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.

Waris Olayinka Akinwande, popularly known as Ola of Lagos, has explained why he continues to live in a rented apartment despite owning several houses. Speaking on The KK Show, the Nigerian influencer and entrepreneur revealed that he has never spent a night in any house purchased with his own money.

According to Ola, living in his own house might make him too comfortable and reduce his motivation to work harder. He therefore chooses to remain in rented accommodation, using the financial responsibility of paying rent as an incentive to pursue greater success.

Ola disclosed that he pays ₦50 million annually in rent. Although this expense is considerable, he views it as a source of discipline and determination. His decision reflects his belief that personal comfort can sometimes weaken ambition, while financial obligations can encourage continued effort.

His perspective highlights the importance of motivation in achieving success. By deliberately maintaining a demanding financial commitment, Ola believes he can remain focused, driven, and committed to expanding his achievements.

Popular streamer and content creator Carter Efe has revealed that Afrobeats star Davido once warned him against insulting fellow singer Wizkid.

Speaking during a recent interview, Carter Efe dismissed claims that Davido encourages his criticism of Wizkid. He said the singer had personally advised him to stop attacking his colleague.

“Davido messaged me and asked me never to insult Wizkid again. People think he’s the one asking me to insult Wizkid,” Carter Efe said.

The revelation comes amid Carter Efe’s recent comments about his strained relationship with Wizkid and his public admiration for Davido, whom he described in a separate interview as his “helper” and “daddy.”

Carter Efe also stated that Davido remains accessible to him and recently answered one of his phone calls. He insisted that he would never betray the singer.

His remarks have sparked reactions online, particularly among fans of Davido and Wizkid, whose perceived rivalry has remained a major topic in Nigerian popular culture. While some fans believe the revelation clears Davido of involvement in Carter Efe’s comments, others urged the streamer to stop discussing Wizkid and avoid fuelling fan wars.

The development has once again highlighted the intense interest surrounding the relationship between two of Nigeria’s biggest Afrobeats stars.
