Posted: 14 Apr 2020 01:30 AM PDT

Nigerian singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, known professionally as Burna Boy, has explained to American veteran musician, Sean John Combs, also known by the stage name Diddy, how Nigerians are suffering during this Coronavirus lockdown.

Burna boy told the American rapper, who's also known as Puff Daddy, that Nigerians are on lockdown without any benefit or relief material from the government.

He noted that this was the major difference between the lockdown in Nigeria and that of other countries, adding that they as artists were doing their best to better the lives of those around them.

Burna boy said this during an Instagram live chat with the wealthy American music icon.

Diddy has been putting together a "dance-a-thon" where he invites popular musicians around the world to support the healthcare workers in the frontline of the Coronavirus battle.


Burna Boy said, "Reporting live from Lagos," after Diddy demanded to know what the situation is like in Nigeria, he said, "We are on lockdown in Nigeria just like anyone else."

"But the difference is that here we are locked down without any benefits or relief packages.

"It's like everyone…especially our minorities …they are feeding from hand to mouth. [Before now] it's like we work today, eat today and tomorrow taking care of itself and now we are in this mess.

"We are just trying to make life better for everyone around us in any way we can even though it's not our job. We're not the government," he said.

Diddy said that after the Coronavirus, he would bring a lot of artists from America to Nigeria.

On March 29th, 2020, the President announced a total lockdown on Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Teritory, following the coronavirus outbreak in Nigeria.

President Buhari, said in that nationwide broadcast, that the lockdown is going to be for 14 days in the first instance.

However, he has stated that Government will continue to rely on the advise of experts in this direction, hence there is the need for another 14 days lockdown, commencing at 11.59pm today, 13th March, 2020.

Read below the President's nationwide broadcast:

ADDRESS BY H.E. MUHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ON THE EXTENSION OF COVID- 19 PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN AT THE STATE HOUSE, ABUJA

MONDAY, 13TH APRIL, 2020


1.   Fellow Nigerians

2.   In my address on Sunday, 29th March, 2020, I asked the residents of Lagos and Ogun States as well as the Federal Capital Territory to stay at home for an initial period of fourteen days starting from Monday, 30th March 2020.

3.   Many State Governments also introduced similar restrictions.

4.   As your democratically elected leaders, we made this very difficult decision knowing fully well it will severely disrupt your livelihoods and bring undue hardship to you, your loved ones and your communities.

5.   However, such sacrifices are needed to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our country. They were necessary to save lives.

6.   Our objective was, and still remains, to contain the spread of the Coronavirus and to provide space, time and resources for an aggressive and collective action.

7.   The level of compliance to the COVID-19 guidelines issued has been generally good across the country. I wish to thank you all most sincerely for the great sacrifice you are making for each other at this critical time.

8.   I will take this opportunity to recognise the massive support from our traditional rulers, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) during this pandemic.

9.   I also acknowledge the support and contributions received from public spirited individuals, the business community and our international partners and friends. 

10.       I must also thank the media houses, celebrities and other public figures for the great work they are doing in sensitizing our citizens on hygienic practices, social distancing and issues associated with social gatherings.

11.       As a result of the overwhelming support and cooperation received, we were able to achieve a lot during these 14 days of initial lockdown.

12.       We implemented comprehensive public health measures that intensified our case identification, testing, isolation and contact tracing capabilities.

13.       To date, we have identified 92% of all identified contacts while doubling the number of testing laboratories in the country and raising our testing capacity to 1,500 tests per day.

14.       We also trained over 7,000 Healthcare workers on infection prevention and control while deploying NCDC teams to 19 states of the federation.

15.       Lagos and Abuja today have the capacity to admit some 1,000 patients each across several treatment centres.

16.       Many State Governments have also made provisions for isolation wards and treatment centres. We will also build similar centers near our airports and land borders.

