Toke Makinwa Criticized for Looting Remarks During Protests
Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa faced significant backlash after condemning looting and vandalism during the ongoing national protests on August 1, 2024. On X, she criticized the destruction, stating it was wrong for Nigerians to steal from each other during such hardships. This comment drew criticism from users who accused her of not supporting the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria movement, leading to heated exchanges.
One user criticized her lack of support for the movement, prompting a blunt response from Makinwa. Another user defended her, arguing that the ruling party orchestrated the theft to frame peaceful protesters, to which Makinwa clarified her stance.
Further criticism came from a user who accused Makinwa of being aligned with the government and claimed she was paid off. Makinwa responded by questioning why the critic was not protesting in the streets, suggesting their anger was misplaced. This controversy highlights the deep divisions and tensions surrounding the national protests and the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria movement.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.
Sandra revealed that Frank allegedly cheated multiple times and even claimed that a particular woman was frequently seen around their home, stating that he was definitely involved with her.
She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
