Davido Removes Controversial Music Video Following Public Criticism

David Adeleke, better known as Davido, a Nigerian music sensation, has taken down a controversial music video featuring his protegé, Logos Olori, following substantial online criticism.
Davido experienced significant backlash from numerous Muslims on social media after he posted a 45-second teaser of an upcoming music video on Twitter last Saturday.
Many Muslim viewers found the video offensive as it portrayed a group of men dressed in Muslim prayer attire engaging in song and dance during a prayer session. Critics accused Davido of disrespecting Islam by integrating religious practices with secular entertainment. They demanded the removal of the video and a formal apology.
Prominent Nigerian personalities, including Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, and actor Ali Nuhu, were notably outspoken on the issue.
In a tweet, Ahmad stated, “This content is viewed as extremely disrespectful, hurtful, and offensive by every Muslim, @davido. It’s common knowledge that we Muslims don’t trivialize our faith, especially Salah (prayer), which is sacred and one of the five pillars of Islam.”
Nuhu, a star of Kanywood, the Hausa language film industry, shared his thoughts via Instagram, urging the singer to respect other people’s ‘religion, culture, and traditions’.
In his words, “This video by @davido is unacceptable in Islam. Please take down the video and apologize for offending the entire Muslim community.”
Also, Shehu Sani, a former legislator, advised Davido to delete the video.
On Sunday, Sani tweeted, “If a part of your work offends your fans, particularly in terms of their culture, faith, or religious beliefs, it’s honorable to remove or modify that part, apologize, and move forward. This pertains to Davido. That’s my opinion.”
Although Davido did not publicly comment on the issue or offer an official apology, the singer succumbed to the pressure and removed the controversial video two days after the outcry. This was confirmed on Monday morning by monitoring Davido’s social media accounts.

Recall that Imisi revealed that she has no fixed plan for the grand prize if she emerges as the winner, stressing she would first seek professional financial guidance before deciding how to spend the money.
During her final diary session with Big Brother on Sunday, the housemate appeared both excited and reflective as she spoke about her journey, the lessons she had learned, and her hopes for life after the show.
She said, “Honestly, right now I don’t have a set plan for the money.
“I need to seek financial advice first because I’ve never had such a large amount before. I Want to Avoid Costly Financial Mistakes”

Abuja-Lokoja Highway Gridlock: FRSC Blames Motorists’ Impatience

By: Fabian Apechihin
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has expressed frustration over motorists’ lack of cooperation in easing the gridlock on the Abuja-Lokoja highway.
Kogi State Sector Commander, Kumar Tsukwam, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that officials had been battling since Sunday to clear the traffic, which stretched from Ogbobo/Ozi to the Murtala Mohammed Bridge in Koton-Karfe.
He attributed the gridlock to ongoing road construction, broken-down vehicles on the single lane, and motorists’ impatience.
“Some drivers blocked opposing lanes, worsening the situation. We are doing our best to restore free movement for travellers,” Tsukwam said.
Motorists and commuters lamented the hardship caused by the standstill. Mohammed Yusuf, a driver, said he spent nine hours travelling from Abuja to Lokoja on Sunday.
“I left Abuja before 3 p.m. but didn’t reach Lokoja until midnight. The fuel wasted on the road is unbearable, especially with current prices,” he said.
Another traveller, Christopher Adamu, recounted spending the entire night in traffic after leaving Abuja in the evening. He urged authorities to take urgent measures to address the situation.
NAN reports that a construction company is currently working on the right lane of the highway between Koton-Karfe and Abaji, forcing traffic onto a single lane and worsening congestion.
Do you want me to make this more hard-news (short, direct, fact-heavy) or human-interest focused (emphasizing the commuters’ suffering and quotes)?

Singer Chike: “I Need Money to Be Happy, Marriage Is Not for Me”

By: Fabian Apechihin
Nigerian singer and Nollywood actor, Chike Osebuka, has dismissed the idea of marriage, describing it as a “stupid step” while stressing that his happiness is tied to financial stability.
The 32-year-old artiste made this known during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, where he revealed that he currently has no plans to settle down.
“In my personal opinion, I think it’s a stupid step to get married. For me to be happy, I need a lot of money. This is not even carnal—I just like money. I want money,” Chike stated.
Reflecting on his career, the singer admitted he never imagined music would become his profession until after completing university.
“I would say maybe right after my university, I knew music is what I’ll do for a living. Before then, I just used to sing and disturb everybody around me,” he said.
Chike also recalled enduring tough financial times early in his career, which pushed him into acting roles for about two years just to stay afloat.
Would you like me to make this rewrite more formal for a news report or more conversational for entertainment blogs?
