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

Wale busari5 months ago5 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 ago5 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.

Juliana Olayode Condemns Viral “Holy Spirit Carry Me” Trend, Urges Christians To Show Reverence

Wale busari19 minutes ago04 mins

Juliana Olayode has openly expressed her displeasure over the trending “Holy Spirit, carry me” cruise making waves across social media. The Nollywood star took to Instagram to address what she considers a worrying shift from reverence to ridicule, calling out fellow celebrities and online users who have turned the prayerful phrase into humorous captions. While she acknowledged that calling on the Holy Spirit remains a powerful declaration of faith and a spiritually uplifting expression, she said she finds it uncomfortable seeing it twisted into jokes, particularly those referencing body size and physical features. According to her, sacred expressions should not be reduced to punchlines for engagement or online trends. She wrote: “It’s absolutely okay for us to ask the Holy Spirit to carry us; that’s a powerful prayer and a beautiful song. What I don’t quite understand are some of the captions that are turning it into a cruise. Seeing captions like Holyspirit no carry me because of my big nyash, because I get weight, because he no like small things, makes me cringe. Do we know who we’re talking about here? The Holyspirit?! Please, let’s be careful. Let’s not reduce something sacred to a joke. Please, let’s honour and revere the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not for trends or a punchline for attention. Let’s honour Him. I know we like to joke and catch cruise online, and sometimes it’s really just vibes. But I’ve been feeling a bit uncomfortable, we Christians take too many things with levity, people of other religions wouldn’t dare mention the name of their prophet or god without honour. We throw the name of JESUS around with no regard for the Holy Spirit? No, please, it’s a NO!!!!! NO!!!!!! Everything can’t always be fun and games, not when it concerns Someone so precious, not when it concerns THE HOLYSPIRIT. For me personally, we can make jokes, do fun things, and be joyful without being careless. Just sharing my heart” Her statement has generated mixed reactions online. While many agreed that matters of faith deserve deep respect, others argued that humor and spirituality can exist side by side without diminishing belief. One thing is clear: Juliana Olayode is standing firm in her conviction that sacred things should never be sacrificed for social media trends.

Bola Tinubu Orders Immediate Suspension Of Airport Cashless Payment System

Wale busari4 hours ago04 mins

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the immediate suspension of the recently introduced cashless payment system at airports across Nigeria following complaints of severe congestion and passenger hardship. The directive came barely a week after the system was rolled out, with reports that the new policy had caused long queues and delays at airport gates, leading to many travellers missing their flights. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, disclosed the development while briefing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja and chaired by President Tinubu. According to Keyamo, the cashless system was initially introduced to curb corruption and improve revenue collection for the Federal Government, replacing a payment process that had existed for more than five decades. However, its implementation created significant operational challenges. “We introduced our toolkits across the country in order to eliminate corruption and optimize revenue for the federal government. You recall that this practice has gone on for more than 50 years. “With the introduction of the cashless system less than two weeks ago, it has created a lot of gridlock across the country. Mr. President was very concerned about the welfare of Nigerians and the fact that most Nigerians were losing or missing their flights. “And so Mr. President, out of empathy, directed today that we should suspend the present system because it creates a lot of gridlock and Nigerians are suffering as a result of it.” The minister said the president instructed the ministry to temporarily return to the previous payment arrangement while a more effective electronic system is developed. “He directed me to go back to the drawing board. We should revert to the status quo, suspend the present system whereby people have to pay through the various means we introduced at the gates across the country, and then perfect the system properly. “In fact, the President directed me that this should not take too long and that I should get back to him on this issue. “We should go back and, if possible, even engage the private sector to ensure that we establish an electronic system by which we can collect this money at the gates to the extent that it will not create the gridlock we are having right now. “So I am hereby directing, also based on the directive of the President, to suspend the present process. We should go back to the drawing board.” The suspension will remain in effect while authorities work on developing a more efficient and seamless payment system for airport users nationwide.

Rivers LG Chairman Accused Of Ordering Attack On Former Media Aide

Wale busari4 hours ago03 mins

Tensions have risen in Ahoada West Local Government Area, Rivers State, after former media aide Minnie Ogadinma accused the council chairman, Eugene Ekpelle, of ordering an assault on her. The allegation follows Ogadinma’s social media post highlighting the poor condition of Community Secondary School in Odioku. Ogadinma claimed that after sharing a video showing dilapidated classrooms and lack of basic facilities, Ekpelle allegedly came to her residence with his younger brother and aides. She said the chairman accused her of trying to tarnish his image and instructed his brother to “teach her a lesson.” She alleged that the confrontation turned violent, with both she and her mother reportedly assaulted and a shovel brought into the altercation before neighbours intervened. Ogadinma said she sustained injuries and was relieved of her duties as media aide later that day. She insisted her only intention was to highlight the school’s condition and appeal for help. The council, through the Chairman’s Chief Press Secretary, dismissed the claims as “false and deliberately misleading.” According to the statement, Ekpelle visited Ogadinma’s home for a peaceful discussion, during which she became confrontational. The council maintained that the chairman was not involved in any physical altercation and challenged the public to provide evidence supporting the allegations. The council also noted that Community Secondary School falls under the Rivers State Government, not the local council, and urged residents to ignore attempts to politicize the matter. Civil society groups and rights advocates have expressed concern over the incident. A Port Harcourt-based human rights lawyer called for a thorough investigation, emphasizing that no citizen should face violence for speaking out on public infrastructure. The Director of Pilex Centre for Civic Education said Ogadinma acted within her constitutional rights, while the Director of Relief International Africa demanded the chairman’s arrest and prosecution if the allegations are verified, along with a public apology and compensation for medical expenses. The police are yet to issue an official statement, and residents of Ahoada West have called for calm as investigations continue.

