“Portable can’t be compared to me musically and intellectually” – Singer, Terry G

Popular Nigerian singer, Gabriel Amanyi, professionally known as Terry G, has finally addressed the comparisons people have made between him and controversial singer, Portable.

Over time, music lovers have compared the self-styled ‘king of the streets’ to fast-rising street hip-hop artist, Portable, noting that their personas are quite similar.

However, speaking in an interview with Punch, the Free Madness crooner said there’s no basis for anyone to compare him to Portable.

When asked how he feels about being likened to Portable, Terry G said that though they are both into the “crazy genre” of music, they are both different personalities.

“I love Portable so much. Despite the fact that I did the ‘crazy genre’ of music, it does not mean that somebody else cannot be inspired and still unique. He is quite unique. There is nothing he has that can be compared to mine, musically and intellectually. I feel nobody should shut him out. He cannot be stopped.

If he stops talking, what else will happen? That is his style. It (controversies) did not just start from me. It started with different guys that represented the streets, and it will still continue. It is normal.” He said.

Speaking on why he has been on a music hiatus, Terry G said,

”I am still the king of the streets, even if I have not released any content in a while. It is deliberate. I had a court case which was going on underground. I could not release any content because of that. I had to use that time to focus on my family and business. I had the urge to release songs but I could not because of the contract I had. Presently, I am working on releasing more content.”

President Muhammadu Buhari has bemoaned the prolonged strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, saying enough is enough.

The president stated this on Monday in Daura, Katsina State, when he received some governors of the All Progressives Congress, legislators, and other political leaders at his residence.

“I hope that ASUU will sympathise with the people on the prolonged strike. Truly, enough is enough for keeping students at home. Don’t hurt the next generation for goodness sake.

“Students from Nigerian universities will be faced with the challenge of competing with others in a highly connected and technology-driven work space, and keeping them at home only deprives them of time, skill and opportunities to be relevant on the global stage.

“Colonial type education was geared towards producing workers in government. Those jobs are no longer there. Our young people should get education to prepare them for self-employment. Now education is for the sake of education. Through technology we are much more efficient. We should encourage our children to get education, not only to look for government jobs.” He said.

After the ‘abortion’, she said she was getting her monthly cycle regularly and didn’t see any need to return to the hospital to confirm if the abortion was successful, until recently when she started feeling something kicking in her belly, which she assumed was gas.

Her revelation has sparked different reactions on social media with netizens wanting to know more about the ‘miracle’ baby who survived the termination attempt.

“You haven’t learned your lesson” – Latasha Ngwube tackles Korra Obidi over video vowing never to put her relationship online again

Popular media personality, Latasha Ngwube, has reacted to a video of dancer Korra Obidi vowing never to put her relationship online again.

The mother of two, whose four-year marriage to American doctor Justin Dean recently hit rock bottom, vowed never to flaunt her relationship online again while recounting the role of netizens in her marriage crash.

In a viral video, Korra admits that flaunting her relationship online contributed to their messy split.

According to her, while she and Dean were still together, some jealous social media users would slide into his DM to complain about her, and this eventually led to their split, five days after the birth of their second child. Read here.

“Me, if I have another bae, I will never put him online, you people will destroy it like you destroyed my first marriage. I remember those times someone will go and email him; look at what your wife is doing everyday, how will he not run away how will he not tell me pack out of my house five days postpartum”, she said.

However, reacting, Latasha opined that Korra’s making the video is enough proof that she hasn’t learnt her lesson.

She urged her to move in silence, enjoy her own company, and stop feeding netizens with details about her life.

“Sweety even the fact that you’re making this video says you haven’t learned your lesson. Move in silence, enjoy your own company and stop feeding the onliners. Nourish yourself and work towards a beautiful life. You’re talented and strong, but social media is clearly your weak point. P.s. take responsibility for your actions. You overexposed yourself and your family but affliction need not arise a second time if you’re wise.” She wrote.

A rather interesting yet bizarre love story a lady shared on social media has stirred lots of reactions with many wondering whether or not her story is true.

The supposedly heartbroken lady took to her social media page to share a video where she revealed that her boyfriend dumped her to get married to her mother.

But a twist came when the said boyfriend retuned to the country and found love in the lady’s mother instead. She shared that her mother agreed to his marriage proposal and they got married behind her back.

Part of her message reads,

“I waited for my boyfriend for 3yrs to return to Nigeria and propose to me. He finally came back and took interest in my mum instead. My mum said yes to him and they got married without my consent… 2yrs later he returned back to Nigeria and asked if I could be his 2nd wife…”

Suspected bandit kingpin honoured with chieftaincy in Zamfara says he didn’t ask for the title

The suspected terrorist, Ado Aleru, who was recently turbaned as Sarkin Fulani in Zamfara state, has maintained that he did not ask to be given the title.

The suspected bandit kingpin was turbaned as the Sarkin Fulani on July 16 by Aliyu Marafa, Emir of Yandoto, in Tsafe LGA of the state, after the police placed Aleru on its wanted list over his alleged involvement in banditry.

Public uproar over Aleru’s coronation led the state government to suspend Marafa, who had conferred the title on Aleru, who is wanted in neighboring Katsina State for mass killings.

The Governor of Zamafara state, Matawalle, also banned traditional rulers in the state from awarding chieftaincy titles without getting government approval.

However, speaking on the reactions that trailed his coronation, Aleru, in an interview published by DW Hausa on Sunday, July 24, said he did not ask for the title, adding that it was the emir that approached him.

