At least once every 3 months, someone posts or claims that waist beads are evil and a whole conversation erupts.
I mean, can they really steal a man’s destiny?
Tosin, a professional waist bead maker tells me the hate stems from how Africans tend to demonize everything.
If you google ‘yahoo boys,’ this picture will likely make an appearance.
Funny thing is it doesn’t actually show boys scamming, it’s a photo of my classmates in University.
We were in 400 level I think, playing the multiplayer PC game Soldier of Fortune. If you know SOF…
Y'all remember this dashiki Davido wore in the video for "Aye" in 2014? 7 years ago?
He wore it again to perform the same song at his 10 years on stage concert.
Davido no allow person rest. Back to back star performances.
So far, Ckay, Wurld, Liya, Olamide, Falz, Adekunle Gold, Dremo, Peruzzi, Mayorkun, Tiwa Savage, Naira Marley, Falz, Zlatan, Victony have all performed at his 10 years on stage concert.
Concert never finish o
Remember that Jolly elephant that was spotted in Oyo State weeks ago? He's dead.
He died in the custody of experts from Uni of Ibadan after they and the local govt chairman of Saki West decided to transport it to a zoo.
Why would they take that decision? Beats me.
Wizkid climb stage by 1:14am his earliest time yet.
This was at the Flytime Festival
Baba didn't do anything but just smile for like 2 mins and the crowd went wilddddddddd
MACHALA!!!
Abu Abel turned up at the
#Justice4Mohbad
concert with armed guards and the crowd went crazy!
That’s him with the grey bonnet.
Back talk from some of the folks here is that Abu Abel could have protected Mohbad if he reached out or ‘belonged’ to the same colour. Then, Sam
Guys!!!!
Victony performed "Holy Father" on his feet for the first time since his accident earlier in the year.
Davido kept on screaming God is good, Jesus is good as Victony slowly got to his feet.

About 3 or 4 years ago, I interviewed Made Kuti and he had on a promise ring.
I asked what it was and why he was wearing it. He answered that it was a symbol of the promise he and his then GF, now wife made to each other.
Glad to see them become husband and wife.
2 hours, 33 minutes of none stop swimming!
That’s how long it took Coach Drey to swim the entire length of the Third Mainland Bridge.
He swam to raise awareness for mental health (specifically suicide and depression)
Absolute Legend!
Ibidun Ighodalo is dead. Cardiac Arrest at 39. Such a humble woman who was doing the lord's work with her Ibidun Ighodalo Foundation. This woman had IVF 11 times before she finally adopted her kids.
May she rest in peace.
You’ll understand why we were all gathered in this room in front of our laptops.
The game was played over a network and PC connection isn’t what it is now. We were playing with minimal or no internet so we had to be close by.
I hope this explains this infamous photo now.
A sad encounter with officers of the Nigerian Police Force changed the trajectory of Mr Godwin Udoh and his family’s lives.
His wife was shot and killed by a police officer. He was also shot.
After he recovered, he sued the police and a court asked them to pay him N100m…
My friends at Showmax sent me this gift box filled with goodies. The box is in commemoration of

Spent the better part of 30 minutes listening to Killertunes' "KillaXtra" album and all I could think was "Why does he sound so much like Wizkid?"
I'm sure he and his team would have known this but chose to put out the project like that.
Na wa.
Guys, this isn’t what Olakira said. I’d like you to watch the full clip. At no point did he refer to or call Davido desperate.
Thank you for sharing my work, but your caption is wrong
@DAMIADENUGA
PS: I did this interview 3 years ago.
“I had no intentions of featuring Davido, he called me to his place and started playing my song 4-5 times, and I told my manager why is he so desperate”
- Olakira (Mr Maserati)
If you ever attend a Burna Boy concert, look out for the dude playing the lead saxophone.
He and Burna Boy have some sort of telepathic connection.
The whole band sabiiiiiiiii
I listened to Liya's 'Alari' EP today and I was pleasantly surprised.
Surprised because I was expecting her music to sound a certain way because of the label she's signed to.
But she has this Anjelique Kidjo type of vibe that I really like...
Have you ever head of Sarah Baartman? The lady who's image you are using to promote your new single. She was exploited and treated as a 'freak' by Europeans when she was alive. Your use of her image to promote this song is an insult to her memory in every way you can think of...
I was at Trace Live yesterday and Dbanj was the artiste of the night.
Just so you know, there’s no one like him and when I tell you a time was had, I mean it!
I wasn’t working so I had time to enjoy the show.
Yes, that’s me screaming in these clips 🤭 it’s Dbanj after all!
Getting into Burna Boy's concert is proving to be harder than getting into the stadium when Nigeria is playing.
I really hope a stampede doesn't happen.
@QueenMandla_
So sweet!
Forgive me, but what in the name of English language is going on in your bio? Read the first lines and literally laughed out loud!
It’s too hilarious 😆 😂😂
The service to me was a mixture of CAC and Deeper Life.
The ushers and general church staff were so polite.
They know that Mummy G.O has opened the eyes of many to their church so they are kind of prepared.
Everyone was on guard.
Choir too didn't sing in falsetto.
3 years ago, when the
#dontleaveme
challenge was trending, folks campaigned to get Josh2Funny on the Ellen Show.
I interviewed him then and asked how that made him feel. He said his goal was to be “seen all over the world.”
Seeing him on AGT now, his dream has come to pass.
Do you guys know the film director Adebayo Tijani? He’s probably the most prolific Nollywood director.
If 10 Yoruba movies are released in a year, Adebayo Tijani would have directed at least 4.
His work rate is crazy. He directed Femi Adebayo’s King of Thieves.
J.Cole will go back home and tell
@Drake
@kendricklamar
@kanyewest
that they have to stop in Nigeria on tour. Fans here will respond to their songs even more than some cities in America. Thank you

