  • Buy house for your father in Isale Eko, Asake’s family pleads

    Buy house for your father in Isale Eko, Asake’s family pleads

    The family of Afrobeats superstar Asake has finally spoken out regarding the ongoing controversy involving the singer and his father, Fatai Odunsi.

    The dispute gained public attention after a viral video showed Mr Odunsi appealing for financial assistance, citing serious health issues. He revealed that he has been battling a stroke since 2022 and alleged that Asake has ignored his calls despite his deteriorating condition.

    In response, Asake shared a cryptic message on TikTok, singing in Yoruba: “You can’t please everyone; you can’t please the world. But anything you are doing, just do it for God.

    “My own father wants to cajole me, and I have sent so much money to him. I have struggled for so many years, but they want to make life tire me.”

    Amid the ongoing drama, Asake’s family has now broken their silence in a video obtained by Vanguard on Saturday. The family not only addressed the allegations but also accused the singer of neglecting his alleged daughter, Zeenat, and her mother.

    They urged Asake to take responsibility for his father’s welfare and expressed their willingness to conduct a DNA test to determine the paternity of 11-year-old Zeenat.

    A woman featured in the video made a direct appeal to the singer, saying: “I’m begging you, Ololade Mr. Money. Even if Nigerians donate ₦10bn to this man, just ₦1m from Asake would make him happier.

    “Please take care of your father. If you don’t want to support him directly, buy him a house in Isale Eko where he can earn rent to survive.

    “In this Isale Eko, you can see house of ₦40m, ₦50m that you can build that this man can be collecting rent. Also, if you are in doubt about Zeenat, the mother has agreed to a DNA test.”

  • I don’t like Kendrick Lamar’s music – Kanye West

    I don’t like Kendrick Lamar’s music – Kanye West

    American rapper Kanye West has admitted that he is not a fan of Kendrick Lamar’s music, despite acknowledging his talent as a rapper.

    In a Friday night post on X, Kanye, also known as Ye, expressed his disappointment over Kendrick’s feature on Playboi Carti’s latest album, I Am Music.

    “I don’t like Kendrick Lamar’s music,” the controversial personality wrote. “He raps very good but I didn’t need to hear him on Carti’s album.”

    This comes after Kanye criticised another rapper, J. Cole, for apologising to Kendrick over a diss track.

    During his performance at the 2024 Dreamville Festival, J. Cole publicly expressed regret for dissing Kendrick in response to the latter’s shots at him and Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That”. J. Cole called his diss track the “lamest sht” he had ever done.

    However, Kanye argued that J. Cole made a mistake by apologising.

  • As data prices soar, Nigerians are looking for creative ways to maximise their data usage and reduce expenses.

    In today’s digital era, internet access has become indispensable for work, education, and social interactions.

    However, the recent surge in data tariffs is pushing many Nigerians to the brink, making connectivity an expensive necessity rather than an accessible resource.

    As data prices soar, Nigerians are looking for creative ways to maximize their data usage and reduce expenses.

    Here are ten practical hacks to help users spend less while staying connected

    10 ways to reduce data usage and cut costs
    Turn off background data usage

    Apps like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok consume data even when not in use. Restrict background data in phone settings to save data.

    Use data-saving browsers

    Browsers like Opera Mini and Google Chrome’s Lite mode compress web pages, helping users save up to 90% of their data.

    Download instead of streaming

    Downloading videos, music, and movies while on WiFi reduces excessive data consumption compared to streaming in real-time.

    Utilise offline features on apps

    Apps like Google Maps, Netflix, and Spotify offer offline features that allow users to save content and access it later without using data.

    Set data usage limits

    Android and iOS devices have built-in features to monitor and cap data consumption, preventing excessive usage.

    Disable auto-updates for apps

    Automatic updates can silently consume data. Adjust settings to update apps only when connected to WiFi.

    Use WiFi

    Whenever PossibleConnecting to public or home WiFi networks can significantly reduce reliance on mobile data.

    Reduce video quality on streaming Apps

    Lowering video resolution on platforms like YouTube and Netflix can save a substantial amount of data.

    Uninstall Data-Hungry Apps

    Some apps consume large amounts of data. Consider switching to lighter versions like Facebook Lite or YouTube Go.

    Manage Media Downloads in Messaging Apps

    Disabling auto-download for media files in WhatsApp and Telegram can prevent unnecessary data consumption.

  • Why I won’t sign up-and-coming artists – Tiwa Savage

    Why I won’t sign up-and-coming artists – Tiwa Savage

    Nigerian singer-songwriter and actress Tiwa Savage has revealed that she has no plans to sign upcoming artists, citing the stress and responsibility of managing musicians.

    The ‘Somebody’s Son singer, instead said, she wants to focus on building an ecosystem where African artists thrive independently.

    Speaking in an interview with Forbes Africa on Thursday, Savage explained that handling artists can be overwhelming, and she does not feel equipped for the role.

    “Everyone always asks me, ‘When will you sign an artiste?’ I don’t think I have the gift to sign another artiste, because artistes are stressful. I could just be sleeping, and then I will wake up and my artist is trending for something else,” she said.

    “But I do have the gift to help, which is why I am trying to do the music school, where you can go and later sign to a label that can actually help you,” Savage added.

    Savage also stated that African artists should focus on building their own thriving music industry instead of constantly seeking validation abroad.

    She said, “Why are we trying to break into another market? We should build our own to be the one others try to break into.

    “If we had the right infrastructure, affordable data, and investment, we would not have to chase validation elsewhere.”

