Joshua’s accident: ‘It’s hard to see Nigeria getting better’ — Singer Charles Onyeabor

Published

on

Italian-Nigerian singer and songwriter, Charles Onyekachi Onyeabor, has shared a sobering reflection on the state of Nigeria following the recent accident involving world-renowned boxer Anthony Joshua.

Recall that Joshua was involved in a fatal road accident along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, which claimed the lives of two of his friends. The boxer, however, escaped death by a whisker.

Reacting to the incident, Onyeabor, on his Instagram page, wrote: “This Anthony Joshua situation got me thinking out loud once again. Thank God he is alive, and sincere condolences to the families of those who lost their lives.”

He went on to reflect on Nigeria’s persistent challenges, saying: “Whenever I say that Nigeria may never get better, people think I’m trying to downgrade the country or talk it down. But this is not about hate — it’s about reality. I have lived outside Nigeria for over two decades. During that time, instead of things improving back home, the situation has actually gotten worse. So when someone confidently tells me, ‘Nigeria will get better,’ I honestly ask myself — based on what evidence?”

Onyekachi lamented the nation’s inability to reflect on its problems: “The most painful part is this: anytime you try to state the obvious about Nigeria’s problems, or when a foreigner speaks the truth about the situation in the country, Nigerians don’t reflect, they attack, insult, and troll the person. We are very good at comparing ourselves against each other, but very bad at comparing our country with other countries.”

He criticized Nigerians for focusing on individual successes while ignoring systemic failures:

“We compare Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid every day, forgetting that all three are rich, successful, unique Nigerian artists who have already won. We compare Obi Cubana and Jowizaza. We argue about who has a Grammy and who doesn’t. But we refuse to compare Nigeria itself with other nations.”

Onyekachi highlighted the country’s infrastructural deficits:

“Why don’t we compare a country with no constant electricity, poor road networks, bad hospitals and emergency services, lack of clean water and basic amenities, with countries where these things are normal, not luxury?”

He also criticized the nation’s focus on tribalism, religious division, online insults, and internal fighting rather than demanding better systems.

“Until we learn to accept truth, stop being defensive, and start holding systems accountable instead of worshipping individuals, nothing will change,” he wrote.

Onyekachi concluded: “This is not hate. This is not bitterness. This is an observation. As things stand today, it is hard to see Nigeria truly getting better again.”

Published

on

Socialite, Ehizogie Ogbebor, has accused beauty entrepreneur and reality TV star, Diadem Adeola, of involving her in the ongoing dispute with Dabota Lawson.

A voice note of the accusation, allegedly from Ogbebor, was shared by Diadem on her Snapchat story amid the continuing feud involving the two women.

In the recording, Ogbebor challenged Diadem over comments allegedly made about her and questioned her connection with a man identified as Churchill.

Ogbebor also alleged that Diadem travelled to meet her for prostitution more than a decade ago, while denying claims that Churchill had any relationship with her.

She further accused Diadem of previously staying in an Airbnb she rented with her boyfriend and questioned why her name was brought into the dispute.

“You’ve forgotten how you flew in to Uyo to meet me for prostitution 12/13 years ago. You’ve forgotten? Since you want to start, then let’s start talking,” Ogbebor said in the voice note.

She also dismissed an alleged claim that Churchill had rejected her, saying she had no relationship with the man.

“Me, Churchill rejected me? You’re a fool, Churchill no reach,” she said.

Ogbebor further accused Diadem of dragging her name into the dispute after allegedly making claims involving Churchill, while describing him as a man who mistreats women.

Published

on

Media personality Shade Ladipo has thrown shots at former friends, Diiadem and Dabota Lawson.

The two have been going off at each other, with Diiadem accusing Dabota of using blogs to smear her name.

Responding to her, Dabota noted that she was the best sister in the world for helping Diiadem during her pregnancy with her married boyfriend in November.

She confirmed that Diiadem was dating a married man named Churchill and pretending to be friends with his wife.

Hitting back at her, Diiadem said she had never denied knowing him and claimed Churchill rejected her friend, Ehi Ogbebor and Dabota spent a lot of time trying to make that happen for her.

She claimed Dabota spoke badly about Tonto and further alleged that she tried to introduce her to various men and was sending her pictures to them for her own financial gain.

Reacting to their beef, Shade called them Lagos Oloshos, noting how they are the ones fond of sharing biblical verses and telling people they work hard.

She said that, as someone who worked in the entertainment industry, she was shocked that many of their favourites make most of their money on their backs.

” I hear your fave Lagos Oloshos are fighting.

These are the first people to post Bible verses and tell you how hard they work.

As someone who was in the entertainment industry.
You will be shocked that most of your faves make most of their money on their backs, and this is a fact!!

Well, I guess a blow job is still a job”.
