The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission, Mr. Boboye Olayemi Oyeyemi, has condemned some photographs trending on the social media concerning the cutting-off of the hair of some female FRSC officials.
The photos, which started trending late Monday evening, show a man identified as the sector commander of the Rivers State Command of the FRSC, Andrew A. Kumapayi, using a pair of scissors to cut off the hair of some female officials.
The incident reportedly happened during the morning parade when Kumapayi went round to inspect his officers and men. He reportedly inspected their fingernails and hair, among other things.
FRSC spokesman, Mr. Bisi Kazeem, said the agency was already aware of the incident and that the corps marshal had already ordered an investigation into the issue.
Kazeem said since it was still a developing story, he would not comment further until the investigation ordered by the corps marshal is completed.
He promised to give account on the outcome of the investigations.
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”.
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.”
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.”
