Sports › I'd Love To Collab With Ajagba, Osimhen – Jaywon by ModNL(op): 9:09am
I'd love to collab with Ajagba, Osimhen – Jaywon


Nigerian singer, songwriter, producer and actor Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, popularly known as Jaywon, speaks about his lifelong passion for sports, his admiration for Efe Ajagba, the similarities between music and sports, and the need for greater investment in young Nigerian talent in this exclusive interview with Temitayo Oshikoya.

---

How would you describe your relationship with sports?

Sports was actually my first love, even before music. Growing up, I was very passionate about football, and that passion has never left me. I played football, table tennis and snooker, and I still enjoy playing them today. I have always loved moving, acting, entertaining and challenging myself physically. I honestly do not see myself ever giving that up. If you have followed my journey from the beginning, you will remember my very first music video, Filebe, where I was playing football. That should tell you how deeply sports have always been a part of my life. Music may have become my profession, but sports will always remain one of my greatest passions.

From your perspective, what similarities do you see between the lives of professional footballers and those of musicians in Nigeria?

For me, it is all about love, mutual respect and appreciating greatness. I have always been passionate about sports, so naturally, I connect with athletes who are doing fantastic things in their respective fields. I have great relationships with people like Robert Martinez, Obatala, Ighalo, Lota and several others. Whenever we meet, it is always genuine love and respect. Beyond fame, I believe entertainers and footballers share a lot in common. We both represent our country, entertain millions of people, face enormous expectations and work extremely hard to remain relevant. Whether you are making music or playing football, excellence deserves recognition and respect.

Nigerian footballers like Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and Alex Iwobi have enjoyed success internationally. What does this say about Nigerian talent?

Their success proves that Nigerian talent is limitless. If Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and Alex Iwobi can compete and excel at the highest international level, it means countless other young Nigerians can achieve the same with the right opportunities, encouragement and support. That is why I strongly believe we should invest in discovering and developing younger talents. A similar story is unfolding in music. Afrobeats has grown into one of the most influential sounds in the world today. When you see international artists, including American rappers, embracing Afrobeats and creating projects influenced by our sound, it tells you how far African music has travelled.

Do you think there should be more collaborations between musicians and the sports industry in Nigeria?

Absolutely! I have always believed there is tremendous power in collaboration. Music and sports are two industries with the ability to connect millions of people, especially young people. Bringing them together creates opportunities for greater visibility, talent discovery, brand partnerships and economic growth. Imagine more collaborations between musicians, football clubs, athletes and sporting organizations. Beyond entertainment, these partnerships could inspire young people, create employment and open emerging talents to bigger audiences. When the music industry and sports work together, everybody benefits. I believe there is enormous potential for music and sports to complement each other, and we should explore those opportunities more actively.

Who is your favourite sports personality, and what do you admire most about them?

I appreciate so many incredible athletes, but right now I would have to say Nigerian heavyweight boxer Efe Ajagba, popularly known as The Silent Roller. I admire his strength, discipline, confidence and determination. He is the kind of fighter who is not afraid. His boxing ability, power and composure make him a serious challenge for anyone in the heavyweight division. What I respect most is his mentality. He keeps working, keeps improving and continues to represent Nigeria proudly on the international stage. I am genuinely rooting for him to reach the very top of heavyweight boxing.

If you were asked to create a song to inspire a Nigerian national team, what message would you want the song to pass across?

My message would be simple: believe in yourself, never give up and remember where you come from. But beyond inspiring the national team, I would also want the song to draw attention to the importance of supporting grassroots talent. Nigeria has so much to offer the world. When it comes to talent, I genuinely believe we have barely scratched the surface. There are extraordinary young athletes in communities across the country who simply need someone to believe in them and give them an opportunity because greatness can come from anywhere.

What advice would you give young people hoping to build successful careers in sports, based on your own journey in the music industry?

My advice is simple: If you are willing to put in the work, you give yourself a real chance to succeed. There are no shortcuts to lasting greatness. Every champion you admire today has made sacrifices that most people will never see. I have learned from my journey in music that talent alone is never enough. You need discipline, consistency, patience and the courage to keep going when things are not working out. Do not allow temporary setbacks to discourage you. Do not compare your journey to someone else's because everybody has a different path.

Nigerian football supporters are famously passionate about their clubs and the Super Eagles. Do you think music and sports have a similar power to unite Nigerians across ethnic, religious and social differences?

