GloRilla and Boyfriend Brandon Ingram Recreate Bow Wow and Ciara’s Iconic ‘Like You’ Video for Halloween


GloRilla and her boyfriend, NBA star Brandon Ingram, took a nostalgic trip back to the 2000s after transforming into Bow Wow and Ciara for Halloween.

The couple recreated the memorable elevator scene from Bow Wow and Ciara’s 2005 music video for their hit collaboration, Like You, bringing back one of the era’s most recognisable R&B and hip-hop moments.

GloRilla stepped into Ciara’s role, while Ingram channelled a young Bow Wow. They also paid attention to the details, wearing outfits inspired by the matching tiger-print Ed Hardy shirts featured in the original video.

The Memphis rapper shared the recreation on Instagram on October 30, 2026, with the caption: “Cause Ian never had nobody do me like youuuu” — a lyric from the song.

Before involving Ingram, GloRilla had also recreated the cover of Ciara’s 2004 debut album, Goodies, wearing a pink hoodie, jeans and a cross necklace.



There is an unlikely connection behind GloRilla’s transformation. In 2024, Ciara dressed up as GloRilla for Halloween, recreating the rapper’s viral interview with Speedy Morman.

Two years later, GloRilla returned the tribute by celebrating Ciara’s early-2000s image and bringing her boyfriend along to recreate the singer’s famous on-screen pairing with Bow Wow.

Beyond the costumes, the recreation offered a nostalgic reminder of Like You, a song and music video that helped define a memorable moment in mid-2000s pop culture.

He spoke on the young men no longer thinking they should treat their wife or girlfriend with common courtesy. And he says it’s because they were raised by women and men left a lot on the backs of mothers. So they weren’t raised to know how to be with a woman. And they’re too sensitive.

The Federal High Court in Kaduna has convicted former soldier Ruth Ogunleye over defamatory TikTok videos against the Commandant of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Major General Oluyemi Thomas Olatoye.






Justice Rilwanu Aikawa sentenced her to two years in prison but suspended the sentence for three years. She was also fined ₦500,000 after pleading guilty to two of the five charges filed against her.

The court ordered her to publish an apology in two national newspapers within 14 days, delete the videos and refrain from contacting or publishing further materials about the Commandant.

Her lawyer warned that violating the court’s conditions could lead to her serving the suspended jail term.

Ogunleye previously made headlines after publicly accusing Colonel I.B. Abdulkareem of sexual harassment and alleging that other senior officers failed to protect her after she complained about his conduct.

Among the officers she accused of failing to act on her complaints was General Christopher Gwabin Musa (Rtd.), who was then the Chief of Defence Staff and is now Nigeria’s Minister of Defence.

In January 2024, she publicly accused Abdulkareem, Colonel G.S. Ogor and Brigadier General I.B. Solebo of intimidation and other forms of alleged maltreatment after she rejected what she described as unwanted sexual advances.

The Nigerian Army subsequently investigated her allegations and said it found no evidence to substantiate the sexual harassment claims against Abdulkareem. The Army also maintained that Ogunleye was discharged from service on medical grounds following medical assessments.

In October 2024, Ogunleye appealed for a review of her case, saying she believed someone might have tampered with the investigation’s findings. She also expressed concern about the stigma surrounding the case and its implications for her reputation.

burnaboy speaks about his football academy as he presents the Socrates award to #bukayosaka at the #70thballondor ceremony#

My football academy is basically for my people back home, it’s something we started few years ago to support the football culture back home and hopefully Inshaallah one day, I’ll come back here to see one of my people getting awards at the Ballon d’or”_____ 




Nigerian music star Burna Boy has revealed that his football academy is driven by a desire to create opportunities for young football talents back home, with an ambitious dream of seeing one of them win the prestigious Ballon d’Or.

Speaking about the project, the Grammy-winning singer explained that the academy was established several years ago to support football development and nurture talent in his home community.

