Wizkid Explains His Preference for Mature Love

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has once again sparked conversation online with his candid take on romantic preferences. In a bold and humorous social media post, the Star Boy revealed his strong attraction to older women, calling it “sacred.” Known for his unapologetic personality, Wizkid broke down the reasons behind his admiration for mature women, contrasting them with the behaviors he claims are more common among younger partners. “Older women will never tell me ‘Wizzy, buy me ice cream, Fendi, Gucci or Ferragamo', they just want the doctor’s injection,” he quipped. The Afrobeat star further explained that, unlike younger women who might ask for flashy favors or demand social displays, older women tend to appreciate the moment and keep things grounded. “Older women don’t tell me, ‘come pick me from my house,’ just to show me off to their guys in the hood,” he added. “They’ll say ‘God bless you, Balogun’ after we spend time together.” In a line that has since gone viral, Wizkid humorously described how younger women sometimes respond to intimacy with emotional tension, while older women take things in stride. “Younger ones will guilt-trip the boy with ‘Wizzy, you came inside, hope I don’t miss my period.’” The singer, who has often embraced controversy with charm, didn’t stop there. He jokingly declared that while he could overlook a pretty young woman, her attractive aunt might not be so lucky. “I can ignore your pretty sister, but your beautiful aunt must collect if she crosses my lane,” he said, signing off with his signature tagline: “Star Boy says so.” While some fans received the post with amusement, others engaged in heated debates about age, relationships, and maturity in modern love dynamics. Wizkid’s take may be provocative, but it adds to the ever-evolving conversation about dating preferences, emotional compatibility, and the perceived wisdom that often comes with age. Whether playful or profound, one thing remains clear, Wizkid never shies away from saying it as he sees it.

Ini Edo Challenges Societal Pressure on Marriage

Popular Nollywood actress Ini Edo has stirred conversation across social media after declaring that marriage should not be treated as a divine mandate or a life-or-death achievement. In a bold statement titled "Marriage Is Not a Prayer Point," the actress called out the societal obsession with getting married, especially before the age of 30, describing it as overhyped and potentially damaging. “Marriage is overhyped in our society to the point where it feels like a divine assignment everyone must fulfill by 30 or earlier,” she wrote. According to Edo, marriage should not be treated as a desperate prayer request or something people must fast and cry to receive. Instead, she describes it as a conscious decision, one that requires preparation, emotional maturity, and the ability to choose wisely. “It’s not something you beg God for like your daily bread,” she said. “It’s a decision, a partnership, and most importantly, a responsibility.” The actress advised individuals seeking companionship to shift their focus from urgency to personal growth, healing, and clarity. Rather than making marriage the ultimate goal, she encouraged people to prioritize building a healthy and happy life, whether or not it includes a spouse. “Pray for wisdom, emotional maturity, clarity... Because marriage is not the goal, a healthy and happy life is.” Edo’s message also emphasized self-worth beyond relationship status. She reassured followers that being unmarried does not equate to failure or incompleteness. “If marriage becomes part of your journey, great! If not, you’re still whole, still worthy, and still winning.” The post has sparked widespread support and debate online, with many praising Edo for challenging long-standing cultural expectations around marriage, particularly in African societies. As public discourse continues to evolve around gender roles and societal pressure, Ini Edo’s comments add to a growing movement that promotes self-awareness, mental wellness, and intentional living over societal conformity.

Eedris Abdulkareem Reacts As NBC Bans His 'Tell Your Papa's Song

Legendary Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has responded to the Federal Government’s ban on his latest anti-Tinubu track, Tell Your Papa. The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on Thursday prohibited the song, branding it “offensive.” In an Instagram post later that day, Abdulkareem condemned the move, calling it an effort by the government to suppress the truth and silence dissenting voices. Drawing parallels with the 2004 ban of his iconic protest anthem Jaga Jaga, the outspoken artist slammed President Tinubu’s administration as “insensitive and vindictive.” Sharing the NBC memo regarding his song, he wrote: “It is obvious that in Nigeria, truth and constructive criticism is always deemed a big crime by the government. “President Bola Tinubu-led government is now going on record as one of the most insensitive, vindictive and grossly maleficent administration that has ever presided over the affairs of Nigeria. “They are instructing broadcast houses to shield the government by hiding the candle under the table. Anyone wonder why Nigeria has not made impactful strides all these years? The conscience is an open wound, only the truth can heal it.”

As someone who has navigated decades in both the spotlight and life’s private battles, Sola Sobowale’s words strike a chord, serving as a timely reminder that discernment is not just a gift, but a necessity in today’s world.