Absolutely! In fact, I believe music and sports are two of the most powerful forces bringing Nigerians and Africans together today. When the Super Eagles are playing, nobody is asking whether a player is Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa, or whether they are Christian or Muslim. Everybody just wants Nigeria to win. The same thing happens with music. A good song unites people regardless of their background, language, religion or social status. That is the beauty of music and sports: they bring people together through shared experiences and passions. That is exactly why I believe our government should invest more seriously in both sectors. If national unity is genuinely a priority, these are platforms that naturally bring people together without forcing it. Music and sports have achieved a level of unity that politics continues to struggle to deliver. That alone should tell us how important they are to our society.

If you had the opportunity to work with a Nigerian athlete on a project combining music and sports, who would you be interested in collaborating with, and what would you hope to achieve through the partnership?

Two names immediately come to mind: Victor Osimhen and Efe Ajagba. I have tremendous respect for both athletes because of their work ethic, determination and the sacrifices they have made to reach their respective levels. What I admire most about them is their ability to keep pushing despite adversity. They do not allow challenges to define them. They remain focused, continue working and keep striving for greatness. Those are values I strongly identify with because my journey in music has also been built on persistence, sacrifice and believing in myself even when the odds were against me.

DJ Humility Celebrates Mother's Birthday Days After Grandmother's Burial


Popular Nigerian veteran disc jockey, Benedict Afagwu, professionally known as DJ Humility, has celebrated his mother's birthday just days after laying his grandmother to rest.

The Rhythm 93.7 FM Lagos resident DJ took to his social media page earlier today, October 26, 2026, to share a heartfelt birthday tribute to his mother, marking a swift turn from mourning to celebration within the same family.

The celebration comes barely 72 hours after the funeral rites of his beloved grandmother, Late Ezinne Maria Eruru Nwachi Afagwu (Nee Okwudei), who was laid to rest at the remarkable age of 108 years.

According to the Order of Funeral Mass, the burial was held on Friday, 23rd October, 2026, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Akumazi-Umuocha. It was described as a celebration of a fulfilled life. 4553505795817473658

Late Ezinne Maria was the mother of Late ASP Samuel Afagwu, DJ Humility's father, who died following a clash between police and soldiers in October 2005. The family noted that the tragedy nearly claimed the matriarch's life at the time, but she lived on to become a symbol of strength and faith.

Despite the recent loss, DJ Humility, who is regarded as one of the pioneers of hyping in Nigerian nightlife and founder of Classic DJs and H. Records, chose to honor his mother in grand style, appreciating her for her love, sacrifice and resilience.

In his post, the award-winning DJ expressed gratitude for life and family, noting that even in moments of grief, there is still reason to give thanks and celebrate the living.

Fans, colleagues, and well-wishers have since flooded his comment section with congratulatory messages for his mother while also extending continued condolences over his grandmother's passing.

DJ Humility Celebrates Life Of Late Grandmother As She Is Laid To Rest — 21 Years After Family Tragedy

It was a celebration of a fulfilled life as popular Nigerian disc jockey, Benedict Afagwu, famously known as DJ Humility, laid his beloved grandmother, Late Ezinne Maria Eruru Nwachi Afagwu (Nee Okwudei), to rest at the remarkable age of 108 years.

The funeral rites, according to the Order of Funeral Mass booklet, were held on Friday, 23rd October, 2026, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Akumazi-Umuocha, by 10:00am prompt, preceded by a Requiem Mass in her honour in her Lagos parish.

But behind the celebration is a story of pain, resilience and a family tragedy that shaped the last 20 years of Mama's life.

Late Ezinne Maria was the mother of Late ASP Samuel Afagwu, who served as the O.C. Transport Officer of Area C Police Command, Surulere.

According to the family, the tragic incident occurred on October 5th, 2005, following a clash between officers of the Nigerian Police and Nigerian soldiers. The family recounted that ASP Afagwu was pushed from upstairs during the altercation and was rushed to St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos Island, where he later died on October 29th, 2005.

DJ Humility and his family lived in the same Surulere Police Barracks, Area C Command, before Ojuelegba, where he was born and brought up.

Following his death, the family disclosed that Barr. Festus Keyamo, now a Minister in the Tinubu administration, was DJ Humility's lawyer in the matter. They were however advised by his then-boss, Mr. Ben Murray-Bruce, CEO of Silverbird TV, to let go of the case. At the time, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was Governor of Lagos State while Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was President.