17.       Using our resources and those provided through donations, we will adequately equip and man these centres in the coming weeks. Already, health care workers across all the treatment centers have been provided with the personal protective equipment that they need to safely carry out the care they provide.

18.       Our hope and prayers are that we do not have to use all these centres. But we will be ready for all eventualities.

19.       At this point, I must recognise the incredible work being done by our healthcare workers and volunteers across the country especially in frontline areas of Lagos and Ogun States as well as the Federal Capital Territory.

20.       You are our heroes and as a nation, we will forever remain grateful for your sacrifice during this very difficult time. More measures to motivate our health care workers are being introduced which we will announce in the coming weeks.

21.       As a nation, we are on the right track to win the fight against COVID-19.

22.       However, I remain concerned about the increase in number of confirmed cases and deaths being reported across the world and in Nigeria specifically.

23.       On 30th March 2020, when we started our lockdown in conforming with medical and scientific advice, the total number of confirmed cases across the world was over 780,000.

24.       Yesterday, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases globally was over one million, eight hundred and fifty thousand. This figure is more than double in two weeks!

25.       In the last fourteen days alone, over 70,000 people have died due to this disease.

26.       In the same period, we have seen the health system of even the most developed nations being overwhelmed by this virus.

27.       Here in Nigeria, we had 131 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in 12 States on 30th March 2020. We had two fatalities then.  

28.       This morning, Nigeria had 323 confirmed cases in twenty States. Unfortunately we now have ten fatalities. Lagos State remains the center and accounts for 54% of the confirmed cases in Nigeria. When combined with the FCT, the two locations represent over 71% of the confirmed cases in Nigeria.

29.       Most of our efforts will continue to focus in these two locations.

30.       Majority of the confirmed cases in Lagos and the FCT are individuals with recent international travel history or those that came into contact with returnees from international trips.

31.       By closing our airports and land borders and putting strict conditions for seaport activities, we have reduced the impact of external factors on our country. However, the increase in the number of States with positive cases is alarming.

32.       The National Centre for Disease Control has informed me that, a large proportion of new infections are now occurring in our communities, through person-to-person contacts. So we must pay attention to the danger of close contact between person to person. 

33.       At this point, I will remind all Nigerians to continue to take responsibility for the recommended measures to prevent transmission, including maintaining physical distancing, good personal hygiene and staying at home.

34.       In addition, I have signed the Quarantine Order in this regard and additional regulations to provide clarity in respect of the control measures for the COVID-19 pandemic which will be released soon.

35.       The public health response to COVID-19 is built on our ability to detect, test and admit cases as well as trace all their contacts. While I note some appreciable progress, we can achieve a lot more.

36.       Today, the cessation of movement, physical distancing measures and the prohibition of mass gatherings remain the most efficient and effective way of reducing the transmission of the virus. By sustaining these measures, combined with extensive testing and contact tracing, we can take control and limit the spread of the disease.

37.       Our approach to the virus remains in 2 steps - First, to protect the lives of our fellow Nigerians and residents living here and second, to preserve the livelihoods of workers and business owners. 

38.       With this in mind and having carefully considered the briefings and Report from the Presidential Task Force and the various options offered, it has become necessary to extend the current restriction of movement in Lagos and Ogun States as well as the FCT for another 14 days effective from 11:59 pm on Monday, 13th of April, 2020. I am therefore once again asking you all to work with Government in this fight.

39.       This is not a joke. It is a matter of life and death. Mosques in Makkah and Madina have been closed. The Pope celebrated Mass on an empty St. Peter's Square. The famous Notre Dame cathedral in Paris held Easter Mass with less than 10 people. India, Italy and France are in complete lockdown. Other countries are in the process of following suit. We can not be lax. 

40.       The previously issued guidelines on exempted services shall remain.

41.       This is a difficult decision to take, but I am convinced that this is the right decision. The evidence is clear. 

42.       The repercussions of any premature end to the lockdown action are unimaginable.

43.       We must not lose the gains achieved thus far. We must not allow a rapid increase in community transmission. We must endure a little longer.

