Senator Saraki’s Ordeal Can Break Up Apc – Doyin Okupe

Published

on

 

The former aide to the former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Doyin Okupe has said that the ongoing ordeal of the Senate President, Dr Saraki is ominous and dangerous and may lead to a tragic end if wisdom and tack is not applied. Dr. Okupe made the post on his Facebook page. He wrote;

“To ordinary watchers of Nigerian politics, the ongoing ordeal of the Senate President, Dr saraki may be an interesting soap opera. But to more discerning minds it is nothing short of a tragic comedy.Over the years Nigerian politicians fail over and over again to convince anybody that they actually learnt anything from our checkered political history. This is why we have had many Republics in our national history.

Wiston Churchill said ” failure to act when action would have been simple and effective, lack of good reasoning, and confusion of counsel, all these lead to endless repetition of history.”

I am personally not a supporter of Dr Saraki and for good reason. He spearheaded the demolition of the PDP and the eventual catastrophic electoral misfortune of the Goodluck Jonathan ‘s Presidency.

Neither am I a detractor of the Senate President. However as a veteran politician I accept that all is fair in love and in war and as they say the end justifies the means.

But what is currently going on is ominous and dangerous and will require Wisdom and extreme tact from all the dramatis personnel.

I did in the past predict that the APC will break up, but that was before the APC formed the government. Now that they are in government, it is not in my interest or that of any reasonable or patriotic Nigerian to wish that they break up.

A break up of the APC now has the capacity to undermine the current political process and the entire political dispensation we are passing through to the detriment of the country and the innocent masses.

As it is now, while the law must be allowed to take its course, men with less passion, and more sense on ALL sides must rise to the occasion to manage this delicate matter in the overall interest of our Nation, our democracy and our people. Remembering always that an ill wind does not blow anyone any good.”

Daddy Freeze, Akah Nnani clash over Emmanuel Iren

Published

By

Daddy Freeze, the media personality, has reacted to actor Akah Nnani’s call for prayer for him.

The controversy began when Peter Obi, former Anambra governor, urged Nigerians to prioritise work over vigils in order to improve productivity.

Emmanuel Iren, founder of Celebration Church International, opposed Obi’s advice, prompting Freeze to criticize the cleric for defending night vigils and claiming he supported the practice because it is his “source of income”.

In a now-viral video, Nnani described Freeze as a “lost soul” dealing with “church hurt”

The actor also urged Christians to pray for the media personality. Nnani claimed the Holy Spirit instructed him to pray for Freeze.

“This is not a usual video and I believed that I was told to do it and I didn’t want to procrastinate. It happened randomly, I was praying and the holy spirit says pray for Daddy Freeze,” he said.

“It came on my radar couple of days ago when he picked on a pastor I love, care about and I know he is a genuine man of God.

“I could have responded out of anger but I decided not to but in my prayer time the holy spirit just told me to pray for him. I believe as Christians if we pray more for people than attack we would see more results.

“So I’m going to call on every Christians to join me as I pray for Daddy Freeze and everyone dealing with church hurt.”

Freeze responded, arguing that Obi’s opinion on vigils is “valid”. He suggested that Nnani “needs the prayer more”.

The media personality also implied that Iren’s defense of night vigils is “self-serving”.

“Dear Akah, pray for Iren and for yourself. You need it more. Peter Obi made a valid point about night vigils,” he wrote.

“Iren tried defending his enterprise. All Iren’s boys are now running kata kiti trying to defend the indefensible.”

Why would you post pictures in your underwear? – Portable out calls Tiwa Savage

Published

Nigerian singer Portable has raked reactions on social media after calling Tiwa Savage out for posting pictures in her underwear at 40 years old.

During his recent TikTok live stream, Portable, who is known for his outspoken personality, questioned the appropriateness of Tiwa’s posts, particularly given her status as a mother and her age.

“I’ve noticed something; someone needs to talk to Tiwa Savage, please. Tell her to calm down o. I’ve been listening to her music since I was small now I’m a father and mummy Tiwa savage is still posting pictures in her underwear. Only panties? Is it good for a mum to post pictures in her underwear?”

Despite his criticism, Portable admitted Tiwa Savage appeals to him, describing her as a “bad girl” who has maintained her appeal since her younger years.

“E dey enter my eye, make I no lie. The day I met Tiwa Savage and I hugged her, it felt like I hugged a mermaid and was being swept away. But someone should tell her to calm down with the naked outfits.”

In between hysterical laughter, the singer added, “Tiwa Savage, I swear to God, you’re appealing to me. you’ve been bad since you were 19 and you’re still a bad girl at 40, you’re still wearing panties at 40.”

His remarks sparked reactions from social media users, with some slamming him and others expressing their support for his views.

An outraged Instagram user asked, “What level of disrespect is this?”

“I actually don’t think he means any harm. He’s just not emotionally intelligent. So he lacks the methodology to communicate his message appropriately. He’s basically saying Tiwa’s dress sense is becoming ‘fighting temptation’ in a nutshell,” another person wrote.

Another comment read, “He should be shut.up..Tiwa savage is an entertainer…if nicki minaj did the same u would not talk.”

AY Makun, Basketmouth discuss their 17-year feud

Published

By

AY Makun and Basketmouth have made their first public appearance together, marking a new chapter after their 17-year feud.

The rift between the two prominent comedians began in 2006 over unpaid performance fees and intensified in 2022, with both avoiding each other publicly.

In March 2023, AY claimed Basketmouth had yet to pay him for a show he anchored for him. Responding, Basketmouth described his colleague’s account of the incident as “lies”.

However, following Basketmouth’s apology in 2023, both comedians have put aside their differences.

In the latest episode of the ‘Glass House with AY‘ podcast, the comedian argued he did not get the money for the show while Basketmouth maintained that he was paid.

AY also shared insights into his prolonged rift with Basketmouth.

“I did not know when the fight started. I just noticed it started. Every day I wake up thinking it is a normal thing, boys will be boys and like that, it grew into several years,” he said.

“Then the third year, it seems like people were spreading more rumours about the feud till it lasted that long. It lasted too long”.

AY emphasised the feud’s impact on younger comedians. “Our feud caused some damages because in a way we were like providers for people,” he said.

Basketmouth added: “Most times people swear allegiance by default. So when we were not on good terms some people made it their business”.

“…A comedian called me to tell me AY reached out to him for a gig and was asking if it was okay to work with AY. I told him it was okay and I was happy it happened because people would know it was okay to work for either of us because it was about more money and opportunities.

“There was a guy who picked a side and came at me. Now that we are cool, he would be confused. It is collaboration over competition.”
