Geh Geh Claims Wizkid Uses Smart Collaboration Tactics To Stay Relevant

Content creator Geh Geh has shared what he believes is Wizkid’s secret to remaining at the top of the music scene. In a video posted on his X page, Geh Geh alleged that Wizkid maintains his relevance through calculated collaborations and strategic alliances — often orchestrated through his longtime associate, DJ Tunez. He explained that when a new artist becomes the talk of the industry, Wizkid doesn’t reach out directly. Instead, he works through DJ Tunez, who sets up the collaboration. “If an artist is trending and everyone wants to feature them, Wizkid doesn’t go straight to them,” Geh Geh said. “He contacts DJ Tunez, and Tunez links him with the artist. If the song doesn’t perform well, people say it’s Tunez’s track. But if it becomes a hit, Wizkid gets the credit.” Only Wizkid understand this secret ☝️🏧 pic.twitter.com/Mq30w8uubx — GehGeh (@official_Gegeh) October 31, 2025

Court Refuses Sule Lamido’s Application To Stop PDP National Convention

The Federal High Court in Abuja has turned down an application by former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, seeking to restrain the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from going ahead with its forthcoming national convention. Lamido, through his lawyer, Jeph Njikonye (SAN), had filed an ex parte motion requesting the court to halt the convention pending the determination of a motion on notice filed alongside it. In his ruling on Friday, Justice Peter Lifu refused to grant the interim order and instead directed the PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) — listed as the first and second defendants — to appear and show cause why Lamido’s prayers should be granted. The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2299/2025, was instituted by Lamido as the sole plaintiff.

Adekunle Gold Says He Still Experiences Painful Sickle Cell Crises

Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has opened up about his lifelong battle with sickle cell disease, revealing that he continues to experience painful crises despite managing the condition for decades. In a recent video interview shared on social media, the 38-year-old artist recounted the challenges of living with the illness since childhood. “I still have crises,” Adekunle Gold said, explaining that he has been on medication since the age of five. “Unfortunately, both my parents have sickle cell, and that’s how I came into the world. I first understood what sickle cell was when I kept falling ill, with pains in my joints, legs, and sometimes my stomach. It’s really intense,” he added. He recalled one of his earliest memories of the disease. “The first time I noticed it was the night I fell sick and my dad wasn’t home. My mum carried me on her back, and we walked miles to the hospital. I must have been around five or seven. That was when the doctor told me I would need folic acid and B complex for the rest of my life. And that’s how it’s been ever since.” Adekunle Gold noted that while he still experiences crises occasionally, they are more manageable now thanks to careful self-care. “I still have crises once in a while, but not as severe as when I was a child. I’ve learned to take better care of myself, and I’m grateful to God for the resources to do so,” he said. The singer also used the interview to emphasize the importance of genotype testing. “My mission is to raise more awareness because many people don’t know about sickle cell, and relevant organisations aren’t doing enough,” he said. He explained, “Sickle cell is most prevalent in Nigeria and occurs when both parents are SS. That’s why knowing your genotype is crucial — to prevent bringing more children into the world who might suffer from this condition.”

