Imagine, a division in the Nigeria Army's wives association along ethnicity group...what a shame

Isn’t that what they do? Who marries into another ethnicity and starts doing parapo? What do they discuss in an association such as the one below? Surely not anything good about their Yoruba in-laws.

Tinubuadvocate:
What I still don't understand about the whole thing why must this coup tagged igbo coup while hausa fulani people staged many coups .

It’s was the 1st

In fact IBB described in the book that after the coup, Igbo wives of Igbo officers in the barracks were insulting and mocking northern officers wives. And that the barracks became unbearable for northerners.

Dt betty akeredolus disgusting character na follow come.🤮

.

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, said there is nowhere in former military Head of State Ibrahim Babangida’s book, A Journey in Service, where he stated that the coup of January 15, 1966, was not an Igbo coup.

Fani-Kayode insisted that those claiming it was not an Igbo coup are wrong, stating that they are either misguided and misinformed or mischievous.

The ex-Minister stated in a post on his X handle that IBB was charitable to the Igbos in his book. He, however, noted that this does not give anyone the license to misinterpret Babangida’s words and conclusions or use them in an attempt to revise history.

He wrote:

"It was heinously callous for Nzeogwu to have murdered Sir Ahmadu Bello and his wife, Hafsatu, because not only were they eminently adored by many but also because they were said not to have put up a fight. From that moment the putsch was infiltrated by "outsiders" to its supposed original intention and it took on an unmistakable ethnic coloration compounded by the fact that there were no related coup activities in the Eastern Region"- President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, 'A Journey In Service: An Autobiography', February 2025.

I hate to burst your bubble, but there is NOWHERE in IBB’s book where he said that the coup of January 15, 1966, was NOT an Igbo coup.

In fact, he alluded to the contrary above, when he said the coup had taken on an ‘unmistakable ethnic coloration.

That is what he wrote, and that is the reality. The coup was an ethnic one, and that ethnicity was Igbo!

Those who have misinterpreted his words and claimed that he wrote the coup was not an Igbo coup are either misguided and misinformed or being mischievous.

They have a poor understanding of the English language and, in most cases, have not even read the book. Instead, they rely on erroneous social media quotes and well-crafted disinformation.

I suggest that they procure a copy of the book, read it from cover to cover, and stop attempting to revise history by misinterpreting the words of the esteemed author.

IBB, in his characteristic manner, was charitable to the Igbos in his book, but that does not give anyone the license to misinterpret his words and conclusions or use them in an attempt to revise history.

The facts are clear, and they are as follows: 99% of the officers who planned and executed the Jan. 15, 1966, coup and were involved in the mutiny were Igbo, and 99% of those murdered by them were non-Igbo military officers and political leaders, in some cases including their wives.

We owe it to the memory of those who were so callously slaughtered not to sugarcoat the bitter truth, not to revise history, and not to tell lies.

The coup was UNMISTAKABLY an Igbo one, and IBB made this very clear when he wrote about its ‘ethnic coloration.

I urge all those who have a poor understanding of the English language and cannot read more than three lines of any book or essay to stop using his words to establish their revisionist and patently dishonest narrative and their futile attempt to perpetuate an age-old lie.

The truth is that the Jan. 15, 1966, coup WAS an Igbo one, and I am glad to say that IBB has confirmed it.

This is a FACT, and as our journalist friends will tell you, facts are sacred, and opinion is cheap.

Owning a football club >>>buying flashy diamond chains.

PS- her manager notes below that her intent is also to encourage talented Nigerian footballers to join the MLS through her club.

Temilade Openiyi, Nigerian singer popularly known as Tems, has joined the ownership group of San Diego FC in the Major League Soccer (MLS) in the US.

The American club announced the inclusion of the two-time Grammy award winner to its executives in a statement on Wednesday.

Tems acquired a stake in the club through The Leading Vibe, her company. The deal was also brokered through a partnership with Pave Investments, an African private investment firm that worked on driving investors for NBA Africa.

