I woke up to watch ‘Game of Thrones’ at 3am. Was it worth it?
Before we get started on what happened in the season 6 premiere of ‘Game of Thrones’ you have to know that the below article is filled with spoilers. You’ve been warned.
The question that everybody wants answered is whether Jon Snow is really dead. Like‚ for real not alive. The show wastes no time and gets straight into it: Jon Snow IS dead. His cold‚ lifeless body is lying in the snow in the courtyard of Castle Black. A group of his friends‚ including his direwolf‚ Ghost and Ser Davos mourn him. But we’re immediately suspicious. Has Davos spotted something in the pattern of blood surrounding Jon Snow? Alas‚ the resurrection that everybody wanted hasn’t happened (just yet) with Melisandre clearly surprised at his death‚ saying that she saw Jon in her flames fighting at Winterfell.
In case you still haven’t noticed‚ we’re about to hash out a lot more of what happened. Stop reading now if you don’t want any more spoilers!
Sansa and Theon are still on the run
While Ramsay Bolton mourns the death of his mistress‚ Sansa Stark and Theon Greyjoy are on the run from Ramsay’s bloodthirsty hounds. To unite the North‚ he has to produce an heir and promises to capture Sansa. But just as the pair are about to get caught‚ Brienne of Tarth steps in. Theon rises again and Sansa finally accepts Brienne’s pledge of protection.
Jaime Lannister promises revenge
It’s not a confident Cersei Lannister that we’re shown in the season premiere‚ but rather a sad and shaken version of the powerful woman we’ve come to know. She’s happy to hear of her daughter’s arrival‚ but it is Jaime who enters with Myrcella’s corpse. Cersei tells her brother (and lover) that it was predicted that her children would all perish. He’s having none of it though‚ promising to get revenge.
We’re still not done. A few more epic moments are en route.
Prince Doran is killed
In Dorne the prince and his closet men are killed by Ellaria and the Sand Snakes. Ellaria insists that “weak men will never rule Dorne again” and his son‚ Trystane‚ is also murdered.
Daenerys has been taken
The last we saw her she was surrounded by Dothraki warriors. Of course they weren’t going to leave her and she’s been taken to Khal Moro‚ their new leader. When she eventually reveals that she was married to the late Khal Drogo and will provide some goods for her safe return‚ she’s told she has to go live in the Dothraki capital with all the other widows of dead khals. Shame.
The red woman shows her true self
The show ends with Melisandre taking off her necklace and revealing her true self: she’s a very old woman. Considering the show is named The Red Woman‚ the revelation is rather significant. The big question now is whether the necklace‚ which has obvious magical powers‚ will be used to bring Jon Snow back to life. (Can we get a whoop?) Come on writers‚ you know you’re going to give it to us.
So‚ was it worth it?
Hells yeah. So Jon Snow isn’t alive. Yet. But you really didn’t expect the writers to give that to us immediately‚ did you? There was still plenty of action‚ yo. Prince Doran died. Sansa and Theon have managed to stay alive‚ which is pretty damn impressive and Melisandre is about to reveal the full extent of her powers. The countdown to episode two has officially begun.

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface
Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.
Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.
In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.
The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.
“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.
“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”
In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.
He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.
“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.
Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.
In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday
Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.
The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.
They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.
Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.
Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.
He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.

Tiwa Savage calls out Wizkid fan for bullying
Wizkid’s group of fans collectively known as “Wizkid FC” are popular for their vehement support for Wizkid and their antagonism toward those considered his rivals.
Tiwa Savage is the latest artist to call out Wizkid FC for harassment after some members of the fanbase mocked her for releasing a song on the same day as Wizkid.
On November 15, 2024, Ruger released his new song ‘Toma Toma’ featuring Tiwa Savage which she shared on her Instagram page with the caption “Told yall this one is special. The @rugerofficial called and I answered”.
In response, a Wizkid fan said “Dey play, nothing special pass Wizzy hits”.
The reply rubbed off wrongly on Tiwa Savage who said “Because I am promoting music? WTF…y’all are not fans anymore ooo you guys are actual bullies”.