“My football academy is basically for my people back home. It’s something we started a few years ago to support the football culture back home and hopefully, InshaAllah, one day, I’ll come back here to see one of my people getting awards at the Ballon d’Or,” he said.

His ambition goes beyond establishing a football academy. Burna Boy hopes the initiative will help create a pathway for young players to develop their abilities and eventually compete on the global stage.

The Ballon d’Or, one of football’s most prestigious individual honours, represents the scale of the dream he has for the talents he hopes to support.

For Burna Boy, the ultimate achievement would be seeing someone from his community rise through the game and receive international recognition.

Nigeria is just funny, people just want to believe what they want to believe and some people know that baba is working but they just don’t like him”_____ #eniolabadmus says in an interview with #daddyfreeze

 Daddy Freeze has defended the achievements of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, pointing to the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) as one initiative he believes deserves recognition.

Speaking during a conversation with actress Eniola Badmus, Daddy Freeze said he sometimes avoids political discussions because people often remain committed to their existing beliefs, regardless of attempts to persuade them.

He explained that the student loan scheme stood out to him because of the difficulties many Nigerians faced in accessing higher education when he was a university student.

“His first achievement I’ll keep talking about is the NELFUND. When I was in university, I never had the opportunity of getting a student loan. Some people in my age range couldn’t go to school because they weren’t able to get a student loan. Now there are student loans. I have never heard that before. It’s a big deal, you and I know that,” he said.

Daddy Freeze added that, in his view, the administration had undertaken other initiatives that he believed were being overlooked by critics.

“There are a whole lot of things that Baba has done but, like I said earlier, some people just believe what they want to believe,” he added.

He also suggested that some students do not tell their parents about accessing the loan because they want to continue receiving financial support from them.

“Some of these students don’t even let their parents know about the student loan just because they want to force money out of them,” he said.



The Nigerian Education Loan Fund was established under the Student Loans (Access to Higher Education) Act 2024 to provide financial support to eligible students in Nigerian tertiary institutions.

The scheme has become one of the prominent education policies associated with the Tinubu administration. However, discussions about its impact also include questions about access, implementation, repayment and the experiences of beneficiaries.




“Sometimes I tend to shy away from questions like this Hecate people just believe what they want to believe, there is no amount of convincing you could do, they’ll still believe what they want to believe. His first achievement l’Il keep talking about is the NELFUND, when i was in university I never had the opportunity of getting a student loan, some people in my age range couldn’t go to school because they weren’t able to get a student loan. Now there are student loans, i have never heard that before. It’s a big deal, you and I know that. There are a whole lot of things that baba has done but like I said earlier, some people just believe what they want to believe.
Some of these students don’t even let their parents know about the students loan just because they want to force money out of them.


Only south west isn’t getting student loans but it’s there for everybody else. It’s a big deal and you know this. The fact that baba was even able to do that, this is the first time I’ll see any president do it. People should make use of askcityboy.com to see the things Baba has done in the last 3-4 years. Nigeria is just funny, people just want to believe what they want to believe and some people know that baba is working but they just don’t like him”_____ 


Daddy Freeze’s comments bring the conversation back to a central question: how should Nigerians assess government policies — by their stated intentions, the number of people they reach, or the actual experiences of those who depend on them?

Meagan Good Receives Custom Hand-Painted Jacket During Visit to Lagos



Hollywood actress Meagan Good has received a one-of-one custom hand-painted denim jacket from Nigerian creative Urchez Drewit during her recent visit to Lagos.

The Nigerian artist presented the personalised piece to the actress at the Diaspora Week Africa Creative Exchange Dinner, an event hosted by Meagan Good and her husband, Jonathan Majors.

Sharing a video of the memorable encounter, Urchez Drewit revealed that he created the jacket specially for the actress after learning she would be visiting Nigeria.


In an emotional account, the artist explained that he purchased the jacket, paints and other materials but initially doubted whether he would ever get the opportunity to present his creation to his childhood screen idol.

