Falz, Vector Diss INEC Chair In New Song Titled Yakubu

Award-winning Hip-Hop artistes, Falz and Vector, have slammed the Independent National Electoral Commission, for its “inadequacies” in the recently-concluded 2023 elections.
In a track titled ‘Yakubu’, the rappers knocked the chairman of INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, for alleged malpractices that characterised the elections.
Released Thursday, the song referenced the failed promise made by the commission to transmit the results of the elections in real-time via its result viewing portal, known as IReV portal.
The duo also sang about the reports of violence, voter intimidation, logistics problems, ballot box snatching, and other incidents that marred the 2023 general election.

“Mr Yakubu! Ę ma ń se bi fraudster (you behave like a fraudster)/ you don’t want to prosper / Come and collect oscar/ 300 billion te gbà lówó ìjoba, kí le fi se ná sir (what did you do with the 300 billion received from the government),” Falz rapped in the first verse of the song.
Falz is no stranger to politically conscious and satirical music aimed at the government. The National Broadcasting Corporation banned his hit song ‘This is Nigeria’ from airwaves in August 2018.
The record, which sampled American Rapper, Childish Gambino’s ‘This is America,’ was tagged “vulgar” and “unfit for radio” due to a line in the song that read, “This is Nigeria/ Look how we living now/ Everybody be criminal.”

Why I Married Mr Eazi – Temi Otedola
Actress and fashion influencer, Temi Ajibade, has revealed why she decided to marry Afrobeats singer, Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi.
In an interview with the BBC on Wednesday, Temi described the singer as her best friend and the person she always wanted to spend her life with.
“He’s my best friend. He’s my person. And I think when you meet your person, you will know. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anybody else. He’s the person that I’m excited and can’t wait to spend every day with, build our lives together, work through our ups and downs together, celebrate together, and solve problems together. He’s simply my person,” she said.

Temi, who recently updated her social media bio to reflect her husband’s surname, explained that taking on the name Ajibade was a personal decision.
“To be deeply honest with you, it’s not anything I had thought about before. Obviously, now that I’m a married woman, the obvious thing for me is to take my husband’s name. But it’s my personal choice. I respect everybody’s personal choice. It’s what I’m comfortable and happy doing, but I also respect a woman’s ability to choose,” she added.
She also spoke about her choice to keep her engagement and wedding private, saying it was about controlling her narrative.

“I think it’s more about owning your own narrative. There’s something about moving in silence that allows you to have control over things. It allows you to build the narrative you want, and you’re able to share when you feel ready to share and in the way you want to share it,” she said.
Temi, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, admitted that her father influenced her outlook on life, but noted that he encouraged her and her sisters to chart their own paths instead of relying on his businesses.
She further acknowledged that coming from a privileged background gave her an advantage, but stressed that the real test was how one used such opportunities.
“You will never hear me say it doesn’t. I think it’s very important for people who are privileged to acknowledge that leg up they’ve gotten in life. Maybe the caveat is that you can give someone a leg up, but it’s what they do with it that matters,” she said.
