About Timaya’s Gratitude Album
Even though Timaya has released bigger albums, “Gratitude” Album is his most introspective project for 14 years. The Nigerian super star and veteran singer has been in our face producing hit after hit and nailing his impact into the consciousness of American Grammy winner, Cardi B.
He has told his true story as a ‘plantain Boy’ with immense faith in God, he has spoken about life Anagaga and showed ‘Gratitude’ for his journey and he has told ‘Malonogedi’, while inspiring us to shake our ‘Bum Bum’. He has also rebranded from ‘Dem mama’ to DM and became papichulo or chulo for short.
All the while, his ploy has been to make us feel good Afro pop music the best way he can. His story and style of music is also one of the least criticized because Timaya is never going to change and there is no reason to expect him to change, but here, there is a slight change.
His latest album Gratitude comes on the heels of welcoming his third child with the stunning Dunnie. On L.O.V.E, it seems Timaya makes music for Dunnie aboard a Reggae beat.
“Gratitude” is a Timaya album filled with feel good Afro pop music, but this time his topics are from a more mature, calmer introspective and inspired Timaya. The music is enjoyable and calmer. In that spirit, Timaya sings “me I no de do gra gra”.
Commendably, he also bravely goes through the tracks by himself, while the album has some vibes, Timaya stands tall and speaks resonant truths into the entire spirit of his album. He is still energetic but his experience and veteran status shows in his music and he openly projects that.
Timaya articulates the right stories and shows the reason for his gratitude. This is a story of residence, Providence, pain and success from a veteran Nigerian super star. Even though Timaya has released bigger albums, Gratitude is his most introspective. It adequately reflects Timaya’s current stance in life and largely reveals a different side of him.
The album contains the following tracks:Born To Win, Don Dada, Something Must Kill A Man, I Can’t Kill Myself, Iberibe and L.O.V.E others are Local N Bougie, Gra Gra, Chulo Bothers Nobody, The Mood, No Limit and Okaka.
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,
The actress had remained on the lips of many Nigerians following her role in the trending movie Love in Every Word.
Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has expressed her distaste for individuals who attend events without being invited. The actress in an Instagram video, spoke about the importance of self respect and being considerate.

”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. Meanwhile, this year’s Oscars telecast saw a dip in viewership, drawing 17.86 million viewers across ABC and Hulu, a 9% decline from the previous year’s five-year high.
Still, excitement around the awards remains strong. The most recent ceremony crowned Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” as Best Picture, while early buzz for the upcoming season is already building. Anticipated contenders include the Ryan Gosling-led “Project Hail Mary,” Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three” starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, and Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Digger” featuring Tom Cruise.
No hosts have been announced yet for either ceremony, adding another layer of anticipation to the milestone events.
In addition to confirming the ceremony dates, the Academy also released its full calendar for the 2026–2027 awards season, outlining key milestones from the eligibility period beginning January 1, 2026, to nominations voting in January 2027, and final voting in early March.
