Popular media personality, Toke Makinwa has disclosed that she is sad and unhappy about the current situation of things in the country.

She made this known through her twitter, expressing her thoughts.

According to her, she wondered if everyone now sees the need to appreciates ex-president Goodluck Jonathan.

According to her, she has given up on praying to God about Nigeria and all her problems.

She wrote, “I’ve had mixed emotions all weekend as to the elections, woke up this morning sad for all the lives we lost. This can’t be the Nigeria of our dreams

“It’s not by force to win at all cost, if the people want you to lead them, it is their choice. If they don’t? It is also their choice. Do not intimidate anyone, Nigeria is not yours.

“If your government is not working, we vote you out, if the incoming does not perform, we vote them out too. Nigerians are tired, some have left seeking a better life outside, let those who believe in it get a fair chance

“The tribal insults on here, the fighting each other and disrespect for ourselves just shows we are no different from the leadership we complain about daily

“Ballot box snatching, burning down election materials cos you are dissatisfied it’s not going in your Favor is weak! If you lose, lose with some dignity, I hope we all appreciate Goodluck now. Sighhhhh

“My people perish for lack of knowledge”, in the case of Nigeria it is not lack of knowledge but “Poverty”…. Poverty of the mind is the worst kind. God help us all

“I even get tired of calling God in to our matter as Nigerians, he has given us so much, blessed us so much. Our problem is man made, selfishness, greed, lack of love

“The bloodshed is disgusting, if this can happen in 2019, how ready are we really for the change we crave so bad? It is not by force, if we don’t want you, leave us with the consequence, of who we elect does not do us right we meet again in 4 years and we do the same.”

‘They wanted blood’ — J Cole reveals why he avoided Kendrick Lamar beef

J Cole, the US rapper, has finally revealed why he bowed out of a feud with colleague Kendrick Lamar.

Last year, Cole, on the song ‘First Person Shooter’, suggested he, Drake, and Lamar were the current “big three” names in hip-hop.

Lamar, however, disagreed with Cole. In his verse on the song ‘Like That’, he said there was “no big three — it’s just big me”.

He also called Cole’s best verses “insubstantial” and claimed he was the “Prince to Drake’s Michael Jackson”.

In response to Lamar, Cole released a song titled ‘7 Minute Drill’, saying Lamar has “fallen off like The Simpsons”.

On the track, he also described Lamar’s latest album ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ as “tragic”.

In April, Cole apologised to Lamar for his “lame” and “goofy” response. He also said he had gotten “a thousand missed calls” and felt pressured to write a comeback.

In a recently released song titled ‘Port Antonio’, the Dreamville rapper defended his decision to step back from a rap battle with longtime friend Kendrick.

In the five-minute track released on Wednesday night, Cole argued that the people promoting the controversy wanted “blood” and publicity to profit from it.

“I pulled the plug because I’ve seen where that was ’bout to go / They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make their pockets grow / They see this fire in my pen and think I’m dodgin’ smoke / I wouldn’t have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro / I woulda gained a foe,” he raps.

Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has weighed in on the ongoing feud between music stars Ayodeji Balogun a.k.a Wizkid and David Adeleke a.k.a Davido, accusing them of using their rivalry to stay relevant in the industry.

The recent clash between Wizkid and Davido began on October 1, when Wizkid posted a cryptic tweet that many interpreted as a dig at Davido this was after Davido teased a snippet of his first single for 2024.

The feud escalated quickly, with both artists exchanging insults and personal attacks on social media.

Wizkid had also planned to release the first track of his highly anticipated “Morayo” album on the same day.

In a twist, Davido’s associate, Kayode Yajaur, popularly known as Black Tycoone, took a jab at Wizkid, seemingly mocking the delay in his album drop. He tweeted, “Tell your Daddy to drop an album already.”

Unfazed, the Grammy award-winning singer responded by throwing shade at Davido’s camp, writing on X, “P***y boys dropping mid again,” before adding, “Una don tire! Make una go rest small!”

Although Wizkid refrained from directly naming Davido, fans were quick to interpret the post as a clear shot at the ‘Fem’ crooner.

In an Instagram post, Portable criticized the duo saying “using your brother to shine” instead of focusing on their own music.

He opined that their songs are no longer selling well, and they are relying on social media drama to promote themselves.

“Don’t use your brother to shine, shine yourself. Una songs no dey market again, na fight una dey use do promotion,” Portable wrote.

The singer also distanced himself from the feud, stating that he is not aligned with either Wizkid or Davido. “Me, I no dey for Davido. Me, I no dey for Wizkid. I dey for myself. That’s why I dey for those who dey for me,” he added.
