Kcee Reveals Why He Refused To Sign Flavour Years Ago Amid Feud Speculations

Wale busari03 mins

Kcee has opened up on the long-standing tension between him and Flavour, clarifying that their history goes back to the early days of Flavour’s career when a recording deal was on the table. According to the Limpopo singer, Flavour was introduced to him by music executive Soso Soberekon for a possible signing, but he turned the offer down because he did not see enough potential at the time. He suggested that the recent shade thrown at him by the highlife star may be rooted in how far he has risen against expectations. “When some people had written you off, hoping that you would be stagnant, and you work hard and get to a level they don’t expect you to reach, that was what happened.” Kcee also made it clear that he never had any personal issues with Flavour, adding that at the time of their first meeting, he was already established in the industry. “I came into the music industry before Flavour. Soso Soberekon brought him to me years ago to sign to my record label. I was already driving exotic cars and balling before he came to Lagos. I told Soso I can’t sign Flavour because I didn’t see potentials in him at that time. It wasn’t because I have something against him.” Despite the lingering tension, Kcee insists he still cannot pinpoint the real source of the bad blood. “Till now, I don’t understand the reason for his beef with me, especially that incident where he alleged that someone was coping him.” He added that many colleagues have often misjudged him due to his quiet nature. “A lot of my colleagues underrate my talent and my humility also contributed to that. Because I don’t brag. I don’t need it. But as I always say, time will always prove them wrong. My work always prove every doubter wrong.” Kcee concluded by saying that time is already exposing the truth, as some who once doubted him have since returned to apologise and admit their mistakes.

Tinubu Commends Nigerian Military For Foiling Coup Attempt In Benin

Wale busari04 mins

President Bola Tinubu has applauded the Nigerian Armed Forces for their prompt intervention in the Republic of Benin after an attempted military takeover in the neighbouring country. The President’s commendation followed the successful operation by Beninese loyalist forces, backed by Nigerian troops and air support, which led to the recovery of the national television station earlier seized by soldiers who claimed they had overthrown President Patrice Talon. In a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, it was revealed that the Beninese government formally sought Nigeria’s military assistance through two separate communications. This came after coup plotters, allegedly led by Col. Pascal Tigri, announced the suspension of democratic institutions. Following the request, Tinubu ordered the deployment of Nigerian Air Force fighter jets to secure Benin’s airspace and support operations to flush out the mutineers from strategic locations, including the national broadcaster and a military camp. Benin also requested the deployment of Nigerian surveillance aircraft and ground troops, “strictly for missions approved by the Beninese Command authority in support of the protection of constitutional institutions and the containment of armed groups.” Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, confirmed that all the requests were fully carried out and that Nigerian troops had already been deployed on the ground. “Ours is to comply with the order of the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, President Tinubu.” Tinubu, who serves as Chairman of ECOWAS, said the intervention was in line with the regional bloc’s Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance. “Today, the Nigerian armed forces stood gallantly as a defender and protector of constitutional order in the Republic of Benin on the invitation of the government. Our armed forces acted within the ambit of the ECOWAS Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance. “They have helped stabilise a neighbouring country and have made us proud of their commitment to sustaining our democratic values and ideals since 1999. Nigeria stands firmly with the government and people of the Republic of Benin.” The government of Benin later confirmed that the coup attempt had been neutralised and that full control had been restored.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has ordered the immediate deployment of its standby force to the Republic of Benin, following consultations among the region’s heads of state and government. The move is in line with ECOWAS protocols, particularly Article 25(e) of the 1999 protocol on conflict prevention, management, resolution, peacekeeping, and security. A statement released in Abuja on Sunday said the decision followed deliberations by the mediation and security council. “The chair of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government has ordered the deployment of elements of the ECOWAS standby force to the Republic of Benin with immediate effect,” the commission said. The regional force will include troops from Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Côte d’Ivoire, and Ghana, tasked with supporting the Benin government in maintaining peace, stability, and security.

Wale busari02 mins

The Federal Government has reportedly secured the release of 100 schoolchildren abducted from St. Mary’s Private Catholic Primary and Secondary School in Papiri, Agwara Local Government Area, Niger State. The school came under attack by bandits on 21 November 2025, when gunmen on motorbikes stormed the dormitories around 2:00 a.m., holding the campus for three hours. A total of 315 people—303 students and 12 teachers—were abducted during the raid. In the aftermath, 50 pupils managed to escape on the first day and were quickly reunited with their families, while 265 individuals, including 253 students and all 12 teachers, remained in captivity. Security forces, alongside community hunters, were deployed to comb nearby forests for the abducted students and staff. The Federal Government also imposed a 24-hour security cordon and launched aerial surveillance across parts of Kwara, Kebbi, and Niger States. President Bola Tinubu cancelled planned international engagements to oversee the response, and authorities ordered the indefinite closure of all schools in Niger State, along with several federal institutions in high-risk regions.

