Tacha Akide, an influencer and reality TV star, has generated internet discussion after revealing her observations about the financial hardships faced by Nigerians residing in the UK.

The former BBNaija housemate, who is currently living in the UK, expressed in a recent video her belief that many Nigerians living overseas are not as financially secure as is generally believed.

Contrary to common assumption, Tacha said that because of the high cost of living in the UK, many Nigerians are barely making ends meet, and some are even living less comfortably than their Nigerian counterparts.

Tacha added that many Nigerians, in her opinion, are really living more comfortably than those outside, particularly given the growing cost of living in the UK.

“You see those of you always having inferiority complex in Nigeria, thinking everyone here is rich, most people here are broke. The most broke people I have met are actually the people I met in the UK. Everyone is holding themselves. It is expensive.”

“Trust me when I tell you that the living situation here is not rosy. In fact, most people in Nigeria are living better off than people actually living here. So if you want to move, go ahead, but not with the mentality of ‘oh, it’s all rosy.’ You see yourself spending 300k on a freaking taxi in a freaking day, 1 million on a car in a week unless you want to use the train. Think about your decision,” she said.

Nigerian musician David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, demonstrated his empathy by paying a courtesy call to his friend and business associate, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, who is undergoing treatment for cancer.

The founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, now known as the Nxtion Family, and a Nigerian pastor living in the UK recently shared a video on social media about his fight with cancer.

Ikorodu Bois, a well-known Nigerian mimic group that specializes in reenacting scenes from movies and music videos, made headlines once more with their version of Tyler Perry’s popular film Straw.

The group, who previously uploaded a video of themselves imitating some of the cast members of the Netflix film Straw, recently published a new video in which they recreated Wizkid’s IDK song video with Zlatan Ibile.

In the video, which has gone viral on the nation’s social media sites, the child used makeup to mimic the appearance of some of the film’s characters, including Taraji P. Henson, the main role.

“The young girl who flawlessly portrayed Taraji P. Henson’s role was the video’s high point, evoking strong reactions from many, including popular celebrities in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

According to controversial comedian DeeOne, some Nigerian celebrities, like as actress Genevieve Nnaji, are having their businesses negatively impacted by their lack of social media awareness.

According to him, celebrities with enigmatic personalities hardly ever make the news and don’t trend on social media.

In support of his argument, the reality star asserted that Peller, a well-known TikToker, is more significant in Nigerian online culture than Genevieve Nnaji.

“Genevieve’s lack of social media activity is not helping her,” DeeOne stated on a recent episode of Pulse’s Hot Takes podcast. Genevieve’s brand is being damaged by her infrequent social media posts. To put it another way, someone who doesn’t publish frequently isn’t in the public eye.

“What makes her [Genevieve] different from other actresses? Number one from when? Since which year? Peller right now is more relevant on the internet space in Nigeria than Genevieve Nnaji.”

Simi Drey, a Nigerian media celebrity, was overjoyed when her husband, Julian Flosbach, gave her an unexpected push present.

The public personality joked that she never got a push present from her spouse, so on June 23, 2025, she took to her official Instagram account to tell her fans what he had done.

In November 2024, Simi Drey and her spouse announced the birth of their first kid, which was widely shared on social media.

Simi recently revealed on social media that her husband, Julian, had purchased a boat for her after she humorously reminded him not to give her a push present. She claims that since he bought her a yacht, she has been unable to express herself. She also conveyed her appreciation.

“This man got me a boat after I joked that I wasn’t getting a push present,” she said. A real boat. 😭 I haven’t moved on yet. Still unable to speak. I never realized I needed this gift, yet it was the most unexpected and memorable one. Beyond words, I am grateful.

Simi Drey was shown in the video strolling down a pier when she noticed the yacht her husband had purchased for her. Before setting sail into the sunset, the pair exchanged a kiss and an embrace.

Deacon Famous, also known as Nigerian skitmaker Udaya Awesome Chidiebere, has responded to rumors that he and his senior colleague Angela Okorie are at odds.

A video showed the two celebrities giving one other a heartfelt embrace after they recently met at a coworker’s child’s naming ceremony.

The reality star then compared herself to Beyonce, a well-known musician who is also known for her lack of culinary skills.