According to San Diego FC, the singer has become a club partner and shares a “commitment to excellence and community engagement”.

Tems, born in Lagos, described football as “a unique way of bringing people together,” adding that she looks forward “to help build something special in San Diego”.

“I am thrilled to join San Diego FC’s ownership group and to be part of a Club that celebrates creativity, culture, and the power of community,” the singer said.

“Football has a unique way of bringing people together, and I am excited to help build something special in San Diego, a city that thrives on diversity and innovation.”

Juan Mata, a former Chelsea player; Issa Rae, an American actress; and Jocko Willink, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL, are other San Diego FC ownership group members.

Tunde Baiyewu Nko?

Lighthouse family never won a grammy.

Karlovich:
My roots are in the country I was born in. Sade Adu and Seal are British musicians

This is not true. Most countries don't give citizenship by birth, only by ancestry. Anyway, Sade was born in ibadan.

ClearFlair:
And that bloody civilian girl

doggedfighter:
.I thought Seni Saraki won too ?
Isn't that Grammy?

Benwallt:
North Central

If an album wins a grammy, only the owner of the album wins the grammy statue. It doesnt go to the people featured on the album.
Its only if its a song that wins a grammy, then the person/people featured on that song also receive one.

This is a list of Nigerians that have reveived a Grammy award.


Congratulations to them all!

I never knew asake was this short.

Didnt you see him chatting with Wizkid in London? He was only slightly taller in the pictures.

atobs4real:
The richest woman in Nigeria is moving fast.
Good news. Making profit in businesses is key 🔑

Geregu is owned by Otedola. Not a woman.

Thank God Tems picked up her phone when Wizkid called. What a life changing journey from that moment. You can be Grammy-level talented but if the world doesn't know you, they just don't know you. You will just be in dt corner wallowing.

Some of the Nigerians artists nominated for this years Grammy awards were spotted on the red carpet looking dapper and beautiful:


1. Asake & Rema

2. Yemi Alade

3. Lojay

4. Asake & Yemi Alade

The nominees were:

Best African Music Performance – Grammy 2025
✅ “Love Me JeJe” – Tems (WINNER) 🏆
❌ “Tomorrow” – Yemi Alade
❌ “MMS” – Asake & Wizkid
❌ “Sensational” – Chris Brown ft. Davido & Lojay
❌ “Higher” – Burna Boy

Nigerian Afrobeats star Tems has secured her second Grammy Award, winning in the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Recording Academy Awards 2025.

Her hit song Love Me Jeje triumphed in a category dominated by Afrobeats heavyweights, with Chris Brown as the only non-Afrobeats nominee.
Tems faced strong competition from fellow Nigerian artistes, including Burna Boy, Asake, and Wizkid for their collaboration MMS, as well as Yemi Alade and Davido, who featured alongside Lojay on Chris Brown’s Sensational.

This latest achievement further cements Tems’ status as one of Africa’s most celebrated global music icons.

'Edo no be Lagos o'.

Happy voting to Edo state!

Crafteck1:
Im yoruba, both cultures like almost every culture in the world is marred with so much impunities.... The colorful display of cultures is only on the surface, deep inside almost all are filled with evil, culture, religion, race, tribal affiliation or group only bring people together on the surface, when you zoom out at the bigger picture, these factors ultimately seperate us....

ur point?
No head or tail.

Well done girl.

Wow, she got a custom license plate too.

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwolu just announced this on his instagram page. He posted the following:

Every journey starts with a single step, and
@peluminubi_
‘s step from London to Lagos by road is nothing short of inspirational.

It's a pleasure to congratulate Pelumi, now a Lagos Tourism Ambassador, whose resilience, positive energy, and unwavering spirit are truly worth emulating. A heartfelt thank you to her parents for nurturing such a remarkable soul.

In recognition of her incredible feat, the State will take over her entire bill for the trip, she has also received a brand new car and an apartment in Lagos, ensuring her journey continues on a path of success.

Pelumi, your dedication lights the way for others, and we're thrilled to support you as you blaze forward.
