Five-time GRAMMY-winning global music icon Angélique Kidjo has returned with a brand new single titled “Aye Kan (Are You Coming Back)”, featuring Nigerian Afropop star Ayra Starr, in what is being described as a powerful cross-generational collaboration.

The single, released on March 27, 2026, serves as a precursor to Kidjo’s highly anticipated album HOPE!!, scheduled for release on April 24 under Warner Music Group. The song blends rich African musical heritage with contemporary pop influences, delivering a message that redefines love as true wealth in a world often driven by materialism.

Accompanied by a cinematic music video shot at the iconic Power Station Studio in New York, the visuals capture both artistes in an intimate performance setting, illuminated by candlelight and framed by a grand piano, reflecting the song’s central theme of love, connection, and emotional richness.

The collaboration also tells a deeper story of inspiration and legacy. Ayra Starr, who has often cited Kidjo as a major influence, recalled how witnessing the veteran singer’s success shaped her own ambitions. “Angélique Kidjo winning in 2008 was so important for me to see… She’s from Benin Republic, which is where I was born, so it made me believe I could do the same thing one day,” Starr said.

Kidjo, in turn, noted that the admiration was mutual and instrumental in bringing the project to life. “I discovered Ayra Starr first through her music… Later, I sent her a DM saying I’d love to work with her,” she revealed.

The forthcoming album HOPE!! is a 16-track project dedicated to Kidjo’s late mother and is expected to feature an array of global stars, including Pharrell Williams, Davido, Quavo, Nile Rodgers, and Charlie Wilson, among others. The project follows her 2021 GRAMMY-winning album Mother Nature and continues her legacy of genre-defying music rooted in African identity.

Beyond music, Kidjo has remained a strong voice for global unity and humanitarian causes, notably through her foundation, Batonga Foundation, and her role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the album, Kidjo emphasized the need for optimism in challenging times. “Sometimes it feels as though the world is losing hope at such a rapid pace that it’s endangering our humanity,” she said. “My hope is that these songs bring happiness to everyone, but also remind them that we were all put here to help and love each other.”

With “Aye Kan (Are You Coming Back)” already generating buzz, expectations are high that HOPE!! will further cement Kidjo’s status as one of Africa’s most influential musical exports, while also spotlighting the rising global impact of talents like Ayra Starr.

Ghanaian music legend and multiple award-winning artiste, Samini, has officially announced the release of his eighth studio album titled ORIGIN8A, scheduled to drop on February 12, 2026.

The project represents a major milestone in the veteran musician’s career, symbolised by the 8-ball featured on the album cover a powerful metaphor reflecting destiny, alignment, completeness and a return to one’s true musical path.

“This album represents my journey coming full circle. ORIGIN8A is about remembering where I come from, reconnecting with my roots and celebrating the people who shaped my story,” the artiste said.

The album features notable appearances from Mugeez of R2Bees, Stonebwoy, Kofi Kinaata and Kaakie — collaborations widely seen as a statement of unity, respect and shared history within Ghana’s music ecosystem.

In addition to the reunion tracks, the album also boasts an impressive lineup of collaborators including the internationally renowned Soweto Gospel Choir, Ghanaian lyricist M.anifest and Afropop star Kuami Eugene, blending multiple generations and cultural influences into one cohesive project.

Musically, ORIGIN8A delivers a rich pan-African soundscape, spanning traditional African rhythms, Highlife, Afrobeats, Afropop, Amapiano, African Dancehall and Reggae. The album reflects Samini’s artistic evolution while remaining firmly rooted in the sounds that defined his early career.

According to Samini, the symbolism of the 8-ball goes beyond visuals.

“After all the years of experimenting, touring and evolving, I believe this is the moment where everything aligns again. ORIGIN8A is purpose-driven music,” he added.

The album will be distributed globally by Prime Music Partners, ensuring its availability across major digital streaming platforms worldwide.

Commenting on the partnership, Akeju, founder of Prime Music Partners, expressed confidence in the project’s impact.

“Samini is one of Africa’s most authentic musical voices. ORIGIN8A is not just an album, it’s a cultural statement. We are proud to be distributing this project and taking its message to audiences across the world,” Akeju said.

ORIGIN8A will be available on all major digital platforms on February 12, 2026, marking another defining chapter in Samini’s enduring legacy within African music.

Jubril Arogundade, a former senior executive of CIG Motors, has clarified the circumstances surrounding his departure from the company, following recent media reports and public commentary that inaccurately described his exit as a termination.

