Grammy award-winning singer Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, professionally known as Burna Boy, has issued a piece of advice to his colleagues.

Sharing on his Instagram story, he urged artistes to focus on real-world achievements instead of social media validation.

According to Burna Boy, social media validation would not fill up stadiums, emphasizing that online popularity doesn’t always translate to ticket sales.

His post read;

“Dear artists, Don’t let Twitter polls and ‘Naija social media fans’ deceive you. They won’t fill up any stadium for you in any part of the world.”

Burna Boy, who is known for his record-breaking stadium tours, highlights the importance of building a genuine fanbase beyond the internet.

He also added that;

“1000000 Nigerian streams = $300/$400
1000000 Uk streams = £3000/£4000
1000000 US streams = $3000/$4000
1000000 euro streams = €3000/€4000
Your song being number 1 on any streaming platform in Nigeria is not something to celebrate. Aim higher or do other businesses on the side. I type with love. #NoSignOfWeakness”

His advice has sparked thoughtful discussions among fans and artistes, with the majority flooding the comments with their thoughts.

Below are some of the comments;

“This is why WizKids songs is not that much for Nigerians consumption.”

“He no lie though, Nigerians are struggling with their own daily survival. Doesn’t mean they won’t make your music popular for the paying audience shaa.“

“Take it or leave it but he’s saying nothing but the truth.”

“So how does the likes of seyi vibes, shallipopi and the likes afford luxury cars and buy mansions”

A lady was astonished to discover the moi-moi meal her brother’s fiancée prepared for her mother upon request.

The lady @silverkiss19 shared a video of two wraps of moi-moi on a plate, which looked a lot like Amala, a local dish made with yam flour.

In an attempt to demonstrate the watery texture that contrasted with the usual bean meal, the lady and her mother repeatedly touched the moi-moi while laughing.

The mother questioned whether it was moi-moi or another meal she hadn’t eaten before while the lady criticized their supposed in-law for refusing to learn basic cooking skills before attempting marriage.

Below are some reactions,

Popular Nigerian socialite Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest has slammed Grammy award winner Burna Boy over his recent post.

Taking to Instagram, he dismissed Burna Boy’s advice as ‘mumu talk’ and referred to him as ‘ode,’ sparking mixed reactions from fans on social media.

Recall that Burna Boy had advised his fellow artistes to avoid seeking social media validation, stating that Twitter polls wouldn’t sell out tickets.

While some fans saw Burna Boy’s message as a reminder to focus on real-life achievements over online clout, others, including Cubana Chief Priest, disagreed with him, calling his statement unnecessary and out of touch.

While some speculated that his response was linked to the ongoing feud with the singer, others chastised him for his comment, urging him to put the matter to rest.

Below are some of the comments;

“If u think Burna boy is capping, ask Peter obi, Twitter poll gave him victory, but them no get voter’s card.”

“Do Nigeria fill stadium for you in France and in Jamaica??? Where is the lie ??? How many of Nigeria artists show have you attend?? You just use yourself as an example.“

“Baba dey speak facts. They’re only good at banting but never supportive.”

“FACTOLOGY!!!! U are on ur own ! Na social media the love end Ooo”

In a video shared online, the lady @chamm_chamm1 encouraged online users to replicate her method with the caption, “Walk with me”.

Tragedy struck in Lekki, Lagos State, as a 30-year-old lady identified as Cynthia Oguzie lost her life after a water tank collapsed on her.

The news that was shared online by her brother disclosed that the incident happened while Cynthia was asleep in her room.

The heartbreaking incident occurred in the early hours of the day, leaving friends and family in deep shock.

According to Cynthia’s brother, the landlord, who resides abroad, had the house built based solely on images and videos sent to him by the engineer in charge of the project.

The majority speculated that the lady died due to the impact, which must have caused major internal injuries and bleeding.

Angry relatives and community members are now demanding justice and calling for the immediate arrest of both the landlord and the site engineer over alleged negligence.

The case has sparked conversations about building safety and the need for stricter construction oversight in Lagos.

Below are some of the comments;

“I couldn’t bring myself to watch the videos because I can’t take it. It’s a painful way to die; worst of all, out of carelessness due to either weak building materials or planning.”

“Now I understand why my pops insists no tank should be directly above any room. He made sure it’s just towards the dining table and most importantly, where no one sits. I never in my life thought I’ll see something like this.”

