Cubana Chief Priest Calls for Southeastern Unity Amid Security Concerns
Nigerian socialite Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, has reportedly attributed ongoing security issues as the reason highlife artist Flavour chose to hold his father’s burial in Enugu instead of their home state, Anambra.
Chief Priest, who was among the notable figures present at the funeral on Saturday, voiced his concerns about the security situation in the southeastern region through a heartfelt Instagram post. He urged all Southeasterners to come together to tackle the growing threat of instability that has been affecting their communities.
Affectionately called the “star barman,” Cubana Chief Priest stressed that the people of the South East should not destroy their homeland in response to marginalization. He pointed out that engaging in such destructive behaviors only aids those who wish to create chaos and instability in the region.
He wrote:
“This amazing funeral was supposed to be happening in Umunze Anambra State but here we are in Enugu managing it. Umunne, we need to come together and fix this, it’s no longer interesting. We cannot destroy our own because we are being marginalised.
“We must uphold our glory by going back to our peaceful nature. We can only fight back if home is in order for proper planning. If this continues that means they have succeeded in disorganising us.
“Oga Adicha ama, nke di na iru ka. RIP, Papa Ijele Igbo Nile, Papa muru African royalty 2niteflavour ebube agu na eche agu.”
Liverpool have reportedly reached out directly to Newcastle United to explore a potential record-breaking move for Swedish striker Alexander Isak. But if Newcastle refuse to sell, the Reds are ready to turn their attention to Hugo Ekitike, currently at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed that Newcastle have no intention of letting go of Isak and have even offered him a new contract to keep him at the club. The Ekitike situation is still developing. Newcastle have already submitted an offer close to €80 million, but Frankfurt are holding out for more. Romano added that Liverpool will only push for Ekitike if Newcastle shut the door on an Isak transfer.
Newcastle remain actively involved in talks for Ekitike, but much of their plan depends on how things unfold with Isak. In other news, Manchester City have confirmed Kolo Toure as a permanent member of Pep Guardiola’s coaching team. Romano had earlier hinted at the move back in May, and the former Ivory Coast international has now officially signed his contract.
Nigerian comedian and actor AY, whose real name is Richard Ayodeji Makun, has spoken out about staying relevant in the entertainment scene, even as he grows older. In a recent Instagram post, he addressed the common belief that fame fades with age. But for AY, that’s not the case.
He made it clear that he’s still very much in the spotlight, enjoying recognition and influence in the industry. AY credits his long-lasting success to grace, saying his journey is far from over.
The award-winning entertainer added that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon and remains committed to making people laugh and inspiring fans across all ages. In his words, “They said the spotlight dims with age, I guess mine forgot the memo. Call it grace.”
