He revealed that in his childhood, he never saw his mother receive genuine affection or gestures from a man. “My biggest regret in life is that I should have loved harder. I should have found a way to love the right way,” he said. He continued, “I came from nothing, and I didn’t have a person or a male role model to show me how to treat a woman.

Seyi Law Declares Nigeria Is Safer Now Than 10 Years Ago

Seyi Law has ignited fresh controversy after insisting that Nigeria is more secure today than it was a decade ago. During a discussion on The Honest Bunch Podcast, the comedian openly backed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, arguing that the current administration has achieved meaningful progress in combating insecurity. When asked by co-host Daddy Freeze whether the country feels safer now compared to 10 years ago, Seyi Law responded confidently, “Nigeria is safer now than 10 years ago.” He claimed that more bandits have been taken out under Tinubu’s leadership than in previous governments, including during the time of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Referencing the period when bomb explosions were frequent during the height of insurgency attacks, he questioned critics about the last time Nigerians witnessed such large-scale blasts, suggesting that the situation has improved. However, activist Zekeri, who also featured on the podcast, strongly opposed that view. He argued that insecurity remains widespread, pointing to recent attacks in the Northeast, rising cases of kidnapping, and the killing of senior military officers. According to him, many Nigerians feel they are left to fend for themselves. The conversation later turned political, with Zekeri voicing support for Peter Obi, describing him as a leader whose finances can be accounted for “down to every kobo.” Seyi Law disagreed, maintaining that the country’s economy is gradually improving and that the reforms being implemented, though difficult, are necessary. The exchange has since sparked intense reactions online, with Nigerians divided over claims about security and the state of the nation under the current administration.

Simi Responds To Backlash Over Old Tweets, Reaffirms Stand Against Sexual Violence

Nigerian singer Simi has responded to online backlash after some of her decade-old tweets resurfaced, sparking debate on social media. The controversy comes amid ongoing discussions about sexual violence and accountability, especially after a viral video involving a TikTok user’s false rape claim drew widespread attention. Simi, who has long spoken out against sexual assault, had used her platform to urge men to hold peers accountable and to reject the normalization of sexual misconduct. Some users unearthed tweets from her X account from over ten years ago and interpreted them as inappropriate. Addressing the resurfaced posts on Sunday, Simi wrote: “I haven’t been on Twitter today – but someone brought a few of my old tweets to my attention and I can’t not address it.” She added context about her age and circumstances at the time: “14 years ago, I was 23, so I was definitely not a child. I’m not here to make excuses because I don’t have anything to make excuses for. What I can’t let anyone do is twist my story to fit false narratives.” Simi explained that she had been helping her mother run a daycare while pursuing her music career, and that the tweets reflected normal interactions with children rather than harmful intent. Reaffirming her stance against sexual violence, she said: “I have always spoken against rape and sexual assault even before you knew I existed. It’s not a costume I’m wearing, it’s who I am… I said stop raping women. I stand by it.” Her clarification has drawn mixed reactions, with supporters defending her and others continuing to question the intent of the old tweets. I haven't been on twitter today – but someone brought a few of my old tweets to my attention and I can't not address it. 14 years ago, I was 23, so I was definitely not a child. I'm not here to make excuses because I don't have anything to make excuses for. What I can't let… — Simi (@SympLySimi) February 22, 2026