Wale busari03 mins

Akwa Ibom Governor Pastor Umo Eno has unveiled a transformative support package for gospel singer Chris Vic, who rose to national prominence after finishing third in the De9ja Spirit Talent Hunt. In a statement shared on X on Sunday, Governor Eno outlined plans to provide the singer with a prime plot of land in Uyo, the state capital, where a four-bedroom apartment will be constructed. The Certificate of Occupancy is expected to be officially handed over next week. Beyond housing, the governor announced ₦100 million to establish a fully equipped music studio for Chris Vic, stressing that the funding is separate from the cost of the land and apartment. Additionally, the singer will receive a monthly allowance of ₦1 million throughout Governor Eno’s tenure. “I have directed the Commissioner for Lands to allocate a plot of land in Uyo to Chris Vic, and I will sign the Certificate of Occupancy next week. We will also build him a four-bedroom flat and commit ₦100 million to set up his music studio. This is separate from the cost of the land and the house. In addition, as long as I remain Governor, he will receive a monthly allowance of ₦1 million,” the governor said. Governor Eno described the initiative as a reflection of both divine faithfulness and human resilience. He said Chris Vic’s journey is a powerful reminder that hope and praise can thrive even in adversity, and reassured persons with disabilities that his administration remains committed to their welfare. Chris Vic, who lost his eyesight at five following a failed glaucoma surgery, shared in a recent interview that music became both his refuge and calling, inspiring him to develop the talent he believes was divinely given.

Mohamed Salah Admits Liverpool Relationship Has Collapsed As Future Remains Uncertain

Wale busari03 mins

Mohamed Salah has lifted the lid on deepening tension at Liverpool, admitting he now feels isolated at the club and has lost all connection with head coach Arne Slot. The Egyptian forward was again left watching from the sidelines during Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United, marking the third match in a row he has started on the bench. For a player who has delivered 250 goals in 420 appearances, the situation has become increasingly difficult to accept. After the match, Salah spoke with raw emotion about how events have unfolded. “I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame. I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager, and all of a sudden we don’t have any relationship. I don’t know why but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club. It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling.” Despite the frustration, the Liverpool icon made it clear his love for the club remains strong. “This club, I will always support it. My kids will always support it. I love the club so much and I always will,” he added. Still, he insisted the current situation is unacceptable. “It is not acceptable to me, to be fair. I don’t get it. It’s like I’m being thrown more under the bus. I don’t think I’m the problem. I have done so much for this club.” Salah also addressed the idea that he must constantly prove himself to earn game time. “I don’t have to go every day fighting for my position because I earned it. I am not bigger than anyone but I earned my position. It’s football. It is what it is.” With the Africa Cup of Nations approaching on December 15, the 31-year-old revealed that his future at Anfield is now uncertain, even though he only signed a new two-year deal with the club back in April.

Benin Coup Plot Collapses As Presidency Confirms Talon’s Safety And Army Restores Order

Wale busari05 mins

Benin was thrown into confusion on Sunday after a group of soldiers briefly took over the national television station and announced what they described as a successful military takeover of government. The soldiers identified themselves as members of a newly formed Military Committee for Refoundation and were said to be led by Lieutenant Colonel Pascal Tigri. During the broadcast, Tigri declared himself “chairman of the military re-establishment committee” and claimed that President Patrice Talon had been removed from office and that all state institutions had been dissolved. Reports from local outlet TchadOne indicated that the group had earlier attacked the president’s residence in the Le Guézo area before moving to seize control of the television station. However, the Benin presidency quickly dismissed the claims and confirmed that President Talon was not harmed. Officials assured citizens that loyal forces were already restoring order across the capital. “This is a small group of people who only control the television. The regular army is regaining control. The city and the country are completely secure.” The statement made it clear that the attempted takeover did not have the backing of the wider armed forces. The incident comes amid a wider pattern of military interventions that have unsettled West Africa in recent years. In November 2025, Guinea-Bissau’s political process collapsed after generals seized power on the eve of a presidential election, detaining President Umaro Sissoco Embaló and suspending the polls. General Horta Inta-A was later installed to lead a one-year transition, a move that drew condemnation from ECOWAS. Opposition candidate Fernando Dias da Costa fled to Nigeria over safety concerns. Mali has remained under military rule since the 2020 and 2021 coups that brought Colonel Assimi Goïta to power. In August 2025, the junta announced it had uncovered another coup plot, leading to the arrest of two generals and a French national. Political parties remain banned, elections have been pushed back indefinitely, and insecurity linked to jihadist groups continues to worsen. Burkina Faso, under Captain Ibrahim Traoré since the 2022 coup, also faced an attempted overthrow in April 2025. Authorities accused senior officers of conspiring with terrorist groups, triggering security crackdowns in Ouagadougou. Elections have been postponed, and the junta has unveiled controversial reforms, including plans to restore the death penalty for treason and terrorism. Niger’s military takeover in July 2023 remains another defining case. President Mohamed Bazoum was detained by his own presidential guard, paving the way for General Abdourahamane Tchiani to assume power with military backing. Despite regional sanctions and strained relations with Western partners, the country has remained under military rule, with public demonstrations reflecting deep divisions over the junta and foreign influence. The failed move in Benin now adds to the growing list of coup attempts and military interventions reshaping the political landscape of the region.
