Why most young Nigerians go broke – Don Jazzy

 Nigerian music executive Don Jazzy has shared his perspective on why many young Nigerians struggle to sustain wealth despite earning significant income.

Speaking on financial habits, he attributed the trend to spending on non-essential items rather than prioritising long-term value.

He emphasized the importance of responsibility, noting that financial success should also reflect in taking care of  family and making meaningful investments.

Don Jazzy highlighted that, despite having the means to afford luxury items, he chooses to focus on more impactful ventures. He encouraged youths to invest not only in businesses but also in personal development, including acquiring skills and knowledge that can generate income.

He also pointed to learning opportunities such as financial markets as part of self-investment, stressing that building capacity and making informed financial decisions are key to sustaining wealth.

The music executive said …

“The reason Nigerian youths go broke after making a lot of money is because they spend on irrelevant things and things they don’t need

I’ve been blessed enough for a long time to be able to afford any car that I want or even to buy a private jet or whatever but I have more important things to take care of, I have family to take care of… I’d rather invest in other things. There’s nothing that beats investment, including investing in your own self, including going to acquire knowledge of something you can charge people for. Even the Forex I’m learning now, I’m investing in myself”

*Why I Won’t Advise Anybody Close to Me to Go for BBNaija – Tega Dominic

In a candid and deeply personal revelation, former Big Brother Naija housemate **Tega Dominic** has opened up about the lasting emotional and mental toll of her time on the popular reality show, stating clearly that she would not encourage anyone dear to her to audition for it.

Speaking in a recent interview, Tega shared: “I won’t tell anybody close to me to go for Big Brother. If you’re not mentally strong, don’t go for Big Brother.”

She explained that her experience on the show significantly affected her mental health, particularly after she left the house. “After Big Brother, I used to have anxiety. It became worse. I had social anxiety. I can’t go to spaces if I’m alone. I can give you hugs, but I can’t receive hugs,” she said.

Tega’s words highlight the often-hidden psychological challenges that come with participating in high-stakes reality television. While the show brought her visibility and opened doors to opportunities she might not have accessed otherwise, the intense public scrutiny, isolation, and pressure took a heavy emotional price.

She acknowledged some positive changes in her life, noting that the platform elevated her in ways that could have taken much longer otherwise. However, her strong caution stems from a place of genuine concern for the well-being of loved ones.

Tega’s message is clear and heartfelt: Big Brother Naija is not for everyone. It demands exceptional mental resilience, and even then, the aftermath can be far more difficult than many anticipate.

Her honesty serves as an important reminder about the real human cost behind the glamour of reality TV. For Tega, protecting the peace and mental health of those closest to her outweighs any potential fame or fortune the show might offer. 

Many fans and observers have commended her for speaking openly about these struggles, sparking wider conversations about mental health support for reality show participants long after the cameras stop rolling.

Nigerian Music Icons Fela Kuti and Sade Adu Earn Global Recognition with Induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026

In a historic milestone for Nigerian and African music, legendary Afrobeat pioneer **Fela Anikulapo Kuti** and the iconic band **Sade**, fronted by **Sade Adu**, have been named to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026. This induction celebrates their profound and enduring influence on global music, culture, and artistic expression.

Fela Kuti, the revolutionary Nigerian musician, composer, and activist who passed away in 1997, becomes the **first African solo artist** ever inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He is being honored in the **Musical Influence / Early Influence** category for pioneering the Afrobeat genre — a powerful fusion of jazz, West African rhythms, highlife, funk, and soul that served as both danceable music and a bold vehicle for political resistance against corruption, colonialism, and injustice.

With over 50 albums, iconic tracks like “Zombie,” “Water No Get Enemy,” and “Lady,” and a career marked by fearless activism — including multiple arrests and the infamous government attack on his Kalakuta Republic commune — Fela’s music transcended borders and inspired generations of artists worldwide, from jazz and funk musicians to modern Afrobeats stars. His recent Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in late 2025 further underscores a banner year for his legacy.

Sade Adu, the Nigerian-born, Essex-raised singer-songwriter, and her long-standing band — comprising **Andrew Hale** (keyboards), **Paul Spencer Denman** (bass), and **Stuart Matthewman** (saxophone and guitar) — are being inducted in the **Performer** category. Since forming in London in 1982, Sade has crafted a timeless, sophisticated sound that seamlessly blends soul, jazz, R&B, and smooth pop. Their elegant arrangements, melodic saxophone lines, and Sade Adu’s velvety, mesmerizing vocals have created deeply personal and universally resonant music that feels both intimate and cinematic.

With multi-platinum albums such as *Diamond Life* (featuring the global hit “Smooth Operator”), *Promise*, *Stronger Than Pride*, and *Lovers Rock*, the band has maintained the same core lineup for over four decades, delivering understated elegance and emotional depth that continues to influence contemporary soul, R&B, and alternative artists. Their music has sold tens of millions of records worldwide and earned numerous accolades, including a prior induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

The dual induction of these two Nigerian-linked artists highlights the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s growing recognition of global musical diversity and the profound ways African sounds have shaped popular music. It also marks a proud moment for Nigeria, often called the heartbeat of African music, as both artists carry deep Nigerian heritage — Fela as a native son and Sade Adu with her Nigerian roots.

The official **2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony** is scheduled for **Saturday, November 14, 2026**, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California. The event will be broadcast later in December on ABC and Disney+.

**Quotes:**

“Fela Kuti was a revolutionary voice who spoke out against injustice through his innovative music — provoking political change while infusing jazz, West African, and soul music to pioneer the Afrobeat genre.” — Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

“Sade have spent over four decades crafting a distinctive blend of jazz, soul, and R&B, defined by smooth grooves, elegant arrangements, and the captivating vocals of Sade Adu. You know a Sade song when you hear it, but you don’t just hear Sade, you feel Sade.” — Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

This induction not only honors past achievements but also cements the global stage for African musical innovation and sophistication. As Fela’s infectious rhythms and Sade’s silky elegance continue to echo across generations, their place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ensures their legacies will inspire artists and listeners for decades to come.

“I Was Most Disappointed in Myself” – Davido Opens Up on Cheating on Wife Chioma Adeleke Before Marriage

Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as **Davido**, has candidly addressed a past mistake in his relationship with his wife, Chioma Adeleke (now Chioma Rowland Adeleke), revealing deep personal regret over an incident of infidelity that occurred before their marriage.

In a recent interview, the Afrobeats icon spoke openly about a challenging period in their relationship, stating:

> “I was most disappointed in myself when I cheated on my wife when we had a little rift back then before we got married. She’s an amazing person, and she didn’t deserve that. I shouldn’t have done it, but I apologized.”

Davido emphasized his self-disappointment and acknowledged that Chioma’s character and loyalty made the mistake even more regrettable. He described the infidelity as a moment of weakness during a temporary rift, expressing gratitude that the couple was able to move past it and build a stronger foundation leading to their marriage.

The couple, who share children together and officially tied the knot in a high-profile white wedding in 2024, has often been celebrated for their enduring bond despite public scrutiny and past relationship hurdles. Davido’s latest comments reflect a theme of growth, accountability, and commitment in their journey.

Fans and followers have reacted with a mix of support for Davido’s honesty and admiration for Chioma’s resilience. Many view the admission as a mature reflection on personal responsibility rather than a fresh scandal.

Davido, known for chart-topping hits and his influence in global music, has in recent years spoken about prioritizing family and personal evolution. This revelation comes as part of broader conversations around love, forgiveness, and redemption in high-profile relationships.
