AImiron: Nigerian-American superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has responded to allegations of debt against him by singer Dammy Krane.
Dammy Krane, who called out Davido over unpaid debt, in a series of posts on his official X on Tuesday, demanded to know why Davido doesn't want to maintain his end of their contract.
I know it is hard for Rich people to pay debts but @davido pay me my money at least because of my daughter’s sake ( your niece if at all ) school fees are not easy for Naija now, if not for my sake Blooda.
"Everybody is trying to secure their future. Na money we want no be wahala.
"Let's not forget that you took my signee, Idowest from my record label, I didn't talk because I saw you as a brother, neither did I drag with you because I had done my part to help him. Genuinely I want to know why you don't want to pay for a song that I wrote after all," he wrote.
However, Davido finally responded on Friday via a series of posts on X.
While referencing their collaboration on ‘Incase of Incasity’ and ‘Gbetiti’, Davido wrote: “I never got paid for that also my 3 verses I’ve gifted you all your dead careeer … .. oh yea plus my royalties , we charge now so that’s about $150 k x3 a verse.. also house rent and food when when u stayed in my house in Atlanta when you were homeless ..

chiagozien: Start Process Of Restructuring Nigeria Back To Regionalism, Release Nnamdi Kanu, Says Southern, Middle Belt Leaders' Forum To Tinubu
The leaders also called for the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), insisting that the government and security agencies must obey court orders in the country.
The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders' Forum (SMBLF) has asked President Bola Tinubu’s administration to commence work towards the restructuring of the country and enthrone ‘true federalism’ as was originally entrenched in the 1960 and 1963 constitutions.
The leaders also called for the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), insisting that the government and security agencies must obey court orders in the country
This is contained in a communique issued at the end of a crucial meeting of leaders and elders of the South East, South West, South-South, and Middle Belt Regions represented by Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Afenifere, Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), and the Middle Belt Forum respectively in Abuja on Thursday.
They observed that without restructuring, the future of Nigeria and democracy would remain bleak. Their resolution is that it must, therefore, be carried out immediately.
According to the communique jointly signed by Chief Edwin K. Clark – Leader; Chief Ayo Adebanjo - Leader, Afenifere; Chief Dr Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu - President-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide; General Zamani Lekwot (rtd.), Chairman, Middle Belt Elders Council, and former Military Governor, Rivers State; Dr Pogu Bitrus - President, Middle Belt Forum and Senator Emmanuel Ibok-Essien, FNSE - National Chairman, PANDEF, the leaders discussed exhaustively current developments in the country.
The forum expressed great concern and total rejection of the trend where certain sections of the country, are continually marginalised in states, local governments, and even appointments to the Federal Executive Council.
They insisted that the South East in particular should be appropriately represented on the Federal Executive Council, similar to other geo-political zones. They also resolved that Nigeria must always remain a country where all citizens and sections enjoy a full sense of belonging and equality
On the 2023 presidential election, the forum commended the political class, especially the leading candidates for their recourse to constitutional means in seeking redress for their grievances.
It, however, noted that it would make a pronouncement on the Supreme Court judgment that brought to an end the 2023 general election.
On other national concerns, the SMBLF urged the federal government to redouble efforts to assuage the daily depreciating living standard of Nigerians, by urgently salvaging the Naira, which has continued to depreciate daily.
It partly read: "SMBLF advices that the Federal Government should take urgent steps to release Nnamdi Kanu since a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered so. We believe that doing so will promote peace and security in the South East.
"That the Federal Capital Territory remains the national patrimony of all Nigerians; thus, condemns the present efforts by some to arrogate exclusiveness. This must be rejected and the promoters of such views should be called to order;
"Insists that President Tinubu takes an urgent look at the 2014 National Conference Report, concluded by 494 of the Country’s leaders, as well as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Report on True Federalism
"The Meeting resolved to set up a Strategic Committee on Restructuring and expressed readiness to interface with the Federal Government, the National Assembly, and all other stakeholders, on the enunciated issues."
Others who attended the meeting include Chief Senator Cornelius Adebayo, former Governor of Kwara State; Obong Victor Attah, former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, and Senator Emmanuel Ibok-Essien, National Chairman, PANDEF.
