Celebrities / Seun Kuti Dares Wizkid Fans To Build Primary School by KatB: 2:43pm On Jun 29, 2021
Afrobeats musician, Seun Kuti has slammed Wizkid FC after they cyberbullied him when Wizkid claims he listens to his album.

The Nation had reported Seun Kuti stepped on the toes of Wizkid FC as he continued to downplay Wizkidayo’s Grammy award because he did not win it for his music but for appearing in Beyonce’s music video.

However, Big Wiz appealed with the saxophonist in the comments section not to give ears to what his fans were saying.

The father of three added Seun should grab his sax and make good music as they are still enjoying his last album ‘Black Times’ released in 2018.

In a recent development, the teeming Wizkid FC interpreted Wizkidayo’s comment as sarcasm and have showed no signs of slowing down on hitting Bigbird Kuti.

They concluded the “Holla At Your Boy” singer was indirectly shading current leader of ‘Egypt 80’ band.

Seun responded to their claims in a recent video.

He explained that Wizkidayo was not being sarcastic with his comment as he genuinely listens to his album.

The singer also referred to Wizkid FC as “Buhari’s children” and dared them to build a school in Shitta, Lagos, Nigeria in honour of their star.

Health / 20 Handy Foods, Drinks That Improve Libido by KatB: 5:28pm On Jun 01, 2021
Libido, or sex drive, naturally varies between individuals. Having a low sex drive is not necessarily a problem but if a person wishes to boost their libido, they can try a range of effective natural methods.

Anxiety, relationship difficulties, health concerns, and age can all affect libido. While low libido is not usually problematic, it can affect a person’s relationships and self-esteem.

In this piece, we will be sharing 20 handy foods that aid the improvement of the male and female libido. So you don’t have to go seeking out kayanmata vendors as these are cheaper and readily available.

AVOCADOS

Avocados are rich in vitamin B6 and folic acid, which help increase overall energy, a major factor against that mood-killing evening energy crash.

B6 also helps regulate prolactin, a libido enhancer.

Avocados are also rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, though the mechanism is not entirely clear, current research suggests that monounsaturated fats help to increase testosterone production.

BELL PEPPERS

One large bell pepper contains nearly 600 percent of your needs for vitamin C.

Vitamin C aids in blood circulation to organs and has also been associated with improved female libido.

Note: All bell peppers are a great source of vitamin C but red peppers rank higher than green, so opt for them if you can.

DARK CHOCOLATES

“The Aztec ruler Montezuma (the final ruler of the Aztec Empire prior to the Spanish conquest) used to drink up to 50 cups of a chocolate drink before heading to his harem.

But to get the antioxidants from chocolate you don’t need as much as Montezuma. Choose chocolate made from 60-70 percent cocoa and eat 1-ounce servings.

Dark chocolate helps release the same chemicals as those released during sex. Those feel-good chemicals will help build desire with your partner.

Burna Boy revealed he was able to achieve his recent successes on the global stage because he came to a point where he realized that it’s either greatness or death.

Speaking in a recent interview with GQ Magazine, he said: “Following several collaborations with foreign artistes of African heritage, I just made up my mind that I wanted it all. I wanted to be the greatest.

That’s when it hit me really hard that I had to do it. It was that or death. I was not celebrating because of myself. It was almost as if I had broken a mental cycle of our people.

“Our people had been very mentally oppressed to feel like they could not do certain things and that certain things were unreachable.

“Every day, I realise more that things are bigger than me. I have to think for a lot of people basically a whole generation before I think of myself.”

Odogwu further revealed when he was young, he would sit, watch the Grammy Awards and dream.

For as long as he can remember, for as long as he has released songs, the Grammys have floated somewhere in his periphery, a milestone he was sure he would one day reach.
