Another Cause For Senator Adeleke To Dance

BBC.com

In a dramatic turn of events, Senator Ademola Adeleke of the PDP was declared the winner of the Osun Governorship election which held on Saturday, September 22, 2018.

The verdict was passed after a three-man panel led by Justice Ibrahim Sirajo began delivering judgment on the case on Thursday, September 27.

According to sources, the APC representative, Gboyega Oyetola, will still be serving as Governor of Osun State until Judgement is delivered by the Supreme Court.

Any Nigerian in Nigeria who has genuine School fees needs, DM me with a document to prove. Please note, I will detect fake documents. I will take two persons this time only and they must be current students schooling in Nigeria. NO DROP OUTS! This is how I am celebrating Adeleke!

Davido already knew beforehand that Sen Adeleke will win at the tribunal

He was ready to celebrate, that's why he was asking DJ Whookid, "where the whiskey, where the whiskey"

A visionary, I stan.

Waje

Daily Post Nigeria

Afro-soul singer Aitiuaje Iruobe popularly known as Waje is reportedly planning to quit music. In a video which went viral on social media, the singer explained how music has taken a toll on her finances. It seemed a lot of Nigerians had a lot to say on the matter making Waje a top trending topic on Twitter last week.

Waje set to quit music due to lack of funds and finances. So sad. 😞 pic.twitter.com/69CKGvrocQ

Sauces once told me that Psquare waited for Waje for almost a month to shoot "Do Me" video but her friends told her not to because Psquare were Bush guys. That song changed their lives. I wonder how big Waje would have been today if she had appeared in that video?

Nigerians are Nigeria's problem.
Waje is struggling with her music and she's just one out of the many creatives who wanna give up; Asa was lucky, she got out. But u see,Nigerians dn't have that range musically so much that its jaga jaga music we prefer just as our country is.
— 根那 (@Nnestainless) March 25, 2019

Tiwa savage, Yemi Alade, Simi, Teni and the host of others are very much active in the industry and they don't talk about drugs and sex in their music. Waje didn't work hard and for that she was left behind. Period

Sometimes we think these Celebrities have it all figured out. Life they say ain't easy.
I really feel for Waje sha.😩https://t.co/z6MQpWkF4F

Nigerians: We want well thought out lyrics, great vocals, well written songs & excellent live performances with a band and not lip synching.

So why are people like Brymo,Waje,Omawunmi,Bez & co struggling for any attention?Thought we claim there is a demand for what they offer?

How many of you knew that Duncan Mighty released 3 albums after 2010's "Ahamefuna"? PH 1st son's music was on the brink of collapse until that miraculous moment with Wizkid. Maybe what Waje needs now is a high profile collabo that can resurrect her dying music. #MondayMotivation

Waje is proof that if you’re not singing about Zanku, codeine diet, drugs or sexual songs you won’t last in the music industry. I love Waje❤️
— Misstechy (Tobi Ayeni) (@MissTechyNG) March 25, 2019

Waje says she is broke! She lives on Chevron Drive probably her own house… schoolfees around there is insanely crazy but worth it… I can advise we all mind our businesses. Priorities & Drive are totally different so also her BROKE and your BROKE can never be the same BROKE https://t.co/JslD1NxYxn
— Gambillionaiire (@Gambillionaiire) March 25, 2019

I don't understand. Waje doesn't want to spend money to promote her album? Like people are just supposed to go out & buy?

I'm so confused. Even Michael Jackson used to spend money to promote his albums.

It's not just about talent. It's about brand promotion & marketing. https://t.co/Cm1STdPaJO

Waje didn't say she was poor. Waje said she was prioritizing her money. And music isn't the money maker anymore, so she can't continue to invest. Save your pity for people who deserve it. Wanna help? Go stream her "Red Velvet" album. All this talk is just useless noise.

After experiencing Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Zamfara and Sokoto heat, I thought I've seen it all until I arrived here. Dear #Maiduguri, my lip has torn in less than 24hours, my allergy is back and I've lost count of the bottles of water I've consumed today.#MaiduguriJourney

Gush! Can't believe it's finally raining this moment in Barnawa, Kaduna, after the scorching, Hell-like heat of the past weeks.
The rains has even got me acting like my 2yr Bella, as am laying bare chested in my porch and enjoying the cool droppings. #rains #nature
