TRAGIC PASSING OF YOUNG SINGER "DESTINY BOY"💔💀
Nigerian Afro-Fuji street-pop artist Afeez Adeshina, popularly known as Destiny Boy, died at age 22. The news broke on social media around 18 January 2026, shocking fans and the Nigerian music community. 
Destiny Boy’s funeral and burial took place on 23 January at his father’s residence in Ayetoro, Ogun State, attended by family, friends and fans mourning the young star’s untimely loss.
There was public discussion around the circumstances of his death and police involvement —with at least one suspect reportedly taken into custody as investigations continued. 

THE CYBER WAR BETWEEN WIZKID AND SEUN KUTI🪖🔫💻

The conflict began after members of Wizkid FC (Wizkid’s very active fanbase) claimed Wizkid is a “modern-day Fela” or even better than Fela Kuti. 
Seun Kuti, the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, strongly disagreed with this comparison, arguing that Fela’s cultural, musical, and political influence can’t simply be measured against commercial success. 
Seun Kuti publicly criticised Wizkid and Wizkid FC for the comparisons, calling them inappropriate and suggesting they misunderstood Fela’s legacy. And the exchange spilled into personal remarks.
 In response, Wizkid broke his silence on X with bold posts saying things like “I’m bigger than your papa” and insulting Seun’s arguments.
 Many fans and commentators have taken sides online, some defending Wizkid’s accomplishments, others defending Fela’s enduring legacy. Some Nigerian celebrities and cultural figures have weighed in, urging respect for Fela’s legacy and warning against letting debates turn personal.

THREE MUSKETEERS : ISHOWSPEED, PELLER AND EGUNGUN 📷🎥🏇🐎💪🥕

Darren Jason Watkins Jr., aka IShowSpeed, the American streamer, was in Lagos as part of his “Speed Does Africa” tour when he turned 21  and the visit quickly became a major trending topic. He livestreamed while exploring the city, interacting with crowds, and celebrating big milestones like hitting 50 million YouTube subscribers right there. His trip drew huge crowds, chaotic street moments, and global attention, making it a memorable moment in Nigerian entertainment this week.

Videos showed Peller (a Nigerian content creator) trying to reach IShowSpeed through crowds and security in Lagos, hoping to collaborate or get a clip on the livestream. Security repeatedly prevented him from getting close, and IShowSpeed ended up not interacting with him directly on camera. This snub went viral, with many Nigerians online reacting, debating whether IShowSpeed was rude or simply focused on his project.
Peller’s management said they had reached out to IShowSpeed’s team before the visit, but were told he wasn’t interested in collaborating with streamers, and that introducing Peller as a “streamer” was the mistake. Many fans and commentators defended Peller’s efforts, while others criticised how it was handled or advised him on using solid management and strategy.

A video of Egungun (Another Lagos based content creator) interviewing IShowSpeed during the Lagos livestream went viral, not because it was a highlight, but because many viewers criticised how awkward or chaotic it appeared.
Egungun later responded to the backlash, explaining that the crowd pressure and unexpected excitement made the situation hard to handle. 
Some commentators also weighed in, discussing what good interviewing looks like and how creators can better prepare.

The whole situation sparked discussions about fame, respect between creators, and how international guests engage with local influencers.


Until next time, I remain...

BOOK REVIEW "The psychology of money"

"The psychology of money"by Morgan Housel        The book is a captivating exploration of the complex relationship between our minds and money. Housel brings to limelight the psychological biases and behaviors that influence our financial decisions, offering insights that are both practical and profound. He discusses how our emotions, instincts, and past experiences shape our attitudes towards money, often leading to irrational choices and unexpected outcomes.      One key theme in the book is the importance of understanding the difference between being rich and being wealthy. Housel argues that true wealth is not just about having a large bank account, but rather about achieving financial security and freedom. He emphasizes the value of investing in experiences, relationships, and personal growth, rather than just accumulating material possessions.       Another highlight is Housel's exploration of the concept of risk and uncertainty in...

COUNTRY IN FOCUS: NORTH KOREA

North Korea, officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country in East Asia that occupies the northern half of the Korean Peninsula. It shares borders with China, a small stretch with Russia, and South Korea, while also lying between the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan (East Sea). Its geographical  position, combined with its political stance, makes it one of the most isolated nations in the world. The country was established in 1948 following the division of Korea at the end of WWII, and has since been ruled by the Kim family dynasty,  currently under Kim Jong-un.