The family stated that no compensation has been paid till date after the tragedy — an incident that nearly claimed the life of Late Ezinne Maria herself.
"This tragedy nearly killed her mother then, and ever since then she has been managing her health till she gave up the ghost," the family source said.
Despite the trauma, Late Ezinne Maria lived on to become a symbol of strength and faith, reaching 108 years.

Her grandson, DJ Humility, has risen from humble beginnings to become one of Nigeria's most respected veteran DJs — resident DJ at Rhythm 93.7 FM Lagos, pioneer of hyping in Nigerian nightlife, and founder of Classic DJs and H. Records.

She is survived by children, grandchildren including DJ Humility, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Adieu, Ezinne Maria Eruru Nwachi Afagwu (1918 - 2026)!

TV/Movies › From Cinema Screens To Global Streaming: Critically Acclaimed Nollywood Hit “DAR by ModNL(op): 2:01pm On Sep 21
From Cinema Screens to Global Streaming: Critically Acclaimed Nollywood Hit “DARA: A Port Harcourt Love Story” Debuts on Fawesome TV

Port Harcourt’s biggest love story is now streaming to the world.

After a successful run in Nigerian cinemas and making history as the only African film selected for the 2026 DC Independent Film Festival, the romantic drama DARA: A Port Harcourt Love Story is officially streaming on Fawesome TV.

The film, which first hit cinemas nationwide on September 5, 2025, is now available to millions of viewers worldwide for FREE on the fast-rising streaming platform Fawesome TV.

A Love Story That Captured a City

DARA is an emotional coming-of-age story – a tale of love, passion and danger. It follows Dara (Bless Smile), an upcoming TikTok dancer who gains admission to university in Port Harcourt, only to find campus life is nothing like he expected. When he falls for Sophie, played by breakout Nollywood star Tomi Ojo, he finds himself in the crosshairs of campus terror Agama (Kage Umenze), with dire consequences.

Written by Miracle Abia, directed by Bobby Rak and produced by MMAC Company Productions / Emmanuel “Smile” Edi, the film delivers a deeply emotional and culturally grounded story that highlights love in the vibrant oil city of Port Harcourt.

Celebrity Power Meets Fresh Talent

The film boasts a stellar, buzz-worthy cast blending Nollywood royalty with Gen-Z favorites:

Tomi Ojo as Sophie – the rising star who has become one of Nollywood’s most talked-about leading ladies
Tina Mba – the veteran screen icon
Bless Smile (@_bless_smile) – the TikTok sensation turned leading man
Kage Umenze (Kage The Actor)

Riyo David, Prince Ren aka Jagaban, Abobi Eddieroll and more


Shot entirely on location in Port Harcourt, the film made the city itself a main character – its skyline and streets providing the perfect canvas for Dara’s journey.

From Grassroots to Global

Producer Emmanuel Edi says the journey from Port Harcourt billboards and street canvassing to international festivals and now global streaming is a dream come true.

“We made this film with limited funding but with a big heart for Port Harcourt. We relied on grassroots methods, social media, and the love of the people. To see DARA move from cinemas to being selected among five feature films in Washington DC, and now to Fawesome TV where anyone in the world can watch it for free – it proves that authentic Nigerian stories have no limits.

With its selection for DCIFF 2026 at the Regal Theatre, Gallery Place, Washington DC on February 15, 2026, the film has already proven its international appeal.

Now, the Port Harcourt love story goes worldwide.

DARA: A Port Harcourt Love Story is now streaming exclusively on Fawesome TV.

Available on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android, iOS and at www.fawesome.tv

TV/Movies › Mr Aloy TV Praised By Fans For Consistent Production Of Life-changing Films by ModNL(op): 5:28pm On Sep 19
Mr Aloy TV, the fast-rising Nollywood YouTube platform founded by filmmaker and content creator Emma Chinedum aka Mr Aloy, is receiving widespread praise from fans and critics for its consistent production of life-changing, family-centered films.

The channel, which has grown from a comedy skit platform since 2012 into a full-fledged film studio, recently hit a historic milestone of 1 Million YouTube Subscribers, cementing its place as one of Africa's most influential digital film destinations.

In what fans have described as a "thank-you gift with a message," Mr Aloy marked the celebration with the release of his latest original feature film, "My Sweet Pain," now streaming exclusively on his YouTube channel.

