The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared that ex-militant leader Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has questions to answer over an alleged naira abuse.
In a post shared on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday, the anti-corruption agency emphasized that the law applies to everyone, stating: “Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer!”
The post included an image reportedly showing the naira being misused.
Controversy arose after a video surfaced online on Sunday, posted by user Harrison A, who tweets as #harreceipts.
The clip, which quickly went viral, was captioned: “EFCC, see Tompolo and the Naira o.”
The footage, said to be from Tompolo’s 54th birthday celebration in April, shows him dancing while another man sprays ₦1,000 notes in his direction—a practice the EFCC has previously condemned as naira mutilation.
The EFCC has previously acted against other high-profile figures for similar offenses.
Lagos socialite Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money, was arrested for allegedly spraying both naira and U.S. dollars.
More recently, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and comedian Ayo Makun (AY) were also invited for questioning over currency-related allegations.
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party has no path to victory in the 2027 elections unless it confronts internal divisions and selfish agendas.
Wike, a former governor of Rivers State and a prominent PDP figure, issued the warning during his monthly media briefing in Abuja on Monday.
He expressed deep concern over what he described as the party’s self-inflicted wounds and leadership failure.
“Leadership is key, if you don’t show the right leadership you will suffer for it and this is what I have been saying,” Wike stated, lamenting what he perceives as a vacuum of strategic direction in the party.
He criticized the backlash faced by the current governor of Delta State and his predecessor over their political choices, particularly the decision to support President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress.
“When people talk about the governor of Delta State and his predecessor moving out of PDP to APC, what wrong did he do? That he said he was going to support Tinubu, that was the crime.”
Wike further questioned the silence over similar political alignments within the PDP itself.
“But the Chairman of the BoT who is the conscience of the party adopted Otti for second tenure. Why are people not commenting about that?
The Chairman of PDP BoT adopted Alex Otti, governor under Labour Party, for second tenure.”
He accused the PDP leadership of tolerating impunity and failing to function like a serious opposition party ready to challenge the ruling APC.
“No opposition party allows impunity, it’s only the ruling party. Opposition is going to organize itself to take over the affairs of government.
How many times have they made efforts? How many people have you wooed? Rather they are after Wike; they abandoned what they are supposed to do – the only crime is that Wike is a minister under APC government.”
Highlighting his own contributions, Wike reminded the party of his political strength during the 2023 general elections.
“I’m the only former governor who did not support the presidential candidate but made sure PDP won 100 percent in the governorship, State Assembly and National Assembly.
Let any sitting governor or former governor come out to say that happened in their states.”
He issued a stern warning to PDP leaders about the consequences of exclusionary politics and internal manipulation.
“If PDP doesn’t take care, watch out for what will happen because selfish interest can kill an organization. You haven’t won an election but you are excluding people.”
Wike ended with a foreboding note, suggesting that the same miscalculations that cost the PDP dearly in 2023 are being repeated.
“You want to play the same game you played in 2023, it will backfire. I have told people that this smartness will not help you. Wike is telling you now to stop this smartness.”
Popular Nollywood actor and producer, Femi Adebayo, has presented his recent victories at the 11th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards to his father and veteran actor, Adebayo Salami.
Adebayo’s latest movie series, Seven Doors, emerged one of the biggest winners at the prestigious event held on Saturday, clinching three awards — Best Lead Actor (Femi Adebayo), Best Lead Actress (Chioma Chukwuka), and Best Score/Music (Tolu Obanro).
On Monday, Femi shared a heartwarming video on Facebook showing the moment he squatted before his father, who held the AMVCA trophies and offered prayers for him.
The touching moment resonated with fans, many of whom applauded the actor’s display of humility and gratitude.
“There are moments awards can’t measure—like this one. Humbled beyond words as my father, Alhaji Adebayo Salami and my dear mothers poured prayers over me today,” Femi’s caption read.
“Seven Doors may have triumphed at #AMVCA2025, but the true foundation of everything I am… is right here.
Their sacrifices, their prayers, their love—without them, there is no me. This win is ours,” he added.
Despite the celebration, not all reactions have been entirely positive. A fan, tweeting under the handle #OriretanHonour, suggested that Adebayo should consider featuring his father less in his productions. The tweet read in part: “Good job but limit featuring your dad always not to ruin your work.”