Erica stated that despite not knowing how to cook, Beyonce is still a success. She wrote: “Beyonce doesn’t know how to cook and she’s still a success.”

Following a subtle jab at a group of people, Nigerian actress and model Annie Macaulay-Idibia has drawn criticism online. Remember how 2Baba, the actress’s ex-husband, declared their split in January 2025, with no explanation given?

However, when 2Baba revealed his engagement to Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly, his divorce from Annie Macaulay took an unexpected turn. Ms. Osawaru verified her official marriage to the “African Queen” singer in the weeks that followed.

In a recent post, Annie Macaulay stated that someone was irritated by her fortitude in spite of everything she had endured.

Fans of the actress were left wondering, even though the person’s name was kept a secret.

She said: “Somebody mad at me because you are suffering the way they expected to”.

Recall that Annie Macaulay introduced herself with her maiden name, “Macaulay,” at the 17th Headies Awards in April 2025, confirming her divorce from 2Baba Idibia.

Yinka Theisen has stated her displeasure with her estranged husband, Linc Edochie, and she has promised to take revenge.

Linc and Yinka abruptly ended their relationship less than a month after announcing their union.

Yinka was upset about this and threatened Linc on Facebook for putting her under the bus.

She wrote:

 “You may all continue to laugh at me. I had a quarrel with Linc this morning and was upset and threatened to break up. Next thing I was blocked and he broke up in the most embarrassing way.

“His brother Leo then made a nasty recording about me. Keep laughing at me but one thing I am not is a coward. God judges all and my case is not different. 

“The same Linc who gave May my number is defending himself. Thank you apostle Ugo Wems for uplifting me tonight! 

“It is sad that a man I love can throw me under the bus over an argument because of fear. Since he has cowardly embarrassed me on social media, I will respond in kind. Just for the record, I am doing great now!!” 

Woli Arole, a well-known comedian who is now a prophet, has criticized fellowship leaders at Nigerian institutions for taking advantage of students by having them bring food as their first fruit.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Woli Arole bemoaned the development.

He also disclosed that on college campuses across the nation, fellowship leaders are now called “Papas and Mamas” in the classroom.

Expressing his grievance, Arole said “what nonsense”.

“I heard they are already calling you ‘Papa and Mama’ in university because you’re a fellowship leader, and you are also telling students to bring their foodstuffs as FIRST FRUIT. What nonsense.”

In the first episode of the reality program reunion, which debuted on Monday night, Zion and Chinwe, former Big Brother Naija Season 9 housemates and ex-lovers, got into a furious disagreement over who ended their relationship with whom.

According to Zion, he ended his relationship with Chinwe because their goals were incompatible.

He was rebutted by Chinwe, who called his assertion “a lie.” She argued that Zion’s carefree demeanor was the reason their relationship terminated.

Zion said: “I basically ended things [broke up with Chinwe].”

The host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, asked: “Why?”

Zion replied: “Because I felt like we were moving in different places in our lives; how she let it play out.”

Chinwe inferred: “What Zion will not do is sit here and lie on me now.”

Zion asked: “How did I lie on you?”

Chinwe replied: “You could have owned the narrative, my love. What do you mean you broke up with me?”

She described how, despite her request for Zion to come home and spend time with her before she left at noon the following day, he went out clubbing all night the day before she returned to her post.

According to her, Zion turned off his phone and said he couldn’t get a ride at the moment, so he drove past them to his friend’s place the following day.

Chinwe asserted that because she disclosed on the reality show that she had sponsored Zion, his family and friends despise her.

Vincent Martins Otse, a Nigerian social media user and vocal critic, has spoken out against the abuse of Abuja’s public primary school students.

VDM revealed his traumatic experience with the students—who have been absent from school—in a video that has been making the rounds on social media.

He pointed out that false information on the rise in the minimum wage from N30,000 to N80,000 had been spread. In actuality, though, teachers continue to collect a pitiful N30,000. Then VDM said that the teachers had refused to teach the kids, leaving them stranded, since they are owed.

Therefore, he urged the Nigerian government to investigate the matter, emphasizing that the children’s future is of utmost importance.

