Asake’s Lagos concert under fire over ₦300k ticket price

Afrobeats star Asake has come under intense criticism after flyers and online listings indicated that tickets for his planned Lagos concert were priced at around ₦300,000. The fee, believed to be for regular or standard access, quickly went viral and triggered a wave of angry reactions from fans on social media.​ Many Nigerians described the price as “ridiculous” and “tone‑deaf,” arguing that it effectively shuts out ordinary supporters at a time when people are struggling with inflation and rising living costs. Some users said they had attended previous Asake shows for far less and questioned why a local concert should now cost several months’ minimum wage.​ Commentary online also framed the concert as another example of big Nigerian events becoming exclusive gatherings for the wealthy. Critics urged promoters to create more reasonable tiers so that loyal grassroots fans can still […]

BBNaija Season 10 recorded over 5m illegal streams — MultiChoice raises alarm

A senior MultiChoice executive has revealed that Big Brother Naija Season 10 recorded more than five million illegal streams across various online platforms. Speaking at NECLive 2025, the official said the figure was compiled from monitoring data and takedown reports gathered during and after the show.​ She warned that such massive piracy erodes advertising and subscription revenue, undermining the huge investments that go into producing and broadcasting BBNaija. According to her, unchecked illegal streaming could eventually threaten the sustainability of large-scale reality formats in Nigeria.​ The executive noted that some viewers justify illegal access on the grounds of economic hardship and high subscription costs. However, she stressed that creators, crew and broadcasters all depend on legitimate payments, urging fans to support the show through authorised channels only.​ Her comments sparked mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians criticising MultiChoice over pricing […]

I’ve only dated older men — Seyi Hunter

Nollywood actress, filmmaker and adult-lifestyle entrepreneur Seyi Hunter has revealed that she has only ever dated older men. In a recent chat, she said her partners have typically been in their late 50s and above, stressing that this is not a phase but a consistent pattern in her love life.​ Hunter explained that her attraction to older men is rooted in their maturity, sense of responsibility and ability to provide emotional and financial stability. She suggested that, in her experience, men closer to her age often lack the patience and seriousness she expects in a relationship.​ According to her, older partners tend to be more straightforward about their intentions and better at communication, making it easier to build trust and long-term plans. She also hinted that such relationships allow her to focus on her career and business without dealing with […]

Over 600,000 left without power after Russian strikes hit Kyiv region

More than 600,000 people in the Kyiv region are without electricity after overnight Russian missile and drone strikes hit energy infrastructure, Ukrainian officials say. The latest barrage targeted power facilities around the capital, causing widespread outages and renewed disruption as winter sets in.​ Regional authorities said repair crews were working to restore supplies but warned that some districts could face prolonged cuts due to the scale of the damage. Images from affected areas showed darkened apartment blocks and residents relying on torches and generators as emergency teams assessed the impact.​ Ukraine’s air force reported intercepting several incoming missiles and drones, but acknowledged that some projectiles got through and struck critical infrastructure. The attack is part of a broader Russian campaign that has repeatedly targeted Ukraine’s power grid in an apparent attempt to weaken civilian resilience and pressure Kyiv’s leadership.​

Actor Taye Arimoro rejects AGN suspension over alleged on-set assault

Actor Taye Arimoro has denounced his indefinite suspension by major Nollywood guilds over an alleged on-set assault, describing their joint statement as “inaccurate” and promising to challenge it in court. The case stems from a reported clash on the set of the film “Pieces of Love” involving producer and actress Peggy Ovire.​ Arimoro alleges that trouble started when he attempted to leave the set after his scheduled call time elapsed, claiming Ovire blocked his vehicle and that he was subsequently detained and assaulted by her team. He is demanding N100 million in compensation from Ovire and has dismissed her version of events as “grossly misleading.”​ Ovire, on the other hand, maintains that Arimoro was the aggressor in the incident. After a probe, a joint panel of the Directors Guild of Nigeria, Actors Guild of Nigeria and Association of Movie Producers […]

VIPs rush NSCDC, private guards as police escorts are withdrawn

There has been a surge in demand for the services of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigerian Correctional Service and private security firms after President Bola Tinubu ordered the withdrawal of police escorts from VIPs. The directive, aimed at boosting police presence in communities, has already seen Inspector General Kayode Egbetokun recall more than 11,500 escort officers nationwide.​ Findings across states show many affected politicians and high‑profile figures are now making frantic moves to secure alternative armed protection. Senior NSCDC officers in Abuja and Enugu confirmed they have been inundated with calls and formal applications from VIPs requesting personnel for home and personal security, even as the corps struggles with limited manpower and multiple national assignments.​ Private security companies are also reporting a spike in enquiries but say they lack enough trained guards to meet sudden demand.

ASUU demands salary review, says lecturers’ welfare is a fundamental right

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Enugu State University of Science and Technology branch, has called for an urgent review of staff salaries, declaring that lecturers’ welfare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. The union said academics at the institution deserve a pay structure aligned with national benchmarks and the 25–35 per cent wage awards already implemented in other universities.​ ASUU argued that university teachers have endured the same salary scale for about 16 years despite repeated currency devaluations and soaring inflation. It maintained that the current pay package cannot sustain lecturers, stop brain drain or motivate quality teaching and research in Nigerian campuses.​ The union insisted that welfare, including fair remuneration, is a core component of workers’ fundamental rights and central to the survival of public universities. It rejected piecemeal wage awards it described as inadequate and called […]

Super Eagles and the ‘curse’ of the white Naija jersey

Nigeria’s Super Eagles are once again under scrutiny as fans revive talk of a “curse” linked to the team’s white ‘Naija’ jersey. Since Nike introduced the bold white design with “Naija” emblazoned across the chest, several of the team’s most disappointing results have come while wearing it, turning the kit into a symbol of squandered chances in the eyes of many supporters.​ The current white strip, launched for the 2024–2025 cycle, features a predominantly white base, green hoops on the sleeves and shorts, and a striking “Naija” inscription in green across the front. It was meant to project confidence and national pride, but has instead become associated with limp displays, missed chances and dropped points in key qualifiers and friendlies.​ For a footballing nation as passionate as Nigeria, repeated misfortune in the same jersey naturally feeds superstition. Some fans now […]