The movie, which had garnered 11 nominations, has been praised for its storytelling and performances however a fan, tweeting under the handle #OriretanHonour on X.com, suggested that Adebayo should consider featuring his father less in his productions.
The fan wrote on Sunday, “Femi Adebayo, the way your Seven Doors is bagging awards without promo needs to be studied. Jagun Jagun was greatly promoted but Seven Doors just suddenly popped up, took everyone unaware yet is the biggest. Good job but limit featuring your dad always not to ruin your work. Congrats but be wise.”
In his response Femi defended his decision, stating, “I appreciate the love and the concern. But let me gently say, success doesn’t have to wear noise all the time. Seven Doors has won and will keep winning because it is built on solid storytelling, not just hype.
“As for featuring my dad, Dr. Adebayo Salami (PhD) a living legend. If having a master of the craft in my work ‘ruins’ it for you, maybe the problem isn’t the casting, it’s your understanding of legacy and excellence. Oh yeah, let me add, na God dey promote, and when grace speaks, even silence trends. Thanks for the congrats.”
Seven Doors is a Nigerian historical drama series directed by Femi Adebayo, Adebayo Tijani and Tope Adebayo. It follows King Adedunjoye, a reluctant monarch whose reign is haunted by a generational curse.
To break it, he must marry six more wives—opening “seven doors”—despite his deep love for his wife, Amaka.
Media
Popular Nollywood actor, Adeniyi Johnson, has recounted how he narrowly escaped an attempted robbery in Lagos State upon his return to Nigeria.
The actor narrated how the incident happened on his Instagram account on Monday.
Sharing a video and an image to show the damages done to his car, the 47-year-old actor noted that the situation could have been worse if he were not “smart and at alert”.
The film star also revealed that the attack happened in a flash, with three armed thugs surrounding his car and attempting to vandalise it.
“Story time again. Lagos needs better security than those stop and search that ask oga how weekend anything for us. Got back to the country I mean my country and na robbery dem take welcome me, imagine o.
“Thank God for smartness and alertness! If not, the attached video would have been worse! It all happened within 15 seconds. I heard a big bang on my windshield, and the next thing I saw were 3 thugs all over my car.
“Trust me they were more but that was all my eyes out of fear could count! 1 on the driver’s side and 2 on the other side. From both sides I heard ‘yo mirror e’ (remove the mirror) and the other side ‘fo glass e’ (break the windshield). All these happened because of two ‘mumu’ trailers with smoke occupying the whole road and not driving on their lanes! While looking for a way to manoeuvre and overtake, I fell victim o. This happened after Alapere,” he wrote.
The actor also disclosed that this was the second time he had experienced such an incident this year.
“Once you descend from the third mainland bridge and approach the secretariat before Magodo. Guys please stay woke and be safe. The only damage done is the last slide. God is God. Ekule o.
“I forgot to mention this is the second time I’m experiencing this. The first time was April around 7:15 pm. Today’s own was around 11 pm. God keep keeping us,” he added.
The UK Government has unveiled sweeping reforms through its new Immigration White Paper, aiming to reduce immigration numbers by about 100,000 annually.
While the changes will affect global migrants, they are expected to significantly impact Nigerians and Africans across key sectors such as education, healthcare, and skilled employment.
Here are 10 of the most impactful changes in the new UK immigration policy;
1. Tougher Requirements for Skilled Workers
Africans, including Nigerians applying for skilled worker visas, will now face stricter criteria. Applicants must have university-level qualifications and meet higher salary thresholds, which could shut out many qualified but lower-paid professionals, especially in healthcare and technical fields.
2. Closure of Social Care Visa Route
The Social Care Worker visa, a popular pathway for many Africans entering the UK, will no longer accept new applicants from abroad. Only those already in the UK can extend or switch visas until 2028. This is a major blow to Nigerians who have relied on this route for migration and employment.
3. Higher Immigration Skills Charge
UK employers sponsoring skilled African workers will now pay 32% more in the Immigration Skills Charge. This increased financial burden could discourage UK companies from hiring foreign talent, reducing opportunities for Africans seeking skilled employment in the UK.
