South African music star, Tyla, has prayed for a unified Africa.

This came a few weeks after she was heavily criticised for not speaking against xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

Recall that several Nigerians, including celebrities, had campaigned against Tyla’s planned show in Nigeria after accusing her of not using her platform to speak against attacks on foreigners in South Africa.

Following the backlash, the singer cancelled her show in Lagos.

However, speaking at the South African Music Awards over the weekend, Tyla prayed for a unified Africa.

In a trending video, she said, “And I am just so happy to be South African. I’m happy to be African most of all.

“I pray one day to see a unified Africa. It’s so important.”

Nollywood actress, Jemima Osunde has expressed anger after a road user allegedly drove against traffic in Lagos, saying she refused to give way to the vehicle.

Osunde spoke in a video shared online, alleging that the driver left his lane to avoid traffic and entered a lane meant for motorists heading towards Lekki.

She said she remained in her lane and blocked the vehicle, insisting that motorists should not break traffic rules simply to avoid congestion.

“I will not leave my lane for you when you are passing one way. I won’t do it. I don’t care if you have police in your car,” Osunde said.

The actress said she was willing to delay her plans or remain in traffic rather than allow the alleged traffic violation.

“I’m sick of Nigerians just doing anyhow, as if Lagos is not congested enough, without you passing one way and breaking traffic lights,” she said.

Osunde added that she would only give way to emergency service vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks.

“Unless you’re an ambulance or a fire truck and emergency service, I will not leave my lane for you when you’re passing one way. I won’t,” she added.

Nigerian actress Dior Adiele has asked her mother to leave her house, weeks after raising concerns about her brother’s alleged drug addiction and its impact on her family.


Adiele made the disclosure in a series of posts on social media, saying she wants to focus on her daughter, who lives in the same house.

She alleged that her mother’s presence had become a source of distress and accused her of draining her finances despite years of hard work.

“I want this woman out of my fucking space,” Adiele wrote, adding that her mother was refusing to leave because she had nowhere else to go.

Adiele also alleged that she started paying rent at the age of 16 and had struggled financially despite making money from her work.

“My childhood was stolen from me. I started paying rent at 16, in a house I lived in with her and my siblings,” she wrote.

The actress further alleged that her mother had made her and her siblings homeless three times and claimed that she had lost money she could have used to acquire properties.

“I made money, I made crazy money to afford me some landed properties, but this woman drained my every dime,” she said.

Adiele had earlier raised concerns about her brother’s alleged drug addiction, saying his behaviour had become difficult to manage and that she was worried about her daughter living in the same house.

“My daughter needs me; I want to be sane for her. I have been used for too long; I am losing my mind,” she wrote.