He eventually spent an entire day hand-painting the denim piece before making several attempts to secure access to the actress.

Despite encountering setbacks, including going to the wrong event location, he eventually made it to the presentation.


The artist described meeting Meagan Good as a special moment, expressing gratitude to everyone who helped make the presentation possible.

He also praised the actress for being gracious and kind during their encounter.


Beyond the celebrity moment, the presentation highlights the opportunities created when international entertainment figures connect with Nigerian creatives.

For Urchez Drewit, a personal admiration for an actress he grew up watching became an opportunity to place his artwork in the hands of its intended recipient.

This fashion piece carries a story that goes far beyond its design.

Priscilla Ojo Reacts as ‘Most Hated Dress on the Internet’ Sells Out Days After Launch

Priscilla Ojo reacts after her new collection which was branded “the most h@ted dress on the internet” sells out in just days .

Priscilla Ojo has seemingly responded to critics of her latest fashion collection after revealing that one of its most criticised dresses has completely sold out.

The businesswoman took to Snapchat to share a video featuring three models wearing the controversial outfit, accompanied by the caption: “The most hated dress on the internet is sold out!!!”

Her announcement comes days after the collection sparked heated conversations online, with social media users divided over its designs, fabric choices and overall presentation.

Priscilla's latest collection, PCE (PriscyClosetExclusive), was unveiled on November 5, 2026, following months of preparation.

While the collection attracted attention, one particular dress became the centre of online criticism, with some commenters questioning its appearance and wearability.

However, the negative reviews did not appear to stop customers from purchasing the outfit.


On November 12, Priscilla shared a video of three models showcasing the dress and announced that it had sold out.

She did not disclose the number of pieces produced or the exact sales figures.


Interestingly, the controversy followed the launch of her new fashion collection, which Priscilla had described as a project involving months of fabric sourcing, fitting different body types and attention to finishing.

The collection also marks another chapter in her fashion business journey through Priscy's Closet.


The situation highlights an interesting reality of social media-driven fashion businesses: online criticism does not always translate into poor sales.

A design can divide public opinion and still attract enough buyers to sell out. In Priscilla's case, the attention surrounding the dress may have helped keep the collection in the conversation.

Does a fashion collection needs unanimous approval to succeed commercially?

Would you wear the dress that the internet called its most hated?

Reactions as Asake Unveils December Concert Ticket Prices, Platinum Table Hits ₦20 Million

Nigerian singer Asake has sparked conversations online after unveiling ticket prices for his highly anticipated December concert in Lagos, with the most expensive package reportedly costing a staggering ₦20 million.

The singer is scheduled to headline M$NEY In Lagos on December 20, 2026, at Oasis Ground, Coastal Road, Victoria Island, as part of Future Fest '26.

Following the announcement of his Lagos homecoming concert, attention has shifted to the ticket prices, particularly the multi-million-naira table packages.


According to the published ticket categories, the prices are:

  • General Access – ₦100,000
  • Bleachers – ₦200,000
  • VIP Bleachers – ₦250,000
  • VVIP Bleachers – ₦300,000
  • Gold Table – ₦10 million
  • Platinum Table – ₦20 million.


The figures have generated mixed reactions, with some social media users questioning the affordability of the concert.

While some fans expressed surprise at the ₦100,000 starting price, others focused on the ₦20 million Platinum Table package.

One Reddit user reacting to the announcement wrote:

"I'm really looking forward to seeing Asake, but 100k naira is a lot for a concert ticket."

Another fan hoped the price would eventually be reduced, while other commenters suggested that the premium packages were likely designed for wealthy guests and groups.

The conversation goes beyond Asake's concert. It highlights the growing divide between the excitement surrounding Nigeria's Detty December entertainment season and the financial reality of attending some of its biggest events.

For an artiste whose music enjoys a broad audience, the question is whether the experience is becoming increasingly exclusive or whether premium concert pricing simply reflects the commercial value of major live performances.

