Linda Ikeji Denies Changing Son’s Surname

By Milcah Tanimu
Nigerian media personality Linda Ikeji has refuted claims that she changed the surname of her six-year-old son, Jayce. Speculation arose after Ikeji shared a picture of Jayce and his cousin Ryan, referring to her son with her own last name. Some netizens interpreted this as her changing Jayce’s surname from his father’s, Sholaye Jeremi’s, to hers.
Addressing the rumors, Ikeji clarified that her son’s surname has always been Ikeji since his birth. She emphasized that she has never had the time or inclination to change his name and that the decision to change it, if ever, will be left to Jayce when he comes of age. She stated on her Instagram page, “Just to be clear. I’ve never ever had to change my son’s surname. He’s been an Ikeji right from when he was born! Where do I have the time or patience to be changing names? Changing it and keeping his surname (Ikeji) will be up to him when he ages. Food for my junior colleagues.”

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?