“For over 9weeks our public primary school kids in the federal capital territory have been out of school because the president Tinubu administration lied about the increment of the minimum wage,according to their books they claimed they are paying these primary school teachers 80 thousand naira and above depending on their level”

“Sadly they lied to them because till now they are still being paid 30 thousand naira and upon this they have been owed salaries and for this reasons the teachers decided to go on strike

@officialasiwajubat this is not the future you promised Nigerians.” “Our children be limited to a brighter future without this basic education, the greed of your government should not cost them a path to the good life @officialefcc please we demand a deep investigation on the board in charge of their salaries so as to clear this mess and send these innocent kids back to school.”

A pregnant woman was criticized by a man in a tweet for feeling disgusted by her husband. The remark went viral.

In an anonymous communication, the expectant mother expressed her unease, saying she couldn’t envision having an intimate relationship with her husband because of his unsanitary behavior.

In response, a man on X criticized the expectant mother for not desiring to have sex with her disheveled husband. He stood up for the spouse, arguing that he must be busy considering how to support the family.

He gave the example of himself, saying that he had not brushed or combed his hair in two weeks since returning home and that he had only had three baths during that time.

“My wife is in your shoe too,” he told the pregnant woman and urged her to “find a way.” 

Wasiu Ayinde, better known by his stage name Kwam 1, is a well-known Nigerian artist who has denied rumors of a reconciliation with his former wife Fathia Titi Marshall, claiming she is no longer in his life.

In response to the widely circulated rumors that his marriage to Aderopo Emmanuella was in difficulty, the Fuji maestro made this statement.

After the Sallah celebration two weeks ago, there were rumors that Emmanuella had been forced to leave Kwam 1’s home due to his purported reconciliation with his estranged wife, Titi Marshal, and her kids.

In response to the widely circulated rumors, the 68-year-old musician denied reconciliation with Titi Marshal in an exclusive interview with well-known journalist Stella Dimoko-Korkus.

“I’m not estranged with Emmanuella,” Kwam 1 stated in response to his purported split from her. There aren’t any issues. It’s normal for women to express jealousy. The rules you are attempting to establish are the sole issue in a partnership.

“Titi Marshall is gone forever but I can’t shut my eyes out on the 3 children we shared together because she is gone.

“Emmanuella brought this upon herself because I have told her to leave social media and concentrate on her business. But I guess she didn’t like it that way. She has every right to her own reaction. She’s not getting younger anymore, she already has 2 grownups at the University, and the third one is about to join them. So, these are issues we need to ponder over, not social media things. I don’t have any plans to take a new wife. Emmanuella is my only wife”, he stated.

In the midst of their family drama, netizens now have something fresh to discuss thanks to Yul Edochie’s brother Linc Edochie and his new wife Yinka.

The filmmaker publicly disassociated himself from his new wife’s scandalous actions against his brother’s estranged first wife, May Edochie, as previously reported.

Linc condemned internet harassment and reaffirmed his commitment to peace in a strong and impassioned message. He continued by emphasizing the value of maintaining peace as an individual rather than “in a union filled with landmines.”

This came after Yinka said that enough was enough and made May Edochie’s direct line public. She asserted that May has been playing the victim and has manipulated her supporters against her.

Recently, Linc unfollowed Yinka on Instagram, perhaps reciprocating the gesture. Shortly afterward, Yinka announced on her page that she and actor Linc Edochie were no longer together. Less than a month had passed since the announcement of their wedding.

“In all things we say thank you, Lord!! My relationship with Line is over. No hard feelings at all. I am very sad, but in all things we thank God.”

In yet another unexpected turn of events, the woman who lives overseas posted a photo of Linc Edochie while praising him and calling him her “Odoguwu.”

Wizkid, a Nigerian Afrobeats artist, has sparked strong feelings on the internet by praising his partner Jada P and newborn daughter Morayo.

As you may remember, Wizkid and Jada P made news in November 2024 after rumors of their baby girl’s arrival went viral online.

Jada P initially posted a photo of herself sitting with two other women and a child in her lap in March 2025. But all that was visible were the baby’s white stocking feet and pink scarf. She had a face shield.

The singer thanked Jada from the bottom of his heart for giving him a baby girl who bore a striking resemblance to his late mother during his concert at the 2025 Hollywood Bowl.

He said: “She gave me a daughter that look exactly just like my mum.”

The Essence hitmaker went on to say that the arrival of his daughter had brought him and his family a great deal of affection, which he was prepared to share with the audience.

