According to Adeyinka, the Grand Comedian of the Federal Republic (GCFR), this year’s tour is coming with a lot of initiatives that will make it different from past editions. He noted that the 2025 tour of Laffmattazz with Gbenga Adeyinka & Friends will be global with the addition of countries like the UK, the US, and Canada after touring the routine cities in Nigeria.
“We thought it was important to explore international best practices and luckily, we got in contact with this amazing company called FunZweb.com. It’s a very innovative site and one of the things they do is ticket sales and promotion, and that is where we are partnering with them. Going forward, they will be the only ones selling our tickets online.
“The caliber of people behind the brand (FunZ) is one of the things that fascinated me. The passion and zeal with which they work really got me. I have also gone to their site, FunZweb.com; it’s very innovative and amazing. Since the world is going online, that is the place to be. They also have very lofty ideas. Like I said, they will be the only ones selling our tickets online, and the incentive they’re giving us is very rewarding.
“The man behind FunZ is someone with international experience. He has done this with other platforms across the world before deciding that it was time for him to bring his wealth of experience back home to Nigeria. For me to have committed to them, I see a company with eyes on the future and I think they should be one of the top two in Nigeria in no time,” Adeyinka concluded.

Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK-Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
There’s a hot gossip in town involving an alleged secret romance between star Fuji musician, Abass Akande Obesere and UK based popular talkshow host, Oluyinka Ayanda a.k.a. Yinka TNT.
According to insiders, friends of Obesere are worried about the potential consequences of the alleged secret affair for his marriage; the associated scandal, heartbreak and the impact on his reputation as his wife was already in the know and reportedly spoiling for a showdown.
Sources said the clandestine nature of the saga makes it difficult to know how long their affair has been going on and how often the lovebirds meet or interact.
Speaking on the rumour, an ally of Yinka who didn’t want to be named for confidential reasons, said “it is not impossible”, adding that though it wasn’t a public topic yet.
“A single lady romancing a married man is part of socializing, especially if both of them have always known and supportive of each other,” the source quipped.
Yinka is a single, career woman with kids while Obesere is married. Thus, a close relationship between such high-profile celebrities who interestingly are also showbiz aficionados, is bound to attract intense media attention and public speculation.
Calls made to both Yinka and Obesere to confirm the authenticity of this information went unanswered while text messages sent to their known mobile telephone numbers were not replied as at press time.
