Posted: 15 May 2021 12:00 AM PDT

Popular comedian and actor, Bovi Ugboma took to his official page to pen down an intriguing story about the journey of the Nigerian singer, Davido.

Davido is currently celebrating his 10 years in the music industry as he has achieved diverse feats. This has led fans and colleagues to join in the celebration.

However, Bovi took to his page to narrate an interesting episode of the singer during the beginning of his career and how the DJ ut off his songs as he accused the singer of not greeting him.

Here's what he wrote;

"Davido walked into koko lounge with a few of his friends. Then the 30 billion gang was still in its embryonic stages so the small venue could accommodate his entourage.

Koko lounge was the biggest comedy club by reputation and Wednesday's were the best comedy nights. It was such a famous Wednesday, many artists came to perform their new hit songs just to market to the organic audience. If they vibed to your new song, the artist was sure the song was gonna be a hit.

Dami Duro had just dropped. So with Davido walking into the lounge, people were already excited. He waltzed through the ecstatic audience to the vip section to take his seat while trying not disturb the comedian that was on stage. We all sat to watch the show In Anticipation of davidos performance. The time came and he hit the stage. The atmosphere was frenzied, everyone was on their feet as the famous beats of the song gyrated the speakers; we were drunk and screaming, the girls lost their home training, the boys lost their manners! As everyone pranced and danced, the unthinkable happened…. unplug. The dj set went off.

The pissed off dj deliberately switched it off. His gross was "davido no greet am when he come" A miasma of anger filled the air. The audience went from happy to irate. Davido surprisingly was still begging this dj. This was a room of about 45 loyal Wednesday customers eager to party but One dj said, "davido no greet am" . @buchicomedian angrily instructed that the music came back on. They were ruining his clubs reputation, he warned. The music started again and as if it hadn't even started before, the hall exploded with ecstasy. One didn't need to be drugged to be caught up in this mood. Davido doubled his energy and his infection spread across the room. Then it happened again. The dj unplugged his set, again! There was this brief silence and then loud protests. Oga dj was hell bent on sabotaging the "small boy wey no get respect". And that was how the evening ended abruptly. I remember assuring the dj that he'd be fired in the morning.

Well, the most important part of the story is that Davido left and went on to become a superstar. Happy ten year anniversary @davido"

“Start saving up your tithes to fund your plan B” – Daddy Freeze reacts to Pastor Paul Adefarasin’s advice to leave Nigeria

Posted: 14 May 2021 03:00 AM PDT

Daddy Freeze has asked Christians to find a "Plan B" which is an escape route out of Nigeria by saving their tithes instead of funding pastors.

Reacting to the advice issued by the head pastor of House on the Rock Church, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, told his church members to find a "Plan B" as an alternative plan to leave the country due to the insecurities brewing in the state.

Freeze has, however, sided with the pastor's opinion but is of the opinion that the tithes, offerings, and seeds should be used to fund leaving Nigeria.

Here's what he wrote;

"Pastor say make you get 'Plan B'. So better start saving up your tithes, seeds & offering to fund your own plan B. Is it wise to continue funding their plan B while yours lies fallow?

The scriptures clearly instructs shepherds to lay down their lives for their sheep like Christ did, so I'm not understanding this everyone is on his own Christian ideology.
When it's time to fund their projects, they come to you and you respond generously with your tithes, seeds, gifts, offering and pledges.
But in the time of war, they remind you that you are on your own and advise you to sort yourself out with a plan B. I struggle to find the cohesiveness in this mindset and I'm benumbed that their supporters are cheering them on, wanting an encore.
Wake up, my advice is that you set aside something for your plan B, start with your tithes, seeds and offering, as it is clear that unlike Christ, who included all of mankind in his plan, you aren't included in theirs".
