Joshua’s accident: ‘It’s hard to see Nigeria getting better’ — Singer Charles Onyeabor
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.”
Nigerian singer, Harrysong has revealed that he is now in a polygamous relationship following his separation from his wife, Alexer Peres.
Speaking in a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, the father of two stated that every one of his current girlfriends is acquainted with all the others.
The Reggae Blues crooner insisted that there was nothing wrong with polygamous relationship, stressing that American singer Neyo has three wives.
“I am currently in a polygamous relationship. Every one of his current girlfriends is acquainted with all the others. They are all doing well. And we are happy.
“Everybody is being treated right and respectfully. Everyone willing join. No one was forced. Neyo has three wives. Just do whatever makes you happy. So don’t force your opinion on anyone,” he said.
The singer added that some of his girlfriends are foreigners, including an American.
Recall that Harrysong and his ex-wife Alexer separated in 2024 after three years of marriage.
Harrysong claimed his wife became pregnant for another man while still living under his roof and that they had not been intimate for over a year.
Alexer denied the infidelity claims and accused Harrysong of domestic violence and cheating on their wedding night.

‘There’s arrest warrant against me’ – Regina Daniels speaks on $40,000 theft allegation
Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has kicked against allegations of theft against her amid the ongoing marital crisis with Senator Ned Nwoko.
During a live broadcast, the actress alleged that her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, was responsible for the accusations.
Regina claimed that an arrest warrant had been issued against her and some members of her family over the alleged theft.
She, however, strongly denied the claims, insisting that they were false and unfounded.
According to the actress, the allegation that $40,000 was stolen from her husband’s home is illogical, as she maintained that the senator does not keep cash in his house.
She said, “It’s confirmed, it’s true, and I’ve verified that it’s Ned. There is a warrant on everyone, including myself.”
“He is claiming that we stole $40,000 from his house, yet he doesn’t even keep money at home. So how could we have stolen $40,000?”
