Tems Says She Might Have Been An Accountant or Math Teacher If Not For Music

Singer Tems has revealed that if her music career hadn’t taken off, she would have likely pursued a path in mathematics or accounting. During a fan Q&A on X, Tems shared her love for numbers, saying she might have become an accountant or even a mathematics teacher. The discussion was sparked when a fan asked what she would be doing today had music not worked out. Tems left her job as a digital marketer in January 2018 to fully focus on her music. Since then, she has enjoyed remarkable success, releasing her debut single, “Mr Rebel,” in July 2018 and later featuring on Wizkid’s hit “Essence,” which reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Reflecting on her alternative career paths, Tems said, “I might have been an accountant or a mathematics teacher,” underscoring her strong affinity for numbers alongside her musical talent.

Wike’s PDP Faction Heads to Court to Void Ibadan Convention

A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory has taken fresh legal action, asking the Federal High Court in Abuja to invalidate the national convention held in Ibadan by the camp aligned with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde. In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/250/2025, the plaintiffs — the PDP, Acting National Chairman Mohammed Abdulrahman, and National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu — are urging the court to declare the November 15–16 Ibadan convention “null, void and of no effect.” They also want the Independent National Electoral Commission barred from recognising any decisions or officers produced by the exercise. This latest lawsuit follows a series of earlier challenges by aggrieved members who argued that proceeding with the convention violated the PDP constitution, the Electoral Act, and several court rulings. Among those who had previously gone to court were Imo PDP Chairman Austin Nwachukwu, Abia PDP Chairman Amah Abraham Nnanna, and South-South PDP Secretary Turnah Alabh George. Ahead of the event, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court restrained INEC from recognising the convention, while Justice Peter Lifu ruled that the exercise could not hold until former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido — who was barred from purchasing a nomination form — was allowed to participate. However, the Makinde-led faction secured a counter-order from Justice A. L. Akintola of the Oyo State High Court, Ibadan, permitting the convention to go ahead. Despite the conflicting judicial positions, the Ibadan convention proceeded under tight security. During the event, Anyanwu, Wike, former Ekiti Governor Ayo Fayose, and eight others were expelled from the party. In the new suit dated November 21, the plaintiffs listed 18 defendants, including INEC, the Inspector-General of Police, the FCT Commissioner of Police, the State Security Service, and several PDP officials. They argue the convention was held “in flagrant disregard” of three existing Federal High Court orders and are seeking to stop the recognition of the newly elected officers, regain control of party offices at Wadata Plaza and Legacy House, and compel security agencies to enforce previous judgments. They also want the court to determine whether any authority can legally acknowledge the Ibadan convention given the Constitution, the Electoral Act, and the PDP constitution. The matter is yet to be assigned to a judge, and no date has been fixed for hearing.

Tems Reveals She Won’t Return To Uganda Following 2020 Arrest

Nigerian singer Tems has finally addressed why she has no plans to return to Uganda, revisiting the experience that left her deeply shaken. During a Q&A session on social media, a fan asked: “What’s the lore behind you not coming to Uganda? #AskTems.” Tems responded without saying a word — instead, she posted her old court photo from Uganda, the same image used in news reports during her arrest, with the headline: “Nigerian singer Tems appearing before court in Uganda.” Her reply immediately reminded fans of the 2020 incident in Kampala, where she and Omah Lay were arrested after performing at a concert during the COVID-19 restrictions. The duo were accused of violating public health guidelines and were taken into custody. Tems later spent two nights in a Ugandan prison, an experience she once described as frightening and traumatic. That ordeal, she hinted with the photo, is the reason she has stayed away from the country ever since.

Atiku’s Media Aide Accuses Tinubu of Favoritism Towards Christians, Sparks Religious Backlash

Atiku Abubakar Questions FG: “Why Negotiate With Terrorists Instead of Arresting Them?” Over Kebbi Schoolgirls’ Release

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised the Federal Government over the recent release of abducted schoolgirls in Kebbi State, arguing that their freedom should not be celebrated as an achievement but rather seen as a reflection of Nigeria’s deteriorating security situation. In a statement issued by his media office on Wednesday, Atiku described the girls’ return as “not a trophy moment” but “a damning reminder that terrorists now operate freely, negotiate openly, and dictate terms while this administration issues press statements to save face.” The statement came in response to remarks by Presidential Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who, in an interview on Arise News TV on Monday, credited the Department of State Services (DSS) and the military for tracking the kidnappers in real time and establishing contact to secure the girls’ release without paying ransom. Atiku dismissed this account as “a shameful attempt to whitewash a national tragedy and dress up government incompetence as heroism.” He questioned, “If, as Onanuga claims, the DSS and the military could ‘track’ the kidnappers in real time and ‘made contact’ with them, then the question is simple: Why were these criminals not arrested, neutralised, or dismantled on the spot? Why is the government boasting about talking to terrorists instead of eliminating them? Why is kidnapping now reduced to a routine phone call between criminals and state officials?” He added that the administration’s explanation implies that “terrorists and bandits have become an alternative government, negotiating, collecting ransom, and walking away untouched, while the presidency celebrates their compliance.” Atiku further stressed, “No serious nation applauds itself for negotiating with terrorists it claims to have under surveillance. No responsible government congratulates itself for allowing abductors to walk back into the forests to kidnap again.” The abduction occurred on November 17, when armed assailants stormed Government Girls’ Secondary School in Maga, Kebbi State, killing a staff member and abducting 25 students from their dormitory.

Davido’s baby mama, Sophia Momodu, has emphasized her role as the primary caregiver for their daughter, Imade Adeleke, in a detailed social media post. She wrote, “It’s important to note that my daughter is a happy, healthy, and well-rounded child. Anyone who has met her in person can attest to this.” Sophia explained that she has been the child’s primary caregiver for the past five years, handling all her expenses except school fees, which her paternal grandfather has kindly covered for the past three years. She added, “I have not received child support from her father, but our child knows no lack. She is growing in a healthy environment and is very happy.” To further highlight her commitment, Sophia shared, “I recently waived all outstanding child support payments and relinquished future claims. This decision has left me fully responsible for our child’s financial needs, which is a welcomed development by both parties.” She also stressed the importance of maintaining a relationship with both parents, saying, “I have never denied her father access or a relationship. Instead, I prioritize her safety and structured schedules.” Sophia concluded by urging the public to respect her daughter’s privacy: “Moving forward, I kindly request that my innocent child be left out of false narratives and stories. Let’s channel our energy towards things that are more profitable and healthy.” Her statement underscores her dedication as Imade’s primary caregiver and protector.

The Lagos State Police Command has ordered the suspension of the Egungun festival in Oregun, originally scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