    Having built a career spanning Afrobeats, jazz, and even film production with her 2024 debut as an executive producer on Water and Garri, Savage is thinking beyond music. “I want to go into my mogul era – billionaire Tiwa Savage,” she declared.

  • Five letters pass between Abigail and John Adams

    Five letters pass between Abigail and John Adams

    On March 7, 1777, Continental Congressman John Adams writes three letters to and receives two letters from his wife, Abigail. He is with Congress in Philadelphia, while she maintains their farm in Braintree, Massachusetts.

    The remarkable correspondence between Abigail and John Adams—numbering 1,160 letters in total—covered topics ranging from politics and military strategy to household economy and family health. Their mutual respect and adoration served as evidence that even in an age when women were unable to vote, there were nonetheless marriages in which wives and husbands were true intellectual and emotional equals.

    In the second letter John drafted to Abigail on March 7, he declared that Philadelphia had lost its vibrancy during Congress’ removal to Baltimore. “This City is a dull Place, in Comparason [sic] of what it was. More than one half the Inhabitants have removed to the Country, as it was their Wisdom to do—the Remainder are chiefly Quakers as dull as Beetles. From these neither good is to be expected nor Evil to be apprehended. They are a kind of neutral Tribe, or the Race of the insipids.”

    In the letters John received, which Abigail had written in February, she bemoaned not only the difficulty of correspondence during war, but also of the lack of military fervor demonstrated by the New Englanders around her. She wrote that she awaited greater patriotism, greater prosperity and future correspondence from her beloved husband to his devoted Portia. (Portia, Adams’ nickname for his wife was likely a reference to the intelligent and devoted heroine of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice.)

  • Kathryn Bigelow becomes the first female director to win an Oscar

    Kathryn Bigelow becomes the first female director to win an Oscar

    On March 7, 2010, Kathryn Bigelow becomes the first woman to win an Academy Award for best director, for her movie The Hurt Locker, about an American bomb squad that disables explosives in Iraq in 2004. Prior to Bigelow, only three women had been nominated for a best director Oscar: Lina Wertmueller for Seven Beauties (1975), Jane Campion for The Piano (1993) and Sofia Coppola for Lost in Translation (2003).

    Born in San Carlos, California, in 1951, Bigelow graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1972 and later earned a master’s degree in film from Columbia University. She made her feature film debut with The Loveless (1982), which she co-wrote and co-directed. The film, about a motorcycle gang, starred Willem Dafoe. The next movie Bigelow directed, Near Dark (1987), was a western-horror hybrid that gained a cult following. She went on to helm Blue Steel (1990), starring Jamie Lee Curtis as a police officer stalked by a killer, and Point Break (1991), about bank-robbing surfers, featuring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. Bigelow’s other directing credits include Strange Days (1995); The Weight of Water (2000); K-19: The Widowmaker (2002); Zero Dark Thirty (2012); and Detroit (2017). At the 82nd Academy Awards in March 2010, Bigelow’s fellow best-director nominees included James Cameron (Avatar), whom she was married to from 1989 to 1991, along with Lee Daniels (Precious), Jason Reitman (Up in the Air) and Quentin Tarantino (Inglorious Basterds). After making history by winning the directing prize, Bigelow said, “I hope I’m the first of many [women], and of course, I’d love to just think of myself as a filmmaker. And I long for the day when that modifier can be a moot point.” Her movie The Hurt Locker, which starred Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty, also won Oscars for best picture, film editing, sound editing, sound mixing and original screenplay.

    Spotify, an online streaming platform, has unveiled ‘Lent Destination’, a  hub designed to facilitate spiritual reflection and connection for Christians observing Lent.

    James Propa, Spotify’s Christian and Gospel Specialist for Sub-Saharan Africa, in a statement on Thursday, said the hub featured carefully curated worship playlists and Christian podcasts.

    Propa said these podcasts and playlists would simplify the discovery of inspiring spiritual content, perfectly aligning with the reflective and growth-oriented nature of the Lent.

    According to him, the new hub is important as the Lent is known as a time when many slow down to repent and focus on developing their spiritual relationship with God.

    “The Lenten season represents a significant time of spiritual focus for millions of Christians around the world.

    “We have created this destination to support listeners on their spiritual journey by making it easier to discover meaningful worship music and insightful Christian content that resonates with this season of reflection.

    “The key features of the Lent Destination are: Naija Worship, Praise and Worship, Be Lifted, WorshipNow and South African Worship.

    “There is the sermon content where users can access sermons from top-ranking pastors including Apostle Femi Lazarus, Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen and others, providing spiritual guidance throughout the Lent.

    “Also empowering Christian lifestyle podcasts offering practical advice on various topics, including content from popular podcasters Mpoomy Ledwaba, Megan Edwards, and many more,” he said.

    Propa noted that African Christians and gospel worship leaders had begun  to experience exponential growth on Spotify.

    He said :”Several artistes have recently surpassed the milestone of one million monthly listeners. Victor Thompson attracts 2.1 million monthly listeners.

    “Moses Bliss gets 1.2 million monthly listeners, Sunmisola Agbebi attracts 1 million monthly listeners while Lawrence Oyor gets 1.1 million monthly listeners.

    “These impressive streaming numbers reflect the growing global appreciation for African gospel music.

    “We are proud to create a dedicated space that celebrates these talented artistes while helping our users discover new worship music that can enrich their spiritual practice during Lent.”

    According to him, the Lent Destination joins Spotify’s existing Ramadan Hub, reflecting the platform’s commitment to supporting users across diverse faith traditions.

    “The Spotify Lent Destination is available globally starting today and will remain accessible throughout the Lenten season. Users can access the destination directly through the Spotify app or by visiting Spotify Lent Destination.