“This title, let me tell you the truth, I didn’t ask for it; they reached out to me regarding it. They called and informed me of what they wanted to give me. Then, I said ‘no, this shouldn’t happen’. But since I have parents, later we sat down and discussed about it, and since the new king has said what he wants to do in his kingdom, I accepted the title.” He said.

The Katsina government had placed a bounty of N5 million on information leading to the arrest of Mr. Aleru, who is accused of killing 52 people in Kadisau, a community in Faskari Local Government in 2019.

Aleru, on his part, denied taking part in the Kadisau village attack linked to him.

In his words,

“The talks about Kadisau, please, I beg you in the name of God to ask the Emir of Kadisau or look for his number and ask him the cause of the attack.”

Hilarious conversation between a Nigerian mum and son after he asked what she would do if he brings Bobrisky home as his wife (video)

Nigerian mum and son

A Nigerian man has shared the funny conversation he had with his mother about popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye better known as Bobrisky.

The young man had asked his mother what she would do if he brings the controversial crossdresser home as his wife. Without mincing words, the elderly woman said he wouldn’t dare introduce Bobrisky to her as his wife.

Nigerian mum and son

However, the man insisted on hearing how she would react in such a circumstance and she revealed that she would chase the both of them away from her house and disgrace them.

The man, who understands his mother’s personality, told her she doesn’t have the tendency to send the ‘woman’ of his choice away because she’s nice to people.

In response, his mother said her kind personality doesn’t matter in this case because she finds Bobrisky irritating and would not hesitate to send him away from her abode.

She added that Bobrisky is and will always be a man and she wouldn’t allow such a person marry her son, however, the young man insisted that the 30-year-old crossdresser is a transgender woman who has changed his manhood into that of a woman and it’s offensive to refer to him as a “He” because he’s a “She”.

Solomon Buchi dragged on Facebook for saying his fiancée is not the most beautiful and intelligent woman

Solomon Buchi dragged

Social media commentator, Solomon Buchi is currently receiving heavy backlash on Facebook for saying his fiancée, Arike, is not the most beautiful or intelligent woman.

Buchi who recently proposed to his girlfriend of one year, had on Sunday, July 24, took to his social media page to share a rather controversial writeup about his woman.

Solomon Buchi dragged

According to him, though his fiancée is not the most beautiful or intelligent woman he knows, he has chosen to do life with her because he’s not looking for perfection.

Read his full post as you scroll,

“You’re not the most beautiful woman; neither are you the most intelligent woman, but I’ve chosen to never find perfection in anyone else. I put my gaze on you, and with that commitment, we would mold ourselves for ourselves. Our perfection is in our commitment.

Solomon Buchi dragged

Stating that you’re not the most beautiful/intelligent might sound like it’s not a compliment, yeah? But it’s a realistic base for real love. Acknowledging that my woman isn’t the best, but I’m not looking for the best. I was looking for you and I found you. There’s no best, there is just someone you choose and see the best in them. This to me is the real love. Not the one that consoles itself in the faux reality that their partner is the most good looking, most intelligent, most successful person in the world. That’s disingenuous and doesn’t give room for love to thrive. My love for you isn’t about you being the best, it’s about you being you. There’s just no other you.

I love you, ayanfe. I’m committed to you. I miss you so much!!! But my love for you is stronger than distance.”

See below,

However, the post didn’t sit well with a lot of people, especially women, and they stormed his comment section to drag him to filth for speaking lowly of his fiancée, while some called him a narcissist.

Kaduna train attack: Abducted passenger who spoke in new video released by terrorists identified as a lawyer, Hassan Usman

Abducted passenger who spoke

One of the abducted passengers of the ill-fated Kaduna train who spoke in a new video released by the terrorists has been identified as a lawyer named Hassan Usman.

It would be recalled that on March 28, 2022, terrorists said to be Boko Haram members attacked the Kaduna-bound train, killed some passengers and abducted others, while some lucky passengers were left unscathed.

In a new development, the terrorists have released a heart-wrenching video showing the abducted passengers being flogged with sticks while they wailed and begged for mercy.

His words,

“I am one of those involved in the train mishap. That train belonged to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Government has the responsibility to rescue us, but has failed,” Usman said.

“We called on our relations who were willing to rescue us but the Nigerian government due to being insensitive to our plight did not allow our relations to rescue us.

“This is why we are calling on the big nations of the world such as England, America, France and the remaining international community, the likes of Saudi Arabia, to intervene in this matter with a view to finding a solution

“Truly, these people ( terrorists), their intention was not for us to even spend one week in captivity. They wanted their demands to be met so that they release us. But Nigeria showed no concern over this matter, showing no care.

“We are therefore calling on these big nations of the world, France, Saudi Arabia,England and America, the international community, ECOWAS, AU, they should please help and intervene in this matter. They should come and help us so that a solution could be reached that will enable us reunite with our families,” he added.

“All they do is press phone” – Moment wife confronted her sisters-in-law for not helping with house chores (Video)

A viral video of a wife tackling her sisters-in-law for not helping with house chores has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media.

In the trending clip, her husband’s sisters, three of them, were on their phones in the sitting room as she frantically scrambled to prepare dinner for the family after just getting back from the market.

At some point, she apparently couldn’t take them lazing around while she did all the work, so she confronted them and captured the moment on tape.

Confronting them, she noted that they never help with the house chores, as all they do is eat, relax, and be on their phones while they leave her to do all the work alone.
