Super Eagles forward player, Victor Osimhen has continued to put his name in the hearts of football fans around the world.
The Nigerian has been on fire since he joined the Serie A side from Ligue 1 side Lille. Osimhen scored his eighth consecutive league game in the top-flight league in Italy. The last player to achieve such a feat in the league is Cristiano Ronaldo.
Manchester United, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs that are tracking the Nigerian, but Osimhen is very happy at Napoli. Clubs will need to persuade the player. He has scored 19 goals in 20 league games.
The Song for Nigeria as she prepares for its elections once again. It’s the hit single, “Strong Together” by three International Gospel Heavyweights – Joe Praize, Frank Edwards and Nikki Laoye.
The song was earlier released in 2015 during the Presidential elections and its message still rings out strong and true as Nigeria comes full circle once again, preparing to elect a new President tomorrow.
“Strong Together” is the anthem for the season as the award winning artists belt out words of encouragement to fellow Nigerians, encouraging them to VOTE & NOT FIGHT but come together in unity at this crucial time in the country.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Joe Praize shares:
“In this very trying moments in our democracy, I have come to love my country Nigeria the more, knowing that there is a brighter tomorrow that can only be achieved when we all understand that we are STRONG TOGETHER.”
As Nigerians, we must all understand that our strength is in our unity. We MUST all STAND TOGETHER and be STRONG TOGETHER…
Together, We declare Peace to Nigeria during this elections and beyond as we all go out to vote our country into the greatness she was created for.
Tekno has started the new year where he left off in 2022 and with two features already under his belt, he’s now come out with his first single of the year titled “Freetown.”

American singer Robert Sylvester Kelly, known as R. Kelly, has gotten an additional 20-year jail term.
Kelly is already serving a 30-year sentence for racketeering and sex trafficking after being found guilty by a Brooklyn jury in a previous federal trial.
According to the Chicago judge’s decision, all but one year of the new sentence will be served concurrently with the old one. His lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, is appealing both of Kelly’s federal convictions.
The initial convictions
R. Kelly was convicted in September 2022 on six of the 13 counts alleged in the Chicago trial: three counts of producing child pornography and three of enticement of a minor.
A federal jury cleared the singer of seven additional counts, including the accusation that he interfered with justice during a prior trial. A jury found the singer not guilty in the 2008 child pornography case after Kelly and two former collaborators were accused of manipulating the proceedings.
One year after Kelly’s conviction in New York for routinely enlisting girls and women for sex, he was found guilty on federal charges in Chicago. As the first significant sex assault trial where the majority of the accusers were black women, that verdict was generally seen as a turning point for the #MeToo movement.
It was also the first time Kelly was charged with the abuse of women and children, which had long been rumored.
On Saturday, 25th February 2023, Nigerians across the 36 states and the federal capital territory are heading to the polls to elect a new president. Here are 5 songs that should be on your election day playlist.
If you’re set to exercise your franchise, music is a good way to stay entertained while you sparing the hours required to carry out your civic duty.
Here are 10 songs that can help you stay motivated and entertained on election day.
1. ‘4 Instance’ by 2Baba
This classic record draws attention to the social and political issues plaguing Nigeria and which has continued to relegate it to the backdrop in the comity of nations.
This song will inspire you to not only vote but also to ensure your vote counts as you make your contribution to salvaging the country from its current state.
2. ‘Shey Na Like This’ by Wande Coal
This song asks a burning question that requires a sincere retrospective response from Nigerians. With the country currently far from where it should be, this song will inspire you to go out and vote in the hope of having a new leadership that will steer Nigeria in the right direction.
3. ‘Jaga Jaga’ by Eedris Abdulkareem
When Eedris Abdulkareem released ‘Jaga Jaga,’ the single resonated with Nigerians and quickly became a hit.
18 years after ‘Jaga Jaga,’ Nigeria has suffered a further decline, and the poverty rate has significantly increased. ‘Jaga jaga’ captures the state of the nation in 2004 and it does today, and this painful lack of progress should inspire you to go out and vote.
4. ‘Jailer’ by Asa
Asa’s ‘Jailer’ is a sober reminder of the metaphorical jail that’s Nigeria and how Nigerians are locked in a psychological, economic, social, and religious jail.
This song should spur you to grab your PVC and head to your polling unit in a bid to free Nigeria from the ideological, economic, and religious incarceration in the hands of the political elite.
5. ‘Mr. President’ by African China
This song is still as fresh in memory and relevant today as it was when it was released in 2006. ‘Mr. President’ was African China’s reminder to the political class to govern rightly and ensure there’s justice, fairness, and equity in the land irrespective of status, religion, or creed.
It should be a reminder of why you need to vote and demand good governance.
Erik Ten Hag has given his opinion on Manchester United’s Round of 16 Europa League draw against Real Betis.
The Red Devils booked a spot in the next round of the competition following their 2-1 victory over Barcelona at Old Trafford. He said the club will give their best in the game so they can progress to the next round of the competition.
I just heard and we played them in the pre-season after the winter break, and you know what you get from Spanish football. We faced it yesterday. It is a playing team, a skillful team, so we will have to play our best. We also played Real Sociedad this season and so we know, only when you play your best, you have a chance to survive and to get into the next round. So, we will go deeper when we face them. First, we have to put the energy and the focus into the next games, and games [after that], because first, we have the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup, and then the Premier League.
Ten Hag is on the verge of winning a title for Manchester United when he faces Newcastle United on Sunday, February 26th in the final of the Carabao Cup.
