Grammy Award winner, Burna Boy has explained why he abruptly quit the stage during his performance at the Greater Lagos Countdown 2025.

“Everybody knows my rule about getting on stage and startling me when I’m performing.
“I had an amazing time with Lagos State last night.
“Don’t jump on my stage like that! I got PTSD. I love you all. Happy New Year.”

Nigerian banks’ charges need to be challenged – Comedian AY

The actor noted that some of the service fees are peculiar to Nigeria, stressing that they need to be challenged.
On his X handle, AY wrote, “Where do banks get the trillions they declare as profits every quarter, even in a struggling economy? The small charges and debits on our accounts need to be challenged. Many of these fees are unique to Nigeria. Why is that? #BankingFees #Nigeria #Transparency #Shalom”

Edo killings: We can’t be counting scores with lives of Nigerians – Mr Macaroni

Popular content creator, Mr Macaroni said those defending the mob killings of 16 travellers in Uromi, Edo State are doing a great disservice to the nation.
He said there is no justification for jungle justice, noting that it must be unanimously condemned.
Mr Macaroni stated this in an X post on Monday.
“Dearest Nigerians, please we must resist the urge to defend evil of any kind.
“Crime is Crime!Whenever we justify crime, we open the door for criminals to keep committing crime.
“We cannot be counting scores with the lives of Nigerians while those that are responsible for safeguarding the lives of the people continue to play politics.
The mobbing and killing of the 16 northern hunters in Edo State is evil just as any previous attack on the lives of Edo people is also evil.
“The killing or destruction of lives and properties of any Nigerian in any state is evil!”
He added, “We have a duty to speak against evil at all times whether it affects us or not lest we lose our humanity.”

“I can’t come online to cry because many of them will laugh at me because they have been waiting for this moment. Mummy, I need ur strength right now.
“I can’t say much here on the internet; all I need now is more strength,” he concluded.