44.       I will therefore take this opportunity to urge you all to notify the relevant authorities if you or your loved ones develop any symptoms. I will also ask our health care professionals to redouble their efforts to identify all suspected cases, bring them into care and prevent transmission to others.

45.       No country can afford the full impact of a sustained restriction of movement on its economy. I am fully aware of the great difficulties experienced especially by those who earn a daily wage such as traders, dayworkers, artisans and manual workers.

46.       For this group, their sustenance depends on their ability to go out. Their livelihoods depend on them mingling with others and about seeking work. But despite these realities we must not change the restrictions.

47.       In the past two weeks, we announced palliative measures such as food distribution, cash transfers and loans repayment waivers to ease the pains of our restrictive policies during this difficult time. These palliatives will be sustained.

48.       I have also directed that the current social register be expanded from 2.6 million households to 3.6 million households in the next two weeks. This means we will support an additional one million homes with our social investment programs. A technical committee is working on this and will submit a report to me by the end of this week.

49.       The Security Agencies have risen to the challenges posed by this unprecedented situation with gallantry and I commend them. I urge them to continue to maintain utmost vigilance, firmness as well as restraint in enforcing the restriction orders while not neglecting statutory security responsibilities.

50.       Fellow Nigerians, follow the instructions on social distancing. The irresponsibility of the few can lead to the death of the many. Your freedom ends where other people's rights begin.

51.       The response of our State Governors has been particularly impressive, especially in aligning their policies and actions to those of the Federal Government.

52.       In the coming weeks, I want to assure you that the Federal Government, through the Presidential Task Force, will do whatever it takes to support you in this very difficult period. I have no doubt that, by working together and carefully following the rules, we shall get over this pandemic.               

53.       I must also thank the Legislative arm of Government for all its support and donations in this very difficult period. This collaboration is critical to the short and long-term success of all the measures that we have instituted in response to the pandemic.

54.       As a result of this pandemic, the world as we know it has changed. The way we interact with each other, conduct our businesses and trade, travel, educate our children and earn our livelihoods will be different.

55.       To ensure our economy adapts to this new reality, I am directing the Ministers of Industry, Trade and Investment, Communication and Digital Economy, Science and Technology, Transportation, Aviation, Interior, Health, Works and Housing, Labour and Employment and Education to jointly develop a comprehensive policy for a "Nigerian economy functioning with COVID-19".

56.       The Ministers will be supported by the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and Economic Sustainability Committee in executing this mandate.

57.       I am also directing the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, the National Security Adviser, the Vice Chairman, National Food Security Council and the Chairman, Presidential Fertiliser Initiative to work with the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 to ensure the impact of this pandemic on our 2020 farming season is minimized.

58.       Finally, I want to thank the members of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 for all their hard work so far. Indeed, the patriotism shown in your work is exemplary and highly commendable.

59.       Fellow Nigerians, I have no doubt that by working together and carefully following the rules, we shall get over this pandemic and emerge stronger in the end.

60.       I thank you all for listening and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Halima Abubakar – ‘Why I kept my pregnancy off social media’

Posted: 13 Apr 2020 04:30 AM PDT

Fans and colleagues of actress, Halima Abubakar, were stunned when she announced during the week that she had been delivered of a baby. While the role interpreter got a lot of goodwill messages from her fans, friends and colleagues, many were surprised that she kept her pregnancy off social media.

In an encounter with Saturday Beats, Abubakar said, "I kept it away from social media because it's not their business. The first time I made a post about expecting 'a mini me', I was pregnant at that time but I was actually talking about a dog. I had bought a dog then. They (bloggers) ran with it and said I was pregnant. I just kept quiet about it and said thank you to all the prayers. I don't think it's okay to shove everything down people's throats on social media. I am a businesswoman, so for me, social media is to interact with my fans and clients. I advertise for a lot of companies and I am a brand ambassador to over 20 brands. I am always working and I think I overwork myself. Posting about my pregnancy would have been too much because I already advertise for brands and I didn't want to choke anyone. People just say what they want to say. I am a homely person and I love how my life has changed. I had to train myself to this point and I have done a wonderful job."

