Controversial street-hop singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has resumed his criticism of video director, TG Omori regarding the fee he charges.

Recall that a few days ago Portable called out the ace director for charging $50,000 (N37 million) when he reached out for a video for one of his songs.

The Zazuu star took to his Instagram story to rant aggressively about the fee and query why the director was charging that much.

He shared screenshots of their chats in a video, where he also replied to Omori with voice notes lamenting about the money being too high. See here.

In a new video with some friends, Portable revealed he will use the money to buy acres of land in his community than pay TG.

The “Ika of Africa” star reiterated that was impossible for him to pay N37 million for a music video when members of his family are looking up to him for their daily feeding.

He claimed that he is not insane enough to make such a horrible mistake.

Singer, Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy has tackled the Nigerian Senate for calling for the extension of the deadline of the swapping of the redesigned Naira notes.

The Senate recently called for the extension of the deadline for the swapping of the Naira notes to June 2023 for fear of the scarcity of the newly redesigned notes to common Nigerians.

Taking to his Instagram story, Paul accused the lawmakers of speaking up only because this particular policy affects them and the election.

According to him, the lawmakers didn’t speak when the masses were hungry during the pandemic and palliatives because they were not affected.

He wrote;

“During pandemic, people were hungry, where was the senate when the palliative were discovered?
Same government were hiding food for their citizens, they were silent and dumb because it doesn’t affect them.
Now with the CBN naira redesign they became spokemen for the poor 🤮 cos it affects them.
Imagine there was no election…
Aswear they won’t say Pim!!
NIAJA wise up🧠”

Super Eagles and Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen has been listed as one of the fastest Serie A strikers.

The 24-year-old, who is in the best shape of his life right now, is one of Luciano Spalletti’s main motivators.

One of Osimhen’s traits that makes him a successful striker and sets him apart from others is speed. With 13 league goals, he now leads the Serie A scoring rankings.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the former Lille star is one of the fastest and runs like nobody else, breaking his previous mark in the derby against Salernitana.

The Super Eagles striker contributed one assist and two goals to Naples’ 5-1 victory over Juventus last weekend in Serie A matchday 18.

The Italian paper wrote;

“From the Olimpico to Maradona on the wings of Osimhen. The league’s top scorer with 13 goals in 15 games and then the son of the wind who on the Saturday gusts and storm of the Salerno derby adapted perfectly to the weather parading away at 35.5 kilometres per hour. A crazy shot never recorded in a match so far.”

Osimhen has led his club to the top of the Serie A standings with 50 points from 19 games, 12 points more than AC Milan in second place.

Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt has expressed shock over how $12.7 million of his money went missing from a local private investment firm, that authorities are investigating as part of a massive fraud.

Speaking to reporters on January 27, Bolt said that he had sacked his business manager and added that the split was not amicable.

According to Bolt’s attorneys, his account with Kingston-based Stocks and Securities Limited dropped from around $12.8 million to just under $12,000. The corporation had been given until Friday to repay the funds, failing which they would take legal and criminal action.

The public should prepare for both the “expected and the unexpected” in this case, according to attorney Linton P. Gordon, who spoke to the Jamaica Observer newspaper.

“There is nothing to say at this stage, given what is happening, we have met with persons, and we are dealing with certain matters,” he was quoted as saying.

Earlier this week, Jamaican Finance Minister Nigel Clarke announced that the director of the Financial Services Commission was stepping down and that the Bank of Jamaica would now be in charge of regulating the island’s financial system.

He said that in addition to several government organizations, the suspected scam also impacted senior citizens.

The FBI and other unnamed foreign specialists have been asked for assistance by Jamaican officials, who have also claimed that consumers were provided incorrect information about their balances as part of the suspected scam. Officials have not yet disclosed the exact number of clients impacted or the amount of money lost.

Bolt mentioned the suspected scam while speaking at a luncheon sponsored for an upcoming relay.

“As you all know. I’ve been going through a tough week, a few tough weeks. No matter what’s going on right now, Jamaica is my country. That will never change. I’m just trying to focus on my family and trying not to think too much about it because it’s a difficult situation,”he said