Mr. Arogundade stated that he voluntarily resigned from his position on December 2, 2025, in full compliance with his contractual obligations and established internal procedures. He explained that his resignation was submitted in writing, formally acknowledged by management, and included an agreed notice period and structured exit timeline.

He stressed that any public representation of his departure as a termination is false and does not reflect the actual sequence of events.

“I resigned from my position at CIG Motors after careful consideration and in line with due process,” he said. “It is concerning that my voluntary exit has been mischaracterised. I believe strongly in transparency and professionalism, and I am compelled to set the record straight.”

Reasons for Resignation

Arogundade explained that his decision followed prolonged concerns relating to corporate governance, financial discipline, and regulatory compliance within the organisation. He noted that these issues were raised through appropriate internal channels over time, in keeping with his responsibilities as a senior executive and his commitment to ethical business conduct.

According to him, the key concerns included gaps in corporate governance, weak internal controls, an expanding and unsustainable debt profile, and unresolved regulatory and compliance issues.

He added that his decision to step aside was guided by principle and professional responsibility, particularly where continued association could compromise his personal standards of accountability.

“As a Nigerian professional, I take governance, compliance, and institutional responsibility very seriously,” he said. “When sustained internal efforts failed to yield the necessary corrective action, I chose to resign rather than compromise on standards essential to sustainable business.”

Response to Allegations

Arogundade firmly denied any allegations of financial misconduct, stating that he has nothing to hide and welcomes any lawful, independent review of his conduct.

He clarified that he has not been contacted by any law enforcement or regulatory agency in relation to the claims and remains fully available to cooperate should any legitimate inquiry arise.

“I have conducted myself with integrity throughout my career,” he said. “I am confident that any objective review will affirm this.”

Professional Record and Achievements

During his tenure at CIG Motors, Arogundade played a significant role in strengthening the company’s operations in Nigeria, with a focus on local capacity development, employment of Nigerian professionals, operational expansion, and enhanced brand visibility.

Under his leadership, the company earned several industry accolades, including Most Innovative Automotive Brand of the Year (Brandcom Awards 2024), Most Innovative Automobile Brand of the Year (Brandcom Awards 2023), 2023 Auto Company of the Year (Champions Award 2024), Most Innovative Automobile Company in Consumer Engagement, Outstanding Distributor (GAC China, 2023), Best in Business (National Daily Awards), Automobile Manufacturer of the Year (Peace Legend Awards 2022), and Fastest Growing Automobile Company of the Year (Brandcom Awards 2022).

He also supported initiatives aligned with Nigeria’s industrial development goals, strengthening strategic partnerships and contributing to the company’s national and international recognition. He noted that these achievements reflect a professional record anchored on credibility, competence, and service.

Call for Responsible Reporting

Arogundade disclosed that he has taken appropriate legal and professional steps to protect his reputation and address the spread of inaccurate or misleading information. He called on media organisations and commentators to uphold fairness, balance, and responsible journalism.

“Reputations are built over years and should not be undermined by inaccuracies or trial by media,” he said. “I am confident that the truth, when properly examined, will speak for itself.”

Nigeria will be better soon

Ghanaian music legend, Samini, is set to make waves once again with the release of his much-anticipated single titled “Far Away,” a powerful and reflective track that speaks to resilience, focus, and self-preservation in an era of negativity and envy.

The award-winning reggae and dancehall artist, known for his lyrical depth and socially conscious music, described “Far Away” as a message to every hustler and dreamer striving to succeed against the odds.

“It’s about recognizing the energy around you,” Samini said. “When you’re pushing forward in life, not everyone clapping for you means well. Far Away is my reminder to keep moving, keep winning, and stay grounded no matter who tries to pull you back.”

The single, which will be released exclusively on Audiomack, serves as a prelude to Samini’s forthcoming studio album, Origin8a, one of the most anticipated projects in African music this year. The album, according to the artiste, captures his journey of growth — blending maturity, mastery, and musical evolution while staying true to his roots.

Industry watchers say “Far Away” reinforces Samini’s reputation as an artist whose music not only entertains but also enlightens. His ability to merge reggae, dancehall, and afrobeats with messages of hope and consciousness continues to set him apart as one of Africa’s most respected voices in music.

With Origin8a on the horizon, fans are already eager for what promises to be another defining moment in Samini’s illustrious career.

