Popular rapper Nicki Minaj spoke up and shared that she used to attend church but stopped going, revealing why she made that decision.
She revealed that her reason was linked to the pressure and demands of her music career.
“Once my career started taking off, I stopped going to church. I was working on Friday nights and Saturday nights, so the last thing I could do was wake up on Sunday mornings to go to church,” she said.
The rapper then claimed that despite all this, she still has a relationship with God.
Nigerian content creator Shank sparked debate online as he spoke on relationships and infidelity.
The creator stated that men can cheat and still love their partners.
“I feel like men can multitask. They can love you and still cheat on you. I think they love you enough not to… I don’t think the cheating is trying to hurt you; you get me? But you get hurt in the process.”
He then added that it is hard to explain but stated that it is the truth. Many people reacted, and this sparked debate over his views.
Social media activist VeryDarkMan spoke out on the pupil abduction and called on Governor Seyi Makinde to take action, stating that nothing has been done since the announcement of the abduction.
VDM said that delaying the situation does not make things better for anyone.
“Mr Gov, if you’re waiting for the perfect time to go rescue those children, they’ll keep them there for long and even marry them off to other kidnappers.”
He then added what he has noticed from the behaviour of bandits. “I’ve studied these bandits for so long, I’ve come to realize that if they push and you don’t push back, they’ll see it as weakness and start asking for levies from Oyo State farmers,” he added.
