Eucharia Anunobi –Why It Is Evil To Post Your Account Details

Posted: 22 Nov 2021 08:00 AM PST

Nigerian actress, producer and pastor, Eucharia Anunobi has slammed those posting account details on social media to solicit funds from fans and friends.

Days ago after Davido posted his account details and raked in over N100million, from friends and well wishers, other celebrities followed suit.

Some celebrities like Kunle Remi, Mercy Eke, Pere Egbi posted their account details on social media demanding money.

Eucharia, who seemed unpleased with the trend said those putting up account details are shameless and evil.

In a post on her Instagram page, the 56-year-old actress wrote: "The love of money is said to be evil not money rather what is evil is doing anything shamelessly and negatively to get money
 
"You are following a trend soliciting for money when that money is not to help the helpless, how gross!

"Putting up your account numbers to get money when you're not doing anything to help humanity is evil."In related development, Davido, has donated N250,000,000 to orphanages across the country from the cash he raised in donations from his friends and fans. 

Baba Fryo Claims Davido Neglected Him In Time Of Need But Donated N250m To ‘Unknown’ — “This Is Wickedness”

Posted: 22 Nov 2021 07:00 AM PST

Baba Fryo, has expressed his disappointment that David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido neglected him, 'a known face', in his trying times, only to gift unknown orphans N250m.

NOLLYWOODTIMES had reported that Davido donated N250m to orphanages across the country days after he raised over N201m in donations after asking his friends, fans and well-wishers for N100m to help him clear his Rolls Royce from the Port.

In a speech via his Instagram account, the 'Dem Go Dey Pose' singer said, "There is something that I have been seeing on social media that someone gifted orphanages N250m. To me, the thing is funny. I remember when I was depressed, they tagged many of my colleagues; they tagged Davido, Tuface, and others but none of them responded. It was people that have never seen me in this life, people that do not know me that responded.

"This N200m that I am hearing about and seeing on social media is surprising to me. If someone like me who is popular and well known was not helped, it is people and orphanages that no one knows that is being helped; they are been given N250m, it is so funny. I will advise Nigerians and Black people to be wise and stop all these things.

"White people do not do all these things. All what we are doing will look so funny to them. I am not saying that giving money to orphanages is a bad thing because I am an ambassador to an NGO that I do not collect a dime from. But funny enough, when I was depressed and had problems, the NGO did not respond. You see how we are. Now I am seeing N200m and they are posting it everywhere; Davido gives money to orphanages and inaugurates a five-man committee to distribute that money. Everything sounds funny to me.
 
"If I see someone doing good, I appreciate them; I am not saying it is a bad thing. I just want to ask people why someone like me that people know, who cried out; why did they not help the person that they know? It is the people that they do not know or can see their faces that they are helping out with N250m. Let's all think; will we call that wickedness or ignorance?

"I tagged the Delta, Rivers and Lagos State government, none of them came to my aid. Is that wickedness or ignorance? But today I am seeing that N250m is going to be distributed to orphanages all over Nigeria. I will advise Nigerians to open their eyes."

Barnabas EP Review —Since 2020, Kizz Daniel Is Still The King Of Love

Posted: 22 Nov 2021 04:30 AM PST

Kizz Daniel is still the king of love, he hasn't fallen short since the official release of his third studio album, King Of Love in 2020. Now, Barnabas becomes his debut extended play effort that also comes with describing him as the king of love on various themes of the project, apart from a few tracks with different topics he spoke of yet, Barnabas, is the definition strongly confirming that he is the king of love in between lines.

The creation and demeanor of Barnabas give the right picture of Kizz Daniel expressing himself in ways that connect love with women. Well, He also offers random people the chance to appreciate and bind their love with an in-depth understanding of how they should be themselves and accept who they are regardless of what society requires them. It is another foundation of true love, amplifying selflessness towards humans kind, confirming him as the king of love once more.


Well, away from erotic and the selfless kind of love, the fandom and vanity comprise sturdily defined grooves Barnabas comes with. Kizz Daniel declares that he doesn't "Lie" and also concentrated on the influence of his woman's love on his life.

He confirms that she and her love consumes him like fire on "Burn", the fifth track off the 7-track EP, as he laid confirmation of the longevity of his love interest and claims to also be there for his woman even when old age picks up with him.

Although, Kizz Daniel settles here like one who has no idea of a Playboy. He was aptly structuring his creativity with enough innocence. Meanwhile, the opening track "Pour Me Water", sounds lush and puts him on a pedestal where he has to prove his love. He seems to be deserving of the love he tends to search for and deliver accordingly. While "Addict" was a bit more personal as well. Kizz Daniel is a genuine pop star, and Addict gives him well-deserved credit alongside. The sequencing of the project is top-notch also accompanied with each record production, super fantastic.

"Eh God" should be the reveler's most favorite song from this EP. The record has a solid purpose to keep the clubhouse together in one shape, as it is club-worthy and can be easily penetrative and would connect if it would accompany a dance step. Meanwhile, either Shaku-shaku or legwork can perfectly go with it, but it's trendy enough to cause a new dance wave in pop culture as I'll leave Kizz Daniel with that, even as the revelers would move with it and appreciate it.


The Cavemen's effort on the pop-infused "Oshe" was exotic and talks about a love that he becomes grateful for, despite the appealing nature of the record and the great chemistry it comes with, The Cavemen has always represented without ever missing out on flavor. Now the last track, "Skin" featuring the German creator Kelvyn Colt's delivery slowly creeps in and has a way to shape listeners' perspectives about themselves. Including Kizz Daniel's effort alongside.Well, Skin demands great listening and understanding to shape one's perspective about themselves. It is a song with a strong message which concerns folks if they listen in between lines. I trust they would generally relate how it affects their lives in different ways.

