“This looks like someone made a mistake in the event planning. Who noticed that man on Black suit? Looks like he was casting and binding in his mind. Korra please have mercy”, another user wrote

In April this year, Ebuka boarded a taxi from Port Harcourt to Choba, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, for a job and never got to his destination.

“When he got to Rumuokoro, he entered another vehicle. The people inside the vehicle were talking, he was beginning to feel uncomfortable, so he wanted to come down, and they refused to let him,” Chituru explained.
“When he tried to argue with them, they brought out a gun. At that point, he realized he had gotten into the wrong hand. Then they blindfolded him. He saw himself in a location where he met other people in a room.
“He said every day, they come and they pick one or two persons. Their number kept reducing, until they moved them to another location.”
According to Chituru, the victims escaped when a local vigilante group in the Ozobulu area in Anambra State, intercepted the vehicle used in moving them to another location.
“The people wanted to move them to another location, they now encountered a vigilante group that questioned the kidnappers about what they were carrying,” he said.
“Before they knew it, a fight ensued, and they started firing shots. While they were fighting, he removed his blindfold and tapped some persons who were inside the vehicle with him. They now opened the vehicle and ran into the bush,”
Chituru beckoned on members of the public to be mindful of the kind of vehicles they enter in Rivers State.

During an exclusive interview with YouTuber Tayo Aina, Davido shared how, when he began his career as a young boy, Don Jazzy was his mentor.
Describing their first encounter, Davido noted that it was an extraordinary experience, comparing it to encountering Jesus.
According to him, it took courage to stand in his presence during their initial meeting.
“Don Jazzy was my mentor. I remember the first time I saw him, it felt like I was looking at Jesus. It was truly amazing.” Davido said.
Don Jazzy, in response to the interview, expressed his admiration for Davido’s accomplishments. He commended Davido’s unwavering work ethic, which continues to inspire him despite the singer’s immense success and wealth.
Taking to his Instagram page, Don Jazzy shared an excerpt from the interview and expressed his pride in Davido’s achievements.
“And that’s how life is, @davido. Now I look at all you have achieved, and I am super proud of you. Even with all that success and wealth, I look at your work ethic, and I am highly motivated. I’m glad that as a mentor, I haven’t let you down too. We thank GOD. More blessings, bro.” He wrote.
A 22-year-old female truck driver, Ademola Omolade has claimed that she is unable to operate an automobile despite comfortably driving a 22-tire vehicle.
The truck driver who is a resident of Ogbomosho, Oyo State, and originally from Osun State has subsequently gained notoriety online for her driving abilities.
Omolade recently spoke with THE PUNCH about her experiences, difficulties, and other factors related to being a young woman who drives a truck.
The young woman, who started driving at the age of 19, described how her parents encouraged her to pursue a trade after she finished her secondary schooling.
They advised her to pursue a career in hairdressing or tailoring, but she had no interest in either. She was visiting with her aunt at the time in Lagos State, where her aunt’s husband was a truck driver.
When her uncle was given responsibility for two trucks, he asked if she would be able to help him handle them, and she said yes. She became fascinated with driving trucks while handling the trucks for her uncle; this marked the start of her journey to become a truck driver.
Speaking on how she is inexperienced at driving a four-wheeler vehicle, she said;
“People find it funny that I can drive an articulated vehicle which has 22 tyres but I can not drive a car which has four tyres.”
Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed that he didn’t work out to gain his tight abs.
This was disclosed by the singer in an interview with Spotify, who also noted that he developed his physique via hardship and working odd jobs.
He described how, when he and his family were living in Benin City, Edo state, he used to carry buckets of water.
Rema claims that he continued to hustle and grow more during his time in Ghana.
He said;
“I don’t go to the gym. I always had my body patterns, way back since Benin, fetching water, carrying buckets of water, you know, wheelbarrows.
When I was in Ghana when I was hustling, doing hard labour. I was already getting ripped out from whatever I was doing. You know, days that I starved, my packs just came out, like.”
In other news, Rema shared his excitement at achieving his goal of headlining a concert in India.
The Mavin singer, who is currently on his much-anticipated Indian Tour, took to social media to share a video of an old interview where he spoke about his dream to shut down India.
In the interview he granted in 2020, Rema had questioned why Nigerian artistes are not breaking into the music scene in India, like they are doing in Europe and America.
He added that he wants to take Afrobeats to the next level and expressed his desire to conquer India with his music.
“You see Afrobeats, I want to take it to the next level. I want us to get into the India zone. Why can’t we shut down India?” he passionately said in the interview.
Three years after the interview, the 23-year-old singer, known for his hit song “Calm Down”, has achieved the impressive feat of selling out a concert in Delhi, India.
Videos of the concert have been shared on the internet, and it’s evident that he captivated his Indian fans with his electrifying performance.
Sharing a video mash-up of the interview alongside scenes from the concert, Rema expressed gratitude to those who believed in his dream and Indians for the love and support he received in the country.
“3 years later I did it! Thank you India for your overwhelming love & my heart to those who BELIEVED,” he wrote.

In other news, a newly married couple has caused quite a buzz on social media after they dished out a piece of advice to online users.
The Ireland-based Nigerian couple, who tied the nuptial knot a few weeks ago, expressed their strong endorsement for marriage on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, recently.

Nigerian singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has caused a significant buzz online with his recent musical performance in Canada.
The “Bounce” crooner, who is currently on his Canada tour, held a concert in Vancouver where he invited several women from the audience to join him on stage.
A video trending online shows the 23-year-old singer instructing the scantily-dressed women to whine their waists and warm up to dance with him.
He, then, took turns dancing seductively with each of the women and grabbing their behinds as he deemed fit. One of the women, however, appeared to be uncomfortable with the way he was rocking her bum.
The video has sparked a ton of reactions online, with many advising Ruger to be cautious of how he dances and touches women in other countries, since they may decide to sue him for sexual assault and harassment in the future.

Netizens have taken to social media to criticize Davido’s first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, for taking their daughter, Imade, swimming.
A video of the 8-year-old enjoying a swim with her peers, while her mother filmed, is currently making the rounds online and has elicited a barrage of unexpected reactions.
In the video, the mother of one can be heard cheering her daughter on in the background as she swims perfectly.
Surprisingly, the adorable video didn’t sit well with some social media users who had a lot to say about it.
Some suggested that since one of Davido’s children, Ifeanyi, drowned in a pool in October last year, he probably wouldn’t be comfortable seeing Imade in a swimming pool.
Reacting, a social media user @layomartins wrote,“This video just made me to remember ifeanyi it is well”.
@sweet_cherry, “Indirectly mocking davido but he is fine and complete with chioma. no competition with chioma”.
