Wale busari5 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

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.

Iran’s World Cup Participation Doubtful

Fola Badmus4 minutes ago02 mins

The president of Iran’s soccer federation has said he does not know if the national team can play World Cup matches in the United States following the surprise U.S. and Israeli bombardment of his country. “What is certain is that after this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope,” Mehdi Taj told sports portal Varzesh3 as Iran traded strikes with Israel as part of a widening war prompted by the bombardment. The U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran continued for a second day on Sunday after the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threw the future of the Islamic Republic into uncertainty and raised the risk of regional instability. Iran has been drawn in Group G at the World Cup and is scheduled to play in Inglewood, California, against New Zealand on June 15 and Belgium on June 21 before finishing the first round against Egypt in Seattle on June 26. The U.S. is hosting the tournament with Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. Fans from Iran were already banned from entering the U.S. in the first iteration of the travel ban announced by the Trump administration. FIFA did not immediately reply to an email from The Associated Press over the current situation regarding Iran’s participation in the World Cup.

Dangote Refinery Raises Petrol Price To N875 Per Litre As Global Oil Prices Surge

Wale busari3 hours ago02 mins

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has increased the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) by N101, raising it from N774 to N875 per litre, fueling concerns of fresh fuel price surges across Nigeria. A senior official at the refinery confirmed the adjustment, attributing it to recent fluctuations in global crude oil prices. “Yes, the price has been reviewed. The new gantry price is now N875 per litre from N774. The review became necessary due to changes in global crude fundamentals and replacement costs,” the official said. Industry monitoring site petroleumprice.ng has already reflected the revised rate, signaling a shift in downstream pricing benchmarks. The increase follows the refinery’s suspension of petrol loading operations starting midnight on March 2, 2026, after international crude prices jumped past $80 per barrel. Reports indicate that PMS loading and the issuance of Proforma Invoices were temporarily halted, while diesel (Automotive Gas Oil) continued to be loaded. The move prompted several private depot operators nationwide to suspend petrol sales for the day. “Several depot owners suspended PMS sales because of the crude rally. The market is already factoring in risk premiums. Nobody wants to sell below replacement cost,” a downstream operator noted. The spike in global crude prices is linked to heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, raising fears of potential supply disruptions, particularly in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Sophia Momodu Files N1 Billion Lawsuit Against Davido Over Harassment And Defamation

Wale busari3 hours ago03 mins

Sophia Momodu’s lawyers have filed a N1 billion lawsuit against Davido, accusing the music star of harassment, threats, cyberbullying, and defamation following a heated exchange in court. The legal action stems from the February 12, 2026 hearing of the custody suit between Davido and Momodu at the High Court of Lagos. According to the pre-action notice, Davido allegedly became verbally abusive and aggressive toward Momodu, who appeared as counsel for the respondent. The court reportedly instructed him to apologise publicly, a directive he is said to have ignored. The notice further claims that in the days following the hearing, Davido’s affiliates shared Momodu’s photograph and identity on social media, exposing her to a flood of abusive messages and threats. Davido is also accused of posting defamatory statements on his verified Instagram and X accounts, directly tagging Momodu and making false claims about her professional conduct, which allegedly encouraged his followers to target her. Momodu’s legal team also stated that Davido publicly attacked people he mistakenly believed were her relatives, including gospel singer Tosin Bee, exposing innocent individuals to threats and ridicule. The lawyers said these actions have caused serious emotional distress, reputational damage, and well-founded fears for her safety and that of her family. To prevent formal court proceedings, the pre-action notice demands that Davido immediately stop all commentary about the case, issue a public retraction and apology on all verified platforms, direct his associates and followers to cease harassment, and pay N1 billion in compensation. If these demands are not met within seven days, Momodu intends to proceed with litigation at the High Court of Lagos.

Veteran Nollywood actress Joke Silva has shared insights into the benefits of marrying an older man, reflecting on her long-lasting marriage to iconic actor Olu Jacobs. Speaking on TVC’s Your View, Silva, 64, revisited her romance with Jacobs, which began in 1985 despite a 20-year age difference. She admitted that while Jacobs fell in love with her at first sight, her feelings developed more gradually. “Yes, we met on stage, and when we met on a movie set, everybody knew it was the great Olu Jacobs who was coming, except me. When he came, we got on very well, and it was after we started dating that I discovered his age because he looked so good. For him, it was love at first sight, but for me, it wasn’t. These older men allow you to get away with a lot of things,” she said. Jacobs was 44 when he married the then 24-year-old Silva. Almost 40 years later, the couple remains happily married with two children, making their relationship one of Nollywood’s most admired and enduring love stories.

Wife Of Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Dies From Injuries Sustained In Airstrike

Wale busari4 hours ago03 mins

The wife of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has reportedly passed away after suffering injuries in the same US-Israeli airstrike that claimed her husband’s life. According to Al Jazeera, Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh died two days after Khamenei was killed at his residence in Tehran. Iranian state media also reported that the strike resulted in the deaths of the couple’s daughter, grandchild, daughter-in-law and son-in-law. Bagherzadeh married Khamenei in 1965, and their union produced four sons and two daughters. Throughout the decades marked by political upheaval in Iran, she was said to have stood firmly behind her husband, though she largely remained out of public view and avoided any formal political role. In a rare 2011 interview with state media, she reflected on her role during her husband’s struggle against the Shah prior to the 1979 revolution. “I think my biggest role was to preserve a calm atmosphere in our home so that he could do his work in peace. “I would sometimes visit him in prison without telling him about our problems. In response to his questions about us, I would only give him good news. “Of course I was also active in distributing pamphlets, carrying messages and hiding documents, but I think [these actions] are not worth mentioning.” When asked whether her husband assisted with domestic responsibilities, she responded: “He neither currently has time [to help] nor do I expect him to do so. “One admirable trait he has which could be as an example for others, is that even, though he often comes home tired from work, he does his best to keep work-related problems away from home.” She was believed to have been 79 years old at the time of her death.