In a recent interview with Adesope Live, Nigerian singer Oniyinde Azeez, better known by his stage name Zinoleesky, stated that fatherhood has changed his life.

He welcomed his first child, a daughter named Zendaya, in December 2023, and his second child, a son named Zafar, in April of this year. Zinoleesky said that fatherhood has assisted him in overcoming some bad habits, explaining that he realized he needed to stay focused for the benefit of his kids.

He said, “Fatherhood means quite a lot because I will say I’m a changed person since my boy got here. There are some things that I would have done before or let’s say the way I do some things I have reduced just because of the boy.

“I have to keep my head down, keep my head straight. And, it has been a blessing, too.”

Uriel Oputa, an entrepreneur and former Big Brother Naija star, has spoken out against age-shaming, especially when it comes to women.

Uriel criticized Nigerian males in an Instagram post for making fun of women for getting older, asking why such a normal aspect of life should be denigrated.

The reality TV personality emphasized that growing older is a blessing, saying she would rather age than pass away too soon.

She said, “This is going to be pinpointed to Nigerian men. It is an insult to God to use age discrimination against a woman, so I posted a video and you are not coherent with what the video teaches you, what you get out of the video is ‘oh you’re getting older,’ because you’re not smart enough to digest and use the concept that was taught to you to better your life but what you hold on to is that you’re getting old.

“Think twice before insulting a woman because she is growing gracefully and beautifully, it is not an insult to age, it’s a blessing.

“There is no shame in aging, aging is a privilege. I’d rather grow old than be six feet under with regrets. Some people have all the money in the world and still wish they had one more day to breathe. Don’t mock what you cannot understand, one day life will remind you.”

Since then, the video has generated positive responses on the internet, with admirers complimenting her self-assurance and defiance of social pressure.

Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, the founder of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry (CMDM), has come under fire from well-known Nigerian comedian Klintoncod, whose true name is Ekene Clinton Egbuna, for his miracle products.

Prophet Fufeyin would be in jail or a mental health facility, according to the comic, who didn’t mince words.

Klintoncod asserted that the pastor was selling miracle things to his church members in order to scam them.

“Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin is a nuisance to Christianity. in a sane society, he will be in jail or a mental health institution for always defrauding his gullible members through sales of all manner of items,” he said.

Klintoncod claims that Prophet Jeremiah was among those who discouraged church attendance. He also attacked the congregation of the clergyman, calling them credulous. In the video, Klintoncond stated, “People sit down wearing suits and they listen.”

According to earlier reports, Prophet Jeremiah caused a stir when he released a video showing him advocating for women to wear nightwear to bed with their spouses in order to effectively reproduce.

Social media users’ reactions to the cleric’s video were divided, with many denouncing the incident.

In response to the ongoing Edochie family crisis, Nollywood actress Esther Nwachukwu, better known by her stage as Esther Sky, has advised May Edochie to remove her estranged husband Yul Edochie’s last name.

The tension in the family has been exacerbated by the current feud between May and Yul’s brother, Linc Edochie’s new wife, Yinka, who posted personal phone numbers online.

Esther asserted that Yul’s family, which included Nollywood actress Rita Edochie, was united against May in a widely shared Instagram video.

Esther believes that May Edochie has established herself and doesn’t need to be associated with the Edochie name any more.

She said, “With all due respect, drop Yul Edochie’s name, so that there would be peace. Even if your documents are associated with May Yul Edochie, go to court. You are winning right now, there’s nothing special about the name. Post online, give us your new name.”

Esther added, “The family has planned against her. All Yul Edochie’s siblings and brothers have been bought, because if they’re not discussing something about Queen May behind closed doors, the new wife wouldn’t come online and drag Queen May for no reason.”

The renowned actor Pete Edochie was also criticized by her for keeping quiet about the ongoing family strife.

She said, “I’m calling out Pete Edochie. Pete Edochie, sir, with all due respect I’m calling you to put a stop to this madness going on in your family, you are the one to put a stop to this, enough is enough.”

Well-known Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has refuted the persistent myths about her persona, characterizing herself as a “free spirit” with a golden heart.

The actress, who is praised for her skill and outspoken nature, said on Instagram that, contrary to popular belief, she doesn’t harbor resentment or focus on negative.

She chooses to live each day with love, laughter, and serenity instead, and she accepts forgiveness.

