‘Music not a get-rich-quick scheme’ – Pheelz

Nigerian singer and producer, Philip Kayode, aka Pheelz, has said contrary to the belief of some sections of the society, music is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

He explained that music serves more spiritual purposes.

According to him, music is “God”, stressing that it brings healing.

On his X handle, Pheelz wrote: “Music is not a grind.
It is not a get rich quick scheme
It is not a hustle
Music is life
Music is feeling
Music is healing
Music is God.”

In another post, the ‘Finesse’ crooner stated that the music business was man’s attempt to commodify God’s energy.

He wrote, “The music and the music business are 2 different frequencies to me. The Music Business is man’s attempt to commodify God’s energy. The Music itself is God.”

Many up-and-coming Afrobeats artistes, as well as established stars, have cited poverty as a major inspiration for their careers.

Trending Video: Socialite Omoge Saida’s Leaked Tape Tops Social Media Buzz

Published

on

The name Omoge Saida has recently become a dominant social media trend in Nigeria. Once celebrated as a muse of Fuji music legend King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1), she has now become the subject of online discussions that blend nostalgia, controversy, and reflections on privacy in the digital age, as reported by Spectatorsng.com.

Omoge Saida, a popular UK-based gold dealer and Lagos socialite, became a household name after being eulogized by KWAM 1, the Ultimate in one of his Fuji classics. The Fuji icon, known for immortalising influential personalities through poetic praise, used her name to symbolize grace, wealth, and class — a hallmark of the Yoruba highlife culture that flourished in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her appearance in KWAM 1’s music established her as a symbol of beauty and sophistication, and the phrase “Omoge Saida” soon became a pop expression among Fuji lovers.

Decades later, that same name resurfaced for an entirely different reason, trending widely after a purported private viral video began circulating online. The incident ignited heated conversations about digital ethics, online privacy, and non-consensual content — raising questions about how quickly the internet can turn admiration into intrusion.

Following the matrimonial mess involving Senator Ned Nwoko and Reginal Daniels that has pushed out different narratives from the couples in the last three days on social media, Reginal’s father has finally opened up.

Regina had accused her husband, Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, of domestic violence in a video making the rounds, an allegation he already countered.

According to a Facebook post quoting Jude Ojegwu, Reginal Daniels’ father, saying:
“Regina and her mother, Rita Daniels called an ēnēmy of progress and wished me Dēãth when I told her not to mãrry Ned Nwoko.” _ Regina Daniels’ father, JUDE OJEGWU reveals 😲‼️
“I knew this marriage was bound to have issues. Even me I am in my late 50s and I can’t marry a 20-year old girl. I feel very ãshamed that I was alive and watched my own 18-year daughter marry a 70-years old man. When Regina told me about this marriage, I told her that there’s more to life and marrying a man who is older than me her father isn’t right. But guess what? Her mother, Rita called me an ēnēmy of progress and wished me dēath. So I backed off and let Regina follow her happiness since she was already an adult anyway. I didn’t even attend her wedding because I was ãngry. And today the same marriage they called me an ēnēmy of progress when I tried to open her eyes is crumblîng. I knew this would happen but I just hope she finds peace in her matrimonial home.” ~ JUDE OJEGWU

Adunni Ade Wins ₦20 Million Law Suit Over False Dino Melaye Dating Report

Adunni Ade Wins ₦20 Million in Privacy Suit Over False Dino Melaye Dating Story

Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has recently achieved a significant legal victory as a Lagos High Court awarded her ₦20 million in damages.

This ruling comes after she filed a lawsuit against a media platform for publishing false claims about her dating Senator Dino Melaye. The court’s decision highlights the importance of accountability in media reporting.

This case, filed under suit number LD/17781MFHR/2024, centered on an article published in January 2023 titled “Six Popular Nigerian Actresses Who Have Been Accused of Dating Dino Melaye.” In her claim, Adunni Ade contended that the report painted her in a misleading and offensive light, infringing her constitutional right to privacy under Section 37 of the Nigerian Constitution as well as under the Nigeria Data Protection Act.

In defending itself, the online platform and its reporter argued that Adunni Ade had posted personal photos publicly on social media and that she delayed bringing the suit. However, Justice Ibironke Harrison rejected those arguments. The court held that the misuse of a person’s name or image does not require that data be voluntarily submitted by the claimant, and that a misleading portrayal (false light) is actionable in Nigerian law.

When judgment was delivered on June 24, 2025, the court ordered removal of her name and image from the contentious article and awarded her general damages of ₦20 million.

Legal analysts describe this ruling as landmark. The recognition of a “false light” claim marks a significant development for privacy and defamation law in Nigeria.

In months prior, Adunni Ade had threatened legal action over other fabricated stories and misquoted statements circulated online.
