  • Once upon a time, Psquare ruled the Nigerian music scene.
    Two brothers. One sound. Countless hits.
    Do Me, No One Like You, Beautiful Onyinye, Personally — the list goes on.

    They weren’t just good…
    They were unstoppable.
    Africa’s biggest duo. Stadiums filled. Awards piled.
    Even Beyoncé’s dad wanted to manage them!

    Then came the split…
    And just like that, the magic was gone.
    The hits slowed down. The energy shifted.
    Two powerful voices — now singing alone.

    Years later, they reconciled. And guess what?
    That spark came back. That chemistry? Still alive.
    Because together, they were greater than they ever were apart.

    Moral lesson?
    Unity builds. Malice breaks.
    No matter how talented you are alone, bitterness will drain you.
    But love, forgiveness, and unity?
    They multiply your power.

  • In 2011, Terry G was the hottest name in Nigerian music.
    And Davido was just an upcoming artist

    Fast forward to today…
    Davido isn’t just big — he’s GLOBAL.
    A billionaire.
    A multi-award-winning artist.
    One of the loudest voices pushing Afrobeats to the world.

    Meanwhile, some names we once worshipped are now fighting to stay relevant.

    But does that mean Terry G wasn’t talented?
    Absolutely NOT.

    This is your reminder: never look down on anyone.
    The person you ignore today might be the one opening doors for you tomorrow.
    Life is unpredictable. Timing is divine. Destiny is different for everyone.

    Stay humble. Stay focused.
    And above all, never write anyone off — their chapter might just be beginning.

  • Pius Ikedia: The Diminutive Dynamo of Nigerian Football

    Pius Nelson Ikedia, born on July 11, 1980, in Lagos, Nigeria, is a retired professional footballer best known for his blistering pace, flair, and creativity on the right flank. Though modest in stature at 1.66 meters, Ikedia’s presence on the pitch was anything but small. His speed, agility, and dribbling ability made him one of Nigeria’s most exciting wingers during his playing years.

    Early Career and Rise to Prominence

    Ikedia began his football journey on the streets of Lagos and quickly rose through the ranks at Bendel Insurance, a club renowned for grooming local talents. His impressive displays earned him a move to ASEC Mimosas in Ivory Coast, where he further honed his skills and attracted the attention of European scouts.

    In 1999, his big break came when Ajax Amsterdam signed him a significant achievement for a young Nigerian footballer at the time. Although he struggled to cement a regular starting spot at the Dutch giants, his speed and technique showed promise, particularly in his early appearances.

    European Club Career

    Ikedia spent six seasons in the Netherlands, playing for Ajax, Groningen (on loan), RBC Roosendaal, and AZ Alkmaar, among others. Some of his career highlights include:
    • Ajax (1999–2005) – 25 league appearances, 2 goals
    • Groningen (Loan, 2002–03) – 27 appearances, 1 goal
    • RBC Roosendaal – Over two seasons, he played 53 games and scored 5 goals
    • AZ Alkmaar & RKC Waalwijk (Loan) – 12 appearances combined

    He also had brief spells outside the Netherlands, featuring for Metalurh Donetsk in Ukraine, AZAL in Azerbaijan, and Mağusa Türk Gücü in Northern Cyprus. Ikedia concluded his career playing amateur football in the Netherlands, officially retiring in 2016.

    International Career with the Super Eagles

    Ikedia was a key figure in the Nigerian national setup in the early 2000s, earning 15 caps and scoring one goal for the Super Eagles between 1997 and 2004.

    He represented Nigeria at several major tournaments:
    • 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney
    • 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan featured in group-stage matches, including high-profile games against Argentina and England
    • 2004 African Cup of Nations made appearances in the tournament as Nigeria pushed for continental glory

    While not always a first-choice starter, Ikedia brought energy and pace off the bench, often changing the tempo of games.

