Tim Godfrey’s Collaboration With Oxlade On “Infinity” Sparks Mixed Reactions Among Christians

Wale busari4 months ago4 months ago02 mins

Nigerian gospel artist Tim Godfrey has stirred mixed reactions online following the release of his new single “Infinity,” featuring Afrobeats singer Oxlade. The track, which dropped this week, serves as the seventh song on Godfrey’s upcoming 12-track studio album No Label. It blends contemporary gospel rhythms with Oxlade’s smooth R&B and Afrobeats style, creating a fusion that has drawn both praise and criticism. While many listeners have hailed the collaboration for its creativity and crossover appeal, others — particularly within Nigeria’s Christian community — have questioned the choice of featuring Oxlade, who is widely known for secular hits such as “Ku Lo Sa” and “Away.” In a statement unveiling the song, Godfrey described Infinity as a “magnificent piece” that aligns with his vision of spreading faith-driven music to a broader audience. The single follows Praise the Lord, which also appears on the forthcoming album. Reactions on social media have been divided, with supporters celebrating the blend of genres as a modern expression of worship, while critics argue that inviting a secular artist onto a gospel record undermines the sacred nature of the message.

Tim Godfrey Criticizes Churches for Poor Treatment of Gospel Artists, Reveals Being Paid in Yams and Live Chicken

Wale busari5 months ago4 months ago02 mins

Gospel singer Tim Godfrey has raised concerns over the way some churches in Nigeria treat gospel artists, revealing that he has been paid with yams and even a live chicken for his performances. In a video shared on Thursday by AsakuGRN on X, the award-winning singer expressed frustration over the lack of fair compensation for gospel performers, saying it has made performing in Nigeria increasingly challenging. “I don’t like coming. I come to Nigeria, but it has become difficult because of how artists are being treated,” Godfrey said in the viral clip. He described receiving food items instead of monetary payment and questioned how artists are expected to meet basic expenses. “I have collected tubers of yams as honorarium. I have even received a living, breathing chicken. How am I supposed to pay school fees, rent, or buy property with that? It’s completely unfair,” he added. The singer’s remarks have sparked widespread debate on social media about the ethics of church payments for gospel performances and the need to properly support artists in ministry settings.

King Mitchy Shocks Fans, Reemerges Online After Death Claims

Wale busari46 minutes ago04 mins

After her management declared her dead, popular influencer King Mitchy has reemerged on Instagram, sharing a video featuring her mother discussing a project and addressing recent criticism. In her post, she spoke candidly about the backlash surrounding her school renovation project. She explained that her actions were motivated by personal experience, not public recognition: “A lot of people have a lot to say about me lately… questioning my intentions, dragging my name, and trying to discredit something I did from my heart. Yes, I renovated that school. I didn’t do it for validation. I did it because I understand what it means to grow up without certain privileges.” King Mitchy reflected on the pain of being judged without understanding her life: “But what hurts me the most is how quick people are to judge when they don’t know anything about my life. You don’t know where I’m coming from.” She shared a deeply personal account of her upbringing: “I grew up without a father. If I see my father today, I wouldn’t even recognize him. The only time I ever saw him was when I was about 8 years old, and my mother took me to the prison to see him. That was it.” Highlighting the challenges she overcame, she continued: “You don’t know what it feels like to grow up like that. You don’t know the strength it takes to keep going, to build yourself, to stand on your own. Yet, every day, people sit behind their phones and try to tear me down, insult me, bully me, and make me feel like I’m nothing.” Despite the criticism, King Mitchy affirmed her resilience: “But let me say this clearly: your words do not define me. My story did not break me, it built me. And everything I do, I do it with a genuine heart. If you choose to hate me, that’s your decision. But don’t try to rewrite my truth.” She concluded with a message of determination: “I will keep growing. I will keep doing good. And I will not let anyone silence me.” King Mitchy’s return to social media comes amid intense speculation over her personal life and philanthropic efforts. Her message underscores her resilience, self-determination, and commitment to making a positive impact despite public scrutiny.

