Nigerian-American rapper, Olubowale Victor Akintimehin, better known by his stage name Wale, is of the opinion that Essence, a hit song by Ngerian superstar, Wizkid, should have bagged multiple awards at the 64th Grammys.

Wale’s submission is coming amid controversies surrounding Wizkid’s failure to win an award at the ceremony despite being among the nominees for Best Global Music Performance category.

On Twitter, Wale wrote: “Essence should have multiple Grammys.”

In light of this, many opinions from the rapper’s fans shared the same view, noting that Wizkid’s album, Made In Lagos, which earned the singer his second Grammy nomination should have at least won an award.

@Jane Red wrote: “Wale’s right. Wizkid appears cheated. He should have won man.”

The Federal Government on Friday said there can be no evacuation of Nigerians in Ukraine until the airports in the European country, which is under attack by Russia, are reopened.

The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, in the early hours of Thursday had ordered an invasion of Ukraine.

The invasion was marked with shelling and rocket attacks on several Ukrainian major cities, including the capital, Kyiv, leading to dozens of deaths.

The invasion, which has continued, has created widespread panic and seen many fleeing Ukraine.

Countries such as India, South Africa, among others had announced the facilitation of the evacuation of their nationals from Ukraine to neighbouring Poland by setting up offices at the Ukrainian-Polish borders.

According to the Nigerian Foreign Affairs Ministry, there are no fewer than 5,600 Nigerians in Ukraine, majority of who are students.

Ukraine is a choice destination for many Nigerian students, especially those in medical-related fields, because it is cheaper compared with other western countries.

The National Association of Nigerian Students in Ukraine had sent out a Save Our Soul message to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), seeking immediate evacuation from Ukraine.

On Friday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said the Federal Government was concerned about the safety of the 5,600 Nigerians in Ukraine.

“The advice we were getting is that we should not panic. The embassy was in touch with the students telling them to take reasonable precautions,” Onyeama said.

The foreign affairs minister spoke in Abuja after having separate meetings with the Ukrainian ambassador to Nigeria, Kirdoda Valerii, and his Russian counterpart, Alexei Shebarshin.

Onyeama disclosed that during his meeting with the Russian envoy, he discussed the possibility of Nigeria getting her citizens out of Ukraine but the Russian envoy told him there might be risk involved.

According to him, Shebarshin, however, said Russia was mindful of the civilians from foreign countries and would take all the necessary measures to ensure their security.

Canadian singer, Stephanie Otobo, calls out the senior pastor of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Suleman, as she leaks photos of their romantic affair.

It would be recalled that the saga between the singer and Apostle Suleman started way back in 2017 after which she confessed to lying against the preacher.

In a recent development, Stephanie Otobo took to the micro-blogging platform to pen a lengthy post about their romantic affair.

Sharing snapshots of their video call interactions, the singer leaked photos of the manhood of Apostle Suleman as she challenged his wife to confirm the scar on the preacher’s thighs.

In her words;

“If these screenshots were fake, how did i get his pics that aren’t public pics at the first place and how come I’m the first to release this kind of pics of him?

He has changed his hairstyle twice since i came out to speak up with receipts. He has done alot to appear different

If the dick pic isn’t his, what is he gonna say about the scar oh his left thigh? His wife can’t deny that scar.

How did i know he has a scar on his left thigh if we we didn’t have intimacy?Lol. If he’s denying, he should open up his thigh let’s see. His nails too says it all

Some people kept on wondering why i came out esposing apostle Johnson suleman, and why i haven’t let go ever since.

The truth is that, i never planned to. He pushed me to the wall and the only way i could fight back was to cry out and made everything known.
The devil smile

Apostle Johnson Suleman tried using police to shut me up because I visited Nigeria to do feature Timaya in a song.

I already paid Clarence Peters for the visuals of the song before oga arrested me, cos i refused to obey him to go back to Canada. He wanted me to amount to nothing

He did everything to stop my music music career. He was scared that I’ll be influencial. He even poisoned me, paid my friends to set me up and bribed some members of my fam to assassinate me.

Lured me to come make false confession at his church in auchi that i lied against him.

That it was other pastors and politicians that wanted to bring him down. How come no name was mentioned.?

I only did that cos the pressure was toomuch and everyone had left ne to suffer alone. No support. I had to give up at that moment to have the opportunity for reinforcement.

This man has done everything to end my life but God is not dead, this video is the complete story of how everything happened and how it’s going lately.

I’ll release a comprehensive video of everything that happened and the answers to questions.”

Pastor David Ibiyeomie, lead Pastor of Salvation Ministries, has proclaimed that individuals who do not pay their tithes to the church are criminals.

The televangelist, who compared tithing to paying taxes to the federal government, stated on Sunday that giving 10% of all earnings to the church is required.

Refusing to pay tithe, like tax evasion, is a serious act, according to him.

In his words:

“Tax is the government’s share, so you don’t say I want to give the government my tax, you say you want to pay tax, that is how tithe is God’s own. Leviticus 27:30. God is the owner of the tithe. So, what do you do?

“You pay, it’s only in Nigeria you don’t pay tax and they can leave you, in the Western world it is a big criminal offence, if you don’t pay tithe, you are a criminal, your offence is punishable, tithe is simply one-tenth of your income, 10 per cent of your income goes to God.”

He further stated that if an individual keeps experiencing near success syndrome, it is not because they need deliverance, but it’s because they’re not tithers

The pastor said:

“Near success syndrome will not happen. If you’re experiencing near success syndrome don’t go for deliverance, you’re not a tither. Anything that I do, when it is close to manifestation, the thing will just go off, you’re not a faithful tither.

“Many deliverance ministries, they just go for deliverance, this is the problem, they don’t pay Tithe faithfully. Yet, they will say anything I want to do, when it is about to click it will just go off.

“It is near success syndrome. Correct it from tithing, don’t correct it from seven days deliverance. Hear this, tithe must be paid first otherwise the curse will remain”
