Governor Bello Matawalle: Redefining Frontiers of Governance and Development
According to a report titled: Governor Bello Matawalle: Redefining Frontiers of Governance and Development, By Bashir Maru and published by PREMIUM TIMES

His Excellency, Dr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle, emerged Governor of Zamfara State when the state was on the brink of socioeconomic collapse. Prior to May 29th, 2019, Zamfara citizens were marooned between the devil and the deep blue sea: this was literally symbolized by the pillaging administration of the time and the rampaging bandits unleashing terror on another end.
Zamfara was hitherto synonymous with sanctioned state looting, banditry, endemic poverty, hunger, disease, palpable social discontent and all-round retrogression. It boasted of the highest maternal and infant mortality rate in Sub-Saharan Africa; an incontestable position down the ladder of human development index, and other accompaniments of failed leadership.
But when His Excellency Dr. Matawalle heeded the divine call, he hit the ground running. Within one year, the gloomy trends have been supplanted by a new era of peace, progress and prosperity for all.
Today, Zamfara is earning accolades as a global model for good governance. Governor Matawalle’s achievements have stunned critics and cynics, restored hope to a fragmented populace and set Zamfara on the pedestal of socioeconomic recovery and growth.
It is noteworthy to highlight some key achievements of the Governor Matawalle Administration in just one year, as follows:
Security
Considering that sustainable development cannot be achieved amid insecurity, Governor Matawalle moved to address the lingering insecurity challenge, which had cast Zamfara negatively in the global spotlight.
The Governor met with President Muhammad Buhari and Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. He also met with the Service Chiefs; the Hon. Minister of Defence; traditional rulers, community and religious leaders; leaders of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN); Civilian Joint Tax Force (CJTF) and other notable stakeholders. His subsequent negotiations facilitated the release of over 800 captives, including several expatriates, by bandits.
To consolidate the new found peace, the Government spearheaded the disarmament of bandits, resulting in the handover of a cache of sophisticated arms and ammunition to the State Government.

Plagiarism or Misunderstanding? Dayo Amusa Faces Backlash Over Stolen Post Allegations!

Plagiarism or Misunderstanding? Dayo Amusa Faces Backlash Over Stolen Post Allegations!

Dayo Amusa Accused of Plagiarism by Esther Ijewere in Social Media Clash Over Asake Post

Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has found herself at the center of a heated controversy after media strategist Esther Ijewere accused her of plagiarism. The drama unfolded when Ijewere claimed that Amusa copied and shared her heartfelt social media post about singer Asake and his father without giving proper credit.

The Plagiarism Allegation

Ijewere had initially shared an emotional and deeply reflective post on Facebook at 1:15 AM on March 15, where she spoke about Asake’s childhood struggles, the emotional weight of family issues, and the psychological effects of parental rejection. Hours later, Amusa reposted the exact same write-up, word for word, on her own Facebook and Instagram pages—without mentioning Ijewere as the original author.

As the post gained traction, with blogs crediting Amusa as the writer, Ijewere publicly called her out.

“Dear Dayo Amusa, you took my post from my Facebook page and shared it as your own on Facebook and Instagram without giving me proper credit. Please, do the right thing and acknowledge my work. It’s important to respect and credit the original creator.”

Amusa later deleted the post from her Facebook page but left it up on Instagram without acknowledging Ijewere as the rightful author, further escalating tensions.

Amusa’s Response: Defiance and Dismissal

Rather than offering an apology or a clarification, Amusa fired back at Ijewere in the comments section, dismissing the accusations and taking a combative stance.

“E dey pain you say I no tag your name abi. Pele baby!!!”

She claimed she had merely reshared content she had seen on a friend’s WhatsApp status and was unaware of its original source.

“Like I told you in your DM earlier. I don’t know you, let alone knowing you were the original writer. It was copied from a friend’s WhatsApp, and I even screenshot am for you to see. I felt the need to share to a wider audience coz I related so well with the circumstances. I am sure you & your soldiers aren’t blind to see the #copied at the end of the post, meaning I take no credit to the post.”

Adding more fuel to the fire, Amusa mocked the situation further, saying:

“How market? Enjoying the gbasgbos? Have fun and enjoy it while it lasts.”

Backlash and Public Outcry

Amusa’s response has sparked a wave of backlash, with many social media users condemning her for not giving proper credit and for her dismissive tone.

  • @femi_writes: “You don’t just copy and paste someone’s hard work and expect them to be okay with it. Give credit where it’s due!”
  • @lola_baddie: “The audacity of Dayo Amusa is wild! Instead of apologizing, she’s doubling down. Plagiarism is plagiarism.”
  • @asake_fanpage: “Madam, you stole someone’s post, got caught, and you’re acting like the victim? Wow.”
  • @naijagistlover: “The #copied at the end doesn’t excuse not crediting the real author. Do better.”

As the backlash continues to grow, it remains to be seen whether Amusa will eventually acknowledge Ijewere’s authorship or continue to stand her ground. One thing is certain—the internet never forgets, and this scandal isn’t fading anytime soon.

