Famous Nigerian artiste Tiwa Savage has addressed the controversy surrounding her recent remark about being open to becoming a second wife. In a new interview, the 45-year-old artist explained that the statement was not a serious declaration but rather an expression of frustration after a series of failed relationships. “I was a first wife, where did that get me? I got married as the only wife, but here we are,” she said, reflecting on her past marriage. “I’m tired of being heartbroken. Maybe I’m getting it wrong. Maybe I should try being a second wife.” Savage clarified that her comment was made in jest, not as a genuine desire. “It’s not my choice. I don’t want to. I wish I could tell my truth, but I’ll be dragged. I’m just looking for love, let’s leave it at that,” she added. The singer was married to music executive Tunji Balogun , popularly known as TBillz . The couple tied the knot in 2013 and share a son. Their marriage ended in 2018 amid allegations of infidelit...

Elon Musk 's X has officially suspended the iconic @ twitter handle in a move that marks the final symbolic severance from its past. The account, dormant since Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover, now displays a "Rule Violation" notice, though the company has not specified which policy was broken. The move marks a symbolic end for the "Blue Bird" era. Since the 2023 rebrand, Musk has steadily erased legacy features to make room for his "everything app" vision. While some see the suspension as a routine cleanup of inactive assets, others view it as the ultimate sunsetting of the Twitter brand. Neither Musk nor X leadership has commented on the deactivation.

Uganda Shuts Down Internet as President Museveni seeks to extend 40 year rule

By Michael Ehindero

Uganda has been plunged into a nationwide digital blackout on Tuesday evening as the government ordered internet service providers to sever connections just two days before a pivotal general election. The formal directive from the Uganda Communications Commission cited the need to curb misinformation, electoral fraud, and potential incitement to violence as justifications for the shutdown.  While government officials privately confirmed the order to AFP, the administration has avoided making a public announcement, reportedly to distance itself from the controversial decision. The timing of the disconnection heightens tensions as President Yoweri Museveni seeks to extend his four-decade rule against a familiar challenger, singer-turned-politician Bobi Wine. The blackout, which commenced at 6:00 pm local time, marks a stark reversal of recent government promises. Authorities had previously dismissed reports of an impending shutdown as "false" rumors designed to sp...

Kenneth Ofori-Atta , the former Finance Minister of Ghana, has been taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to a statement released by his legal team on Wednesday. The 66-year-old former official, who served under President Nana Akufo-Addo from 2017 to early 2024, is currently being held at a detention facility in Virginia. The detention appears to center on Ofori-Atta’s immigration status. His lawyers clarified that while he has a pending petition to regularize or extend his stay in the United States, federal authorities moved to detain him earlier this week.
