We Have Something In Common, Akpabio Tells Davido



President Bola Tinubu’s government has something in common with the Nigerian music industry - both cater for Nigerians across party lines!


That was the message of the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio to Davido, the Afrobeat Star, who paid him a courtesy visit on May 19, 2024.


Akpabio told the music star, whose real name is David Adedeji Adeleke: "For me and for the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, its an inclusive administration, and you must have noticed in my various outings, we move as one, across party lines.



"Even though your administration is a PDP one but we work across party lines for the interest of Nigeria. The only major thing that is common to all of us is the interest of this country and it is a country that has given you so much love”.


While advising Davido to avoid being dragged into politics, he promised that the lawmakers will do everything possible to support the talent industry.


"Please do your best to continue to maintain the high ethics. What is happening in America with some of the black stars is quite unfortunate. For most of you in the industry, don't allow peer group influence derail you. Continue to do your best.


"The entertainment industry is like a pyramid. You start from the ground until you get there. When you are on top, your own is how to remain there. So anybody who walks on a tight rope must learn how to do the balancing act. And so, your job is to remain there.


"Our prayers is that God should sustain you there and to continue to give you more wisdom and more talent for you to continue to make Nigeria proud. We are very proud of you."


Davido, in company of his cousins, Hon. Tunji Adeleke and Folasade Adeleke, recalled Akpabio’s hospitality to him and while the former was the Governor of Akwa Ibom State and also while he was a Minister.

He informed the Senate President of his Foundation which primarily offers assistance to the orphanages and also of his new album to be released in June or July.


"As for me, I'm doing my part. I have a Foundation. Every year, I share N300 million, N400 million  to orphanages.Just doing my own part to assist the society. We have new album coming out June or July. I just thank you for everything you have been doing for us," Davido said.

A LADY WHO MARRIED HERSELF ACCUSED OF CHEATING!

A young lady who married herself last year in my village has been accused of cheating! After waiting endlessly for a suitor,  Miss Ama Idem Ikpong, married herself in October, 2023, at a solemn but solitary ceremony that cost a “whopping” N1,500. Before the glamorous wedding, which she planned alone, Miss Ama Idem Ikpong was often seen taking herself out to eateries, sit-outs, clubs, etc, always in company of herself.  However, at a point in the relationship, she stopped frequent public outings and drinking and later told one reporter that she loved spending  “a lot of quality time” with herself.  In an interview after the wedding, Miss Ikpong reportedly said: “Why can't I marry myself?” Na your body? As an independent lady, feminist and influencer, I decided to organise my wedding to show young ladies that they don’t need any man to survive”.  She said she had the support of her family as her five year-old brother, Etuk Ikpong,  gladly accepted the N500 br...