4. End of Salary Discounts for Shortage Occupations
The UK is scrapping the salary discount for jobs on the shortage occupation list. Previously, many Nigerians benefited from this waiver, especially in health and IT. Now, all jobs must meet the full salary threshold, which may price out many hopeful applicants from Africa.
5. Shortened Post-Study Visa Period
International graduates, many from Nigeria and other African nations, will now be allowed to stay only 18 months after graduation (down from two years). This shortens their job-hunting window and increases pressure to find qualifying jobs quickly or leave the country.
6. Stricter Rules for UK Study Visa Sponsors
UK universities and colleges will face tougher compliance requirements. Sponsors must now maintain at least a 95% enrolment and 90% completion rate, or risk restrictions. This could limit the number of institutions eligible to admit international students from Africa.
7. New Levies on International Students
The government is considering an income levy on universities from international student fees, which may drive up tuition costs or reduce scholarships. Given Nigeria’s ranking among the top 5 countries sending students to the UK, this would have wide-reaching effects.
8. Higher English Language Requirements
The minimum English proficiency for skilled worker visas will rise from B1 to B2. Adult dependants must also meet new language levels. These changes could disqualify many Africans, especially older applicants or those from non-English dominant regions, from both work and settlement pathways.
9. Longer Wait for Permanent Residency (Settlement)
The qualifying period for most migrants to settle in the UK will increase from 5 to 10 years. For many Nigerians, particularly families and young professionals hoping for long-term stay, this extends uncertainty and delays access to citizenship.
10. Crackdown on Illegal Working and Asylum
The UK will boost enforcement against illegal work, particularly in gig economy sectors where many undocumented migrants find jobs. Stricter checks will also challenge asylum claims not based on serious threats. Africans fleeing economic instability or general insecurity may find it harder to gain protection in the UK.
The Federal Government has put together 12 Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) to argue its case filed by 11 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors against the emergency rule imposed on Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.
Former Attorney General of the Federation, Chief Akin Olujinmi (SAN) heads the legal team of the Federal Government.
The other Senior Advocates include Prof. Kanyinsola Ajayi, Jelili Owonikoko, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, Tijani Gazali, Babatunde Obama, Olawale Fapohunda, Olumide Olujinmi, Akinyemi Olujinmi and Ademola Abimbola.
Other lawyers in the team are: Akinsola Olujinmi, Oluwole Ilori, Abdulwahab Abayomi, Mojeed Balogun, Jideuche Ezi and Ramat Tijani.
Recall that President Tinubu had declared a State of Emergency in Rivers State on March 18, 2025, suspending Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu, and all elected members of the State House of Assembly for an initial period of six months over prolonged political crisis in the State.
The President appointed Viral Admiral Ibok-ette Ibas (retd.) as the sole administrator to oversee the state’s affairs for the duration of the suspension period.
The National Assembly subsequently ratified the President’s declaration through a voice vote.
The PDP governors sued the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and the National Assembly as 1st and 2nd defendants, respectively, before the Supreme Court.
The plaintiffs are Adamawa, Enugu, Osun, Oyo, Bauchi, Akwa Ibom, Plateau, Delta, Taraba, Zamfara, and Bayelsa State governors.
The governors through their various State’s Attorneys-General in a suit marked SC/CV/329/2025, asked the Supreme Court to determine what authority the President has to suspend a democratically elected state institution and replace it with an unelected one.
They asked the apex court to determine six constitutional questions, including whether the President of Nigeria can lawfully suspend or interfere with the offices of a governor and deputy governor and replace them with an unelected appointee under the guise of a state of emergency proclamation.
They further requested the court to determine whether the Attorney-General’s threat, acting on behalf of the President, to suspend the offices of governors and deputy governors by virtue of such proclamations contravenes the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and principles of constitutional federalism.
The plaintiffs also questioned whether the National Assembly could approve a state of emergency proclamation, including suspension of state executives and legislatures, by a simple voice vote rather than the constitutionally required two-thirds majority of all members of each house.
In their reliefs, the plaintiffs sought declarations that: The President cannot lawfully suspend or interfere with the offices of governors and deputy governors or replace them with unelected nominees under a state of emergency.
They argued that the President cannot lawfully suspend a State House of Assembly under such circumstances.
