Update:: Davido has banned popular music blogger, Ayo Jaguda (@AyoJaguda) from Nigeria and Africa after he accused him of buying YouTube views for his recently released music video, “Wonder Woman“. Trouble started when the music blogger made a series of tweets on Twitter where he badly criticized the visuals to Davido’s new song, saying its trash. The criticism comes on the back of a heated review of the song by some Twitter users. A twitter user, Buen Chico (@Monsiuer_T) had said “Wonder woman the video no follow wonder woman the song, love both separately.” Ayo subsequently jumped on the tweet as he quoted it saying “song is trash, video got fair replay value but as e climb 1m views in 24 hours de burst my head.” On seeing this, Davido, who appears cheesed off, fired back with threats saying “If dem born u and ur papa well in fact add ur mama !!

Update:: Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has revealed 6 ‘facts’ to prove that President Muhammadu Buhari has been ‘replaced’ by an impostor known as ‘Jubril Aminu Alsudani’. PoliticsNGR gathered that in a broadcast from Israel on Saturday, Kanu said; “In the past few days, the Presidency of Nigeria has worked very hard to put a spin on the credible revelations that the man passing off as President of Nigeria is not Buhari but a Jubril from Sudan. The spin runs like this: That Buhari does not have a ‘clone’ or that Jubril is not Buhari’s clone or that Buhari has not been biologically cloned. Even ‘Jubril’ himself, during his current trip to Poland, claimed that he is the ‘real’ Buhari, not a ‘clone’. The standard qualification to becoming a successful body double or impersonator is close resemblance to the person being impersonated. In other words, the political decoy is an individual who has been selected because of strong physical resemblance to the p...

The statement reads: “Two of the conditions we gave Buhari upon his assumption of office were that he should take concrete steps to address the abject poverty and underdevelopment in the North and he has woefully failed to marginally address any of them. “Assuming that things are working in the North or in Nigeria as a whole, we would have taken a different position but everyone can see that things are not working under this government. Perhaps, as a prelude to where this government has taken this country, Buhari wasted six months before being able to set up his...