Skit Maker Oluwadolarz Breaks Silence with Cryptic Message Amid Ex-Fiancée’s Explosive Accusations

Skit Maker Oluwadolarz Breaks Silence with Cryptic Message Amid Ex-Fiancée’s Explosive Accusations

Skit Maker Oluwadolarz Breaks Silence with Cryptic Message Amid Ex-Fiancée’s Explosive Accusations

Popular skit maker and content creator, Oluwadolarz, has finally broken his silence following the heated controversy surrounding his breakup with his ex-fiancée, Ifeluv.

Days after Ifeluv publicly called off their engagement, accusing him of being a serial cheater, Oluwadolarz had chosen to remain silent—until now.

In a cryptic social media post, the comedian shared a deep reflection on how people’s attitudes shift when wealth fades, hinting at betrayal and changing loyalties.

The Drama Unfolds

It all started when Ifeluv took to Instagram to expose what she claimed was Oluwadolarz’s repeated infidelity. According to her, she could no longer tolerate the alleged betrayals and, despite interventions from her would-be mother-in-law, she stood her ground and ended their relationship.

While Ifeluv’s emotional outburst dominated social media conversations, Oluwadolarz stayed mute—until his latest post, which many believe is a subtle response to the ongoing saga.

Oluwadolarz Speaks

Taking to his social media page, the comedian wrote:

“When a man has wealth, he’s often revered like royalty; but when same wealth fades, respect quickly vanishes. The same people that used to say ‘Thanks for everything, you are the best’… they change their tone to ‘What have you ever done for me? Who you be sef?’”
“It’s a lesson I’ve learned firsthand. May we never become a thing of the past. We keep pushing.”

Though he did not directly mention Ifeluv, many netizens believe his post was a veiled reaction to the scandal and the way his ex-fiancée went public with their private matters.

Social Media Reactions

Oluwadolarz’s post has sparked mixed reactions online, with some sympathizing with him, while others accused him of playing the victim.

  • @itz_onyinye: “So instead of addressing the allegations, you’re talking about wealth and respect? We need answers, sir!”
  • @king_steven: “This is why you should always be careful who you let into your circle. When things go south, they’ll act like you never did anything for them.”
  • @realife_blogger: “Omo, na another story be this. What happened to the cheating allegations?”
  • @ifeoma_rants: “Ifeluv gave him premium breakfast and he’s here talking about wealth. It is well.”

As the controversy continues, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Oluwadolarz will address the allegations head-on or maintain his indirect approach.

Karma or Cruelty? Asake’s Estranged Father Cries Out for Financial Help After Suffering Stroke

Karma or Cruelty? Asake’s Estranged Father Cries Out for Financial Help After Suffering Stroke

Karma or Cruelty? Asake’s Estranged Father Cries Out for Financial Help After Suffering Stroke

A storm of controversy has erupted on social media after a video surfaced of Mr. Fatai Odunsi, the estranged father of Nigerian music sensation Asake, pleading for financial help after suffering a partial stroke. The emotional appeal has sparked heated debates, as reports suggest that Mr. Odunsi allegedly abandoned the singer during his childhood.

The video, which has gone viral, shows the ailing man calling on Nigerians for assistance to seek medical treatment, his speech and movement visibly impaired. However, instead of sympathy, many online users have reacted with scorn, questioning why he now seeks help when he reportedly failed to be there for his son.

Public Outrage and Reactions

Social media has been ablaze with opinions, with many insisting that Mr. Odunsi should face the consequences of his past actions.

A Twitter user, @Lord_Of_Warri, harshly remarked:
“Let him take care of himself like his son took care of himself when he abandoned him.”

Another, @djtoxiq_, echoed similar sentiments, saying:
“Left him when he was 2, someone that is already a fully formed man. Sir, you could have just maintained that same energy that kept you away from your son.”

Some took a more sarcastic tone, like @Mhajid93, who posted:
“Panel of judges, I’m here to read y’all takes on this. Then compile all and forward to Asake for possible future consideration. Make your takes short and precise. Asake no like long notes. Thank you!”

Meanwhile, @lesh_szajna added fuel to the fire, joking:
“Asake stingy gan. Only those that listen to his lyrics can relate. He can’t even help his own dad—run away from friends and family.”

A Painful Family History?

While Asake has never publicly spoken about his father, sources claim that Mr. Odunsi was absent from his life for most of his upbringing. The singer, known for his hit songs and relentless hustle in the music industry, reportedly built his success from the ground up without any parental support from his father’s side.

Now, as his father battles health challenges, many Nigerians are divided—should Asake offer help or ignore a man who allegedly turned his back on him years ago?

A Moral Dilemma

This unfolding drama raises larger questions about family responsibility, forgiveness, and karma. Should Asake, now a wealthy and successful musician, extend a helping hand despite their fractured relationship? Or is this a classic case of reaping what one has sown?

The ball is in Asake’s court, but one thing is certain—the internet never forgets, and Nigerians are watching closely.