Former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has been appointed as chairman of a special committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to chart a way forward for the party ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The decision was taken at a meeting of incumbent and former PDP Governors in Abuja on Sunday night.
Disclosing the development on his Facebook page shortly after the meeting, Saraki, a former two-time governor of Kwara State, said as part of the decisions taken to chart a way forward, the meeting set up a seven-man committee charged with preparing for a rancour-free National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for May 27 and the forthcoming national convention.
Saraki wrote: “I just left a meeting of the PDP Governors Forum, attended by its serving and former governors, at the Bauchi Governor’s Lodge. We had a fruitful deliberation on the party’s present challenges and its future. The meeting was well attended.
“As part of the decisions taken to chart a way forward, the meeting set up a seven-man committee charged with preparing for a rancour-free NEC meeting scheduled for May 27th and the forthcoming national convention. The committee is headed by my humble self, and I will have the pleasure of working with my brothers – HE Dauda Lawal, HE Caleb Muftiwang, and HE Peter Mba, governors of Zamfara, Plateau and Enugu States respectively. Other members are Sen. Seriake Dickson, Sen. Ibrahim Dankwambo, and forner governor of Abia State, HE, Chief Okezie Ikpeazu. We hope to do our best in delivering on the assignment given to us.”
Announce new migration rules
The United Kingdom has announced plans to abolish the care worker visa route in the coming months, a move that could impact thousands of Nigerians seeking employment in the UK’s health and social care sector.
It also said foreign criminals in the country would, henceforth, face rapid deportation under the new immigration rules.
UK Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, who disclosed these yesterday, said the visa pathway, heavily used by migrants, would be phased out as part of efforts to curb overall migration.
The move, detailed in a white paper to be published today, is part of broader restrictions on employers using visas to fill lower-skilled roles.
Cooper said the decision marked the end of a “failed free market experiment” that allowed widespread overseas recruitment.
She told the BBC the changes would cut annual arrivals by around 50,000, though she declined to set a specific target for net migration.
“It should come down significantly more, than 500,000,’’ she told Sky News.
The crackdown followed local election gains by anti-immigration Reform UK, which is now polling ahead of Labour.
Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, pledged yesterday “to restore control and cut migration. with tough new measures. British workers, I’ve got your back.”
The care visa ban has sparked concern among providers, who face critical staff shortages. Jane Townson of the Homecare Association warned: “Where will these workers come from if neither the funding nor the migration route exists?”
Cooper acknowledged sector concerns but said care providers should hire from the 10,000 migrants already in the UK under care visas, some of whom took jobs “that weren’t actually here or that were not of the proper standard.”
While promising a new “fair pay agreement” for care workers, she noted: “We saw that huge increase in care work recruitment from abroad, but without actually ever tackling the problems in the system.”
Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Philp, dismissed the move as “a little 50,000 tweak,” blaming the Conservative government for acting “too late” after migration peaked above 900,000 in 2023.
The government also plans to limit skilled worker visas to graduate-level roles and restrict access to non-graduate visas to strictly time-limited positions linked to industrial needs.
While changes for international students will be less severe than feared, Cooper said universities must enforce compliance with visa rules.
Reform UK’s deputy leader, Richard Tice, said public anger over migration helped his party top local polls.
He called the government’s plan a failure and demanded a “separate, dedicated department of immigration.”
The Home Office also said more foreign criminals in the UK would face rapid deportation from the country as part of reforms to deportation and removal rules.
The reforms, which will be announced today as part of the government’s Immigration White Paper, will allow the Home Office use wider removal powers on other crimes, including swifter action, to remove people who recently arrived in the country but had already committed crimes under the new rule.
“Currently, the Home Office is only informed of foreign nationals given prison sentences and deportation arrangements focus predominantly on those sentenced to more than a year in prison.
“Under the new arrangements, the Home Office will be informed of all foreign nationals convicted of offences, not just those who receive prison sentences,” it said.
The Home Office said it would consider all offences, not just those that carry a 12-month custodial sentence, and strengthen powers to remove perpetrators of violence against women and girls.
“The overhaul will make it easier to remove those who commit offences, including violence, against women and girls, street and knife crimes, before the threat they pose escalates.
“Any foreign national placed on the Sex Offenders Register regardless of sentence length will be classed as having committed a ‘serious crime’ with no right to asylum protections in the UK,” the ministry stated.
