Wale busari02 mins

Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr has revealed her personal “Big 3” of the genre, naming Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, and Rema as the artistes she considers the most influential. The singer shared her picks during a recent interview with Hot 97 FM, when asked to identify the Afrobeats acts that have had the biggest impact on shaping the sound and global reach of the music. “My Afrobeats Big 3 would be Tiwa Savage, Wizkid and Rema. My solid Big 3,” she stated. Starr explained that her choices reflect the unique contributions each artist has made to the evolution of Afrobeats. She praised Tiwa Savage as a pioneering female figure whose success has paved the way for women in an industry traditionally dominated by men. Her comments add a fresh perspective to the ongoing debate over the genre’s so-called “Big 3.” For years, fans and industry watchers have typically used the term to refer to Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy, citing their commercial dominance and global influence.

Court Warns Omoyele Sowore Over Absence, Threatens Bail Revocation And Bench Warrant

Wale busari03 mins

Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja has cautioned Omoyele Sowore, politician and online publisher, that his bail could be revoked if he fails to appear at the next hearing in his ongoing cybercrime trial. The judge also warned that a bench warrant could be issued to ensure Sowore is brought to court. The warning followed submissions by the prosecution, led by Akinlolu Kehinde (SAN), who said Sowore deliberately missed Thursday’s court session despite being properly served with a hearing notice through his lawyers. Sowore is facing charges from the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegedly making false claims against President Bola Tinubu on X and Facebook, describing him as a criminal. Neither Sowore nor his team of about 30 lawyers attended Thursday’s proceedings. Kehinde noted that the day’s business was scheduled for the defence to complete its cross-examination of the first prosecution witness. He stressed that Sowore had no valid reason for his absence and had not provided any explanation. Citing Sections 352(1) and (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015, the prosecution requested that the court revoke Sowore’s bail and issue a bench warrant for his immediate production. In his ruling, Justice Umar confirmed that Sowore had been properly served and acknowledged his consistent attendance in previous hearings since the case began late last year. He observed that earlier adjournments had been requested by both parties. The judge ultimately granted Sowore the benefit of the doubt for his first absence but made it clear that repeated non-appearance could lead to bail revocation and immediate enforcement measures.

House of Representatives Urges FG To Lift Blanket Ban On Benin and Togo Degrees

Wale busari02 mins

The House of Representatives has called on the Federal Government to lift the blanket ban on degree certificates obtained from the Republic of Benin and Togo. The call came after the House adopted a report from the Committee on Public Petitions during plenary on Wednesday. Chairman of the committee, Laori Kwamoti, said the report was prepared following a petition submitted by Sovereignty Legal Practitioners on behalf of stakeholders in the education sector. The petition challenged the government’s decision to invalidate degrees from institutions in the two West African countries amid concerns over academic fraud. The committee recommended that the government reverse the blanket ban, noting that it could unfairly penalize graduates who legitimately earned their qualifications. Instead, lawmakers suggested implementing a case-by-case verification process to address proven instances of fraud rather than applying a general sanction to all certificates. The House further urged the Federal Ministry of Education to work closely with education authorities in Benin and Togo to improve verification systems, prevent academic fraud, and ensure proper authentication of foreign qualifications. In January 2024, the Federal Government had suspended the accreditation and evaluation of degree certificates from Benin and Togo following an undercover investigation that exposed widespread certificate racketeering.

Wale busari02 mins

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Angel Smith has announced that her white wedding with her female partner is just around the corner. The couple first made headlines a few weeks ago when reports of their upcoming marriage surfaced, along with images of a wedding ring and a marriage certificate. Angel had stayed silent at the time but recently showcased her ring on social media. She later shared a post featuring their wedding invitation card, which included the hashtag #Tunmisangel2026 and asked guests to dress in black for the celebration. Angel also addressed critics in a collage post, responding firmly to negative remarks. One person questioned her choice of wedding color, and she shot back, asking if they were even invited. Another critic suggested that no man was “good enough” for her, prompting Angel to respond angrily, telling them to “shut up.” Fans will recall that a few years ago, Angel stirred pregnancy rumours while dating fellow reality star Soma after posting a pregnancy emoji on Instagram, leading to congratulatory messages and speculation about Soma being the father. The upcoming wedding has reignited public interest in Angel’s personal life, as fans eagerly await the celebration of her love.
