Nigerians Are Celebrating Devils in Entertainment There’s something deeply troubling happening in our society

Nigerians Are Celebrating Devils in Entertainment There’s something deeply troubling happening in our society—and many of us have become so used to it that we no longer question it.

Nigerians are celebrating devils in entertainment.

Not “devils” in the literal religious sense alone, but in the way we now glorify content, lifestyles, and messages that once would have been rejected without debate.

Today, the more controversial, immoral, or shocking a person is, the more attention they get.

The more they promote negativity, vulgarity, or destructive values, the more we elevate them.And we call it entertainment.

When Fame Rewards the Wrong Things We’ve created a system where:Bad behavior trends faster than good character Noise is louder than talent Controversy brings more money than creativity People no longer ask, “Is this right?”They ask, “Is this trending?”

Social Media Made It Worse Platforms meant to connect and inspire have turned into stages where anything goes—as long as it brings views.And we, the audience, are not innocent.Every like, share, and comment is a vote.Every trend we push is a message about what we value.

Real-Life Reflection You see it everywhere:Artists gaining fame for promoting chaos instead of creativity Influencers building brands on indecency instead of impact Young people copying what they see because “that’s what works”Slowly, values are being replaced with vibes.And the dangerous part?We’re normalizing it.

The Bigger Question What happens when a generation grows up believing that:

Fame is more important than character Attention is more valuable than integrity influence matters more than truth We may laugh now, scroll past it, and even celebrate it—but the long-term effect is deeper than we think.

Final Thought not everything that entertains is harmless.Not everyone we celebrate deserves a platform.

Until we start rewarding substance over noise,we will keep celebrating devils… while true talent and positive voices suffer in silence

“Musicians, Dancers, Content Creators – Officially Taxed!”

If you’re a musician, actor, dancer, or content creator in Liberia, brace yourself…

the Liberia National Transcription Authority (LNTA) just dropped a bomb:

Some are calling it a way to support the creative industry. Others? A straight-up tax on passion, hustle, and dreams. Imagine grinding day and night to build your talent, only to pay just to exist creatively.💡

What do you think? Is this a step toward empowering creators, or another hurdle for Liberia’s creative youth?

I have bought my Burial Site, wrote my will

I have bought my Burial Site, wrote my will

Actress Kemi Afolabi has revealed the harrowing ordeal she faced while battling lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks its own organs and tissues.In an interview on Doyin Kukoyi TV, Afolabi recounted how, at the peak of her health crisis, she was unable to eat or drink, relied on oxygen to breathe, and even prepared for the worst by purchasing a burial site and writing her will.She credited her survival to God’s grace and the unwavering support of her family, friends, and colleagues.

Afolabi said her struggle began with severe joint pain “more intense than childbirth,” which led to multiple misdiagnoses at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). It was only after seeking medical care abroad that she finally received the correct diagnosis.She said, “When I was down with Lupus, I thought the end had come. I couldn’t eat or drink. I was using oxygen to breathe. I already bought where I would be buried, and I wrote my Will, but God said it was not yet time to go. I survived with the power of God, the support of my family, friends and colleagues. Lupus has killed a lot of people. I had never heard of it till I experienced it. It is an autoimmune disease that will make your body’s system work against itself. The organs will not function properly

“When it first started with me, all the joints in my body gave me intense pain. Childbirth pain is a little compared to the pain of Lupus. They were diagnosing different diseases for me at LUTH until I travelled out and was told it’s Lupus. Lupus has no cure, I am still managing it with medications. I travel abroad every now and then because of it. I get an injection every day. I can’t be under the light for a long time like I used to when acting. People were saying so many things, but the one that got to me most was when someone said I have been used spiritually.”

Peller Accuses Asisat Oshoala, Super Falcons of Ignoring Him After $100k Bonus

Popular Nigerian TikToker, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Peller, has called out Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala and her teammates for allegedly ignoring his messages following their recent financial reward from the presidency.

In a viral video, Peller claimed the players stopped responding to him after receiving $100,000 each for their victory at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

“I text Asisat since last two weeks, she never reply me. Them don give them $100k, all the Nigerian girls footballers didn’t reply me,” he lamented.

The content creator suggested the players’ attitude had changed because of their newfound wealth, describing it as a sudden shift in personality.

“If the $100k finish, if they text me I’ll not reply them. $100,000 is making you feel like angel that is flying,” Peller added in a mix of amusement and frustration.

K1 Placed on No-Fly List for Obstructing Aircraft, Says Aviation Minister

Kwam 1 Placed on No-Fly List for Obstructing Aircraft, Says Aviation Minister

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has ordered that Fuji legend King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as Kwam 1, be placed on a no-fly list over his role in disrupting a ValueJet flight at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The directive, announced via Keyamo’s official X handle on Thursday, August 7, 2025, followed an incident two days earlier where the musician reportedly obstructed a ValueJet aircraft from taxiing to the runway, sparking safety concerns.

Citing reports and video evidence submitted by aviation authorities, the minister accused Kwam 1 of repeatedly standing in front of the aircraft after a disagreement with airline staff. He described the act as a serious breach of international aviation safety standards.

“In the circumstance, I have also directed the NCAA to place Kwam 1 on a no-fly list pending further and full investigation,” Keyamo wrote. “All airlines, both domestic and international, should immediately be informed of this directive.”

Keyamo also warned that any airline that violates the order risks having its operating licence withdrawn. He criticised what he called selective enforcement of regulations, insisting that both the artiste and the flight crew must face consequences for the safety breach.

Before the directive, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had suspended the pilot and flight captain involved for proceeding to taxi while the tarmac was not cleared, but the minister said this measure was not enough.

The incident, which occurred during boarding for Flight VK 201 to Lagos, began when Kwam 1 allegedly attempted to carry an undeclared flask containing alcohol onboard. Despite warnings from Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel, he reportedly refused to comply and later poured the contents on a security official, escalating the confrontation.

The musician was eventually removed from the tarmac by AVSEC operatives and released after preliminary questioning, as investigations into the matter continue.