Oyedele Says 5% Fuel Levy On Hold Until Naira Strengthens Or Oil Prices Fall

Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, has said the proposed 5% fuel surcharge will not be implemented until key economic conditions improve — particularly a stronger naira or a drop in global crude oil prices. Speaking at the Haulage and Logistics Magazine Conference & Exhibition in Lagos, Oyedele explained that while the policy aims to generate funds for road maintenance, enforcing it now would further burden Nigerians already struggling with rising costs. He recalled that the fuel surcharge was first introduced during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration to allocate part of fuel revenue to road repairs — 40% for federal roads and 60% for state and local government roads. “The idea is brilliant and already being implemented in more than 150 countries,” Oyedele said, expressing concern that most of Nigeria’s 200,000 kilometres of roads remain in poor condition. He noted that the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) had sought approval to begin collecting the levy following fuel subsidy removal but said the committee opposed it. “We said no – introducing such a tax now would be insensitive,” he stated. Oyedele explained that the surcharge remains in the draft tax law but would only take effect after an official order from the Minister of Finance. “For me, the right time will be when the naira strengthens or crude prices drop, so the surcharge won’t raise pump prices,” he added. He further assured that the committee’s ongoing tax reforms are focused on easing the burden on the haulage and logistics sector by scrapping multiple taxes, reducing operational costs, and improving efficiency. “We are not introducing new taxes; we are removing the many duplicated ones that frustrate transporters and increase prices,” he said. Oyedele added that under the new policy, transport and logistics businesses with annual turnover below N100 million will be exempt from company income tax, while eligible operators will enjoy VAT refunds and other tax incentives. He emphasized that the reforms will simplify Nigeria’s tax structure and ensure all revenues are collected transparently and shared fairly among all tiers of government.

Court Sacks Zamfara Lawmaker Abubakar Gummi For Defecting To APC

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed Hon. Abubakar Gummi as the member representing Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency in Zamfara State following his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a ruling delivered on Thursday, Justice Obiora Egwuatu declared Gummi’s seat vacant and prohibited the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, from recognising him as a serving lawmaker. The court also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a bye-election within 30 days to fill the vacant seat. The case, instituted by the PDP and its Zamfara State chairman, Jamilu Jibomagayaki, maintained that Gummi’s defection violated Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which stipulates that a legislator automatically forfeits their seat if they defect from the party that sponsored their election without a proven division in the party. Gummi, through his counsel, claimed his defection was triggered by internal wrangling within the PDP, which he said affected his ability to deliver effective representation to his constituents. Rejecting his argument, Justice Egwuatu ruled in favour of the PDP, stressing that elected officials must honour the mandate given to them under the platform that brought them to power. “It is legally and morally wrong for a politician to abandon the party under which they were elected and move to another without relinquishing the mandate,” he said. “Political prostitution must not be rewarded.” The court further directed Gummi to refund all salaries and allowances he had received from October 30, 2024, to the date of the judgment and submit proof of repayment within 30 days. Additionally, the judge awarded N500,000 in costs to the plaintiffs.

Alleged $1.043m Fraud: Supreme Court Strikes Out Ajudua’s Motion, Bail Hearing Resumes in Lower Court

The Supreme Court on Thursday, October 30, 2025 struck out a motion filed by socialite Fred Ajudua challenging its earlier judgment in the ongoing $1.043 million fraud case involving a Palestinian businessman, Zad Abu Zalaf. Ajudua, had before the apex court’s ruling, filed a notice to withdraw the motion. Following this development, trial proceedings resumed on Friday, October 31, 2025, before Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos. At the resumed hearing, Ajudua’s counsel, Olalekan Ojo, SAN, informed the court that the defence had withdrawn its application at the Supreme Court, and it has been struck out thereby clearing the way for the trial court to determine the pending bail application. Ajudua is facing trial for allegedly obtaining $1,043,000 (One Million, Forty-Three Thousand Dollars) from Abu Zalaf under false pretences. The case, which began in 2005 before Justice M.O. Obadina of the Lagos State High Court, suffered repeated delays as the defendant reportedly employed several legal technicalities to stall proceedings. The matter has since been reassigned multiple times, first to Justice J.E. Oyefeso and later to Justice M.A. Dada, before whom Ajudua was re-arraigned on June 4, 2018. During Friday’s proceedings, Ojo continued the cross-examination of the third prosecution witness, Afanda Bashir Emmanuel, an investigator with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). When questioned about the existence of a police investigation diary, Emmanuel told the court that he inherited the case and was not part of the initial investigation. Justice Dada consequently directed the prosecution to produce the records at the next adjourned date. The judge adjourned the case till November 20 and 21, 2025, for continuation of the cross-examination.
