Nigeria at 61: Nothing to celebrate — Seun Kuti

Nigeria-Famous Afrobeat Musician, Seun Kuti, said that there is nothing much to celebrate, owing to the near-collapse of our dear nation, Nigeria.

Seun Kuti who is also the convener of a group, Movement of The People, noted that Nigeria is near collapse as the high level of hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and corruption is ‘worrisome’.

He said, “It is fitting to bring you all warm solidarity greetings as we celebrate the 61st anniversary of our dear nation! Even though there is nothing to celebrate, owing to the near-collapse in the state of our dear nation. Celebrate

“With the worrisome level of hunger, insecurity, high rate of unemployment, and wanton looting, the celebration of today’s anniversary calls for a sober reflection and the need to re-organize ourselves to get involved in the democratic process with the view to set the nation on the road to recovery.”

The Grammy award nominee took the opportunity to urge Nigerians who are of voting age to participate in the voting process in other to make Nigeria great again.

“The decision to get Nigeria working from this moribund and mechanistic level is in our ‘thumbs’ and it is neither in the bombs nor bullets. The Movement of The People has now given every Nigerian of voting age the political platform to chose credible leaders across the 36 States and 774 local government of the federation,” Kuti said.

Giving some statistics, the musician claimed that Nigeria had become the ‘poverty capital of the world’. He said that as the ongoing voter registration has begun, all eligible Nigerians must get their voters card.

Kuti said, “In 1960, the poverty level was at 15 percent, but today, the poverty level is 50 percent, thereby making the Giant of Africa the poverty capital of the world. In Fela Anikulapo’s voice, ‘as time de go things just de bad, poor man de cry’. May the Legendary Abami Eda’s soul continue to rest in peace!

“The ongoing voter’s registration exercise is the starting point and all eligible Nigerians must get their voters card as the 2023 election has given us an ample opportunity as a people to collectively unite using the M.O.P as a platform to dislodge dealers called leaders.”

Tears and Tiaras: Family Holds Pink-Themed Funeral for Beloved Dog, Sparks Viral Frenzy

 

In a heartwarming yet controversial tribute, a family held a lavish pink-themed funeral for their beloved canine companion, sending shockwaves across social media.

The emotional ceremony—complete with framed photos, bouquets of fresh flowers, and tearful eulogies—was a touching farewell to a dog that had been more than a pet; it was family.

In a now-viral video, mourners—both human and canine—gathered in solemn unity as the small pink casket lay at the center of the room. Guests brought their own dogs to “pay last respects,” adding to the surreal atmosphere of love, grief, and luxury.

The event has since sparked a wave of mixed reactions online.

One user, @OloriOfOloris, criticized the display:

“This is what happens when you don’t have what to do with money.”

But another, @Divinefcb, offered a different take:

“This is what happens when the government is too good and you have money.”

While some called it extravagant, others defended the family’s right to mourn their pet however they chose, pointing out that for many, pets are more loyal than people.

The viral funeral has reignited conversations about how society views grief, class, and the lengths people go to honor loved ones—furry or not.

Ajadi Mourns Olubadan, Describes Monarch as Symbol of Peace and Unity

A South-West chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, describing the late monarch as a symbol of peace, wisdom, and cultural pride.

Oba Olakulehin died in the early hours of Monday at the age of 90, during ongoing celebrations marking both his 90th birthday and first anniversary on the throne.

In a statement made available to newsmen on Monday, Ajadi said the revered traditional ruler left behind a legacy of purposeful leadership and selfless service to the people of Ibadan and the Yoruba race.

“It is with a heavy heart and profound sense of loss that I join the good people of Ibadanland, Oyo State, and indeed the entire Yoruba nation, in mourning the passing of our revered monarch,” Ajadi stated.

According to him, though Oba Olakulehin’s reign was relatively brief, it was marked by wisdom, unity, and cultural revitalization.

“Oba Olakulehin embodied the essence of royalty – calm, deliberate, and fatherly in all his dealings. He led by example and inspired many with his wealth of experience and dedication to the progress of Ibadanland,” he added.

Ajadi noted that the monarch’s death during his milestone celebrations was both symbolic and painful, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life and the enduring impact of a life well spent.

He extended his condolences to the Olubadan-in-Council, the people of Ibadanland, and the entire Oyo State traditional institution, praying for comfort and strength for all who mourn.

“May the soul of our departed monarch rest in perfect peace. And may the Almighty comfort all who mourn his passing, and guide the leadership of Ibadanland as we navigate this moment of collective grief,” he said.

Ajadi also called on traditional and political leaders to uphold the late monarch’s legacy of peace and unity as the process of succession begins.
