Popular Nigerian musician, actor and Lawyer Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz has again threw shades at the Federal Government, Nigerian Pastors and the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) over the case of Hijab etc, in is new song titled “Talk.”
Some of the lyrics from the song says “four years tenure, three years holiday, we buy your story, you no give us change, in 2019, 19800 alawee” etc. With this new song, Falz has since stirred reactions from Nigerians as some compare him to Afro beat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
After releasing “This is Nigeria,” Falz came out with yet another controversial socio-conscious song that addresses critical happenings and advises the youths to be weary of greedy politicians produced by Yung Willis the Video shows the rapper criticises the corrupt practices politicians engage in as well as issues regarding christianity and tribalism in the country.
The video themed in a video game format sees Falz driving around town along side his team, while different scenes relating to the lyric playout, the visuals portray a young boy playing a video game in which he controls Falz giving the options to save Nigeria, relocate to Yankee or join gang. The boy chooses Falz to save his country dressing him up as a judge or the leader of h is own party.
The over reaching message of the song and accompanying music video is that people should not be afraid to talk about the problems they face as talking is the first step in solving issues. Having watched the video and the message it puts across, a Nigerian singer M. I. Abaga is of the view that Falz safety should be prioritized, “Falz needs to be protected at all costs,” he said.
Recall that Falz was heavily chastised following the release of “this is Nigeria” the song was later banned by the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on the basis that it contained in decent and vulgar lyrics. Falz however argued that it was wrong for the NBC to ban the song because it was not vulgar rather it’s a socially conscious piece of art which addresses some of the current issues facing or challenging the country.
He later fled a one hundred million suit against the NBC as he declared the commission’s decision as wrongful and unconstitutional.
Critics claimed that her body makeover was one of the reasons she allegedly left the marriage and noted that she was still out in public with the video of her club outing.
Reacting to the allegations, Ogbodo came to Bambam’s defence. She stated that no woman would leave her marriage simply because she went under the knife. According to her, it is the man who drives a woman to leave.
The mother of three further explained that no woman willingly leaves a marriage she has invested in over many years. If a woman does leave, it is the man’s fault, possibly due to abuse that she chooses not to disclose publicly.
She added that a man must have shown the woman disrespect or failed to nurture the marriage.
Ogbodo emphasised that if a man refuses to love, protect, and give peace to his wife, the responsibility for the breakdown rests entirely with him.
It would be recalled that Uche Ogbodo also recently underwent cosmetic surgery and shared videos with her fans online,

”I want to talk about something rampant, has been rampant, and is still rampant. I just want to ask those of you who show up uninvited at events and parties, what’s your purpose? What do you aim to achieve? Then, those of you who receive a card that admits only one person and invite all your village people, don’t check with the host; you pack your people and come. What are you doing there? Why don’t you respect yourself and stay away? It’s rude, you’re a gate crasher. Respect yourself enough to stay away from places you aren’t invited to,” she said.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled dates for both the 99th Academy Awards and its landmark 100th ceremony. The back-to-back events, set for 2027 and 2028, will mark the final years of the Oscars airing on longtime broadcast partner ABC before a major shift to YouTube.
The 99th Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 14, 2027, followed by the historic 100th edition on Sunday, March 5, 2028. Both ceremonies will broadcast live at 7 p.m. ET from the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and reach audiences in over 200 territories worldwide. Looking ahead, the Academy has also confirmed a venue change, with the ceremony set to move to the Peacock Theater beginning in 2029, where it will remain through 2039.
The Tide Entertainment reports that the announcement comes amid a shifting broadcast landscape. ABC is gearing up for a packed 2027 schedule, including its debut as the home of the Grammy Awards and its first Super Bowl broadcast in over two decades.
