Lawyer Cries Out Over Fear Of Kanu Contacting Tuberculosis In Jail Prince Mandela Umegborogu, one of the lawyers of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has bitterly complained over the alleged relocation of a tuberculosis inmate near Kanu’s cell at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS. Kanu’s lawyer who spoke with Vanguard after a routine visit to the IPOB Leader on Monday expressed deep worry over the grave health implications of having a tuberculosis patient in one’s environment. He said that Kanu was highly enraged about the sad development which he alleged could be a deliberate attempt to infest him with an infectious disease. ”I met with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu today (Monday) at the DSS headquarters in Abuja, and he was complaining to me that they brought somebody suffering from tuberculosis close to his cell block. ”The patient, Emeribe Uduma was arrested in Ohafia on September 15, 2022 , and handed over to the DSS which brought him to Abuja. “Onyendu (Kanu) complained to me that that boy was suffering from tuberculosis and that he was moved near his cell block so that he would infest him and others with tuberculosis. ”You know that tuberculosis is very infectious. Do they want to infest him so he will die in detention? ”Onyendu also told me that he ( Kanu) was yesterday ( Sunday) bleeding from his nose. He requires serious attention by his personal physician.” The lawyer further said that when DSS officials came to fetch Kanu after their meeting, he raised the same complaint before them but they denied having any tuberculosis inmates around the facility. ”When we finished discussing and some DSS personnel came to take him back to his cell he raised the matter before them. ”He told them that it is immoral and inhuman to do certain things even if it’s an order from above. He told them to have a sense of their own and refuse to obey instructions that are inhuman and illegal. ”I also confronted them and told them it was wrong to bring a tuberculosis patient close to people especially those in confinement where you don’t have ventilation. But they said they had tested everybody and nobody had tuberculosis but Onyendu told them it’s a lie”. Reacting to the development, Kanu’s family has called on the international community to prevail on the Nigeria Authorities not to allow Kanu to die in detention. The family which spoke through Prince Emmanuel Kanu expressed worry over the development and renewed the call for his release in compliance with various court orders. ” They should bear in mind that Kanu is an innocent man who has been set free by the Court. Any plan to bring him down through infectious disease should be dropped. The international community should prevail on Nigeria to ensure nothing happens to him”. Meanwhile, efforts to reach the DSS were unsuccessful as the secret police Spokesman could not be accessed as at the time of filing this report.

Egbaliganza: IWA Urges Youths to Play a Greater Role in Promoting Culture and Heritage

By Adeyemi Obadimu

In a powerful call to action, the Ogun State lawmaker representing Abeokuta South Constituency II, Hon. Wasiu Sunday Ayodele, popularly known as IWA, has urged Egba sons and daughters, particularly the youth, to actively engage in the cultural practices that define the rich heritage of Egba land.

His remarks followed the successful conclusion of the 2025 Lisabi Day Festival, a significant cultural event that celebrated the traditions and history of the Egba people.

Hon. IWA, who is the Balogun Woro Of Ijeja Land at the just concluded festival is an advocate for preserving and promoting cultural identity, he praised the organizers of the festival for their exceptional work in bringing together the community to celebrate Egba culture.

“According to IWA, the Lisabi Day Festival serves as a crucial platform for showcasing the unity, values, and customs that have been passed down through generations.

“I urge all Egba youths to participate more in the cultural activities of our land,” Hon. IWA said. “The just concluded Lisabi festival was a clear reminder that our culture is an invaluable asset that binds us together as a people. It is important that we, as the younger generation, take pride in our traditions and continue to carry them forward. By participating in these cultural events, we strengthen our identity and ensure that our legacy endures.”

He said Culture plays a pivotal role in the development of any community. It shapes our values, beliefs, and way of life, serving as the foundation of our social cohesion and unity. In Egba land, culture is not only a reflection of our past but a living, evolving part of our present and future.

Culture acts as a repository for the history, stories, and values of a people. Festivals like Lisabi Day provide an opportunity to pass down knowledge and traditions to younger generations, ensuring that Egba history remains vibrant and relevant.

Hon. IWA emphasized that the youth are the future custodians of Egba culture, and their involvement in activities like the Lisabi Day Festival is crucial in ensuring that these traditions continue to thrive for generations to come.