Others include General Lawrence Onoja (rtd.), former Military Governor of Katsina State; Lt. Gen. (Dr.) Ishaya Bamaiyi, former Chief of Army Staff; Chief Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, former Governor of Anambra State; Chief S.N. Okeke, former Chairman, Police Service Commission; Chief Onyema Ugochukwu, former Chairman of NDDC; Chief (Barr.) Sola Ebiseni, National Secretary, Afenifere; Amb. (Dr.) Godknows Igali; Amb. Okey Emuchay, Secretary General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide; Senator Nimi Barigha-Amange; Senator Musa Adede; Prof. G. G. Darah; Solomon Asemota SAN and D.I.G. Potter L. Dabup (rtd.).

Dr. Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, Prince Maikpobi Okareme, Jonathan Asake, Mrs. Elizabeth Jibrin, Chief Hon. Olivia Agbajoh Esq, Dr. Ken Robinson, among others.
nairavsdollars: I don't know who Reno Omokri thinks he is. Assistant God? His statement yesterday that "Peter Obi will NEVER be president of Nigeria" was resentful, fraught with hate and bile, and totally out of line.
He appears to have suddenly developed the God complex because of the pseudo following he's amassed online. But we all know that this online following usually amounts to nothing whenever we get down to brass tacks.
The fact that some fellows believed to be OBIdients took you up on some of your posts does not mean Peter Obi sanctioned their actions or ordered their mob responses.
The truth is that only the supporters of Atiku Abubakar have been temperate and cautious in their dispositions. Bola Tinubu’s supporters are clearly not better, except you have not incurred their wrath. They are a legion and move with the speed of the Chinese train.
It's okay to have convictions - genuine or not - but also learn to build a level of safety into your assumptions. It's called wisdom!
Saying Peter Obi will NEVER be president of Nigeria is beyond your call. You are not God, Reno. But you have just challenged God, ironically, and He'll respond at His own time.
Your constant attacks on Obi are arguably personal, and they've left much to be desired, coming from a supposed social crusader, mentor to many, and Bible student.
That pronouncement was un-Christ-like and exuded crass hatred for a fellow being. You just may not be better than those you castigate.
Now that all of this is finally over and you have won, please, have a good one! 👍🏿
Perhaps the social space will enjoy a deserving respite🙏🏾

The senior lawyer said he would not even permit a junior member of his chamber to bring such a brief before the Supreme Court.
By Nosakhale Akhimien Updated October 26, 2023
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Robert Clarke, says the lawyers of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi did not demonstrate professionalism in challenging President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 election.
“I am not saying they (Atiku, Obi’s lawyers) fumbled the case; what I am saying is that they have not displayed a good sense of legal practice,” the legal luminary said on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.
The senior lawyer’s comment comes hours after the Supreme Court upheld the victory of Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election.
The apex court, in its ruling, dismissed the appeals by Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Obi.
A seven-judge panel dismissed the opposition’s appeals over claims of fraud, electoral law violations, and Tinubu’s ineligibility to run for president.
The apex court thrashed all the grounds of appeal of Atiku and the PDP on qualification, non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the 25% votes in FCT, and electoral malpractices.
Commenting on the ruling of the apex court, Clarke said there was a lack of due diligence in the appeals, pointing out that the legal representation of Atiku and Obi could have been better.
The senior lawyer said he would not even permit a junior member of his chamber to bring such a brief before the Supreme Court.
“Where the law is not allowed to put its heads up in a proceeding, it means that there is another law which prohibits their lawyers to have brought such. They know it, they still decided — either to please their supporters and allow such a matter to come before the Supreme Court,” he said.
“I will not allow any junior in my chambers, even one or two years old to carry such a brief to go and argue in court when I have looked into all the facts and the facts are very clear. There is a limitation of time in election matters. You cannot do certain things.”
Clarke said Obi and Atiku’s lawyers had the chance to present their evidence at a lower court but they did not.
“They had the opportunity as a pre-election matter but they never brought it out. They had the opportunity as a matter within a tribunal’s case but they never brought it. They are now coming and bringing matters that should have been argued in the lower tribunal and the Supreme Court will now be reviewing such evidence as an appellate matter and not as an original jurisdictional matter.”
“I am not blaming the lawyers; that is the last thing I would do, but I am sorry to say that the lawyers, with due respect to them, should have done a better job in this regard.