Go get the crown

The African Renaissance and Diaspora Network (ARDN) in partnership with the UN Permanent Mission of Senegal and UNFPA, UN-Habitat, UNEP, UNDP and other UN agencies is set to host the 2024 Africa Day celebrations at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Friday, May 24th, from 3 pm to 5 pm ET. This annual event offers a unique platform to celebrate the success and diversity of the African continent, highlighting its economic and cultural potential.

This year’s theme, "Women of Africa and the Diaspora and Agricultural Development," aims to increase public awareness of the crucial role women play in agriculture. It also underscores the economic and social dimensions of African countries and the African Diaspora. A key focus will be on the importance of education—both for women, to empower them with necessary knowledge and tools, and for men, to promote allies and equal partnership.

Dr. Djibril Diallo, President and CEO of ARDN, emphasized the critical role of women in agriculture for the continent's future. “A vibrant and strong agricultural sector is necessary for countries in Africa and the African diaspora, and their people, to thrive in the 21st century,” he said. “Recognizing and supporting the role and work of women in agriculture is critical for achievement of the sustainable development goals, and Africa Agenda 2063.”

Despite their significant contributions, women in agriculture face numerous challenges, including limited access to land, water, seeds, fertilizers, markets, credit, and financial services. These challenges are often exacerbated by inequitable laws and customs that favor male inheritance and impede women's land ownership.

The objectives of the 2024 Africa Day celebrations include exploring the intersection between women’s rights and agricultural development within the framework of the Campaign to Give a Red Card to All Forms of Discrimination and Violence Against Women and Girls, showcasing the potential and promise of Africa, and promoting a positive narrative of the continent. The event will also recognize developments and advancements in Africa from 1963 to the present, inspire and empower women in leadership roles within agriculture and related sectors, and highlight and popularize the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goals 2 (Zero Hunger), 5 (Gender Equality), and 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), in alignment with Africa Agenda 2063.


ARDN Goodwill Ambassador Akeju Abass also shared his perspective on the event's significance. “The Africa Day celebration is not only a moment to reflect on our heritage but also to forge a path forward,” Abass stated. “By empowering women and addressing disparities in agriculture, we are planting the seeds for a more prosperous and equitable future for all Africans and the diaspora.”

ARDN’s efforts also include mobilizing the African Diaspora to foster stronger ties with the continent, aiming to accelerate its economic and social development. "The convening powers of sports and culture play a significant role in our mission to eliminate discrimination and violence against women and girls," Dr. Diallo added.

As the Governorship Candidate for the People’s Redemption Party in Edo State, Nigeria, Patience Ndidi Key (Uwagboe) reflects on the profound significance of Mother’s Day, celebrated globally on May 12, 2024.

"This occasion is a profound reminder of the pivotal role women play in every facet of society," says Patience Ndidi. "Not only as mothers but as leaders, innovators, and visionaries."

In her statement, Patience Ndidi calls for the recognition and elevation of women who are forging paths in governance and leadership worldwide. She highlights exemplary women leaders such as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi of the United States.

Drawing attention to Nigeria's rich history of women in leadership, Patience Ndidi acknowledges notable figures such as Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Amina J. Mohammed, Obiageli Ezekwesili, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Folorunso Alakija, Arunma Oteh, Blessing Ibukun Awosika, Pastor Bimbo Odukoya, and Grace Alele-Williams.

"These women exemplify that leadership knows no gender and should not be constrained by outdated stereotypes," states Patience Ndidi.

Patience Ndidi also addresses the divisive myth that women do not support each other, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and mentorship among women leaders.

"As we move forward, let us shift our perspective to recognize the everyday contributions of women around us," urges Patience Ndidi. "Let us commit to empowering women every day, fostering an environment where young girls can aspire to any role without limitation or prejudice."

Patience Ndidi calls upon citizens of Edo State and beyond to join her in the commitment to women's leadership, advocating for the amplification of women’s voices and the celebration of their achievements.

"In empowering women, we empower humanity," concludes Patience Ndidi.

Congratulations to him.. This is not we are actually talking about now, why is dollar 1200?

She's beautiful but am sure there are other standout contestants.

Also, with Tinubu as our president we have serious problem connecting with international audience as they will always question our identity or even quality.


Tinubu could be the worst thing that ever happened to Nigeria

Congratulations to her.. The last photo tho, she's got it down there

Nigerian police should be able to investigate this further and do justice. This is how to make a country work by making even the rich to face the rash of the law once convicted of a crime
