The Nigerian sports fraternity was thrown into pandemonium following the news of the death of prominent Sports journalist Kayode Tijani.

Tijani reportedly died at 55 years old on Wednesday night February 7, 2024, at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja after a protracted illness.

Tijani’s death was confirmed by his sister, Dr. Ganiyat Tijani-Adenle, a senior lecturer at the Lagos State University (LASU).

He will be buried according to Islamic rites on Thursday, February 6, 2024, at Atan Cemetery in Lagos.

The late Tijani was the Chief Executive Officer of SportsXclusive and Sports Focus International.

Tijani also worked as the Chief Press Secretary to the late former Minister of Sports, Chief Alex Akinyele.

The late Tijani, who started as a sports journalist in 1987, has travelled wide and far to cover sporting events across the globe. Worked at the Guardian Newspaper, Complete Football, Fame magazine, Channels TV and BEN TV in the United Kingdom before starting his own sports company.

Slight correction on something though, Malcolm X was the one who got the name "Omowale" and not Malcolm. Cheers.

Marvieduke:
Mr Eazi Trends as Viral Photos of His Grey Hair Spark Online Buzz

Nigerian music star and entrepreneur, Mr Eazi, is currently making headlines across social media — and this time, it’s not for a new song or business deal, but for his noticeably greying hair.

The 34-year-old singer began trending in early February 2026 after recent public appearances, including at the Africa Prosperity Dialogue 2026, where fans spotted prominent silver-grey strands. Side-by-side comparison photos showing his earlier darker-haired look and his current greying style quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and other platforms.

The Viral Look That Sparked Debate

Social media users wasted no time turning the photos into memes and hot takes. A wave of humorous comments linked the new look to his 2025 marriage to fashion influencer and actress Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola. Their wedding celebrations reportedly spanned luxurious locations including Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland.

Some playful reactions online read:

“Marriage never reach 2 years Mr Eazi hair don turn gray, fear women.”

“It’s not up to two years that Mr Eazi got married and grey hair is everywhere. Fear women.”

“The first man to grow grey hair after marriage.”

However, not everyone agrees with the “marriage stress” narrative.

Fans Offer More Realistic Explanations

Many supporters have pushed back, suggesting more grounded reasons for the singer’s new look. Some point out that greying hair can simply be genetic or part of natural ageing — especially at 34. Others believe he may have previously dyed his hair and has now decided to embrace a more natural appearance.

There are also those who credit his growing responsibilities. Beyond music, Mr Eazi is the founder of EmPawa Africa and has expanded into multiple investments and ventures across the continent. Supporters argue that building a business empire while maintaining a global music career could naturally come with stress and maturity.

As one fan put it, “Grey hair doesn’t mean old, it means experience. The hair is just adding extra character.”

From Dark to Distinguished

Older photos from his wedding era show the singer with noticeably darker hair, making the contrast with his recent public appearances even more striking — and meme-worthy.

Despite the online chatter, the conversation has largely remained lighthearted, with many praising his “distinguished” and mature look. Others have defended his privacy, urging critics not to overanalyze a natural change in appearance.

As of now, Mr Eazi has not publicly addressed the trending topic, allowing the internet to continue its classic Nigerian social media cruise.

Grey hair or not, the Afrobeats star remains focused on his music, philanthropy, and expanding business ventures — proving that a few silver strands are only adding to his brand of experience and style.

Otti really did well with this bridge. This kind of infrastructure can only be built when you vote the right person with no godfather to steal state allocation. Lagos has a lot to learn from Otti and Abia state, kudos governor Otti 👍

A brief moment of drama unfolded over the weekend at a Delta State billionaire’s birthday celebration when activist and vocal critic of President Bola Tinubu, Deji Adeyanju, declined a cap featuring the president’s insignia.

During the event, fashion entrepreneur Seyi Vodi, who was sporting a similar cap, offered one to Adeyanju in a gesture of camaraderie.

The activist, however, immediately refused the offer, a moment later captured on video and shared by Vodi.

I’ve been thinking about something lately, and I felt it was worth sharing.

Most of us use our phones every single day—scrolling, chatting, consuming content—but many young people don’t realize that the same phone can actually help them build real skills and even earn money.

About two years ago, I discovered that you can create full 3D animation using only a mobile phone.
No laptop. No expensive software. No complicated setup.

It amazed me so much that I decided to put together a free beginner-friendly course to help any young person who wants to explore creativity, learn a digital skill, or simply try something new that could open opportunities in the future.

