What Do You Think As Regards This List?
Star Boy FC are no doubt the strongest when it comes to supporting their own act Wizkid.
Lately, Wizkid has been known for fixing dates for song release but not keeping to his words which creates plenty more anticipation from his fans.
Songs like Ghetto Love and Joro are new projects Wizkid newly released from his forthcoming album Made In Lagos.
A twitter user tweeted this after high expectations from Wizkid’s as regards his new song “Joro” which ended sounding like thrash after it was released.
See tweet below:-
So, the question now is 👇
Do You Agree Wizkid Fans Are Suffering As He Kept Feeding Them With Trash?
Let’s hear from you all.

SARS operatives are fully back to the streets in what looks like a come-back with a show of force.
A few months ago, the #Endsars trended amidst widespread killings of Nigerians by those who were supposed to protect them.
After much protest, sharing of pictures and videos online of the abuse and brutal treatments of Nigerian youths by these mad dogs called SARS, we were told the Vice-President had ordered an overhaul of the squad.
Sometimes last month, SARS guys are fully back this time more brutal and trigger-happy to kill at any point in time. There is hardly anywhere you go now in Lagos and most part of Nigeria where they are not visible.
How SARS Officials Dress
Their mode of dressing revolves around tinting their hair, putting on eating, natives or some tattered looking clothes. They now move around in small buses, usually, white yellow and red.
Once they approach you, they tell you to move into the bus, if you argue with them, you will be given the worst beatings of your life. That is if you are lucky, sometimes it may just be the sound of a bullet in your body.
Hardly can you walk pass any bus-stop in Lagos without seeing them. Once they notice that you are young, they will come after you. It is no longer a question of if you are into Yahoo-Yahoo. If you carry a bag or a laptop, you are their prey. Whether you dress smart or not, there is a high rate that they will come after you.
Once You Dress Well, You A Yahoo Boy
Today, I witnessed two guys who were smartly dressed and on their way to their office picked up in Ikeja by SARS operatives. They were forced into the bus by these wild officers after deliveries of slaps and punches.
These wild police officers have labeled all the Nigerian Youths criminals and Fraudsters.
Not All Nigerian Youths Are Fraudsters
NO!!
Not all of us are fraudsters or Yahoo Yahoo
Besides those criminals are a few of us who are putting in the hard work, sweat, tears, and pains to make sure we make headway.
But these SARS guys are not ready to listen to that as it is now a crime to own a Laptop in Nigeria, even if you do not own one. You will probably still be their victim.
As technology increases, these horrible and disgruntled police officers want to take us back into the stone age. They see every youth making headway as fraudsters, but that is fast becoming the trait of the black man. He does not want to see the other black man successful.
Most SARS Officials Are Thugs & Criminals
The Nigerian Police, SARS to be precise is an organization that houses criminals, touts, Agberos, and cultist.
If you are a Nigerian Youth and you value your life, please, by all means, avoid going around with your ATM, because they will force you to withdraw money, limit the cash you go around with.
Go with the receipt of your gadgets and by all means do not argue with them. They are more than ready to shoot you at sight.
The Government Won’t Do Anything
Forget about the government, they won’t do jack about your situation. That is the country we all live in. That is how the black man treats his fellow blacks.
Accept it, that is the reality of being a Nigerian in the 21st Century.
Did You See The Video Of The Jiji Robbers?
Did you see the videos of those two disarmed guys who allegedly stole phones, even after putting handcuffs on them, they were shot dead. That is to tell you that you are not safe as a Nigerian Youth as at today.
Your Life is your own, Protect it.
Please note that this post is by no means support for fraud or yahoo-yahoo. The post is a culmination (reverse) of the events I have witnessed in over a month now in Ikeja.
“In My Country, We Know Evil, they are the Nigerian Police.”
The End!
Thank you all for reading.
Busola Dakolo who in June 2019 accused the founder and Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Biodun Fatoyinbo of raping her when she was below 18 has demanded “a personal letter of apology” from the cleric.
In a suit filed on her behalf by her lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi and Co of Law corridor before the Federal High Court in Abuja, the celebrity photographer stated that the rape act affected her marital sex life.
Punch reported that she also said that the COZA founder’s June 28 2019 press statement in which he denied the alleged act, caused her continuous emotional distress and amounted to intentional infliction of emotional distress on her.
Olajengbesi said,
“The claimant avers that she was immediately terrified and in shock while the defendant pinned her down on the couch following which he caressed her body, fondled her breasts, pulled her pant, quickly half-pulled his trousers and ordered her to allow him have his way with her.“The claimant avers that the defendant in the process used his hand to cover her mouth, thereby muffling her screams.“The claimant avers that the defendant made efforts to penetrate her vagina, whilst she struggled to fight him off; however, the defendant overpowered her and penetrated her vagina and had sexual intercourse with her.“The claimant avers that while she was in shock of the incident which had rendered her befuddled and mortified, the defendant rushed out of the living room area of her family home and briefly returned with a bottle of soda (Krest) which he forced down her throat thereby making her breathing difficult.”
He added,
“The defendant further proceeded to threaten the claimant’s life by telling her he would greatly harm her if she ever revealed the incident to anyone.“The claimant avers that following her second ordeal with the defendant, she became dejected, kept to herself and hated herself, developed utter loathing for everything around her and withdrew to herself and away from all spiritual activities of the church.“The claimant avers that despite getting married, she continues to live in constant fear, suffers several series of mood swings, emotional and psychological distress, and also worries about her safety.“The claimant avers that her marital sex life has been affected negatively as a result of her terrible experience with the defendant, thereby resulting in her continuous emotional and psychological distress, which has not ceased.”
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has finally admitted raiding former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode’s home after denying the report earlier.
Though eyewitnesses said the anti-graft agency’s operatives were stopped by residents of Epe (Ambode’s hometown), the EFCC claimed they were attacked by Ambode’s hoodlums in a statement released by its head of media and publicity Wilson Uwajuren.
He further disclosed that three officers were injured in the attack, while the EFCC official vehicle was damaged.
Wilson said “the EFCC had obtained valid warrant to conduct search on Ambode’s residences in Park View, Ikoyi and country home in Epe, as part of ongoing investigation of alleged malfeasance”.
“The attack was totally unprovoked as the Commission’s operatives were civic and did not molest anybody. The Commission therefore frowns at the attempt to manipulate the video of the search to create the wrong impression that officers of the agency molested residents at the Epe home of the governor.
It is also not true that the search was an attempt to plant foreign currencies in the home of the former governor,” he added.
