President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerian youths to behave themselves so that the country can attract jobs and investors.

“This question was answered last year when there was the #EndSARS protest last year. You remember the young people that wanted to march here and remove me?
“Tell the young people to behave themselves and make the country safe, then we can attract real investors to the country”. He said.

A young Nigerian man who was reportedly arrested alongside Hushpuppi by Interpol in Dubai, has shared his first social media post in over 53 weeks.
The man on Instagram with the handle @officialpac02 said he was arrested just a week to his birthday and he saw his life that had great expectations crumble before him.
He didn’t give much details about what led to his release but he noted that the pain of incarceration and agonies of torture is what he would not wish on even his enemy.
He however confirmed that his bestfriend, Hushpuppi is still in detention.
About 16 hours ago, the young man took to his Instagram page to share a photo of himself with the caption ;
It is not funny how a dramatic turn of event can change everything forever. What seemed a quest for greener pastures turned out to be the darkest 6mths of my life. The pains of incarceration, the groans of solitude, the agonies of torture, my life that is lived with hope and great expectations was crumbling before me. A year ago today, I, Rahman(Hushpuppi) and some other friends got arrested in Dubai, it was a week to my birthday, I thought the end has come. How am I supposed to make it out of these? I came to Dubai for opportunities, but here I am, behind guarded bars. The experience was not palatable, I wouldn’t wish it on an enemy. Miraculously they got nothing on me. Freedom is good, but the experience remains indelible as I can’t free my thoughts and minds from the grips of confinements. I still have nightmares. For all it is worth, I am happy to walk the street and take-in the air as a free man. I am thankful for life and for the grace to look forward to my next birthday as a celebration of life and not behind bars counting down days with possibilities of worst outcomes. Life has not been the same since, more so, with my best friend and benefactor(Hushpuppi) still in detention. I hope he gets lucky too. I hope he returns back to his friends and families in one healthy piece.
I want to thank everyone that stood by me during these trying times. I want to say thank you to obakaakaki for the ceaseless love and affection

Singer Lyta’s babymama, Kemi Ayorinde, has yet again taken to her social media page to go on a lengthy rant, this time around against his manager, Seyi Awonuga.
According to Kemi, Seyi is stifling Lyta’s career and she has made him lose so many good opportunities that would have taken his music to the next level.
She said throughout her relationship with Lyta, he was always crying endlessly about his career, not making money and not being able to feed his own family, and all these point to a fact that Seyi is a bad manager.
Her posts read ;
For many days and months throughout our relationship, @official lvta cried endlessly to me on phone calls about his career, not making money, not being able to feed his own family, not being able to do things for himself…he made me understand his public life, to his private life, THE REAL HIM vs the people outsiders see.
And as his girlfriend and bestfriend who he could confide in about anything, I took him in, which was what made me take on some of his responsibilities by giving him monthly money for his family and so on
Before I gave birth to Aari, Lyta was on the edge of dropping an Ep, he had already done his music camp, chosen all his songs, done his features and for the first time, I sensed real and genuine happiness coming through his voice when he spoke about his upcoming project, until a few days before I gave birth, he came to me crying that @shigh_lofe had just busted into the studio and shouting that everything was cancelled, i asked him why and he said she never gave him a reason, she just cancelled it.
The thing is Lyta has been in the industry for 4years and only as 7 singles out. He as lost all his closest friends because of @shigh_lofe, he has lost FUCKING BIG opportunities because of @shigh_lofe
@shigh_lofe you’ve done nothing but shamed this boy behind closed doors, p.s he used to hide his phone under the duvet when you would burst into his room insulting, controlling and speaking less of him but you come on the gram acting otherwise
@officialelyta although I despise you so much currently with everything you did to me despite the FACT that I was the one who always had your back regardless, and although @shighlofe as turned you against me, I would never watch you suffer and keep quiet about it, WE AIN’T the same, despite all this, i still want nothing to do with you, but I want you to grow and progress like you always talked about, I wanna see you succeed, I wann see you do things you wish you could without someone using a remote control on you.
You’ve been bad to me and with everything we’ve both been through, especially this last few months, I want you to know that I see potential in you and that progress is yours, LET GO OF THE SHIM HOLDING YOU DOWN we’re all rooting for you, ALL OF US (you know us)