“As the Supreme Court said, if you have facts that were available before the trial started and you did not bring them into the trial court…
Oga no Evidence to Display @ Lower court.. na why dem explain tire how dey Won online, CSU certificate, Drug/FBI case. PO & AA go Congrats BAT , Cry may last all Night but joy COMETH by Morning. Dem go greet am by Morning, dem still dey Cry & Mourn
Ttalk: Now that the SC has validated the victory of President Tinubu as truly the winner of the 2023 election, will our brothers in opposition sheath their sword and embrace democracy as a game where you win some and lose some, doing otherwise will rob their personality and affect their chances and make them lose supporters.
It is high time Prof. Pat Utomi taps Obi and tells him to congratulate Tinubu if he wants to remain relevant in politics.
Politics should not be a game of do or die, and I beckoned on Obi and his followers to congratulate the GCFR for his victory.
To the Obidients and the followers, it is painful that your candidate could not win either at the ballot or at the court, going further in your reckless opposition will not in any way help your candidate. You have done so much damage to your candidate already with your vituperations and attack on opposition, you can't continue to be a clog in the wheel.
Let's embrace peace. Nigeria shall be a great
Cry may last all Night but joy COMETH by Morning. Dem go greet am by Morning, dem still dey Cry & Mourn
Asonaija: In a recent interview, Nigerian singer Omah Lay revealed that he grew up in a Christian home but that he was drawn to Islam at some point when he made money.
He said he wants to have a personal relationship with God, not through religion.
Dreyxam: Abu Salami, the businessman, who recently called out Nigerian singer, Davido, for failing to fulfill his ₦218 million contract obligation, has further disclosed that he paid a sum of ₦5 million to Larry Gaga, who's also a recording artiste, to meet with the Unavailable lyricist.
In an exclusive interview he had with AfroWorldNews, the Abu Salami Media founder, stated that he agreed to pay Larry Gaga the ₦5 million he requested, as he couldn't secure an agreement with Davido's sister, whom he earlier met.
''I won a contract of $500,000 USD for my company. It was for a football show, which I have been doing for six years. When I was negotiating with the company that came with the funds, part of the promises I made was that I would get Davido on board as our ambassador. They told me I would have to negotiate with Davido myself, which I went ahead to do.
''I contacted his friends, and people close to him to get his attention. I eventually got to his sister, whom I negotiated with at the time. What she wanted then was ₦200 million naira upfront payment, and 35% of my company because they believed I would be making quite a lot of money, which was true. But I didn't have the requested ₦200 million,'' Salami told AfroWorldNews.
''The company that gave me the contract was only going to make part payment first to me, and it was ₦167 million.
''So, I eventually met Larry Gaga, who's a renowned person in the industry as well. Larry Gaga charged me ₦5 million to take me to Davido, which I agreed to. He took me to Davido's place, and the day we met, we spoke and had an agreement. We shook hands, took a picture together as well, and he asked for a deposit to make. I told him yes, and he then asked me to go and make the deposit in the bank with one of his aides by the name, Lati. 40 minutes after meeting Davido, I transferred ₦100 million to him.
''Two days later, I sent the contract to Davido to sign, and he said he was going to share it with his lawyers. So, I waited. I reached out to him a week later to ask about the contract, and he said his lawyers were at it. He further stated that he wasn't going to sign the contract until the money agreed was fully paid. The money to balance him was N76 million. Then we agreed that I would be paying him N15 million on a monthly basis. I was keeping up with the payment for the first two months.
''The third month I asked for his availability to shoot a commercial for the show. But on the first day of the shoot, Davido didn't turn up even after I had rented N8 million worth of equipment. He said he had a flight to catch, so I lost my ₦8 million. I didn't complain, I kept on working with him. When he got back, I reached out and said we were going to set up for the shoot again, and he said fine. David said he couldn't make it to the stadium, and I lost ₦9 million that day. So I called Larry Gaga I couldn't continue to live like that. He promised to talk to him.
''I now decided to shoot bigger stuff this time around, with presenters and big generators at the stadium. Davido called me while I was there that he couldn't make it to the stadium and that I had to come to his house and shoot it in his garden. I protested against it, and he said it's either I do that, or I forget about it, as he was travelling that night. We took all the equipment and ran there, Obviously, they were too big for a garden, we couldn't use them. We lost the money, but we managed to shoot that day.
''After editing it, I called Davido that he needed to come and do sound, and he said, I needed to make another payment. I then told him that I had given him N130 million already, and I couldn't give him more until we had some content to show the sponsors. He now said if I don't have any money to give him he wasn't going to do anything. I begged him for a month and a half to get the sound from Davido.
