Fido Apologizes For Past Mistakes, Promises Growth And Better Music

Wale busari04 mins

Fido has issued a heartfelt apology for past mistakes, acknowledging the pressures of fame and vowing to grow both personally and professionally. In a candid message to his followers, he admitted: “There’s no easy way to write this, so I’ll just say it plainly. I messed up. Stardom came into my life quickly. One minute I was dreaming about it, the next minute I was living it. And while the world was watching me grow, I was still trying to understand who I was inside that growth. Along the way, I made mistakes. I said things that should never have been said. I allowed ego, excitement, and inexperience to influence some of my decisions. That’s not who I want to be. And it’s not who I’m becoming.” Fido extended his apology to his fans and the wider Afrobeats community: “To my fans, the ones who stream the music, defend me, pray for me, and believe in me, I am sorry. To the global Afrobeats community, the legends and godfathers who opened these doors before me, my colleagues and everyone who felt disappointed by my words or actions, I apologise. Truly.” Reflecting on his journey, he said: “There are moments in life when you either double down on pride or you humble yourself and grow. I chose to step back. I chose to listen. I chose to reflect. It takes strength to admit you were wrong. It takes maturity to retrace your steps. I’m doing both.” He assured fans that the lessons he has learned will influence his next chapter: “I am still learning. I am still evolving. But I promise you this, I have taken these lessons seriously. The man walking into this next chapter is more grounded, more aware, and more respectful of the platform he’s been given. The music you’re about to hear will come from a deeper place. A more honest place. A more grateful place.” Fido also expressed gratitude to those who held him accountable rather than cancelling him, while acknowledging those who stepped away: “I understand. This is growth. This is maturity. This is me doing better. It’s game time again.” The apology highlights Fido’s commitment to personal growth, humility, and a renewed focus on delivering music from a place of honesty and gratitude. There’s no easy way to write this, so I’ll just say it plainly. I messed up. Stardom came into my life quickly. One minute I was dreaming about it, the next minute I was living it. And while the world was watching me grow, I was still trying to understand who I was inside that… pic.twitter.com/KDGcaE7rzT — Fido (@MrFidooooo) February 23, 2026

Pastor Folu Adeboye Appointed Chancellor Of Caleb University After Honorary Doctorate

Wale busari03 mins

Pastor Folu Adeboye has been appointed Chancellor of Caleb University, marking a new leadership role for the cleric at the Lagos-based institution. The announcement followed her conferment of an honorary Doctor of Humanity (Honoris Causa) at the university’s 15th convocation ceremony. In a statement issued on Monday by the institution’s Information, Media and Publication Specialist, Olawale Adekoya, the university stated that as Chancellor, she will oversee convocations, confer degrees on graduating students and function as the ceremonial head of the school. Vice-Chancellor Prof. Olalekan Asikhia described the development as a defining moment for the university’s progress and identity. “The conferment and subsequent appointment of the globally revered cleric, fondly known as Mummy G.O., signal what observers have described as ‘a convergence of scholarship and sanctity’ — a rare alignment of intellectual excellence and spiritual authority at the summit of university governance.” Asikhia added that the institution believes her wealth of experience will help reinforce its guiding principles and future direction. “For decades, she has functioned not merely as consort to a global spiritual leader, but as an institutional builder, a counsellor of nations, and a matriarch whose disciplined grace has fortified one of the world’s largest Christian movements.” The Registrar, Mr. Mayokun Olumeru, also welcomed the appointment, saying the university considers it a privilege to have her serve in the role and describing her as “a guardian of values, and a steady moral compass in turbulent times.” Pastor Adeboye is a senior figure in the Redeemed Christian Church of God and the wife of its General Overseer, Enoch Adeboye. She is widely known for her work in education advocacy, youth mentorship and family counselling. A total of 1,924 students graduated during the convocation ceremony, including 96 First Class graduates and 22 recipients of doctoral degrees.

