I’m Laid Back, Not Shy, Olamide Clarifies Misconception

Nigerian rapper Olamide has addressed popular misconceptions about his character, clarifying that his reserved demeanor is not due to shyness but a deliberate laid-back attitude. In a recent interview on Ada’s Room podcast, Olamide (Baddo) described shyness as a lack of confidence and charisma, whereas he simply prefers not to be bothered. “One thing I wish people could understand about me is I am not shy, I am just laid back,” Olamide said. He went on to explain that shyness involves discomfort in facing people, making eye contact, or conversing, while being laid back is a lifestyle choice about conserving energy and avoiding unnecessary interaction. Olamide emphasized his confidence, opting to maintain a calm and composed outlook rather than being outgoing.

Why I Left Church for Three Years – Ariyiike Dimples

Actress and media personality Ariyiike Owolagba (Ariyiike Dimples) has shared how criticism over her attire led her to stop attending her community church for three years. In an ‘Open Up’ podcast interview, Ariyiike explained that an elderly church member told her she would “go to hell” for wearing a pencil skirt, leaving her feeling wrongly judged and unwelcome. Although Ariyiike remains a practicing Christian, she now prefers worshipping elsewhere, away from the judgmental environment she experienced. She urged churches to adapt and simplify their practices, making young people feel accepted without harsh judgment—especially regarding fashion. Ariyiike recounted how the incident was reported to her father, compelling her to send a photo to her mother to prove her decency. She noted that younger congregants have been drifting to other, more inclusive churches, highlighting the need for reform in how churches relate […]

Trump Brands Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Groups

US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order designating specific chapters of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon as foreign terrorist organisations. The order mandates the Secretary of State and Treasury Secretary to implement broad sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans, within 45 days. The administration alleges that the targeted Muslim Brotherhood affiliates supported Hamas and Hezbollah during the conflict in Gaza, accusing them of supplying aid and participating in joint operations. Trump asserted that these measures are intended to dismantle the financial and operational networks fueling global terror. The move also comes amid a renewed White House crackdown on extremist groups in Africa. Trump recently warned Nigeria of possible cuts to US assistance and even military action if attacks by Boko Haram and ISWAP are not addressed—a claim Nigeria’s government strongly rejects, stating that […]

Kane Relishing New Bayern Role Before Arsenal Clash

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane heads into the Champions League match against Arsenal in outstanding form, thriving in a new, deeper position at the German champions. Once solely known for his goal-scoring prowess, Kane has become more complete under coach Vincent Kompany, taking on creative and defensive duties while still producing outstanding numbers—24 goals in 18 Bayern matches, plus five in five for England. With Jamal Musiala out, Kane’s creative involvement has only grown, often dropping into midfield and adding assists to his record. He expressed how this added responsibility makes him “enjoy football most,” relishing both attacking and defensive contributions. Kane has scored 15 goals in 21 matches against Arsenal and remains a major threat. Arsenal, boasting the best defensive record in Europe and yet to concede in the Champions League, will try to contain their former north London […]

Nigeria Dangerously Close to Normalising Terror — Ex-Minister Essien

Former Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Chief Nduese Essien, has voiced grave concerns over Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, warning the country is “dangerously close to normalising terror.” In a statement, Essien cited recent coordinated attacks and abductions—including the execution of Brigadier General Musa Uba and three soldiers in Borno, 64 kidnapped in Zamfara, 25 female students taken in Kebbi, and over 300 Catholic school pupils abducted in Niger. Essien argues these atrocities have become daily realities, undermining farming, worship, and general life. He faults the Tinubu administration for lacking urgency and for appointing security chiefs lacking strategic defence expertise. Essien claims politicisation and corruption threaten to erode both public trust and the capacity to fight criminal networks. The ex-minister wants a strategy anchored on intelligence-led operations, strong community security, accountability, and targeting sponsors of terrorism regardless of their social […]

Withdrawal of Escorts: Fear Grips VIPs as Police Plan Modalities

Fear has spread among Nigeria's VIPs following President Bola Tinubu’s order for the withdrawal of police escort services. The move, publicized by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, tasks the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) with VIP protection, freeing police for their core public safety duties. The decision, aimed at confronting nationwide security threats, has prompted uncertainty among influential persons, who question the NSCDC’s ability to provide adequate security compared to battle-ready mobile police units. Police sources cite heavy incoming calls from anxious VIPs, with some likening this shift to “engaging boy scouts,” fearing lower training and operational readiness. Security experts highlight years of resource diversion, with many police officers reassigned from community patrol to escort convoys, leaving neighborhoods under-protected. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and civil society groups criticize the move as “political theatre” and not a strategic solution […]
