritage and firm religious beliefs, also expressed strong disapproval of these symbols.

Due to mounting pressure, the Sheraton Hotel in Addis Ababa was forced to cancel the event.

After the incident, ex-Big Brother Naija contestant Gifty Powers made a public accusation against Rema, claiming that his music and pictures promoted satanism.

She revealed that she had conducted her own independent research and discovered that Rema was actually promoting satanic themes in his works of art.

She wrote,

“To Rema, shame on you. I couldn’t believe it until researched it myself and found out REMA wore a necklace with a burned church turned upside down, like

The rate at people selling their souls to this idiotic devil eh!! Y’all think hell isn’t real…ok nahh. All these are for fame and money. SMH

“I derive inspiration from Fela, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Kanye West” – Rema

Popular Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, professionally known as Rema, has revealed the four great artistes that inspire him.

The late afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and American rapper Kanye West were cited by Rema as influences.

Rema, in an interview with Hip TV, also mentioned that he draws inspiration from Nigerian Afrobeats Grammy winners Wizkid and Burna Boy.

The 23-year-old award-winning musician claims that Kanye West’s creativity, Wizkid’s lifestyle, and Burna Boy’s life story have influenced him.

He said;

“I’m inspired by Burna [Boy] because of his story. Fela [Kuti] inspires me. Kanye West [inspires me] because of how far he goes in terms of his creativity, production. I really like Wiz [kid] because of how he carries himself.”

A while back, Rema stated that at award ceremonies, all Afrobeats artists will be grouped together, regardless of what genre Nigerian musicians label their musical genres.

Thee “Bounce” singer stated this in Atlanta, Georgia, on Sunday as he accepted the 2023 Headies Award for Best Male Artist of the Year.

His comment comes on the heels of Burna Boy dissociating himself from the afrobeats tag on the grounds that it “lacks substance” in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. ICYMI, read here

Rema said,

“I must say it is very important that I should let everyone know that I’m not here because of the awards. I’m here because it is important to support our institutions. And when I said institutions, I mean the bodies that support you to be able to achieve these major successes; the media houses, award organisers, you know.

“\We are in a very sensitive period if we don’t give our attention to our institutions, we will miss this chance that we have. And we will never have this chance again.

Be it afrorave, afro this, afro that, last last, we go jam for afrobeats award. So, this is our chance. We [afrobeats artists] are not the first to do it. Reggae has done it before.”

Abroad-based Nigerians reveal the heartbreaking reasons they decided to leave Nigeria

Abroad-based Nigerians

Some Nigerians who have relocated abroad have shared the reasons behind their decision to leave the country in search of greener pastures.

The topic became a trending discourse on social media after popular YouTuber, Fisayo Fosudo, asked why abroad-based Nigerians finally chose to leave the country.

He asked, “People who left Nigeria, what was the thing that made you finally decide to leave?”

Many people responded, with reasons ranging from personal reasons to governance issues to security concerns, among other things.”

Read some of the comments below,

In other news, a UK-based Nigerian lawyer, Dele Olawanle, has averred that traveling or residing abroad should not be automatically considered an achievement as it depends on a person’s accomplishments in the country.

Taking to Twitter to share his opinion, Lawyer Dele stated that he knows people who relocated to the UK but have not achieved as much as those who remained in Nigeria and diligently worked their way to success.

His words,

“TAKE NOTE OF THIS👇🏿👇🏿🚁

Traveling abroad or living abroad is not an achievement but it depends on what you are doing with your life there. It is not where you are but what you are doing there.

Let me warn you that you can be busy doing nothing apart from being a part-time star on TikTok, Instagram, or other social media platforms. I have known people who have not had a stable address or a job for the last 15 years.

Time and age catch up on one quickly. The reason why I visit Nigeria regularly is because I have found that those back home are resilient, inventive, determined, and are achieving a lot despite the harsh economic conditions.

A better economy will lead to a better life for the people. Once you live here in the UK for a long time, you become a storyteller rather than an achiever. It is like a trap of destiny.

If you live abroad, don’t get carried away. Work hard, be focused, and stick to your goals and you will achieve a lot.

Do not forget that some people you left behind in your home country are doing unbelievable exploits. A regular visit to your home country will help you to take advantage of the opportunities there and here. I hope this helps someone.

Dele Olawanle is my name. I think, write and speak to make lives better. Follow me for more insights and inspiration.”

Kiekie reveals

Nigerian comedian and skitmaker, Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, popularly known as Kiekie, has revealed that she shares the financial responsibility of rent and other household bills with her husband.

Kiekie made this revelation during a recent interview with media personality Toke Makinwa. She explained that she wouldn’t feel comfortable living in a house without contributing towards the payment of rent.

Kiekie reveals

The mother of one added that sharing the financial burden of rent would allow equal ownership of the property, so that in the event of a conflict, they would share everything equally

However, Toke stated that she doesn’t buy into the idea of sharing the payment of rent with a man. In response, Kiekie clarified that it’s fine for a woman not to contribute if she doesn’t have the means, but she believes that if a woman can afford it, she can share the financial burden.

Her words,

“On my birthday fly me to Dubai, fly me to Barcelona, buy me Fendi bags, that’s beautiful. But that I won’t pay rent won’t be possible. So that when we want to fight, you carry chair, I’ll carry television, we will share everything equal. You can’t tell me get out of my house, nothing like get out of my house. We are living together”

Kiekie reveals

Speaking further, Kiekie asserted that sharing the financial responsibility would make a man respect his wife.

“I tell women this. How would you be living in a house and you are not paying rent? To me, it doesn’t make sense”

In other news, a basic Post on X (formerly known as Twitter) got people talking on the ethos surrounding the art of giving.

A Nigerian man on the platform with the handle @daveyhert, took to his page to tell the short story of how he decided not to gift a Laptop to someone simply because he became abreast with the knowledge that the person is a proud owner of an iphone 11.

His Post reads ;

“Sadly, I wanted to give a laptop to someone but went to their page and found they owned an iPhone 11. It may seem petty but I believe you’re doing just fine and you’ll eventually figure things out for yourself. Let it go to someone else who is in a more desperate position,” he on Saturday, September 9.

“P.S. it’s okay to disagree with my decision or think it unfair. It was my call to make, and I had to eliminate as many people as I could to pick one. Doesn’t mean the others don’t deserve it… I had a judgement call to make based on the available superficial info, and I made it.”