Asake's December show will certainly attract attention, but the ticket prices have already become part of the conversation.

Would you spend ₦100,000 to see Asake perform live, or is that too much for a concert ticket?

Dorcas Shola Fapson Twerks Underwater During Zanzibar Vacation, Responds to Body Shamers



Nigerian actress and DJ Dorcas Shola Fapson, popularly known as DSF, has sparked reactions after sharing a video of herself twerking underwater during her vacation in Zanzibar, Tanzania.

The media personality was captured dancing and showing off her moves during an underwater helmet-diving experience, wearing a black-and-white zebra-print swimsuit.

While the unusual footage entertained many viewers, some social media users turned their attention to her appearance, particularly her backside, prompting criticism.

However, DSF was quick to respond to the comments with a playful message.

“I know that part looks kinda crazy but pls try going underwater to twerk & let me see how you look.. don’t run, post your results 😂,” she wrote.

Her response has added another layer to the online conversation, with the entertainer challenging critics to experience the same underwater conditions before judging her appearance.

The video has since drawn attention to both her adventurous Zanzibar getaway and her unapologetic response to body-shaming.

2Baba Celebrates Annie Idibia’s Birthday With Heartfelt Message: “You Are Loved Dearly”




Nigerian music star Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has drawn attention on social media after celebrating his estranged wife, Annie Idibia, on her birthday with two separate tributes.

The AFRICAN QUEEN singer first shared Annie’s photograph on his Instagram Story on Friday, November 13, 2026, tagging her account and writing, “Happy birthday @annieidibia1.”

Hours later, another birthday message surfaced on an Instagram account bearing his birth name, Ujah Idibia. This time, the singer shared a video of Annie celebrating with friends and accompanied it with a more affectionate message.

“Massive birthday blessings Queen @annieidibia1. May the universe be on ur side always. Just know u are loved dearly. More love n light for u. Have a wonderful Bday,” he wrote.



The birthday gesture has attracted attention because of the couple's relationship history. 2Baba and Annie married in 2012 after years of dating and share two daughters, Isabella and Olivia.

In January 2025, the singer publicly announced that their marriage had come to an end, bringing their 13-year union into the spotlight.

Following the announcement, 2Baba's relationship with Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru became public. He subsequently proposed to her, and reports of their marriage emerged later that year.

However, developments surrounding his relationship with Natasha in 2026 have generated further public interest.



2Baba's decision to celebrate Annie with an affectionate message has renewed conversations about their relationship, with social media users questioning whether the gesture signals a change in their relationship.

However, a birthday tribute does not establish that the former couple have reconciled. Annie has previously dismissed speculation about a reunion.

For now, the singer's words remain a public birthday wish, but the choice of words, particularly his description of Annie as his Queen and assurance that she is loved dearly, has caught the attention of fans.

Yetunde Barnabas Faces Backlash After Sharing Video of Son Gripping Steering Wheel in Moving Car


Nollywood actress Yetunde Barnabas has sparked heated reactions on social media after sharing a video showing her infant son holding and pulling at the steering wheel while she was driving.

In the viral footage, the actress is seen with her young son on her lap as he reaches for the steering wheel. She playfully describes him as a big boy who is approaching his first birthday.

However, what appeared to be a playful mother-and-son moment quickly became a subject of concern among viewers, with several Nigerians questioning the safety of the situation.

Critics argued that allowing an infant to sit on a driver's lap and interfere with the steering wheel could put the child, the driver and other road users at risk. Some social media users also tagged the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), calling for the relevant authorities to investigate the incident.

The video has also generated debate, with some viewers defending the actress and suggesting that the footage was recorded within a private estate.

Following the criticism, Yetunde reportedly removed the original video and shared a shorter response, explaining that she had been driving beside her house rather than on a main road.

The incident has renewed conversations about child safety, responsible driving and the risks of sharing certain family moments on social media.