“Nothing you fit tell me This thing no be ordinary eyes May her Soul rest in Peace”

“This is unbearably horrible! Now we’ve lost a vibrant young lady! May her soul rest in perfect peace amen“

A young Nigerian woman has taken to social media to share a story about how she was disqualified from an event simply because she wasn’t considered ‘fully Yoruba.’

Sharing in multiple tweets on X (Twitter), she disclosed that her school selected her to represent Oyo State by delivering a speech at the at the Lekan Salami Stadium in 2017.

According to her, she was in SS1 when this happened, and it was a huge moment for her, and both she and her family were excited.

Her father, proud and supportive, immediately bought everything she needed, from new socks and sandals to a fresh haircut, but things quickly took a turn.

After submitting her details, including her full name, and her mother’s maiden name organizers rejected her just three days to the event because she wasn’t ‘fully Yoruba’.

Although, her principal tried to push back but the organizers stood their ground later shifting the excuse to say they wanted someone from Oyo State.

However, on the day of the event, which she attended with a teacher and her principal, another girl from Ekiti State was chosen to give the speech, and parts of the speech she had written were used.

That moment marked a turning point in her life, knowing that she will never be regarded as fully Yoruba.

She dropped her third name, ‘Toyin and chose ‘Ihuoma,’ referring to herself as Half cabbage, half mango.

A young Lady shares the shocking gift she received from her boyfriend that left her disappointed.

The lady took to the internet to share what her boyfriend who promised to spoil her bought as a gift, leaving her both shocked and disappointed.

The lady who had been eagerly anticipating a lavish gift from her Odogwu partner was let down when she unpacked the well-packed customized branded nylon bag sent to her, instead of the high-end, branded accessory envisioned.

In the short clip, she was presented with a locally made bag some netizens refer to ‘Aba-made’, a popular city in Nigeria known for producing affordable yet stylish ‘fake’ goods.

The black handbag, although charming in its own way, lacked the brand name and prestige she had expected, leaving her disappointed.

According to the lady, he promised to spoil her with a luxury gift using a recent viral word to compliment his surprise and setting high expectations for the occasion.

In her words;

“Achalugo i’m going to spoil you bought me a bag,

he legit gave it to me inside this nylon bag”.

She had hinted at a designer handbag, and with the previous statement of wanting to impress her, she believed he would go all out.

The reality, however, was far from her expectations and what was supposed to be a thoughtful gesture turned out to be a fake, unbranded handbag, a far cry from the designer bag she imagined.

Her reaction was a mix of disbelief and disappointment while her partner and some other netizens, on the other hand, seemed to think the bag was a great gesture.

While some viewed this as an unfortunate misunderstanding, others pointed out that the gift’s value lies more in the thought behind it than its price tag or brand.

A Nigerian influencer has been left in shock after the pepper soup he ordered in Ikenne, Ogun State, came as an unexpected food combo.

What was supposed to be a spicy delicacy took a surprising twist when he discovered macaroni floating in the soup.

The clip that he shared via his Instagram story has generated hilarious reactions from fans and internet users who came across the post.

Trying to understand when macaroni became a key ingredient in making pepper soup, he called out chefs and food enthusiasts to explain the unusual combo.

While some of his fans jokingly referred to the meal as ‘macasoup’, others said it wasn’t entirely strange, but the restaurant should have asked if he wanted macaroni in his pepper soup or not.

Below are some of the comments;

“Pls don’t make a fuzz about this…it’s normal to see macaroni and potatoes in pepper soup….sha wan use pepper-soup trend”

“This is why is very important you relate with your clients what and what you use as sides for pepper soup so they can pick by themselves… Allergy’s are real and as a food vendor questions like this don’t go unasked from our customers care service, to avoid misconception.”

“That combo is the best, Especially the ones in Remo bobo don’t complain we love it na u no sabi better thing”

A Nigerian man sparked a debate online after he shared the moment he realized he couldn’t marry his girlfriend.

In a recent tweet on X, formerly Twitter, he described his girlfriend as ‘desperate’ and ‘forward’, with claims that she was rushing things.

According to him, his girlfriend would visit his parents without his knowledge and buy them gifts on their birthdays.

Further stated that this act was a red flag to him, and no man wants to wife a lady who pushes things too fast.

A part of his tweet read;

“She started calling my mom without me telling her to. She even bought a watch for my dad, and I was shocked that she even knew his birthday. This girl was too forward and too intentional; the idea that she was moving too fast annoyed me. She doesn’t know yet, but never, never, never.

However, when a tweep joked that his girlfriend might break up with him if she saw the post, he replied, “I hope so too before I do.”
