“I borrowed £40,000 for my business and it failed” – Mr Eazi opens up on early money mistake, family fallout

 Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Mr Eazi has shared a past experience where a failed business deal led to tension between him and his uncle.

Speaking during an interview, he revealed that he borrowed £40,000 from his uncle to start a business, but the venture eventually collapsed.

According to him, the situation later escalated when his uncle began demanding repayment and involved his parents.

“I remember one time I took money from my uncle to do business; business went south. And then he was chasing me for the money… I was so embarrassed that my dad had to pay,” he said.

He added that he was unhappy with how the matter was handled, especially the decision to involve his parents, which made the situation more embarrassing for him.

Mr Eazi also recalled confronting his uncle and his wife over the incident, expressing his frustration at the time.

“I told two of them that you people just f***ed up. You just lost an opportunity because I’m going to be a great guy and you’re not gonna be able to work with me,” he added.

The singer said the experience stayed with him, shaping his mindset about money, responsibility, and success in business.

“I was 19 in university when I borrowed £40,000 (₦19M) from my uncle… it failed and he started chasing me 😭💔

My dad stepped in and repaid him, but I told my uncle he messed up… because I’ll be great and he won’t be part of my story 😁”

“I always ask God to tell me the right time to quit music” – Davido

 Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again sparked conversation among fans after revealing a deeply personal mindset about his career: he constantly seeks divine guidance on when it might be time to step away from music.

In a candid reflection, Davido shared that despite his immense success, global recognition, and influence in the music industry, he does not see his journey as entirely self-directed. Instead, he places a strong emphasis on spirituality, stating that he always asks God to show him the right time to quit music. This perspective highlights a rare humility for an artist at his level—someone who has achieved chart-topping hits, sold-out tours, and international acclaim.

For Davido, music is more than fame or financial success; it is a calling. And like any calling, he believes there is a season for it. By seeking divine direction, he suggests that he is prepared to walk away when he feels his purpose in music has been fulfilled, rather than holding on indefinitely.

This revelation has resonated with many fans, especially those who admire not just his artistry but his openness about faith and life beyond the spotlight. In an industry where longevity is often pursued at all costs, Davido’s stance introduces a refreshing contrast—one that prioritizes purpose over permanence.

While there is no indication that he plans to retire anytime soon, his statement serves as a reminder that even the biggest stars are thinking about legacy, timing, and life after music. For now, fans can continue to enjoy his contributions, knowing that whenever the time comes, it will be a decision guided by something far deeper than the industry itself.

Johnson Suleman criticizes leadership, urges Nigerians to prioritize performance

 General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has questioned the state of leadership in Nigeria following the recent Palm Sunday attack in Jos.

The televangelist, speaking on the current state of insecurity in the nation, said that leadership in the country has failed in its primary responsibility to protect citizens, instead focusing on pre-election campaigns and second-term ambitions.

“Leadership that prioritizes politics over protection of lives. Choosing rather to waste our collective patrimony in pre-election jamboree and pre-coronation plans. Posterity will judge a leadership that now emboldens, enables, and replicates what it once vehemently condemned,” Mr Suleman said on Monday via a post on X handle titled “Jos attack is another evidence of failed leadership.

Mr Suleman added that it’s time for the nation’s leaders to take full responsibility, stressing that prayers are important but cannot replace accountability.

“I believe in the power of prayers, but prayers won’t replace responsibility. We need humane leaders; these current folks have zero affiliation with empathy. We are tired. It’s depressingly exhausting.”

The cleric expressed his grief with the families affected by the attacks, offering prayers for strength in their losses.

He criticised supporters of failed leaders in the country who stand up to defend nonsense and should at least sound smart while doing so.

“We stand with the families who lost loved ones and pray for fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”

“And for those who will engage this tweet to support failed leadership for the crumbs they offer you, please show your irritation via good grammar.

So even if I am irritated by your intentional delusion, I would be encouraged by your mastery of words. AJS.”

The Gari Ya Waye community in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, came under violent attack on Palm Sunday, as unknown gunmen killed men and women in the community, leaving others injured.

The state government has imposed a 48-hour curfew following the deadly incident, which took effect from March 29 to April 1, 2026, but it was violated as residents came out in large numbers to protest the resurgence of insecurity in the state, demanding justice and proper leadership.