Veekee James Calls Out People Who Touch Babies Without Permission



Nigerian designer Veekee James has criticized people who touch babies without their parents’ permission, describing the act as unhygienic and inappropriate.

In a lengthy Snapchat rant directed at party bloggers, the designer reacted to a video of Toke Makinwa’s baby being touched by a stranger.

Veekee questioned why strangers would reach out to touch a baby’s hands, pointing out that babies frequently put their hands in their mouths and that people have no idea where someone else’s hands may have been.

“You are not their friend, you are not her family member, you are not related to them in any way. Why are you carrying your hand to touch a baby’s hand? You know babies put their hands in their mouth, why are you touching the baby’s hand?”

She also responded to the argument that parents who do not want strangers touching their children should simply keep them at home.

“If you don’t want people to touch your baby, don’t bring them out.”

According to Veekee, seeing someone’s child in public does not give anyone the right to touch them without asking for permission.

She concluded by urging people to keep their hands to themselves, regardless of whether they believe their hands are clean.

“Some people with their dirty hands, keep your hands to yourself. Even if your hands are even clean, keep your hands to yourself.”

Fashion Illustrator Calls Out Priscilla Ojo and Her Stylist Over Alleged Unauthorised Use of Design

The dispute involves three creative parties: the illustrator who claims ownership of the original concept, the stylist who supplied the illustration as a production brief, and House of Julyet Peters, which produced the finished outfit.


 Julyet Peters subsequently said it received the illustration from the stylist and denied knowingly appropriating the illustrator's work. The fashion house also issued a legal notice reportedly seeking ₦100 million in damages.





Nigerian fashion illustrator Muna has publicly called out influencer Priscilla Ojo and her stylist over the alleged unauthorised use of one of her original designs.

In a post shared on Instagram, the illustrator expressed disappointment after discovering that a design she created, hoping to sell to fashion brands and earn commissions from, had allegedly been brought to life without her permission, credit or compensation.

The disputed outfit is a heavily embellished brown blazer with fringe detailing, which Priscilla wore to the launch of her PalmPriy fashion store and lifestyle brand in Lagos.

Muna explained that she initially attempted to resolve the matter privately, hoping for a professional and amicable outcome. However, she claimed the response involved simply editing the post to tag her rather than addressing her concerns about the alleged use of her work.

“The fact that I'm still building my brand and trying to find my feet in this industry doesn't mean my work, creativity and intellectual property should be treated as though they have no value,” she wrote.

Questioning whether tagging her was sufficient, she asked how the gesture addressed the alleged unauthorised use of her design or compensated her for what she believed she had lost.

The controversy has also drawn attention to the role of celebrity stylists and fashion houses in ensuring that creative concepts are properly sourced and credited.


Coming online to discover that a design you created, with the intention of selling to brands and earning commissions from, has been claimed and brought to life by a Nigerian celebrity and brand without your permission, credit or compensation. 


What makes this even more disappointing is that, I raised this issue privately, hoping we could resolve it professionally and amicably. Instead, there has been little to no efforts towards resolving the actual issue. The post was simply edited, and I was tagged. But how does that address the situation? How does tagging me undo the unauthorized use of my work or compensate me for what I have lost?”

Who owns a fashion idea when an illustration moves from an independent creative to a stylist and finally to a fashion house? And who is responsible for securing permission before production?

Netizens Uncover Nkechi Blessing’s Mystery Boyfriend, Actress Threatens Legal Action Over Privacy Invasion



Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has expressed anger after social media users uncovered the identity of the mystery man she recently introduced to her followers.

The actress had teased her new relationship on Instagram, sharing glimpses of her partner while deliberately keeping his face away from the camera.

On November 10, she posted a video of the pair enjoying a night out, showing the man from behind and describing him as someone who makes her extremely happy.

However, by the following day, a blog identified the mystery man as an upcoming musician reportedly known as Marvis LA.

Reacting to the disclosure, Nkechi accused bloggers of invading her privacy, insisting that her decision to keep her partner away from social media should have been respected.

