The late Singer, Lanre Fasasi, a.k.a Sound Sultan had urged Nigerians to celebrate people while they were alive. This was his last appeal on his Instagram before he died last Sunday.
Sound Sultan said it was necessary to give accolades to people while they were alive instead…
I’ve never been controversial. What Nigerians refer to as controversy is when you say the truth and stand by it. Nigerians don’t really understand or believe in the truth and once I’m convinced that this is the truth, you really have to do a lot to prove that…
Babatunde: We’ve always loved movies right from a young age. All of what you see us do in our videos are pretty much what we do on a daily basis. I knew Maleek has always had a flair for acting but I never thought anything of it. On that fateful day…

It’s just a word that people use to describe the much younger generation beacause the noodles take about 2 minutes to be done, it’s not cooked deeply. They are too surface-based and I say this with all respect. I saw this recently, a guy who had a million followers on Twitter and…
Some people can’t handle fame and publicity. I think I’m one of such people. I’d rather stay behind the scene and keep on creating stuff.

So, I wanted to grow my children in that way, like everybody is concerned with what is happening with everybody. In the yard, everybody is closer to everybody.

To be honest, I think it’s being able to leave a tangible mark in the world that can mold people. I think that’s the most important thing. If you watch the Social Experiment on Netflix, it buttresses the point that majority of the apps we use daily were built by men. From the flow to the design so we are only experiencing life through the lens of men… we don’t know how subconsciously these algorithms are affecting our mindset as women. Maybe it’s promoting the man’s mindset because we are seeing, living, and experiencing technology from the perspective of a guy…
Has it sunk it yet? Yes and no because it’s more than that for me. As the mother of a Grammy award winner it makes me proud.