You should be aware of one thing about me: I have a pure heart and a free spirit. She wrote, “I don’t hold grudges, no matter what, and I forgive easily.”

Angela related a recent incident in which a woman inquired about how she handles the hate she receives.

The actress claims that her answer was straightforward: “I forgive them even before they offend me.”

She clarified that although while she might respond at the time, like any other person, she eventually decides to let go and go on.

Ik Osakioduwa, a Nigerian media personality, has once again made waves on the internet with a daring warning for women who view relationships as a business deal.

In response to a popular video that showed two women discussing whether or not women should always demand money from men they date, the Nigerian Idol presenter expressed his thoughts. One woman in the video criticized others who build their relationships on men’s financial contributions.

Ik quickly sparked a social media frenzy by reposting the video with a powerfully worded message.

The media personality said “I’m a traditional man. A Nigerian man. We are used to taking care of our women. However, it’s truly disgusting to see women reduce the basis of a relationship to money. You are a person, NOT a product. And I’m a man, NOT an ATM.”

Fans, feminists, and traditionalists clashed in the comment section of his message, which instantly triggered a heated internet debate.

@chi_babeeee69, didn’t hold back: “Men haven’t even seen anything! You guys made us this way. Love bomb us, use us, ghost us. Now you cry when we demand compensation? Please rest!”

Another commenter, @lemonadeswithlemons, wrote: “You’d be shocked how many men want to be used. That’s how they feel important — by spending money. They created the rulebook, now they’re tearing the pages?”

Others said, @oraclegodwayne added humor to the debate: “You are a Person, not a Product. And I am not an ATM. Even ATM gives you your own money!”

@l.tobiloba, bluntly stated: “There are many orphans roaming around. Your boyfriend is not your parent or sponsor.”

Nigerian musician Tiwa Savage was recently attacked by an online user who criticized her latest photos.

One of her fans said that the well-known singer does not look as beautiful in real life after the single mother of one posted sultry pictures of herself on Instagram.

In response, Tiwa said he should admit he wanted to meet her since she is better in person.

“You wish. I’m even better in real life. Just say you wish to meet me in person, but shame go catch you, you no go fit talk”.

Fans and social media users have responded to Wizkid’s longtime partner Jada Pollock’s recent video in a variety of ways.

Remember when Jada and Wizkid recently revealed their baby girl, Morayo, to the world? Everyone was raving about how beautiful she was and how much she looked like her father.

When Jada displayed Morayo’s dress in the video, it became clear that Burna Boy’s ex-girlfriend Stefflon Don had styled her.

Fans responded to this revelation in waves, with many wondering if Stefflon Don was trying to rejoin the circle.

But soon after, Jada’s engagement finger—which was encrusted with a big, glittering rock—took center stage in the film. Fans have been speculating about Wizkid’s engagement for years, and some have made fun of Jada for being a “baby mama.”

It’s now difficult to determine whether Jada Pollock is still Wizkid’s baby mama or anything more ithan that in light of the new findings.

Nasboi made fun of Sabinus’ comedic approach, challenged him to release a song, and agitated X with a remark about “low budget CP.”

With a N1 million wager, Nasboi challenged his colleague Sabinus to release music, but he would just perform the intro and outro. What began as lighthearted banter between Sabinus and Lawal, two of Nigeria’s biggest comedians Fans can’t get enough of the drama surrounding Michael Nasiru Bolaji, often known as Nasboi, and how quickly it escalated into a heated internet dispute.

It all started when Sabinus posted an unsubtle warning on his X page (previously Twitter).

“Nasboi Nasboi Nasboi Avoid Me O No Start Beef Wey You NO Fit Finish ”

When Nasboi, who is well-known for his comedic impersonations and nascent musical career, clapped back with venom, the remark—which many took to be a joke—quickly became heated.

He wrote: “Tag me na @Sabinus1_ you dey fear? Comedian but all your jokes end in sorrows” That line alone sent social media into a frenzy, but the real punches were just warming up.

Sabinus fired another shot, saying: “If you good for comedy, why you run go do music @iamnasboi”

Nasboi, clearly not in the mood to let things slide, replied: Do music if you fit na @Sabinus1_ Low budget CP.

Sabinus took things a step further, announcing: “Watch out for my music @iamnasboi watch out!! NEXT WEEK ”.