“I Will Not Be Bullied” – Seyi Tinubu Breaks Silence Over King Mitchy Controversy

Wale busari1 hour ago04 mins

Seyi Tinubu has addressed the growing controversy linking his name to the online feud between King Mitchy and VeryDarkMan, following claims by her manager that the influencer allegedly committed suicide. In a detailed statement, Tinubu said he had been deliberately dragged into a dispute he neither started nor participated in. He firmly denied the allegations and insinuations circulating about him, describing them as completely false. According to him, he met King Mitchy only once in a public setting, alongside other people, where he provided financial support toward her NGO activities — just as he has done for many young Nigerians and organisations focused on empowerment. He explained that a follow-up meeting had been scheduled for him to receive an update on the impact of the donation, but it did not take place because he had been unwell. “There has never been a private encounter, no secret arrangement, and no impropriety of any kind.” Tinubu expressed concern that a feud he had no involvement in was being used as a vehicle to attach his name to a narrative lacking factual basis. He suggested that VeryDarkMan appeared to have been looking for an opportunity to attack his reputation and seized on the situation to do so. “If my name generates attention, let us at least deal in facts. Supporting charitable causes is not a crime. Meeting someone publicly to support their NGO is not a scandal. Repeating falsehoods loudly does not transform them into truth.” He stressed that he would not be bullied or pressured by online attacks, noting that he understands the damaging impact harassment can have. Tinubu condemned the escalation of online hostility, warning that no disagreement should deteriorate into harassment capable of harming someone’s wellbeing or safety. “I will not be bullied, and I will not dignify fiction with panic.” Reaffirming his commitment to philanthropy, he highlighted over a decade of documented work through his foundation and personal giving, supporting initiatives in education, enterprise, health and youth empowerment. He maintained that philanthropy and outreach must never be politicised or weaponised. “To those seeking to manufacture controversy: Nigeria needs builders, not bullies. We need responsible discourse, not sensationalism driven by speculation.” Tinubu concluded by firmly rejecting the accusations against him and calling for de-escalation, restraint and a return to truth and responsibility. “Noise will fade. Character and work endure. I remain committed to serving Nigerians, especially our youth, with integrity and transparency.”

Iran Strikes US Military Bases Across UAE, Qatar, Bahrain And Kuwait In Major Gulf Escalation

Wale busari1 hour ago03 mins

Several Gulf nations came under missile attack on Saturday after Iran vowed retaliation over recent strikes by the United States and Israel, pushing the conflict into a region known for its relative stability. Authorities in the United Arab Emirates confirmed that one person was killed in Abu Dhabi, though further details about the victim were not immediately released. Meanwhile, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and Jordan — all hosts to American military installations — said their air defense systems intercepted incoming missiles. In a statement, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for the attacks, declaring that US bases and what it described as “occupied territories” had been struck. The group warned that operations would continue until its objectives were achieved. Bahrain also reported an attack within its territory, stating that a service facility connected to the United States Fifth Fleet had been hit. Witness footage showed plumes of smoke rising near the coastline as sirens sounded across the island kingdom. Residents in Abu Dhabi described hearing multiple loud explosions, with some saying their homes shook from the blasts. Emergency alerts were sent to mobile phones, urging people to remain indoors and avoid windows due to the missile threat. Fighter jets were later seen patrolling the skies as defense systems worked to neutralize the projectiles. The UAE’s state news agency reported that several missiles were successfully intercepted, but falling debris struck a residential area in the capital, causing property damage and resulting in the death of an Asian national. As a precaution, aviation authorities announced a temporary and partial closure of the country’s airspace. Officials later confirmed that a second wave of missiles was also intercepted, with fragments landing in parts of Abu Dhabi without causing additional injuries. With tensions still high, regional governments remain on alert amid fears of further escalation.

Prime Care Hospital Denies King Mitchy Died At Its Facility Amid Conflicting Reports

Wale busari2 hours ago02 mins

A new development has emerged in the ongoing reports surrounding popular influencer Mukoro Michelle, better known as King Mitchy, and it has taken the situation in a completely different direction. Just as many were still reacting to earlier claims about her alleged death, fresh information has surfaced, casting doubt on the initial narrative and sparking widespread confusion. Prime Care Hospital, the facility her manager previously mentioned as the place where she was reportedly confirmed d.ead, has now issued an official statement distancing itself from the claims. According to the hospital’s management, King Mitchy was neither admitted to their facility nor did she pass away there. They stated clearly that their medical records show no trace of her name as a patient, directly contradicting earlier reports linking the incident to the hospital. With these conflicting accounts now in the public space, the situation remains unclear as many await further official clarification on what truly happened.