El-Rufai Remains In ICPC Custody As Bail Request Stalls After Eight Days

Wale busari03 mins

The continued detention of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has sparked fresh concern, as the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has not approved his bail more than a week after he was taken into custody. According to a statement released on Monday by his media adviser, Muyiwa Adekeye, El-Rufai has been in detention since February 16, 2026, when he responded to an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. He was reportedly held by the EFCC until the evening of February 18 before being transferred to the ICPC. Adekeye disclosed that El-Rufai’s legal team filed a formal bail request with the ICPC on February 19, but no response has been received. He also noted that the lawyers have not been shown any remand order authorising his prolonged detention, despite the constitutional provision that limits detention without charge to 48 hours. The former governor is expected in court this week over two separate matters. A fundamental rights enforcement suit filed against the Federal Government, the ICPC, the EFCC and the Department of State Services is set for hearing on February 25 at the Federal Capital Territory High Court. The suit seeks an order granting him bail. On the same date, he is also scheduled to be arraigned on charges said to have been filed by the DSS. Providing further details, Adekeye said operatives of the ICPC searched El-Rufai’s residence on Aso Drive on February 19. His lawyer, Ubong Akpan, criticised the search, describing the warrant as flawed and the operation unlawful. El-Rufai has since approached the Federal High Court, asking the court to nullify the warrant on grounds including lack of probable cause, excessive scope and drafting errors. The case names the ICPC, the Chief Magistrate of the FCT, the Inspector-General of Police and the Attorney-General of the Federation as respondents. El-Rufai is also seeking an order preventing authorities from using any materials seized during the search in any proceedings against him.

Wale busari03 mins

Bola Tinubu has reiterated that the proposed establishment of state police remains a priority for his administration, assuring Nigerians that the plan will not be put on hold. He gave the assurance on Monday while hosting governors and top government officials at an interfaith Iftar held at the Presidential Banquet Hall in Abuja to mark the beginning of the 2026 Ramadan fast. Speaking on the persistent security challenges across the country, the President maintained that decentralising policing is essential and promised that his earlier commitment would be fulfilled. “What I promise you will not be postponed. We will establish state police to combat insecurity.” Tinubu also struck an optimistic tone on the economy, insisting that the nation has overcome a turbulent period. “We are out of the woods. We are out of the dark tunnel of uncertainty. The economy is showing up.” During his remarks, he addressed the political situation in Kano State and appealed to Abba Kabir Yusuf to handle matters with caution and compassion. “I’m glad I see Abba from Kano, even though the cap is red, it’s not different from APC… I saw the crisis on TVC News. Please temper justice with mercy.” The President further encouraged members of the All Progressives Congress to create room for younger voices within the party structure. “I will advise those in the same party with me to please bear in mind that those little ones too, they cry. Tolerate everybody… Let’s see the young ones breathe too.” He also commended Babagana Zulum for his Ramadan outreach programmes, praising the governor’s support initiatives for Muslims and Christians as “a very, very good spirit.”

Nkechi Blessing Sunday Threatens To Break Phones Over Secret Recordings Of Her Relationship

Wale busari05 mins

Nkechi Blessing Sunday has openly addressed fans and social media users, urging them to stop secretly filming her and her partner whenever they spot them in public. The actress explained that although she is comfortable with the fame that comes with her career, she prefers to keep her current relationship private. According to her, both she and her partner are happy staying away from online attention and unnecessary publicity. Recounting a recent incident, she said she was out at a restaurant with her partner when a woman allegedly began recording them without their knowledge. A waitress reportedly alerted her to what was happening, prompting her to approach the lady directly. “Public service announcement. And I really do not want to come off as being rude, arrogant, or proud. I am sure a lot of you remember me saying I am in a very happy relationship now, but I seriously do not want it anywhere on the internet, Instagram, social media in general, because we are enjoying our relationship off the media. And then tell me why last week I was in a restaurant with my man and then There was this lady recording us secretly. One of the waitress called my attention to it. And then I walked up to her And then I said politely, ma’am, I find it very disrespectful of you making videos of I and my man without our consent. It doesn’t make sense. Yes, I am a public figure. I am in your faces. If you wanted a picture or a video, walk up to me. I don’t bite. But you trying to take an unsolicited picture and videos of me and my man, I wouldn’t take that.” She stressed that while she understands public interest in her life, taking photos or videos without permission crosses the line. The movie star noted that her partner is not ashamed to be seen with her but simply does not want to be thrust into the spotlight or dragged into online conversations. “This is somebody that I don’t want him to be on the Internet. He’s not ashamed to go out with me. So why do you think it is you that is supposed to put our pictures and our videos out there? Now, I am saying this categorically. The next time you see I and my man outside, please keep your phones. Because guess what? I will break it. Can you see how soft I said that? Because I know my man will fight. This man does not want to be out there. Yes. be known does that make sense like he doesn’t want to just be in the news for the wrong reasons and if eventually i want to bring him to the internet i would do so at my own time.” She maintained that if she ever decides to unveil her partner publicly, it will happen on her own terms and not through unsolicited recordings shared online. Public service announcement 📣 📣📣If you see me and my man out there please keep your phones. Because guess what I will break it ,My man does not want his face out there I’m in a very happy relationship now _____Nkechi Blessing Sunday pic.twitter.com/6pPqCtjDhP — KOMISI HQ (@HEYBIDEMI) February 22, 2026
