Nigerian music star Davido has pledged to fully represent Nigeria following criticism over his recent remarks about the country’s struggling economy during an interview abroad.

In a social media post, the singer shared a picture of himself wearing a durag in the colors of the Nigerian flag, captioning it, “I Dey go do interview nw… fully representing (Nigeria). Say make I kuku put am for head.”

This move comes after Davido faced backlash for his comments on a US platform about the poor state of Nigeria’s economy and rising inflation.

The gesture appears to be his way of reaffirming his pride and commitment to his homeland despite the controversy.

Nigerian Gospel Singer, Sinach is currently facing a 5 billion Naira lawsuit filed by music producer, Michael Oluwole also known as Maye. Maye sues Sinach over her hit song “Way Maker” which was released in 2016.

In the suit numbered FHC/L/CS/402/2024, Maye’s reason for this law suit is his claim of being the author and co-owner of the song and demand 5 Billion Naira. The music producer aims to collect the demand for damages to his rights as the co-owner.

The trial for this case was scheduled for November 27th, 2024 but has been moved to January 29th and 30th, 2025. This is to give the two parties time to collect evidence and defense materials.

Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (retd.), has explained why he has remained neutral and not aligned with any political party in Nigeria.

Speaking in Abuja on November 27 during a visit by the League of Northern Democrats (LND) led by Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, the 90-year-old elder statesman said his loyalty lies solely with Nigeria.

“My military background shaped my belief in serving the nation above all else,” Gowon said, adding that he draws from all ideologies, such as socialism and capitalism, to prioritize the greater good.

He recalled how the north made sacrifices during his time in government to address fears of regional domination, preventing secession threats from all regions. “If we had allowed it, we might have ended up as separate nations—whether Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, or otherwise,” he noted.

Gowon also expressed sadness over the region’s current challenges, including the rise of insurgent groups, which he said have created more problems for the north.