The emotional family drama, which premiered on June 21, 2026, stars Nollywood screen legend Patience Ozokwo, MFR – fondly known as Mama G – alongside Okawa Shaznay and Qwasi Blay, and has already surpassed 1 million views just days after its premiere.

From the trending family rollercoaster "I Raised You" to the newly released thought-provoking drama "Truthful Lie" which premiered August 2, 2026, Mr Aloy TV has built a reputation for stories that tackle real African realities – marriage, betrayal, financial hardship, family responsibility, and redemption.

Fans on social media have lauded the platform for staying consistent where many have faded, describing Mr Aloy TV as "Nollywood at its finest" with "raw emotions and captivating storytelling that glues you to your seat".

Speaking on the milestone and the fan love, Mr Aloy said:
"This is a journey of success built on consistency, faith, and the love of the people". He described the accomplishment as a collective victory made possible by the unwavering support of his audience across the world.
Industry watchers note that Mr Aloy's journey – from a medical laboratory professional from Anambra State to Nollywood actor with his 2010 debut "Destruction Instinct," to creating the iconic gateman character in "My Kids and I" – is a testament to persistence and reinvention in the digital era.

With celebrity collaborations including Patience Ozokwo, Eddie Watson, Chinyere Wilfred, Ruth Kadiri and more, Mr Aloy TV is now championing African storytelling for a global digital audience.

My Sweet Pain and other Mr Aloy TV original films are now streaming on YouTube: Mr Aloy Tv.

Celebrities › From Oil Rigs To Wig And Gown: Alafaa Kariboye-igbo Bags Law Degree, Called To B by ModNL(op): 6:21pm On Sep 12
From Oil Rigs to Wig and Gown: Alafaa Kariboye-Igbo Bags Law Degree, Called to Bar


Rivers State-born businessman and philanthropist, Alafaa Kariboye-Igbo, popularly known as “Oil Money,” has added another major milestone to his growing list of achievements with his recent qualification in law and call to the Bar.

Kariboye-Igbo, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Karib Oil & Gas and Oil Money Records, as well as founder of the Oil Money Foundation, has successfully completed his law degree and emerged a Barrister and Solicitor.

The UK-based entrepreneur, who already holds a degree from the University of London, has built a business portfolio with interests spanning oil and gas, real estate and entertainment.

His latest academic accomplishment marks a significant new chapter in the career of the businessman, who hails from Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State.

From the oil and gas industry to entertainment and philanthropy, Kariboye-Igbo has over the years developed a reputation for pursuing diverse interests while maintaining a strong focus on entrepreneurship and youth empowerment.


Beyond the academic accomplishment, the new qualification is expected to add another dimension to Kariboye-Igbo’s involvement in business, particularly in an environment where legal knowledge is increasingly critical to corporate governance, contracts, investments and commercial transactions.

A close associate of the businessman described the development as both a personal achievement and a strategic addition to his professional career.

“For years, he has been involved in complex business negotiations and major commercial decisions. Studying law gives him an even deeper understanding of the legal framework surrounding the businesses he has built,” the associate said.

Kariboye-Igbo has also continued to attract attention through his activities in the entertainment industry, particularly with Oil Money Records, while his philanthropic initiatives through the Oil Money Foundation have focused on supporting students, widows and other vulnerable members of society.

Established in November 2020, the foundation has positioned itself around youth empowerment and interventions aimed at improving the lives of disadvantaged Nigerians.

Reflecting on the achievement, Kariboye-Igbo described his call to the Bar as the fulfilment of a personal ambition and a testament to discipline and resilience.

“This wig and gown represents more than a personal dream. It represents discipline, resilience, and the belief that you can always become more.

“I built businesses in oil and entertainment, but I wanted to build myself in law. To understand justice is to be better equipped to serve the people, empower the youth, and protect what we have built.

“This is for every young Nigerian who thinks it’s too late to go back to school, it’s never too late,” he said.

The achievement has since generated congratulatory messages from associates, business partners, entertainers and beneficiaries of his philanthropic initiatives.

For Kariboye-Igbo, the journey from entrepreneurship to the legal profession represents yet another demonstration of his belief in continuous learning and personal development.

With the addition of the legal profession to his business and philanthropic interests, the businessman is now set to combine his experience in entrepreneurship with formal legal training as he continues to expand his interests across different sectors.