On the challenges she encountered when she was pregnant, the Kogi State-born actress said, "I just had a little bit of waist pain. I didn't have any swollen face or hand. But I started using a bigger size. I am really happy about the experience. During pregnancy, I craved a lot of salmon and vegetable. I also drank a lot of ice cream. I didn't vomit. God allowed me not to suffer."

Sharing the excitement she feels as a new mother, Abubakar said, "I don't know if it's fulfilling yet because it's a new experience. I am going with the flow and I'm very happy. When I look at the sweet boy staring at me, I know I have done something right. If there is anything I have done in my life that is right, this is the biggest one and I'm proud of myself. I am grateful to God, everyone, and my baby. I would never change anything about my decision."

Father DMW - "My Story From Borno To Lagos"

Posted: 13 Apr 2020 04:00 AM PDT

Without any shadow of doubt, one man who is currently making waves in Nigeria's social media space is Muhammadu Abdulai. He broke the internet with a single live video with international model, Eva, as this has constantly remained the most viewed live video chat in recent times.

Though the name Abdulai may not really ring a bell because not many people are familiar with his real name, the mention of 'Father DMW', image of the Borno State-born social media comes to mind. In this interview by SEGUN ADEBAYO, 'Father'as many call him, speaks about how fame found him, among other issues.

In a short time, you have emerged one of the most sought-after skit makers in Nigeria. Your name comes up everywhere now. You must really be having a good time, how do you feel?

The feeling is good. This is what I have always wanted and I am happy that I am arriving at the stage I had always seen ahead of me. Everything seems like a dream now but I am living every day as it comes and taking the step one after the other. For me, what I do is what I call my hustle but this would not have happened if not for God and Davido. As I am talking to you, I am yet to come to terms with the fact that I am where I am today. I am grateful God. God bless Davido for me.

Your style is quite unique, especially coming from someone who was born and raised in the North where skit making is not their thing. Was it really hard getting to come up with these skits?

You are right if you say that my style is unique but its uniqueness has nothing to do with my tribe; it is simply about what I want to achieve. Being Hausa or any other tribe does not really mean your skit will sell, if you don't appeal to people with what you create or people can't really relate with your skit, you won't go far with it. Sometimes, it gets really hard coming up with a funny skit but most time my least creative jokes get the biggest applause and I wonder why. So, these days I don't bother myself with how the people would receive it, I just focus on doing what I feel is good and let the people decide.

What was your growing up like and brought about the entertainment thing for you?

I wish I could start telling about my growing up now, but it is a long story my brother.

How long is the story?

Let me just say I was born and raised in Gwoza Local Government area of Borno State I lived there till adulthood when I decided to come down to Lagos State to start life anew. I am in Lagos now and I am focusing on getting better and becoming someone my people back home would be proud of. Where I am coming from does not matter to me; my future is the most important thing to me right now.

How was life in Borno before coming to Lagos?

Life in Borno was fine because I was practically in school until the issue of Boko Haram started and everything got destabilised. It was not easy sleeping and waking up in an environment where you were not sure of what could happen to you the next minute. I couldn't think of staying in that place any further, so I decided to leave. In Borno, I was well loved by the people, especially those who saw the comedy traits in me as a young boy. They see me as an amusing personality who enjoys the company of people, interacting and making them laugh.

So you ran to Lagos?

I ran for my life and I arrived in Lagos to start a new life for myself. I am happy that the decision is now paying off because I am beginning to live my dreams and living them well.

So Boko Haram insurgency forced you to quit school?

I had to run to Lagos. My determination to succeed in life brought me to Lagos.

