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.

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.

Onigbinde Was An Extraordinary Achiever -NFF

Wale busari60 minutes ago04 mins

The Nigeria Football Federation has described the passing of its former Technical Director and two-time Head Coach of the senior men national football team, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde, as “the exit of a great man who served Nigeria football wholeheartedly and was diligent and devoted to the development of the game.” NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, said the Modakeke high chief was “an extraordinary achiever who impacted positively not only on Nigeria football, but on the African and the global game at large.” He added: “Indeed, a big tree has fallen. Chief Onigbinde ate, drank, breathed, slept and lived football development. We will miss him greatly, as he was never tired of giving advice on the game’s development even at his ripe old age. We pray that God will grant him eternal rest, and also grant his family, relations, friends and the Nigeria football fraternity the fortitude to bear the big loss.” Respected globally for his deep knowledge of the game’s tactics and techniques, Onigbinde served as Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, and also as Technical Adviser of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation, in charge of the country’s youth teams. He was for many years a technical advisor of the Confederation of African Football, and worked on countless Technical Study Groups of both FIFA and CAF at major championships. He started his coaching career in the 1960s, and rose to national consciousness in 1977, when he led Water Corporation FC of Ibadan to the quarter-finals of the African Champion Clubs Cup competition. Seven years later, he led Ibadan giants, Shooting Stars FC, to the final of the same competition. A quintessential teacher, educator and instructor, Chief Onigbinde was the first indigenous coach to lead Nigeria’s senior men national team to win a medal (silver) in the Africa Cup of Nations, achieving the feat with a team of rookies and few experienced performers in Cote d’Ivoire in 1984. The very cerebral tactician led the Super Eagles to the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals in Korea/Japan, where a melange of little-known names and experienced campaigners lost narrowly to Argentina and Sweden, and drew with England. He became the first indigenous manager of the Super Eagles at football’s flagship tournament, after Dutchman Clemens Westerhof (1994) and Serbian Bora Milutinovic (1998). Afterwards, he served as instructor and educator for the NFF, CAF and FIFA, devoting his time to training the trainers, for which he accumulated accolades from far and near.

U.S. Embassy Warns Of Possible Terror Threat Targeting American Facilities And Schools In Nigeria

Wale busari2 hours ago03 mins

The United States Embassy in Nigeria has raised an alert over a potential terrorist threat that could target American facilities and schools linked to the U.S. in the country. In a security advisory published on its website on Monday, the embassy said the notice was meant to notify U.S. citizens living in or visiting Nigeria about possible dangers and urged them to be extra cautious around American diplomatic locations and institutions connected to the United States. According to the advisory, American nationals should remain vigilant when visiting the U.S. Embassy in Abuja, the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos, and schools associated with the United States. “The U.S. Embassy in Abuja informs U.S. citizens of a possible terrorist threat against U.S. facilities and U.S.-affiliated schools in Nigeria. “The Embassy recommends that U.S. citizens take additional precautions when travelling to the U.S. Embassy, the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos, and U.S.-affiliated schools, to include varying times and routes.” The mission further encouraged U.S. citizens to change their travel schedules and routes, avoid predictable routines, and ensure their mobile phones remain charged for emergency situations. “Be aware of your surroundings, keep a low profile, review your personal security plans, vary your regular routes, keep your cell phone charged in case of emergency, stay alert in public places, avoid crowds and demonstrations, and familiarise yourself with emergency exits when entering buildings.” The embassy did not disclose where the threat originated from. The advisory comes as the United States recently issued broader global security warnings following attacks carried out by Washington and Israel against Iran, which has retaliated with missile and drone strikes targeting countries aligned with the U.S. in the region.

Speaking at the gathering, Tinubu said his administration remains determined to rebuild Nigeria’s economy and create a stronger foundation for the country’s future generations. He explained that the policies introduced by his government helped prevent the nation from sliding into bankruptcy, even though they initially brought economic challenges for citizens. “At least, this government has saved Nigeria from going bankrupt. We are now shifting our focus to health, agriculture and education.” The president added that with the economy beginning to stabilise, the government is now directing attention toward sectors that can drive development, including agriculture, healthcare and education. Meanwhile, the Sultan of Sokoto and Chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, was represented at the event by the Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahya Abubakar. In his remarks, the traditional ruler pointed to the fact that Muslims and Christians are observing fasting around the same period as a reminder of the importance of unity and peaceful coexistence among Nigerians. He also expressed optimism that the Tinubu administration has the ability to address the security challenges affecting parts of the country, while pledging continued loyalty to the president.

Tonto Dikeh Opens Up About How Holy Spirit Saved Her From Depression and Suicide

Wale busari5 hours ago03 mins

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has fired back at critics following the reactions that trailed her recent deliverance video, insisting that she will not be discouraged from speaking about her faith. Responding to the backlash, the actress explained that the mission she believes God has given her is too significant to be derailed by online opinions. She said her attention remains fixed on Jesus rather than the criticism circulating on social media. “THE ASSIGNMENT GOD HAS PLACED UPON ME IS TOO IMPORTANT TO GET DISTRACTED. MY EYES ARE ON JESUS, AND HE NEEDS NO ONE TO DEFEND HIS NAME.” Dikeh, who described herself as Evangelist Tonto Dikeh, stated that she is willing to face public ridicule if that is what comes with openly declaring her faith. “I EVANGELIST TONTO DIKEH WOULD RATHER BE MOCKED, RIDICULED, would rather be mocked, ridiculed, or even slain than silence the name of the one who saved me. I REFUSE TO HIDE GOD TO PROTECT MY IMAGE BEFORE MERE MORTALS.” She maintained that the criticism has not shaken her resolve, adding that she would gladly accept mockery if it means remaining true to her beliefs. “IF IT COMES TO IT, I WILL WEAR MOCKERY LIKE PERFUME AND CARRY REPROACH LIKE A CROWN, BECAUSE HE IS WORTH IT ALL.” Concluding her message, the actress expressed love for both those who support her and those who oppose her, while suggesting that the battle she faces is spiritual rather than personal. “I LOVE YOU ALL(the good, the ugly and the bad) THE WORLD IS NOT FIGHTING ME, THE KINGDOM OF HELL IS, AND I UNDERSTAND THIS. SO NO HATE OVER HERE, WE BATTLE ON OUR KNEES IN PRAYER. THAT WHERE TRUE STRENGTH IS FORGED, AND TRUE VICTORIES ARE WON.”