“The future of Egba culture lies in the hands of our youth. By actively participating in cultural events and promoting our traditions, we are ensuring that the Egba legacy remains strong and proud,” he concluded.

As the Egba people look forward to more celebrations of their heritage, Hon. IWA called on all stakeholders, including government agencies, community leaders, and the youth, to work together in fostering a stronger, more vibrant cultural community.

Afrobeats Icon Davido Gets Real About Cheating, Fatherhood & Regret

“No More Wahala!” — Davido Vows to Quit Cheating, Says He’s Sticking to One Woman

Afrobeats sensation and Grammy-nominated superstar Davido has stunned fans with a public vow to put an end to his past philandering ways, declaring that he’s officially off the cheating train — for good.

Afrobeats Icon Davido Gets Real About Cheating, Fatherhood & Regret

In a candid interview on The Breakfast Club, the “Feel” hitmaker opened up about his personal life, relationships, and the lessons he’s learned after fathering five children with four different women.

“I don’t want any wahala. I have five kids with four women. I am not cheating again,” Davido stated firmly, sending shockwaves through social media and the entertainment space.

The music star, who is married to longtime partner Chioma Rowland, admitted that his past choices came with heavy consequences — emotionally and reputationally — and he’s now choosing peace and commitment over chaos.

“Maybe I’ve had a bad experience. Sometimes experience is the best teacher. It’s not worth it,” he confessed, as he recounted turbulent moments from his past.

While many in his family have embraced polygamy — with some uncles married to multiple wives living under the same roof — Davido made it clear that such a path isn’t for him.

“In my family, a lot of my uncles have two, three wives and they’re all living together. But me, I no fit. I no want stress,” he said with a laugh.

Davido shares his first daughter, Imade Adeleke, with businesswoman Sophia Momodu; his second daughter, Hailey Veronica Adeleke, with Amanda; a son, Dawson, with UK-based model Larissa London; and recently welcomed twins with Chioma, his wife.

Despite being frequently in the spotlight for both his musical genius and romantic entanglements, Davido’s declaration marks a notable shift in public perception — from Afrobeats’ wild child to a man choosing stability.

Whether fans believe the transformation or not, one thing’s clear: Davido is rewriting the script — and this time, he’s not sharing the lead role.

No Bad Blood? Davido Softens Tone on Tiwa Savage Fallout

No Bad Blood? Davido Softens Tone on Tiwa Savage Fallout

“It Was Like Sibling Drama” — Davido Breaks Silence on Tiwa Savage Feud After Months of Tension

Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has finally addressed the months-long rift between him and fellow music icon Tiwa Savage — a feud that had taken fans and the industry by storm.

Speaking during a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, Davido downplayed the incident that led to Tiwa Savage filing a formal complaint against him with the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, following reports that the “Unavailable” crooner allegedly sent threatening messages to the singer.

The tension reportedly erupted after Tiwa Savage was seen hanging out with Sophia Momodu, Davido’s estranged baby mama. According to sources close to the matter, Davido took offense and warned Tiwa to “be careful in Lagos” — a comment she interpreted as a threat to her safety.

However, in his first public comment on the issue, Davido described the altercation as a “minor misunderstanding,” comparing it to typical arguments between siblings.

“Me and Tiwa used to stay in the same house. It was like brothers and sisters arguing. It was nothing,” Davido said, brushing off any insinuations of a lasting grudge.

Though the two stars have not seen each other since the clash, Davido revealed that Tiwa Savage had reached out to him, leaving the door open for a future reconciliation.

“If the link-up happens, it happens,” he added.

The controversy had previously sparked a firestorm on social media, with fans of both artistes taking sides and speculating over the possible fallout between two of Afrobeats’ most celebrated voices.

While neither party has gone into full detail about the content of their exchanges, Tiwa Savage’s decision to involve law enforcement had raised serious questions about safety, loyalty, and personal boundaries in the ever-intertwined Nigerian music scene.

With Davido’s latest remarks, however, it appears the dust may finally be settling — or at least paused — as fans await what could be an eventual public reunion of the Afrobeats giants.