U.S. and Israel Launch Massive Coordinated Strike on Iran

Fola Badmus4 hours ago02 mins

The United States and Israel carried out coordinated attacks on Iran early Saturday, significantly escalating regional tensions after weeks of strained diplomacy and what analysts describe as the largest American military buildup in the Middle East since the Iraq War. The strikes come months after last June’s 12-day conflict, during which Washington joined Israel’s air campaign targeting Tehran’s nuclear facilities. The latest operation signals a renewed phase of military confrontation between the long-standing adversaries. Although U.S. President Donald Trump had reportedly weighed more limited military options, sources cited by CNN described the new action as “not a small strike,” indicating a broader and more expansive operation than previously anticipated. Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, said the attack was conducted “to remove threats,” according to the Associated Press. Since early January, the United States has strengthened its military footprint across the Middle East, deploying two aircraft carriers, guided-missile destroyers, fighter jets, bombers, and advanced air-defense systems. The buildup had fueled speculation of a potential large-scale operation amid deteriorating relations with Tehran. Iranian authorities have yet to release full details regarding casualties or damage resulting from the strikes. The situation remains fluid, with regional and global leaders closely monitoring developments amid fears of wider escalation.

Friends, family, and fans of actor Bamidele Saint, famously known as Okemesi, gathered in Lagos on Friday to lay the beloved comic actor to rest, three days after his death. Okemesi died on Tuesday at a hospital in Lagos after slipping into a coma reportedly caused by complications from medication he was receiving. He was pronounced dead at 11:50 a.m. that morning. At the burial service at Ayobo Cemetery, the actor’s sister was visibly distraught, calling for accountability over his death. In a video from the graveside that has circulated widely, she said, “If it is someone that did this to my brother, may the person pay. I am the last born. If it is someone that did this, in one month time let the person pay.” Okemesi was celebrated for his work in Yoruba films and comedy skits, earning recognition for his humour and his use of the Ekiti dialect, which made him a favourite among cinema-goers and online audiences alike.

Nigerian Goalkeeper Amas Obasogie Rejects Match-Fixing Claims, Insists Mistakes Were Unintentional

Wale busari6 hours ago03 mins

Amas Obasogie has firmly denied claims of match-fixing leveled against him by his Tanzanian club, Singida Black Stars. The goalkeeper’s statement came shortly after the club announced a three-month suspension while investigations into the allegations continue. Obasogie’s troubles began following a last-minute mistake from a free kick in a Tanzanian League match that cost the Black Stars a 1-1 draw with Namungo FC. He had also made a notable error in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup playoff against Burundi’s Flambeau du Centre, which led to him being dropped for the second leg. In a public response, the former Bendel Insurance captain stressed that his mistakes on the field were unintentional. “I state clearly and unequivocally that I have never engaged in match fixing and will never do so. The goals conceded in the CAF Confederation Cup match against Flambeau du Centre and the NBC Premier League fixture against Namungo FC were the result of footballing errors, not deliberate misconduct. I accept full responsibility for my performance; however, mistakes on the field must not be mistaken for match manipulation,” he said. Obasogie also reaffirmed his dedication to the club, expressing readiness to appear before any disciplinary panel to clear his name. “As a national team goalkeeper representing the great nation of Nigeria, I fully understand the severe consequences of match fixing. My integrity, reputation, and career are invaluable to me. I have sworn never to bring the game of football, my club, or my country into disrepute. I remain fully committed to Singida Black Stars SC. This club means a great deal to me, and I hold deep respect for its leadership, technical crew, teammates, supporters, sponsors, and every stakeholder associated with it. My focus remains on contributing positively to the team, maintaining our momentum, and working tirelessly to help the club achieve its ambitions of winning trophies both in the league and in continental competitions.” Obasogie is the second Nigerian goalkeeper to face match-fixing allegations in recent months, following Maduka Okoye, who was suspended for two months by Udinese over a betting scandal.
