Nigerian Afrobeats singer Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, has explained why he temporarily stepped away from music. Responding to a fan on X, the singer revealed that his absence was connected to the death of his mother earlier this year, rather than preparations for a new album.

A fan had speculated that Kizz Daniel was busy working on an album, prompting his brief pause. However, the singer clarified that he had taken time away to mourn his mother. He stated that although her death had deeply affected him, he had to remain strong for the rest of his family and apologised for his late return to the music scene.

The disclosure highlights the personal grief behind his professional absence. It also follows his earlier revelation that his wife lost her mother in 2024. Despite these family tragedies, Kizz Daniel appears determined to continue his career while supporting his loved ones.

Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has disclosed that online bullying influenced her decision to publicly support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last presidential election. Speaking during an interview with Chude, she criticised Nigerians for attacking individuals because of their political choices.

Akintola explained that the backlash directed at veteran actress Joke Silva for supporting Tinubu particularly affected her. Describing the criticism as harsh and inhumane, she decided to declare her own support for Tinubu despite the possibility of further attacks.

The actress condemned the growing intolerance surrounding political discussions in Nigeria. She argued that citizens have the right to hold different opinions and support candidates of their choice without being harassed or insulted.

Her comments highlight the need for maturity and respect in political discourse. Democracy depends on the freedom to express diverse views, and disagreement should not result in bullying or personal attacks. Nigerians should therefore learn to engage in political discussions constructively while respecting the choices of others.

Nigerian media personality Nedu Wazobia has described survival in Nigeria as a daily struggle, reflecting the severe economic hardship facing many citizens. Rising costs of school fees, rent, food, transportation, fuel, and healthcare have placed considerable pressure on families.

According to Nedu, many workers receive their salaries only to watch them disappear quickly because of overwhelming financial responsibilities. This situation has forced some people into desperate actions, including betrayal, dishonesty, and other harmful choices. He emphasized that such behaviour is often driven not by wickedness but by the urgent need to survive.

Nedu’s comments highlight the growing frustration among Nigerians who work hard yet struggle to meet basic needs. Citizens are not demanding miracles; they are asking for an economy in which honest work provides security and dignity. A stable economy should enable parents to care for their children and allow ordinary people to face the future with less fear and greater hope.
