Nigerian Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Tiwa Savage, has sparked mixed reactions online after revealing that President Bola Tinubu is her next-door neighbour, a disclosure she made while speaking about her home and personal life in a recent interview.

Tiwa Savage made the revelation during an interview with content creator Korty, where she spoke about her Ikoyi home, describing it as a “safe haven” because of its proximity to the president’s residence, the level of security in the area, and its status.

While praising the residence and the security around it, Korty spoke highly of the singer’s living space, prompting Tiwa Savage to explain that the house is only temporary, as she is currently building another home in an undisclosed location.

She said, “To be honest, this is like my temporary place. I am building one I bought somewhere, but it’s not ready until next year. So this is like my safe haven till then. I feel safe. I feel safe actually. I actually feel a little bit important ’cause the president’s house is in front.”

Her comments quickly drew attention online, with netizens sharing varied opinions.

Reacting, NnamdiOdigbo said, “Tiwa is a top artist, I just love the way she moves. Quietly.”

The actress who made the revelation in a Snapchat video on Sunday, stated that she stopped going to church because attention often shifted to her rather than the service.

Akindele said “Anytime I go to church, I am always the one they take pictures of. So I will join online.”

Recall that in 2022, Akindele openly identified herself with the Celestial Church of Christ.

“Every time I have challenges I go to the Celestial church quietly at night for solutions. But I have to stop hiding and publicly identify with the church”, she said.

Popular Nigerian content creator, Shank has stirred reactions online after opening up about a personal clash with his mother over tattoos, while also revealing a fresh body ink linked to his “Lit Gang” identity.

The revelation surfaced in a recent viral video shared on his social platforms, where he recounted the moment he tattooed his mother’s name, “Oluremi,” on his arm.

According to him, what he expected to be an emotional moment quickly turned tense.

“The day I tattooed my mum’s name on my arm, she started crying and quoting Bible,” Shank said.

He explained that his mother strongly opposed the act, citing religious reasons and warning him against marking his body.

“She told me, ‘did I ask you to draw my name? I don’t like it. Don’t do tattoo again. God said don’t mark your body,’” he recalled.

Shank, however, said he challenged her stance by pointing out what he described as a contradiction.

“I asked her, if you say I should leave my body the way God created it, why do you shave your hair? You that shave hair and me that draw tattoo, we are committing the same sin,” he added.

The content creator used the moment to advise young people navigating similar situations with parents, stressing the importance of independence when making personal decisions.

“Just make sure you’re independent before doing what your parents are not comfortable with,” he said.

Amid the conversation, Shank also unveiled a new tattoo on his back with the inscription “Lit Gang,” a move that has further fueled reactions among fans.

While some social media users backed his arguement on personal choice and self-expression, others sided with his mother, citing cultural and religious concerns about body markings.

The development has continued to generate debate online, highlighting the growing tension between traditional beliefs and modern youth culture in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
