Timaya claims that Eedris Abdulkareem talks excessively and that people do not respect him.
In a recent interview, Afrobeats star Timaya made headlines with his candid remarks regarding veteran singer Eedris Abdulkareem. Timaya asserted that Abdulkareem’s reputation within the music industry suffers due to his outspoken nature, suggesting that this has led to a lack of respect from his peers.
When the host drew a comparison between Timaya and Abdulkareem, noting that both artists command a certain level of caution from others, Timaya was quick to clarify his stance. He remarked, “I don’t talk like Eedris. I don’t behave like him…. Nobody is afraid of him because he talks too much.” This statement underscores Timaya’s belief that respect is earned through behavior rather than mere notoriety.
Further elaborating on his relationship with Abdulkareem, Timaya emphasized a professional dynamic, describing their past interactions as those of “boss and apprentice.” He acknowledged Abdulkareem’s influence on his early career but noted the absence of a deeper personal connection. “I have never had any problem with Eedris,” he stated, reflecting on their time together in the band. Timaya expressed a desire for mutual respect, urging that individuals in positions of authority should treat their subordinates with kindness and consideration.
In conclusion, Timaya’s comments not only highlight his perspective on respect within the music industry but also serve as a reminder of the importance of fostering positive relationships, regardless of one’s status. The dialogue between these two artists illustrates the complexities of interpersonal dynamics in a competitive field.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