But Nasboi, wasn’t done, delivering a final blow that had many netizens hollering: “Lmao! Weyre say m wan drop music, @Sabinus1_ you go still cry for the end… Make we bet 1 million, na outro and intro you go do.”

According to disturbing reports, a well-known Nigerian preacher is currently being held by the police on grave charges.

Stan Alieke, Speed Darlington’s former attorney, revealed the startling tale on social media, exposing the cleric’s private affairs.

Stan claims that he saw the pastor pleading for forgiveness when he ran into him at his friend, a Commissioner of Police, at work. He was allegedly informed that the pastor was well-known for torturing children in the church and using their blood for rituals when he asked about the offense.

Since then, Stan Alieke has urged the Nigerian government to control pastors, igniting contentious discussions on social media.

Stan posted on his Instagram page:

“I was in a friend’s office who is a CP of police to follow up a case on Thursday & I saw a very popular pastor kneeling and begging for forgiveness. I asked the CP what the issue & they told me that the pastor rap*d a minor & that he’s a notorious ra*ist. That he looks for menstruating minors who are vir*ins& sleeps with them and then smears their blood on himself.”

“He said that what gives him power to perform miracles, same in miracles, Well, he will be abscent in church today & they will tell members that Daddy GO traveled without them knowing that Daddy GO is currently in detention for being a serial r*pist/ ritalist. This is where eagerness to display power has gotten us.”

“Nobody cares abt teaching the word of God which is the core of the Christian faith, rather most pastors are going the extra mile to display power and gather members. I’m a Christian, proudly so but I think it’s time Christianity should be strictly regulated. Pastors should be strictly regulated not just by CAN or PFN but by the govn’t.”

“These prophecies or so-called miracles that most of them claim to perform should be regulated. All these shenanigans of some pastors pushing people down or dragging them so as to make them fall under anointing and the victims in some cases sustaining grave injuries or giving false prophecies to persons so as to fraudulently extort money from the persons should be looked into.”

The Bible says that everything should be done in moderation, all these unscrupulous tactics employed by some pastors/ prophets are bringing disrepute to Christendom.”

Valentina, a woman from Abuja, has stated that she cannot date a person who does not smoke marijuana.

She commented on Friday, “I know this might sound silly, but I can’t date someone who doesn’t smoke marijuana.”

After months of abandoning his church, Nollywood actor Yul Edochie announced its rebirth, which sparked backlash on the internet.

The actress, who recently had a baby, started True Salvation Ministry, an online ministry, in early 2024 but stopped doing anything after just a few services.

Edochie claimed to work miracles throughout its brief existence, and at least one woman testified in public about being healed during a ceremony.

The movie star recently announced on Instagram that he is resuming his ministry activities, but under the new name and guidance of True Gospel and Eternal Salvation Ministry.

The actor clarified that his redesigned ministry would combine Christian doctrine with traditional beliefs. He made the announcement on a promotional brochure in traditional clothing, referring to himself as both a prophet and a traditionalist.

Many Nigerians on the internet took issue with this change, particularly since Yul had earlier stated that God had told him to resume his traditional ways. Since then, the news has generated a range of responses, some of which have questioned the spiritual validity of his changing course.

Eucharia Anunobi, a seasoned actress, has warned Christians against dancing to secular music.

According to the former movie star who is now a preacher, Christians who dance to secular music are “dancing with the devil.”

She cautioned Christians who want to go clubbing to dance to gospel music and encouraged them to find joy in godly ways.

In a video sent via her TikTok page, the actress said, “If you want to club, club with Christ. Stop dancing with the devil. I’m the catalyst here to awaken you to your new reality.”

Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman (VDM), is a social media activist who has responded to his older brother Mark Otse’s heartfelt video about his recent social media silence.

Mark, who struggled to explain the situation but emphasized the need for public support and intercession, was obviously shaken as he asked followers to pray for his brother in the widely shared video.

He clarified that he had been profoundly impacted by the many murders of farmers and herders, especially in Jos and Benue.

The activist claims that he has been emotionally and intellectually exhausted by his studies into the conflict’s underlying roots.

VDM added that the violence in Jos has been going on for more than ten years and did not start suddenly. The same pattern continues, violence breaks out, citizens demonstrate, service chiefs travel to the impacted areas, and life goes on without any meaningful remedies, he explained.