“Ifa does not pick Yoruba kings, governors do.
Those who patronize Ifa will have to wait endlessly. Why has Ifa not picked the new Alaafin of Oyo and Soun of Ogbomoso?
Or did Ifa travel so we can seek his return to give those towns new kings?” - Oluwo of Iwo
Guys, there’s a DJ trying to break the world record for longest Dj set. Her name is MaskQueen DJ Bella.
She’s playing in Festac and has been doing so for 74 hours. She intends to play for 250 hours.
Meaning she’ll play till upper Monday the 29th.

2 Nigerians have…
"Any king that is still worshipping deities (Sango, Ogun, etc) doesn't know what he is doing.
I don't want d wisdom of Solomon, he never got to use phones & other gadgets. The Yoruba have too many myths that are holding us back." Oluwo of Iwo

I recently interviewed American film mogul
@tylerperry
and British actor Brendan O'Caroll.
I asked Tyler why he decided to make another Madea movie, his response: "I just want to make the world laugh again."
Full video:
Lol.. Make una no shaa wear that “fur” go outside. First time I understood what it meant, I saw the late Antonio Deinde Fernandez rock it. Na senior men dey wear am o.
I thoroughly enjoyed Wizkid's
#MadeinLagos
album
Dem no born am well make him no shoot video for 'Blessed' with Damian Marley.
Whatever he and Burna took before they recorded 'Ginger' should be studied by scientists.
That 'Reckless' tune na proper jam.
And yes, they don't say "A men" in the church. They say "Ah men."
You can't wear trousers, beads, attachment, or any form of jewelry into the church.
I wear a rosary, I was asked to kindly take it off before I was allowed in. No one wore perfumes too.

'Blaqbones, one of the few that is still rapping
I’ll be handing out L’s to these rappers, they know I’m snapping
You could take your L right off the bat like LL Cool J
Or somewhere in the middle like Samuel L. Jackson'

@erigganewmoney
got the features right on this new album "The Lost Boy"
I particularly like Psycho Yp and Odumodu Black's verses.
Yuang, Jay Teazer and Oga Network delivered too.
Get this, the CBN then came and said the police had exactly N553,880 in their account with them so they can’t pay Godwin.
I couldn’t believe it.
But it’s true.
My prayer remains that Godwin gets the respite he and his family needs.

In Turkey, a mother used to read lecture notes everyday to her blind daughter, to help her get through law school.
On her daughter's graduation day, what did the university do?
They gave a degree to the mother as well.
Everytime I see folks go to Jerusalem or Mecca, I think about how Israel & Saudi Arabia created a thriving industry around the "holy items" in their countries.
Why can't we do the same for our own "holy sites?"
That's why the Osun River being polluted by miners pisses me off.
This is Max.
After his owner who suffers from dementia accidentally wandered into the woods, he never left her side.
Max stayed with her for three full days, with no leash, and barked to alert rescuers when they came nearby.
Who's a good boy.
I recently got the chance to interview Nigerian-British actor
@DavidOyelowo
& we spoke about his new film 'The Water Man.'
He also spoke about why he asked
@RicHassani
to produce the soundtrack & his desire to work with
@GenevieveNnaji1
&
@AdesuaEtomiW
one day.
Interviewed Joeboy before he blew up
Interviewed Fireboy before he blew up
Interviewed Blaqbonez before he blew up.
Interviewed the Ogechi boys - Boypee, Hyce, and Brownjoel before they blow up too!
Watch them reveal how they made Ogechi here:
Strength to strength
Glory to more glory
Blessings upon blessings
Protection from all evil
Primus inter pares
God’s grace, providence, blessings today, and forever.
Happy birthday The Great Abisola
Femi Kuti
@Femiakuti
does this really cool thing anytime he’s performing on stage. He bows to his audience and his band as well.
His son Made
@madeakuti
does the same anytime he’s on stage too.
E dey always trip me.
4 more people have died since I made this video on the BRT Bus accident bringing the total to 6.
May their souls rest in peace🙏🕊️
There were also 42 moderate injuries, 29 serious and 8 mild injuries according to Gov Sanwo-Olu.
Sad day.
“The Ojudey Obah Festival is celebrated every year by the Ejebuu people of Western Africa.
A camaraderie of pomp and pageantry that has its origins in when Queen Elizabeth first visited the area in 1848”
Fireboy is on a song with Madonna. The Madonna!
I'm not surprised sha, he did tell me years back that to stand out, he had to make his music "different" while also focusing on quality songwriting.
See where that focus on quality has gotten him! I'm so proud!
Tiwa Savage paid homage to several stars we lost this year at her Livespot show including young Sylvester Oromoni.
May they all rest in peace 🙏
