Banky W Reacts To Buhari’s Statement At Commonwealth
Just like many other Nigerian youths, singer Banky W has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech at the Commonwealth conference where he described the youths as lazy.
His post:- “So apparently, this is what our president thinks about the Nigerian youths, what do you guys think? I have a suggestion whether you agree or disagree with the president’s speech, this time do a little bit more than posting, commenting retrieving and complaining, go and resister to vote”.
“I’ve sat in countless meetings, seminars, conferences and hangouts with young people, we are always great at pointing out our issues, but the truth is that we can sit around and complain from now until thy kingdom come, it will not matter. INEC will not count your tweets let’s turn the month of May to PVC May”.
“Even if you don’t know who you are voting for, even if you hate every single candidate at least register so that if someone comes along, you will feel compelled to support, you can if you’re really serious about wanting Nigeria to be better place, go and register to vote, get you PVC”.
The registration period will end long before the election comes, so if you think you can wait until next year, you are wrong, get your PVC today or don’t bother complaining about anything because it won’t matter. Your tweets will not count, you vote will.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