The Home Secretary said: “It is a basic requirement – those who come to the UK should abide by our laws. The system for returning foreign criminals has been far too weak for too long. ‘’Already, we have increased the number of foreign national offenders being removed since the election. But we need much higher standards. The rules need to be respected and enforced.
“We need to restore control so that net migration comes down and proper standards and order are returned.
“As part of the White Paper, the government will also update refusal policies and immigration rules to mirror these changes. This means if a person commits an offence while on a short-term visa, they will be refused if they make a fresh application.
“New measures will be explored to swiftly cancel visas to those who commit crimes, ensuring action is taken against offenders before they can put down roots in the UK.”
Cooper added that the government aimed to cut 50,000 lower-skilled worker visas this year, saying
“there will also be clearer rules in areas such as immigration on the grounds of family connections in an attempt to cut abuse in the system.
“These changes are essential to end the chaos left by the Tories in the immigration system and to regain control.’’
In a post on his X handle, Prime Minister Keir Starmer noted that previous Conservative governments had lost control of the borders.
“I won’t stand for it. I promised to restore control and cut migration, and I’m delivering with tough new measures,” he added.
Falz has received heat for sharing an unconventional opinion.
The singer wrote on X, "Fornication is not a sin."

This did not go down well with many and they took to the replies to call him out.

Veteran Nigerian producer and music executive, ID Cabasa, has called out Akon over his recent claims of helping to create the Afrobeats genre.
In a recent interview, Akon suggested that his early collaborations with Nigerian artists in the late 2000s and 2010s laid the foundation for what is now known globally as Afrobeats. But Cabasa isn't having it.
Speaking during an interview on Wazobia FM, the producer made it clear that while Akon may have partnered with Nigerian acts at the time, that doesn’t mean he can take credit for creating the genre.
“Akon for also tok say na he still discovered the likes of 2Face, Timaya, 9ice and Co,” Cabasa said in Pidgin. “Na the people wey he roll with when he come Nigeria, wey tell am say, ‘I’m the biggest person around this place.’ So, he properly feels he pioneered business and branding sides of Afrobeats.”
Cabasa also addressed Akon’s claim that Wizkid was “just a local artist” before signing to his label in 2008. He corrected the narrative, pointing out that it was Banky W who discovered Wizkid and signed him to Empire Mates Entertainment, which only later partnered with Akon’s label.
“Even the way wey he take dey tok about Wizkid, no be wettin the story be be that. We all know say na Banky W dem sign Wizkid,” he said.
On the broader claim of birthing the genre, Cabasa was clear: “Yes, we collaborate with Akon in terms of distribution but e no mean say he go tok say na he create Afrobeats. Because Afrobeats no be wettin wey one person create, na culture.”

Thousands of candidates who sat the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination are set to file a lawsuit against the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) following widespread complaints of technical glitches and incomplete questions that allegedly marred the exam.
JAMB announced that more than 1.5 million out of 1.9 million candidates, representing about 79 per cent scored below 200.
A breakdown of the results further revealed that the total number of candidates who scored 300 and above is 12,414, representing less than one per cent.
The outcome raised concern in the country, with the candidates and families taking to social media to call on JAMB to review the results.
However, JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, maintained that the candidates' results reflected their performance while the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, asserted that the mass failure showed effective anti-malpractice efforts by the board.
Popular education advocate and Chief Executive Officer of Educare, Alex Onyia, announced on Sunday that legal proceedings would commence at the Federal High Court on Monday against JAMB.
According to Onyia, over 8,000 affected students had submitted formal complaints, calling on JAMB to release detailed marking sheets and allow candidates to verify their scores.
“Currently, we have 8,391 students who have sent in their complaints regarding the glitches in the JAMB 2025 exam,” Onyia posted on his X (formerly Twitter) page, @winexv. “There is ample evidence to prove that JAMB’s system was inefficient, thereby causing serious harm to these students’ mental health,” he said.
“The demand is for JAMB to show all the students their mark sheets to view their results—what they failed, the correct answers, and a seamless way to dispute it. The destinies of these students are at stake.”