''I paid another ₦15 million and told Davido we wanted to do a press conference. He then said he didn't know that was part of the package, and I needed to pay another N30 million. To cut a long story short, a day before the press conference, his son died, which stopped the project for six months. When he came back and started doing things, I reached out to him again, and he asked for money to kick off. So, I paid him another ₦15 million.
''We eventually agreed on another day for the press conference, and I have been in his house for three days, making sure he will be available. A day before the press conference, Davido sent me a message that he would not be available because he wanted to take his wife to dinner. At that point, I lost my mind. I went and did the press conference myself, and when I got back, I went to see him, and he was angry that I went ahead, trashing the N10 million I spent on it.''
Salami further revealed that Davido threatened him, and said he would show him that he's bigger than him in the industry.
When asked about Larry Gaga's role in ensuring that Davido fulfilled his obligation of their agreement, Salami stated, ''I can't lie, he tried his best to get Davido to do the right thing. He even spoke with him in my presence, but the person I was dealing with was just who he is.''

FreeStuffsNG: ‘Converting’ HND to degree is absurd'
26th October 2023
By Punch Editorial Board
THE recent disagreement between the National Universities Commission and the National Board for Technical Education over a ‘top-up’ programme to convert Higher National Diploma obtained in polytechnics, to bachelor’s degree offered by universities, is an absurdity. President Bola Tinubu, and the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, should intervene quickly and stamp out the blather.
Both agencies have argued over jurisdiction to award degrees, and over attempts to “convert” HND to one. The NBTE is reportedly seeking collaboration with foreign universities to create “an alternative to the post-graduate diploma” for HND graduates as an entry route for those intending a career in the academics.
The NUC insists that the NBTE lacks such powers. Besides, it declared, “Both the NUC Establishment Law and its Operational Law: Education (National Minimum Standards and Establishment of Institutions) Act vest in the Commission the powers to superintend and regulate university education in Nigeria, lay down minimum academic standards in the nation’s universities and other degree-awarding institutions, and accredit their programmes.”
But the NBTE countered, “Only the FME (ministry’s) Division of Evaluation and Accreditation has the power to assess the foreign degrees (not NUC) after the students have graduated.”
Mamman should step in.
HND and bachelor’s degrees are not the same though they have similarities. Both are valuable. Claims of superiority or inferiority are also misplaced. Trade certificates, professional craftsmanship qualifications and polytechnic education originated to drive industrialisation by combining practical and technical training with academic grounding to provide skilled technicians for factories, mechanised farms, and offices, and social services infrastructure.
In the 1960s up to the 1980s when Nigeria’s industrialisation was about taking off – with textiles, vehicle assembly plants, beverages and steel rolling mills, and electronics assemblies among others sprouting – polytechnic graduates were in demand. Today, with the rollback of manufacturing, they struggle for relevance.
The misguided ‘top-up’ reflects the lack of a viable and functional national developmental plan tied to the country’s educational structure.
The real issues remain. The salary entry-point disparity between HND and degree holders in the public service provokes accusations of discrimination. In 2021, the National Assembly intervened, passing a bill to abolish the dichotomy, but the then president, Muhammadu Buhari, withheld assent.
A certificate cannot be “topped up.” There are already prescribed and effective routes for HND holders to upgrade their skills through the postgraduate programmes in the universities.
A caveat: universities, local or foreign, are free to prescribe their own entry qualifications for degrees. National jurisdictions exercise accreditation rights.
The NBTE needs to reinvigorate the importance of the technical education and to engage government to drive the much-needed industrialisation in the country.
Government should revitalise the mining, and industrial sectors. It should push for mechanised farming and ICT by creating an enabling investment environment, and investing in infrastructure. This will rejuvenate polytechnic education.
The OECD said major world economies have transitioned from, and outsourced manufacturing, and more than 70 per cent of their GDP now comes from services, thus reducing the need for polytechnics. Many UK polytechnics have been restructured to universities utilising the Further and Higher Education Act 1992. They did not “convert,” or “top up” HND to degrees!
Polytechnics are still important. Experts explain that the HND programme comprises practical work experience and academic studies for hands-on skills. The bachelor’s degree focuses on quantitative skills in the classroom with lab-based courses. Polytechnic education was introduced in Nigeria to drive the mechanisation and industrialisation through the training of technical manpower, it must not be erased. Nigeria will likely still industrialise.
The “top-up” plan is ridiculous; it should be dropped immediately.