He challenged the government’s strategy, posing questions about what officials were doing incorrectly and what steps should be taken to put an end to the situation once and for all. The president and the governor of Benue state were openly criticized by VDM a few days prior for their handling of recent killings in the area.

Following his bizarre interaction with Davido, Ghanaian TikToker Ananzoofficial has garnered media attention. The internet celebrity had previously made headlines when he was seen dancing to Davido’s brand-new song, “With You.”

The singer was pleased and assured him that he would give him the $5,000, but this did not happen right away. Ananzo recently sent a subtly reminding video to Davido’s website, stating that he had not yet kept his word.

In a recent event, Ananzo has received the $5,000 that Davido had promised him. Ananzo has received praise on the internet for his response and modest demeanor.

Remember, VDM received an emotional note from Ananzoofficial, the Ghanaian TikToker who was gifted $5 by Davido. Many people were drawn to a video of the joyful man dancing on the platform, so VDM sent Davido the film.

The man was spotted thanking the critic for being a heavenly connector in a recent development that went viral online.

The sight of young and old Christians congregating in God’s presence for a worship event featuring Mercy Chinwo was breathtaking.

Over 50,000 people attended the Twenzetu Kwa Yesu 2025 performance in Tanzania, which was conducted by the Nigerian gospel musician. It was a night of intense praise and worship.

Videos showed the electrifying atmosphere and fervent worshippers as Chinwo enthralled the audience with her upbeat renditions of her big songs, Excess Love and My Lover. Despite her recent difficulties with online critic VeryDarkMan, the event demonstrated Mercy Chinwo’s enormous popularity and the strong faith of her Tanzanian following.

The singer used social media as a platform to thank God and everyone who honored her by being there. Chinwo posted on Instagram:

“All glory to Jesus! 🙌🙌Over 50,000 youths gathered to raise the banner of Jesus here in Tanzania 🇹🇿 at Twen’Zetu Kwa Yesu 🔥 vibing to our sound “My Lover” was absolutely surreal 😮😮💃💃The joy, the energy, the love, and the glory of God were truly palpable in the arena. I’m deeply grateful to witness this great revival. Thank You, Jesus! 🙏.”

On Friday, ustice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, postponed further proceedings in the case of Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu ThankGod, often known as Eezee Tee, a music promoter and former manager of gospel singer Mercy Chinwo, until September 26, 2025.

A seven-count amended indictment brought by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC, is pending trial against ThankGod and his business, Eezee Global Concepts Limited.

Allegations of money laundering involving several hundred thousand dollars and foreign currency malpractice are part of the charges.

The case was transferred to Justice Aneke for further proceedings after being first arraigned before Justice Owoeye in the same court.

According to one of the allegations, the defendant allegedly violated the Foreign Exchange Monitoring and Miscellaneous (Provisions) Act by negotiating a foreign exchange transaction with an individual while not being an authorized foreign exchange dealer allowed by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Mohammed Timta was the first witness called by the prosecution, which was headed by Bilkisu Buhari-Bala, at the hearing on Friday.

Chikaosolu Ojukwu, SAN, the defense attorney, told the court that the parties were almost at a resolution and asked for more time to complete the talks. He went on to say that if the talks didn’t work out, the prosecution would go to trial.

The request was granted by Justice Aneke after the submissions, and the case was postponed to September 26, 2025, for another hearing.

Tunji Adeleke, the chairman of the Osun State Local Government Service Commission, recently described his experience at an Ibiza nightclub.

Tunji said he was “almost choked to death” after he was allegedly attacked along with his cousin, musician Davido, and the DMW boss’ squad.

Asa Asika, Davido’s manager, recently got married in Nigeria, and they were in Ibiza for her after-wedding celebration.

The claimed attack, he said, was the closest he had ever been to death.

On his X handle, he wrote, “All because my brother Asa wanted to do a nice after-wedding celebration with friends and family? @hiibizaofficial security almost just k*lled me! Almost choked me to death. My life flashed before my eyes!!! Closest I’ve been!!! God!!!”

Davido had earlier criticized Hi Ibiza’s security staff, saying they were trying to kill him and his teammates.

He pledged that he and his teammates must receive justice for the alleged attack.

It has not yet been determined what caused the purported attack.