    Health Scare and Resilience

    In August 2016, Ikedia suffered a major health scare during an exhibition match in the Netherlands involving former Ajax players. He collapsed on the pitch and was immediately resuscitated. Thankfully, he survived the ordeal and recovered fully a testament to his resilience both on and off the field.

    Legacy

    Though his name may not be mentioned among the all-time greats of Nigerian football, Pius Ikedia’s career remains a story of talent, determination, and heart. From the dusty fields of Lagos to the iconic stadiums of Europe and international tournaments, he earned his place in the rich tapestry of African football.

    Fans will forever remember him for his electric pace, fearless dribbling, and his unwavering passion for the beautiful game.

  • BREAKING: Akpabio’s Shocking Blunder: Nigerians impressed with Tinubu's "bur!al" instead of Buhari

    While speaking to Nigerians, Senate President Godswill Akpabio accidentally referred to the country being impressed with Tinubu’s "burial"—when "he actually meant Buhari’s.

    This is the second major slip-up, following Imo State Governor’s earlier prayer for Tinubu’s soul to rest in peace, mistakenly thinking he was the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

    Now, Nigerians are wondering:
    Why do our top officials keep making this mix-up?
    Is it just a simple slip of the tongue, or is there something more to this odd trend?

  • 'Let's Give Igbo A Chance'— Obasanjo’s Shocking Massage Over Nigerian Presidency

    In the quiet of his Abeokuta residence, former President Olusegun Obasanjo sat with a delegation of southern leaders from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), their voices mingling with the weight of a nation’s struggles. The air was heavy with purpose as Obasanjo, a elder statesman whose words still carry the resonance of decades in Nigeria’s political arena, delivered a sobering diagnosis: Nigeria, under President Bola Tinubu, remains a nation in bondage, shackled by insecurity, economic turmoil, and the divisive grip of ethnic-based politics.

    His voice, steady yet laced with urgency, painted a vivid picture of a country adrift. “We have had Fulani Nigerian presidents, Hausa Nigerian presidents, Yoruba Nigerian presidents,” Obasanjo said, pausing for emphasis, “but we have not yet experienced a genuine Nigerian president—one who represents everyone, not just their ethnic group.” The room fell silent, the gravity of his words settling over the visitors, who had come seeking counsel ahead of the 2027 general elections.

    Obasanjo’s message was clear: Nigeria’s challenges—banditry ravaging communities, an economy teetering on the edge, and tribalism fueling division—persist because its leaders have too often prioritized personal gain over national unity. “Our problems will persist until we take action,” he warned, his tone a blend of frustration and resolve. He spoke of a nation not only failing its own people but also falling short of the world’s expectations, its potential stifled by a cycle of ineffective leadership.

    The former president’s call to action was both a plea and a challenge. He urged Nigerians to remain vigilant, to stay engaged in the political process, and to hold fast to hope despite the hardships. “We cannot advance if we continue to cycle leadership based on ethnic divisions,” he said, his words cutting through the room like a clarion call. Nigeria, he insisted, needs a leader who transcends tribal loyalties, one who embodies the collective aspirations of its diverse people.

    As the NNPP leaders listened, Obasanjo’s vision for a united Nigeria unfolded. He spoke of immediate measures to tackle insecurity and revitalize the economy, warning that without such steps, the nation would remain trapped in a pattern of stagnation. “The majority of political leaders today are not genuine nationalists,” he declared, accusing them of chasing power for personal gain rather than the nation’s welfare.

    The meeting in Abeokuta was more than a political consultation; it was a moment of reckoning. Obasanjo’s words, delivered with the conviction of a man who has seen Nigeria through its triumphs and trials, left no doubt: the country stands at a crossroads. As the rain-soaked streets outside his home buzzed with the rhythm of daily life, his message lingered—a call for a collective spirit, genuine intentions, and a leader who can finally unshackle Nigeria from its burdens and lead it toward a future worthy of its promise.
