Islamic scholar Ali Temitope Abdulssalam from Ibadan told President Tinubu to figure out why bandits and kidnappers keep wrecking the country instead of letting criminals run wild. The cleric spoke at his Qur'an memorization institute graduation ceremony, attended by Professor Hamdalat Olaniyan and other Oyo State bigwigs, and he said tackling violence headfirst would actually get people trusting the government again.
Abdulssalam wants federal and state officials to pump cash into Islamic schools because teaching kids religious values supposedly creates patriotic leaders who avoid tribalism and terrorism. He thinks anyone properly schooled in Qur'anic teachings won't touch ritual murders or other nasty crimes, and giving incentives to...

The legendary artist said he's sick of people gossiping about his relationship when the country has way bigger issues that deserve attention, and after decades of making hits for everyone, it's time the public focused on stuff that matters beyond celebrity drama.
He basically told the crowd to ignore the tabloid noise and wake up to serious national problems that need addressing.
Singer Bigiano just dropped a claim that he ghostwrote the hook for Davido's breakout track Dami Duro back in 2011, even though his name never showed up on official credits. The Shayo artist told content creator Akin Abolade that he penned the catchy part of the song that basically launched Davido into orbit and became one of the most legendary Afrobeats tracks ever made.
Bigiano brushed off questions about disappearing from the scene by saying breaks help you bounce back harder, and he denied being anywhere near broke despite the music sabbatical. Davido hasn't said anything about the authorship bombshell yet, and plenty of people are side-eyeing the timing since Bigiano waited over a decade to mention writing one of the biggest...

Media guy Do2dtun jumped in on the Peller car crash mess and said the whole relationship with Jarvis runs on clout chasing instead of actual feelings. He thinks both of them built their connection around validation from strangers online, and that setup creates wild expectations nobody can meet while pushing them to live beyond their means just for content. Do2dtun basically called it cute on the surface but toxic underneath, since neither person exists without cameras rolling and people watching.
The radio host says Peller and Jarvis need space to figure out who they are as separate humans instead of performing for followers every single day. He pointed out that fame and cash become weapons when kids their age should still be living...
Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh spilled everything at Streams of Joy International Church about beating a 27-year smoking habit that started when she was 13 after watching her dad light up at home. The 40-year-old told Pastor Jerry Eze's congregation she also kicked alcohol problems, chronic masturbation, and rage issues that wrecked her relationships through daily prayer sessions with the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations ministry.
Dikeh said demonic anger controlled her entire existence until she attended an NSPPD prayer conference in Ghana, where she claims spiritual attacks that had haunted her dreams since childhood finally stopped. She admitted to almost keeping quiet about the whole thing because of public image...
Lagos turns into absolute chaos when December hits because nobody wants to stay home while the city gets lit with parties and events everywhere. Beaches throw Christmas hangouts with sunset vibes, concert season brings Afrobeats shows plus smaller pop-up gigs, and resorts around Lekki let people fake a vacation without leaving town.

The festive season also means house parties in living rooms, church carol services for people who want something meaningful, and art galleries showing off their best work in chill spaces. Day trips to Badagry or Epe offer quick escapes from the madness...

The dude was driving alone during an Instagram session called RIP Peller, and he kept saying people would clown him if she dumped him, then threatened to wreck the car before actually slamming into something. Bystanders pulled him out, and he got hauled to a hospital, but nobody knows how badly he got hurt.

Kathleen Erhimu from Kudimata, Nigeria, and Kudimata Capital says teaching people how money works is the best weapon for lifting up women and kids while fixing the country's economy long-term. She threw a big event where government ministers, regulators from the SEC and CAC, plus banking executives all showed up to back her three-year push that's already reached 1.4 million Nigerians through training programs.
