Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has responded to criticism from the Muslim community by deleting the controversial music video of his signee, Logos Olori.

On Friday morning, Davido posted the music video on his Twitter page as part of his promotion for the music artist. The video depicted individuals dressed in white clothes engaging in prayers similar to Islamic practices, followed by dancing and recitation of Quranic verses.

The video quickly sparked controversy online, with some Muslim netizens expressing their displeasure and accusing Davido of disrespecting Islamic beliefs and practices. Particularly, Nigerian Muslims in the North found the video offensive and demanded that the music star take it down and apologize for his actions.

After facing several days of criticism, a visit to Davido’s Twitter page now reveals that he has finally removed the video, complying with the requests of some Muslims. However, he has not issued an apology for the content of the video.

The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of cultural sensitivity and respect for religious practices when creating and sharing content, especially in a diverse and multicultural society like Nigeria.

Abuja-Lokoja Highway Gridlock: FRSC Blames Motorists’ Impatience

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)?

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?