In a video shared online, she questioned why bloggers would expose someone she had deliberately chosen not to introduce publicly.

The actress also threatened to involve her lawyers if the situation continued.

“I understand that some of you bloggers don't respect people's privacy, but if I didn't post my man and decided that I don't want him anywhere on the internet, it shouldn't be your job to do so,” she said.

She further wrote: “I think it's fine if I start using my lawyers!! You just wake up and see your private life out there just like that. Leave me alone!!”

While the musician's identity has circulated online, neither Nkechi nor the man has publicly confirmed the reported identification.

INEC Will Obey Court Ruling on Atiku’s 2027 Presidential Eligibility – Amupitan

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Amupitan, has said the commission will abide by the court's final decision on whether former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar can contest the 2027 presidential election under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Amupitan gave the assurance on Thursday, November 12, while speaking at Chatham House in London, where he was questioned about the legal dispute surrounding the ADC leadership and Atiku's presidential ambition.

The question followed a November 5 Federal High Court judgment delivered by Justice Peter Lifu, which nullified the leadership structure of the David Mark-led ADC faction and decisions taken under it, including the process that produced Atiku as the party's presidential candidate.

Responding to whether Atiku would be eligible to contest if he failed to overturn the judgment, Amupitan said INEC was constitutionally obligated to obey court orders.

“If he eventually fails, well, I'm obligated under Section 285 of the Constitution of Nigeria to obey every court order, especially if it is from the Supreme Court,” he said.

The INEC chairman acknowledged that implementing politically sensitive judicial decisions could expose the commission to public criticism, even when it was simply carrying out its legal responsibilities.

He also disclosed that INEC was dealing with more than 300 pending court cases, with approximately 66 days remaining before the 2027 elections.

Amupitan expressed concern that prolonged pre-election litigation could disrupt the commission's preparations, particularly as procurement of sensitive election materials had already commenced.

He said he had previously advocated that pre-election disputes should be resolved at least six months to one year before an election to give INEC sufficient time to organise its logistics.

Meanwhile, the ADC has rejected the Federal High Court judgment and indicated that it would challenge the decision at the Court of Appeal.

Atiku has also maintained that he remains in the 2027 presidential race despite the legal setback.

The dispute leaves the party's leadership structure and the status of decisions made under the affected faction subject to further judicial proceedings.

Dabota Lawson addresses the Five Million Naira ‘girl’s game’ she gifted her ex-bestie, Adeola Diadem, on @jermaine.og



Nigerian socialite Dabota Lawson has revisited her fallout with former best friend Adeola Diadem, addressing the controversial ₦5 million birthday gift she previously sent her, which later became a subject of public disagreement.

“#5,000,000 is really nottt my problem, but the intention behind maligning my image in that capacity was clear. Everybody could see, especially with the timing of things, two days to me launching my event in London. I mean, how much is my ticket to go to London? 




That story is now irrelevant to me in a sense, but it was a real eye-opener of how a person can really just, not in this situation, I’m just talking about overall outlook in life, that when you are growing, and when God is positioning you for greatness, you must also be prepared for the %ttack, because the enemy can use just about anybody in your season of wins. All of these is happening two days to the launch of Opulen which is my new product in London. 





Do you know what it means to have your product in the heart of London? It’s a big win, not just for me, but for my industry. And to have someone a few days before that who come out to undermine my character, you know. I mean in the end, I guess a lot people can see that for what it was.”

 It’s also used figuratively to express strong opposition or rejection. So, when #Nickiminaj says, ‘I don’t vote, I veto,’ she’s using wordplay to communicate that she doesn’t simply participate in a choice. She rejects it shuts down what str doesn’t support. The phrase is rhetorical, not a government policy announcement. You understood the words perfectly enough to get offended, but somehow couldn’t understand the figure of speech. Maybe the problem isn’t Nicki’s vocabulary, maybe it’s your comprehension. Nicki come and school this d%mmy and show him who is the queen of wordplay.”