A candidate who sat the examination at a CBT centre in Maitama, Abuja, told the punch: “During the examination, for my Use of English, I noticed that some of my questions were missing. I raised the alarm, and I wasn’t the only one with the issue. When my result came out, I scored 170. JAMB has not addressed the missing questions."
Another candidate who wrote the exam on April 26 said she was shocked by her result.
“Last year I scored 287, this year I got 173. Many others who wrote on the same day complained that their English questions were incomplete. This result is not mine.”
A parent also called for a review, saying: “We demand a remark from JAMB. These are exceptional students scoring below 200. Many complained of incomplete questions and other technical issues. JAMB has said nothing. This cannot be swept under the rug."
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, had described the defection of Ifeanyi Okowa, former Governor of Delta State, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, as a smart move.
Wike, who described Okowa as a smart politician, said he was surprised that the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, didn’t see his defection coming.
Wike made the remark on Monday during a monthly media parley in Abuja.
Okowa, vice presidential candidate of the PDP in the last election, recently moved to the APC
The minister said that Okowa did not want to live in pretence, supporting President Bola Tinubu while still in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He said: “If you don’t show leadership, you suffer for it.
“This is what I’ve been saying. When people talk about the governor of Delta State and his deputy and all his team moved out of PDP to APC. What? What wrong did he do?
“He said he was going to support the President. That’s the crime, but the Chairman of the Board of Trustees – the conscience of the party – adopted Alex Otti for second tenure. Why are people not commenting about that? He adopted the governor under Labour Party to go for second term.
“Now this man said, look, I’m not going to do that kind of pretense. I will not be here and go and support him. Smart politician.
“I’m surprised that PDP said they didn’t see it coming. I won’t call the names of the governors. I call them. I said, ‘listen the way things are going, I have warned you people’. You said they are governors. I have no problem. Let’s see what will happen.”
Calls for the return of former Attorney General of the Federation, Dr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, into the Kebbi State political scene are gaining momentum, as prominent political figures from across the state rally behind his potential 2027 gubernatorial ambition.
DAILY POST gathered that a series of consultative visits have been held in Abuja over the past week, as traditional and political leaders from Zuru, Yauri, and Gwandu Emirates expressed their support for Malami’s return to frontline politics.
Leading a strong delegation from Zuru, Hon. Babangida Alkali Saidu arrived in the capital alongside influential supporters, pledging their full backing for Malami’s candidacy.
From Yauri Emirate, Hon. Bala Horse, a seasoned grassroots mobilizer and former PDP House of Representatives aspirant, described Malami as “the bridge between Kebbi’s struggles and it’s true elevation,” adding that the former Minister remains a trusted figure across political divides.
Similarly, Hon. Abubakar B. Sabo, a former member of the Kebbi State House of Assembly, visited Malami’s private office in Abuja where he offered his formal endorsement and praised Malami’s continued commitment to the development of Kebbi State.
Sources close to the movement hinted that further consultations are expected in the coming weeks as pressure mounts on Malami to formally declare his interest.
Nigerian singer and rapper, Lil Kesh, has shared his opinion on marriage.
The ‘Shoki’ hitmaker revealed that he doesn’t believe in marriage, claiming that it doesn’t work.
Kesh, who revealed that he has been single for a long time, also disclosed that he has no intention of getting married soon.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Esther Show, the singer said, “I’m currently single. I have been single for a long time. I broke up with my last girlfriend because I figured out that I could do better on my own, as far as my career, everything that was a priority to me at the time was concerned. And ever since then, I have not been able to find myself in a space where I could juggle both.
“It would be nice to find someone who would make me compromise. But now, I’m not intentional about dating because if I’m dating you, I will have to make time for you. Also, I’m no longer a kid. I’m 31. Luckily, my parents are not pressuring me to get married. They have made peace what the fact that I am different.
“Marriage? Maybe, later. But for now, I’m not of that mindset. I’m also not going to intentionally make anyone my baby mama. I am not going to ‘wife’ anybody anytime soon either. It’s not like I don’t want to get married because I want to be free or be a playboy, I just don’t believe in marriage. They don’t work. Have you seen the rate of divorces? I have seen a lot of unhappy marriages. That doesn’t mean there are not happy ones. But personally, I want a happy home and I don’t feel like I can do that yet. And I’m not going to jeopardise any person’s happiness just because I have to get married.”