You keep coming up rib cracking skits that put many of your colleagues on their toes. You have achieved this in a short time. What does this mean to you?

It reminds me that I have to keep getting better. Making skits don't come as easy as people think because they see the finished material. A lot of work usually goes into bringing an idea to life and presenting what was an idea to millions of people. It is a lot of work and dedication. I don't think I am keeping anybody on their toes because nobody has come to tell me I am keeping them on their toes; I am just a young man trying to make life meaningful for himself. I don't want to suffer. I don't want to live from hand to mouth. I want to make a life for myself and those who are looking up to me. I just try to be as real as possible. One thing that has helped me a lot is my originality. I think that's just the only difference. I am not the most creative skit maker.

You keep talking about Davido and Zlatan all the time; what is your relationship with them?

Let me put in a simple way: Davido is my godfather on earth while Zlatan is my godbrother on earth. I can't begin to tell you what they have done for me. It is not something I can explain but I am going to remain grateful to them in all I do.

But we heard that you left Davido's house and moved Zlatan's following your feud with the DMW gang.

That's not true. People like to bring out nothing from nothing. I will never speak low of my benefactors till I die.

What influenced your choice of career?

My hunger for success is the bottom line. All my life, I have always said to myself that I don't want to be poor or live beggarly life. I want to be able to take care of myself and family. So, every day I try to be better and work hard to keep pushing myself beyond the limits. Secondly, I play a lot if you know me, so some of the jokes people see online were just me in my usual element playing and having fun.

How did manage to build this brand?

Well, I will say I never understood anything about building of brand until now that I have a manager who knows more about what I am doing and also sees the business goal in my craft. Like I said, I just want to have fun and make people happy but my management team felt we could turn this to this to a brand that other top brands will associate with. So, that brought us to this level.

Do you think you have what it takes to sustain this momentum?

I didn't bring myself to this level; God did. It is not because I am the smartest, it is just God. But now I have to think of how to take it from here to another level. This is why I am currently being managed by some of the best brains in the entertainment industry. They have worked hard to ensure that we moved up the ladder. Things are looking bright now but we are not stopping. People have not even seen the best of Father DMW.

They say you have suddenly become expensive to get now; is this true?

It is really not in my place to answer that question. My manager will be in the best place to speak about that. One thing that I am certain of is that nothing good comes cheap and I am sure you know that everyone is working hard to make money. I want to make my mama proud also.

Your live Instagram video with popular model Eva has literally set tongues wagging. Many are saying there is more to the video than meet the eye. What is really going on between you two?

All I can tell you is that Eva and I are best of friends. She cares about me and I do too.

You guys have been causing a lot of drama on the social media lately; where is this going?

A promised land I believe but sincerely I will just let God take it wheel. Anywhere it leads, I am ready to ride. Eva is a beautiful and lovely woman.

From Borno to Lagos, how do you feel today?

I am the most grateful man on earth. I feel like God loves me more than anyone like this. I am a symbol of grace.

How are you coping with this COVID-19; is it affecting online skits making?

Covid-19 is working for me in a positive way and I think right now I am the president of the internet. With my live video with Eva Apio, I never believe this time will come, but I thank God for all. I am now entertaining the whole Nigeria effortlessly. The feeling is crazy. I think am enjoying my time.

According to the Ebonyi born artist, 'the gates of hell shall not prevail", and the church known as a place of healing is now a place to avoid.

He wrote:

"It's a Shame that Faith in God and Wisdom of God have been relegated in our Society. People of God rely more on Science( Inventions) than God (Inventor)

Some Men of God now seek counsels from the People of the World ( I thought reverse was the case). They have relinquished their Authorities and Churches have become Gathering of Convenience.

They have become Sheep like their Congregation, cowardly waiting for any Shepherd to proffer solution. It's a Shame that Church, known for healing, is now regarded as a place to avoid. ITS A SHAME"

Sinach Commented "The gates of hell shall not prevail !!"