And truly,
if you have a passion for storytelling, creativity, design, or you just want to learn something that can become a side hustle, this will really help you.

This isn’t an advert.
I just genuinely believe more young people should explore skills they can learn with what they already have.

If you’re interested in learning something new or discovering a creative skill that might surprise you, I can share the link.

Sometimes the biggest doors open from the smallest steps.

If you want to start learning immediately, here’s the free video lesson:

Investing in the stock market has become more popular than ever in Nigeria, especially with the rise of fintech apps and increased financial literacy campaigns. However, while many new investors are eager to jump in, very few truly understand the types of stocks they are buying — and this lack of understanding often leads to poor financial decisions.

If you're serious about building a profitable and resilient investment portfolio, understanding the different types of stocks is non-negotiable. This article breaks down the major categories of stocks on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) and what they mean for your investment goals.

1. Growth Stocks
Growth stocks belong to companies that are expected to grow at an above-average rate compared to other firms in the market. These companies usually reinvest their profits back into the business instead of paying dividends to shareholders.

Key features of growth stocks:

High revenue and earnings potential

Minimal or no dividend payouts

Often found in emerging sectors like technology, fintech, or telecommunications

High volatility and risk, but also the possibility of high returns

In Nigeria, examples include companies that are aggressively expanding their market share, launching new products, or exploring digital transformation.

Best for investors with a high risk appetite and long-term outlook.

2. Value Stocks
Value stocks are essentially "hidden" gems"—companies trading below their intrinsic value. Despite strong fundamentals and stable earnings, the market may temporarily undervalue these stocks due to economic conditions or investor sentiment.

Key features of value stocks:

Undervalued compared to their financials

Offer potential for price appreciation over time

Often come with regular dividends

Require investor patience and confidence in fundamentals

These are great picks for those who want to “buy low and hold.”

Best for: Long-term investors who can spot market inefficiencies.

3. Dividend and Blue-Chip Stocks
Dividend stocks are those that regularly pay a portion of the company’s profits to shareholders. Blue-chip stocks, on the other hand, are shares of large, reputable, and financially sound companies with a history of stable earnings.

In Nigeria, think of companies like MTN Nigeria, Dangote Cement, Zenith Bank, and Nestlé Nigeria.

Key features:

Regular income through dividends

Strong performance history

Lower volatility than growth or penny stocks

Ideal for preserving capital over time

Best for: Income-focused investors and those looking for portfolio stability.

4. Penny, Defensive, and Cyclical Stocks
Let’s touch on three lesser-discussed but important categories:

Penny Stocks
These are very low-priced stocks (often under ₦5), usually from small or struggling companies. They are highly speculative and risky due to low liquidity and transparency.

Defensive Stocks
These stocks belong to companies whose products or services remain in demand regardless of economic conditions — such as food, utilities, or healthcare. Their prices remain relatively stable in downturns.

Cyclical Stocks
Cyclical stocks mirror the health of the economy. When the economy thrives, these stocks perform well. When it declines, they dip. Think of banking, real estate, and construction companies.

Best for:

Penny stocks: high-risk takers

Defensive stocks: conservative investors

Cyclical stocks: investors who follow macroeconomic trends

Final Thoughts
Understanding stock categories is one of the most powerful tools you can use to reduce risk and boost your returns in the Nigerian market. The type of stock you invest in should align with your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment timeline.

Your bloodline is your persecution for the righteous. The devil has a bloodline too!

David Jacob Eisenhower is a German Jew. David and Jacob obvious Jewish names and the Eisenhower is strictly German. Askenaski Jews aren't Hebrews and actually hate being called Hebrew. Why? Because they are not sons of Abraham who was Black. The Indians who fled Indian area were Blacks after Aryan invasion and flooding their country side destroying rivers and reservoirs. Yet you can see that Jews have a preference for marrying lightskin mulattoe women.

It is always great to see another writer who joined Nairaland way back in the stone age when Oga Seun first created this online community. Man, it is scary to see how fast two decades sped by as though on fast forward.

I raise a toast to another two decades of sharing thoughts about Nigeria aboard the Nairaland train.

You said "stone age." That cracked me up over here.

Oh, you have good memories bro. I can relate to that ambode and psp owners saga. It's part of why they dealt with him. Bringing unpopular techniques to handle waste management without wider consultations, and it was a flop. I was passing oshodi last year, right inside the vehicle I was, just at bolade bus stop, I could sight a well dressed woman peeing during the day oo, around 2pm. She was peeing at the refuse abandoned on the road. I was like wtf is this man? My friends were like I never see anything. Common, Lagos state can do better.
