Ebaide Joy, the fast-rising Nigerian singer and motorbiker, has embarked on a solo trip from Mombasa in Kenya to Lagos.

Ebaide, in an Instagram post, earlier announced that she would commence the solo trip on her motorbike on March 8.

In a follow-up post, she revealed that the decision behind the trip was informed by the life-changing car accident she had when she was 23.

She disclosed that she ended up being in a wheelchair for months before undergoing surgery to hold her spinal cord with the use of titanium rods and screws.

Ebiade said she wanted to “prove something” to herself by going on the trip.

“People say I am wasting my second chance, why am I wasting my life away? And putting my spinal cord in danger. I am doing this because I am trying to prove something to myself,” she said.

“I am the one in charge of my existence, of my life not my circumstances and situations. You see life has been a b***h and it has dealt with me the worst cards through my life.

“I waited for it to get better but it never did so I am taking it through my hands and proving to myself that I am the boss of my life. I am the one who determines what happens to me, no my situations or circumstances.”

She would be making the trip on her motorbike which she named Rory. It is a Tekken 250cc which weighs 140kg. It has a Lansing engine, 6-speed transition, 14-litre fuel tank, and dual exhaust.

Ebaide, who has released songs like ‘Japa’, ‘Carry Go’, and ‘Different’, joins the list of Nigerians who have embarked on solo trips to Lagos from other countries.

Pelumi Nubi is set to arrive in Lagos on March 23, after driving from London for almost two months.

Kunle Adeyanju, another Nigerian tourist, rode a bike from London to Lagos years ago.

Mohbad’s toxicology result ready as pathologist begins analysis

The toxicology test carried out on Mohbad, the late singer, to determine the actual cause of his death has been concluded.

Born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, Mohbad died under mysterious circumstances on September 12 and was buried the next day.

On September 21, the body of the artiste was exhumed. An autopsy was carried out that same day after which the police announced that they were awaiting the results.

The toxicology test was conducted in the United States.

According to PUNCH, the final test results were sent to the state DNA and Forensic Centre last week and were handed over to the police.

The report is also said to have been forwarded to the medical pathologist who carried out the autopsy for analysis and interpretation.

The Lagos state government had called for a coroner’s inquest to determine the cause of Mohbad’s death following public outcry.

Testifying at the coroner’s inquest in March, Richard Somiari, the director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, said the autopsy result on Mohbad would be ready in less than a month.

However, Monisola Odumosu, head of the family’s legal counsel, said they would apply to the state high court to conduct a separate autopsy and toxicology test.

The lawyer said the family of Mohbad was worried about the process by which the autopsy was conducted.

Odumosu further claimed that no medical expert represented the family at the point the autopsy was done.

Celebrities and influencers alike have never been strangers to seeking the face of God through powerful spiritual leaders and talking about his goodness in their lives publicly.

The latest of the stars that have shared her experience with a spiritual leader is the popular influencer, Nkechi Blessing.

In the latest episode of Inside Scoop with Uriel, the influencer doesn’t hold back on her encounter with Chukwuemeka Cyril Ohanaemere, the pastor popularly known as Odumeje, or on the internet Indaboski.

She told the host, Big Brother Naija star Uriel Oputa that at her first encounter with Odumeje she was shocked at the things he said about her, information that she said had never been public.

The first time I had an encounter with Odumeje I was shocked to my bone marrow. The man will tell you everything about your life. He’s not just telling you, he’s giving you the solution,” Blessing said. “It is not normal things that are on the internet. He is a true man of God. I am saying it here categorically.”

When Uriel asked if he could heal people, Blessing said, “One hundred percent.”

When Uriel asked further why Odumeje has gotten a bad reputation on the internet as a fake pastor, Blessing said it has to do with the fact that he doesn’t speak English well.

“Because of the fact that he does not know how to communicate well in good English does not make him a fake pastor,” she said.
