Edo-born musical prodigy, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has unveiled his art project for young people, saying “We have so much in stock for the young people of Edo State.”
Rema made the revelation when Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State hosted him for lunch at the Government House in Benin City, Edo State.
The Edo-born musician who thanked the people of the state for being supportive throughout his musical journey, expressed appreciation to the governor for caring for young people in the state.
He noted: “The lunch was great and we spoke about a lot of important things, especially his programme for the young people. It’s very beautiful to see a governor that cares for the future. He does not only have a vision for his tenure but beyond the eight-year period.

“We have so much in stock for the young people of the State. I would not be here in the first place if not for the youths in Nigeria. They are the people I am part of, live for, the people I inspire and motivate. They are the next generation.”
On his art project, he said: “This is the time to do something for the youths. I just want to do things. I have been able to make a breakthrough in the music industry. I went out there to perform on the global stage and took Benin City with me. I carried the city on my back and on my shoulders and expressed my culture in the best way I could.
“The government will make moves and it is also time for the youths to make moves, re-educate themselves, ready to accept new rules for the betterment of the Community and for the evolution of the entertainment industry as well.”

Earlier, Obaseki had assured support for upcoming artists in the state to enable them compete favourably with their peers across the globe.
Obaseki said, “He is here for a private lunch. We had an opportunity to chat and catch up with him. He has not been here since I became governor. Rema left Edo just as I was getting into office as governor. It’s nice to have him back after six years.
“We had an opportunity to tell him all we have done and how we are interested in supporting young people in the arts, culture and entertainment sectors. We have commenced the conversation with him on an iconic art project for this City and this part of the Country.”

Popular Nigerian socialite, Cubana Chief Priest, has filed a defamation lawsuit against his alleged baby mama, Hellen Ati in Kenya.
Recall that it all started in six months when the Kenyan woman accused Chief Priest of not taking responsibility for their two-year-old son.
Speaking in a video on social media, Hellen alleged that her short romantic encounter with Chief Priest in April 2022, led to their son’s pregnancy.

She alleged that several attempts made to reach him after giving birth proved abortive, because he blocked her on all channels of communication.
In response, Cubana who denied the allegation, insisted they had never met before.
Reacting to the development, Hellen called for a paternity test, a request that has been met with silence.

However, in a Facebook post on Tuesday, a Nigerian lawyer popularly known as DPA Family Clinic, shared a defamation suit filed by the Nigerian against Hellen in Kenya.
Confirming the development, Hellen in a video on her Instagram page said “Pascal thinks he can sue right? You know within yourself that you are supposed to be in jail by now, and you have audacity, after how many years of calling you to prove yourself innocent with a DNA test if you are sure that I’m lying against you.
“This is Kenya, my country, not Nigeria where you believe you can buy lawyers with your money or the hospital to change the DNA result. I didn’t defame you, I have only been calling you to do a paternity test but you refused. I can’t be silent by your lawsuit. I will continue to call you out until you do the needful”, she said.

BBNaija No Loose Guard housemate, DJ Flow, has opened up about the split of her decade-long friendship with her former pair Ruthie, revealing she cannot engage in conflicts on her behalf.
Speaking during the BBNaija No Loose Guard episode reunion, which began airing on June 23, 2025, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu questioned DJ Flow about the fallout with Ruthie and the reason behind it.
DJ Flow revealed that her ex-friend Ruthie understood her stance, as they had had conversations before coming on the show, knowing that she would not respond to drama even when it involves her. She stated that the final straw came when Ruthie granted an interview, making comments about her that left her disheartened.

In a candid conversation with the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, DJ Flow shared that the interview helped her realize it was time to end their friendship, explaining that despite their ten-year history, she has come to terms with the fact that their friendship had run its course.
The BBNaija experience, which was intended to strengthen their bond, ultimately led to the unraveling of their friendship. However, DJ Flow acknowledged that while she still cares for Ruthie and is willing to support her, she has chosen to move on due to irreconcilable differences.
She said, “I can have your back and support you, but I don’t have to go into a fight with you. We have had a conversation before where she is like, ‘Oh, if they are dragging one person on social media, will you respond?’ And I was like, ‘You know me. You know say I no go respond even if dem dey drag me, I no go respond, not to talk of someone else. It’s not my fight; why should I respond?’

“I try not to have regrets, but I just truly believe that as much as I cherish what we had for 10 years, I also have the belief that at the end of the day, we go through life with people, not completely do life with these people.
“But I think what really did it for me was the interview she had. When I saw that she did an interview speaking on me, I needed a reason. I needed to understand where she was coming from, and that interview just really did it for me and made me realise that I might have love for this person, but I feel like we’ve gotten to a point in life where we should just go our separate ways and that this person is just not good for my energy anymore, and that’s perfectly fine.”