In conclusion, Barnabas becomes another Kizz Daniel's effort having to portray him as the king of love, not just as the creator who boxes himself with loving women on his stories confinement. He also loves to shape the perspective about how people should see themselves, supporting who they are, affecting them to love and appreciate how they've been created and it's the foundation of the true love which Kizz Daniel possesses. Since 2020, after the release of his third studio album, King Of Love, he is still the indisputable king of love to date.

Music boss, Don Jazzy has disclosed why he's yet to be pinned to any lady or fully kick-off a romantic relationship as expected.

The Mavin Records CEO in an interview with Toolz and Gbemi in their popular Off Air show noted that he doesn't know how to woo women and prefer them wooing him instead. According to him, he has dated many beautiful women who requested explicit photos of him.

"I have dated very beautiful women who have asked me to send (them) nude pictures. I never send it. (And these are) women finer than Rihanna. I don't know how to woo; I like it when people woo me." He opined.

When asked to read out some messages in his social media accounts, Don Jazzy declined, saying;

"I don't (even) allow my social media team have access to my phone. It is very sacred. People come to my inbox to pour out their hearts and other stuff."

Narrating how he discovered new artistes currently signed to his record label, he said:

"I discovered them through social media. People don't know the power of social media. I look out for talents, though (good) looks are a plus. I also look at the space the person would fill in my camp. If I see you on my timeline and you sound like Rema, I obviously don't need you. If I also see you on Instagram and you sound like somebody the industry already has, that means I don't need you."

Speaking further, the music magnate noted that the industry is kinder to male artistes than female ones.

"The industry is generally kinder to male artistes, and I don't know why. In this music industry, I have noticed that women suffer. Over the years, I have seen that it's a difficult market for women. Everybody wants to have sex with them and how many people are they going to have sex with? It's ridiculous." Don Jazzy affirmed.

Reno Omokri praises singer over N250M donation to charity — “Davido showed deep understanding of human nature”

Posted: 21 Nov 2021 11:00 PM PST

Controversial social media commentator and activist, Reno Omokri has praised singer Davido for donating N250M to orphanages in Nigeria.

Recall that Davido announced on Saturday, that he's given out the more than N200M he received from his birthday challenge, while adding a personal N50M as donation to charity.

While reacting to this development, Reno Omokri has praised the singer for making such a decision, while adding that few people in the country would donate to orphanages, who need the money most than Davido.


According to Reno Omokri, the "FEM" crooner understood human nature deeply, hence the reason why he (Davido) pulled such a stunt, because he knew people are more likely to donate monies to his account than to a charity.
 
While taking to his Facebook page, the former presidential aide wrote;

"To show you how vain human nature is, very few people will donate N1 million to orphanages, who really need the money. But they will fall over themselves to donate N1 million to Davido, who doesn't need the money. Davido understood that. And did what he did. If he had asked them to donate to orphanages, you won't see the deluge of Naira rain you saw. Davido showed a deep understanding of human nature. I personally believe that this was his intention all along. And I love how he added N59 million of his own money. That will show those who said that he was doing this because he is broke that they are the ones who are broke, both morally and financially. Bravo David Adeleke. Bravo!"

Navy Vows – Why We Must Punish Cute Abiola

Posted: 21 Nov 2021 07:00 AM PST

The real reason naval personnel and online comedian, Abdulgafar Ahmad Oliuwatoyin, better known as Cute Abiola must be punished has again been explained by The Nigerian Navy.

Cute Abiola, a naval officer, was last seen last week after he left his residence for his office at Navy Town.

He was said to have spoken with his wife over the telephone upon arrival at the office, but several attempts to reach him afterwards were unsuccessful.

In an interview with Punch The spokesperson for the Nigerian Navy, Commodore Suleiman Dahun said the Instagram comedian deliberately flouted the armed forces social media policy.

"There is an armed forces social media policy that was promulgated by the defense headquarters, and its principal regulation is that military personnel should not post photos or videos of themselves in uniform while engaging in personal or official activities, Dahun said.

"Military personnel are also not allowed to make comments or share official military decisions, activities or operations on social media. They are also not allowed to forward materials on social media. Copies of the policy are available with the Director of Defense Information. It is not a restricted document, so it can be made available to anyone who needs it."

He said after violating the rule, naval authorities invited Abiola, who was on leave at the time to come and explain himself, but he ignored their calls.

"When we got the clip wherein he violated the policy, we asked him to come back to explain himself but he did not return. His commanding officer called him to explain himself concerning the video clip but he ignored his commander and didn't return until his leave was over.

"When he returned, he was put in custody. If he had come back when he was called upon to explain himself, we would not be discussing this. We are not in an animal farm. We are human beings too but laws have to be obeyed," he said.

Dahun further said the comedian would be tried first and if found guilty, he would be punished.

"He would get his due punishment, a light one, not something hard. We recognise that he is an entertainer and he could even be given an opportunity to showcase his talent during (social) events of the Nigerian Navy or the Armed Forces. There are two major reasons we are uncomfortable with our personnel exhibiting themselves on social media, and one of them is for their personal safety and security", he said.

You'll recall that on Wednesday, November 17, the Nigerian Navy released a statement to debunk the claim that Cute Abiola was missing.

In the statement, the navy clarified that the comedian was detained for disobeying its orders.
