D’banj Surprises Lagos Commuters with Free Concert and Fare Coverage on BRT
Nigerian music icon Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, better known by his stage name D’banj, recently gave commuters in Lagos an unforgettable experience as he brought music and joy to their daily routine.
The popular singer boarded the Lagos Blue Line Train and a BRT bus, much to the surprise of the passengers, who were treated to an impromptu live performance and acts of kindness.
In a video that has now gone viral on social media, D’banj is seen mingling with the passengers, even dancing with an elderly woman on the train.
The energy was electric as fellow commuters joined in, singing along to one of the tracks from his latest album, The Entertainer.
The atmosphere quickly turned into a lively mini-concert, with everyone aboard caught up in the excitement of the moment.
D’banj’s journey took him from Leventis bus stop to Marina train station and then on to the National Theatre station, with passengers revelling in the unique experience.
But the star didn’t stop there. In a touching gesture, he covered the transport fare for the commuters, generously topping up their Cowry Cards to ensure their trip was on him.
This unexpected act of generosity and entertainment left a lasting impression on those present, with many praising D’banj for not only brightening their day but also for giving back in such a thoughtful way.
The event has sparked widespread attention online, with fans applauding the singer for his down-to-earth nature and willingness to connect with everyday Lagosians in such a meaningful way.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
