Cuppy/Zlatan

The Cuppy gist we dropped on you guys from last week took a new turn this week as DJ Cuppy upon the allegations made by IsraelDMW, refuted all the claims and threatened to sue in a tweet.

For the record… There have been no breaches of my contractual agreement regarding the song #Gelato as confirmed by lawyers… However, as @IsrealDMW publicly inaccurately declared I owe an artist money, I am suing him for libel and defamation!

See you in court Isreal. pic.twitter.com/4fvwIyuzMB

MC Oluomo

A controversial figure and chairman of the Lagos NURTW, Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo looks to publish his biography, My Service to Humanity, and the gist has generated a lot of buzz on Twitter. It seems that the book would do well especially down to the fact that people want to know what a notorious figure like him will have to say.

If MC Oluomo wrote this book for real, then I will advise readers discretion 🤕

MC Oluomo was the motivation I needed today.
I'm finally taking my book on Profitable WordPress very seriously
Since I obviously don't have time for repeated classes, I will pour out all my secrets into one book.
It will be super valuable, I promise.
Get ready to buy.
Excited!

It should make for an interesting read. The man was recorded also having a good time with what many rumour to be his girlfriend in celebrity interior decorator, Ehi Ogbebor.

Joeboy

Joeboy dropped his album this week and the work has been garnering good reviews from his fans so far. It is 14 songs long and we did a review of the work. Check it out.

Having to create records that are life changing is one of life’s greatest gifts to humanity. I’ve lived in the music to a point where I found myself immersed in all of it’s rhythm.

IGP

Police boss, Mohammed Adamu officially retired this Monday and was supposed to have been replaced effective from Monday but for two days, the president who has the powers to do so was away in his hometown, Daura and the presidency revealed that a decision would be reached upon Buhari’s return to Abuja. The president returned on Tuesday and later decided to extend the IG’s tenure by three months “to give the IG time transition properly.” This move by President Buhari brought about conflicting views on social media. However, the Nigeria Police Act of 2020 fixes a four-year single term for the Inspector General, without an option for extension. According to the Act, section 7 (6):

‘The person appointed to the office of the Inspector General of Police shall hold office for four (4) years subject the provisions of clause 18 (8) of the bill.’

Obasanjo extended the tenure of Ehindero by one year. Former President Yar’Adua extended the tenure of Okiro till 2010. But President Buhari cannot extend the tenure of IGP Adamu by just 3 months. PDP called it attack on democracy.

History will judge us.

Femi Adesina told us that Buhari liked ex IGP Arase & would have extended his tenure if he had the power.

Yet immediately the man retired, he replaced him with that clown.

Now Adamu has retired & he suddenly remembers he has the powers to extend his tenure.

Northern Emir.

Cryptocurrency

The Federal Government of Nigeria through the Central Bank of Nigeria has placed a ban of financial institutions in Nigeria from dealing in or facilitating payments through cryptocurrency. This came as a shock to Nigerians on Twitter who viewed this as an attack on their financial independence.

When Emefiele is done, he will come back and we will have the final say. He will be treated like a pariah and all those funds he amassed will be taken from him

REAL REASON Buhari’s CBN blocked Cryptocurrency: When @jack Dorsey visited Nigeria in November 2019, he had some #Bitcoin meet ups. He solicited money for the #EndSARS street protest organizers. There was a wallet account advertised. Adamu Garba, #emefiele all pushed the BAN. pic.twitter.com/Is2Pm732GT