FIFA Dashes Super Eagles’ World Cup Hope, Confirms DR Congo for Play-Off Tourney

Wale busari5 hours ago01 mins

FIFA on Wednesday confirmed the final line-up for the inter-confederation play-off tournament, naming DR Congo as Africa’s representative. The development by the footballing body has dashed Nigeria’s hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In an accreditation notice circulated to journalists ahead of the competition, FIFA detailed the tournament format and listed the six participating nations. DR Congo’s inclusion leaves no room for Nigeria, whose football federation had challenged the result of their defeat in the CAF play-offs in November 2025. The Nigeria Football Federation lodged a formal protest, alleging that DR Congo fielded ineligible players during the decisive tie, which ended 1-1 and went to penalties, where Nigeria lost. The appeal sought to overturn the result and secure the Super Eagles’ place in the inter-continental play-offs.

Sunday Igboho Faces Backlash After Wearing APC Cap At Olubadan’s Ramadan Lecture

Wale busari5 hours ago04 mins

Yoruba nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has sparked social media debate after he was spotted wearing a fez cap emblazoned with the logo of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at a public event on Tuesday. Igboho attended the first Ramadan lecture hosted by the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasheed Ladoja, since the monarch’s coronation. In a video that quickly went viral, the activist was seen greeting Oba Ladoja and the event’s guest lecturer, Chief Imam of Offa, Sheikh Muyideen Salmon, while wearing the APC-branded cap. The sight immediately drew criticism and comparisons to separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu, with many questioning the consistency of Igboho’s political stance. On Twitter, one user, #Jaythrilli, wrote: “Sunday Igboho shamelessly gallivanting with an APC cap on. You can’t be fighting for Yoruba freedom and still dine with the people who impoverished the same Yoruba people. Reason I don’t rate him at all.” Another, #Felixherbt, commented: “For those who still don’t understand what Mazi Nnamdi is fighting for, soon you will all understand. Today, Sunday Igboho is jumping around with the APC cartel. They promised Nnamdi Kanu a political position to win him over; he rejected it. My respect for MNK has doubled.” User #Admiral_Cyborg added: “From freeing the Yoruba from the claws of the Fulani to kissing the ring. I present to you, Sunday Igboho! This is why Kanu is still in Sokoto.” On Facebook, Samuel Olafusi expressed his surprise: “Wait, is that an APC cap on his head? If you really join, you become a saint. Why has Nnamdi Kanu not been released? They got punished for the same reasons. Nigeria is truly divided, and we live in a transitional democracy.” Some, however, offered a more measured perspective. #daddyfemzy said: “You can’t really blame this guy. He was in an asylum, declared wanted by Buhari, dead or alive. The recent APC caucus brokered his return home courtesy of Ladoja. What do you expect? Let’s be practical. If you were him, wouldn’t you?” The video has reignited conversations about the intersection of activism and politics in Nigeria, raising questions about the paths of prominent separatist figures like Sunday Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu.

Carter Efe’s Baby Mama Elma Fires Back at King Mitchy, Sets Record Straight on $100 Controversy

Wale busari6 hours ago04 mins

Carter Efe’s baby mama, Elma, has fired back at social media influencer King Mitchy after being dragged into the ongoing online controversy involving VeryDarkMan and Seyi Tinubu. The drama began when Elma commented under a post about King Mitchy, saying, “Omo she’s on something dw,” a remark that sparked reactions among followers. King Mitchy noticed the comment, took a screenshot, and shared it with the caption: “See someone I gave 100 Dollar when she came to my office to tell me bout what’s happening in her lyf. Chai.” Elma responded with a detailed account of what actually happened, rejecting King Mitchy’s version. She wrote: “You need help fr! Thank God I blocked you a month ago for a different reason. This girl called me to invite me for her shop opening, then she said she wanted to see me, that she could come to my house. I said no, I was at Charis School. She insisted I send my account, I saw a credit alert of 200k, then I knew immediately it was business. I suggested coming to her instead since her shop is close by. When I got there, she told me the real reason she invited me was to know about my relationship. I was like, wtf, why? Which day did this start? Then she laughed, ‘Am I good?’ trying to get me to say something, and I told her I’m fine. I was so pissed because I couldn’t believe she invited me over to discuss my private life. King, we’re not even friends to start with. She then said she had a proposal for me — she wanted me to model for the day, dress like a waitress. I was like, ‘Ohh, I’ll think about it.’ She begged, saying don’t worry, she’ll pay well. Money aside, there are places you can’t find me! On my way leaving, she gave me 100 dollars to give to Charis. I was like, aww, thank you. Did I attend your opening? No! So I don’t understand the rubbish she posted on her story.” Elma’s response makes it clear she felt misrepresented and unfairly dragged into the feud, emphasizing that the visit was never about the personal matters King Mitchy suggested. This latest exchange adds another twist to the ongoing social media drama surrounding King Mitchy, which has continued to dominate conversations online.