Nicki had taken to the platform to air her thoughts, including the, ‘I don’t vote, I veto.’ after receiving heavy backlash for supporting President Donald Trump, the Republicans, and her inability to vote, as she is reportedly not an American citizen.

Ik ogbonna says These roads are not just an embarrassment- The people of Edo deserve better infrastructure



Newly engaged, IK Ogbonna has called attention to the state of infrastructure in Edo State, insisting that residents deserve better roads, public facilities and essential amenities.

The actor's statement raises questions about the quality of infrastructure available to residents and the responsibility of government to translate public resources into visible development.

Beyond the celebrity commentary, the issue touches on an everyday concern for residents: access to functional roads, reliable public services and infrastructure that supports businesses and improves quality of life.

His remarks have also brought renewed attention to the expectations citizens have of those entrusted with governing their state.


IK Ogbonna's exact quote, as reported by TVC News:


“Decided to take a road trip, and one thing I can say for certain is that Edo State, a land so rich in history, culture and heritage, has absolutely no business having roads this terrible in 2026.The people of Edo deserve better infrastructure. These roads are not just an embarrassment; they are a serious concern for the safety of everyone who uses them.Mr. Governor, what exactly is being done about these roads?2026, and we’re still dealing with this?

Portugal has lost 10million Instagram followers since Cristiano Ronaldo announced his retirement.





Cristiano Ronaldo's retirement from international football has renewed conversations about the Portuguese superstar's influence beyond the pitch, particularly his impact on the national team's global popularity and commercial appeal.

The 41-year-old announced his departure from Portugal's national team on November 5, 2026, bringing an extraordinary 23-year international career to an end.

His departure follows an earlier controversy that saw Portugal's official Instagram account lose approximately 2.3 million followers amid tensions surrounding his exit from the national team's training camp.

The decline highlighted the extent to which Ronaldo's personal following has contributed to the national team's digital visibility.

With 234 international appearances and 146 goals, Ronaldo leaves behind records that have shaped Portuguese football for more than two decades.

While claims that Portugal has lost $1.2 billion in endorsement deals remain unsubstantiated, his retirement raises an important commercial question: how much of the national team's international attention was built around one superstar?

Portugal now faces the challenge of maintaining that global appeal while building a new identity beyond its most recognisable footballer.

Sabinus Questions Local Government Chairmen Over ₦3 Billion Monthly Allocations, Demands Accountability


Sabinus is shifting the accountability conversation away from the presidency and towards the third tier of government. His argument is that citizens should also question local government chairmen, councillors, lawmakers and governors about public funds.



Nigerian comedian and skitmaker Sabinus, whose real name is Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, has challenged local government chairmen over the lack of basic infrastructure in their communities despite the substantial monthly allocations they receive.

In a video shared on Instagram on Thursday, November 12, the entertainer questioned how some local government administrations spend their funds, claiming that certain councils receive close to ₦3 billion monthly.

“Do you know that some local governments in this Nigeria take close to three billion naira every month? What are those monies used for?” he asked.

Using Rivers State, his home state, as an example, Sabinus pointed to poor roads, inadequate drainage, lack of potable water, refuse dumps and insufficient streetlights as some of the problems residents continue to experience.

He also questioned why some local governments could not provide functional streetlights and why public sports facilities remained poorly maintained despite the budgets allocated to relevant authorities.

Beyond local government chairmen, Sabinus extended his criticism to councillors, commissioners, members of the State House of Assembly, House of Representatives and governors.

He urged Nigerians to stop directing all their complaints towards the Federal Government and begin demanding explanations from elected officials responsible for governance at the grassroots level.

The comedian's message raises a broader question about public spending and service delivery: if substantial public funds are allocated to local governments every month, what tangible improvements are residents seeing in return?

“We need to start asking questions,” he wrote in the caption accompanying his video.


If your local government chairman had to present a public account of the money received every month, which project or achievement would you ask to see first?
