Lagos is already the Afrobeats capital of the world, the only problem? It hasn’t been officially recognised. Lagos, the heartbeat of a genre that has crossed oceans and conquered global charts, stages and audiences across the world, from the bustling streets of Surulere to the neon glow of Victoria Island, the city has nurtured the sound, raised its stars, and set the rhythm for a generation. The official recognition and declaration from the state, federal government and international organisations like the UN Tourism and others of what the world already knows and is a fact, Afrobeats begins and thrives in Lagos, Nigeria is what is needed next.

Afrobeats superstars like Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Tems, Rema, Ayra Starr and many others have transcended regional and continental lines to become a global cultural force. From chart-topping hits dominating international airwaves to selling out arenas from London to New York, the world is listening and Lagos is always at the center. The city is in the lyrics, the visuals, and provides the soundtrack for the creative energy that fuels the culture. Lagos is the origin and Launchpad for this global phenomenon.

But, every day without the official recognition, Nigeria loses vast opportunities in year-round sustainable tourism, massive job creation, foreign and local investment, and the global branding power Afrobeats offers. This recognition is not merely symbolic but catalytic. It positions Lagos as a year-round sustainable creative tourism destination, beyond the now popular Detty December, for signature festivals, conferences, creative residencies, heritage trails, and cultural expos that keep the megacity vibrant all year long.

Other cities have successfully done this. New Orleans, Louisiana is officially branded the home of Jazz. Kingston, Jamaica, is synonymous with Reggae. Nashville is celebrated worldwide as the Country Music Capital. Seoul turned K-Pop into a multi-billion-dollar economy. These cities did not just create sound, they recognized it, branded it, invested in it, and built thriving cultural tourism industries around them. Lagos must now do the same with Afrobeats.

From examples sighted, the numbers speak for themselves. Ghana’s ‘Year of Return’ campaign generated approximately $2 billion in 2019. K-Pop contributed approximately over $4 billion to South Korea’s GDP in 2024. Nashville’s music tourism generates over $5 billion annually. With Afrobeats as its strongest cultural export well managed and organized, Lagos with its size has the potential to meet or surpass these figures. The official recognition would drive year-round cultural tourism through festivals, expos, conferences, and residencies; generate jobs across its ecosystem including music, fashion, film, food, dance, and allied industries; boost local industries such as hotels, airlines, restaurants, lounges, and event venues; strengthen Nigeria’s global brand and increase its cultural soft power.

The Planet Afrobeats project, powered by Inspiro Productions, is spearheading the Lagos Afrobeats Capital of the World Campaign. The mission is clear: brand Lagos as the Afrobeats capital of the world with a master-plan, empower youth by connecting and converting talent to wealth, and create multiple economic opportunities across the value chain. Ayoola Sadare, CEO of Inspiro Productions and the brain behind The Planet Afrobeats project and his company, have dedicated over two decades to championing Nigeria’s creative industries with several initiatives such as the Lagos International Jazz Festival (LIJF), NAIJAZZ – The Nigerian Jazz Project, LABULE – The Creative Community, The Tale of Two African Cities (TOTAC – Lagos/Johannesburg) amongst others.

At inspiro we drew some of our inspiration from cities like Johannesburg and Cape Town, in Africa, Stuttgart and other cities in Europe amongst others which have built thriving tourism economies around jazz festivals such as Joy of Jazz, the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Jazz Open and others. Lagos, with its strong Afrobeats culture, has the cultural capital and firepower to drive sustainable year-round inbound tourism beyond Detty December. This is not just about music. It is about jobs, pride, investment, Lagos and Nigeria’s creative economy future. Afrobeats is perhaps now our strongest cultural export alongside Nollywood and Lagos is its undisputed home.

The Planet Afrobeats initiative aligns with the Lagos State Government’s THEMES Agenda Plus, particularly in Tourism, Entertainment, and the Creative Economy as well as the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy’s Destination 2030: Nigeria Everywhere vision. Recognising Lagos as the Global Afrobeats Capital would institutionalise the city and nation’s cultural leadership and secure billions in creative economy revenues. The time has come to officially recognize this.’

Lagos doesn’t need permission to be Afrobeats’ home because it already is. What is needed is an intentional declaration, a master-plan and the courage to brand it boldly. The time is now. Lagos is ready. The world is waiting.’

Filmmaker and actress Omoni Oboli has expressed gratitude t fans and supporters for overwhelming love and enthusiasm for her film, ‘Love in Every Word: The Wedding’.

In a post on Instagram, she thanked them for celebrating her work and making her feel seen and appreciated.

The actress acknowledged the impact of their support on her career, stating that it reminded her why she tells stories to touch hearts, make people laugh, and glorify God through love.

Oboli wrote: ‘My dearest besties, I honestly don’t even know where to start. Every view, every comment, every post, every share. you’ve poured so much love into LOVE IN EVERY WORD: THE WEDDING, and my heart is so full. You stayed up late, you celebrated like it was your own win, and you made and are still making history with me.

‘There were moments I cried reading your comments because I could feel your love through the screen. You made all the hard work worth it. You reminded me why I tell stories, to touch hearts, to make people laugh, and to glorify God through love.

‘From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You are the reason this dream keeps growing, and I’ll never take you for granted’.

Rapper Oladips has recounted his experience with operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), describing how he was picked up during a night raid in his estate and detained for several days.

Speaking in a recent interview, the rapper said the incident occurred around 3 a.m. when officials entered his neighborhood.

‘Nigeria just happened to me. It was just a normal night and they entered my Estate going from house to house. They came to my house as well. It was like 3 a.m. The crazy thing is that I knew they were inside the compound, but I don’t do fraud, I don’t do yahoo,’ Oladips said.

‘I was on my bed pressing my phone because that’s none of my business- na person wey do fraud go dey run. Next thing, I heard a loud noise from downstairs. They broke my kitchen door, entered my house, and were like, ‘Hey, hey, where’s your phone?’ I don’t even have a laptop, just two phones. They collected them and took me to their office.’

He explained that he was detained for several days and later released after the investigation.

‘They didn’t find anything on my phone. One of their oga asked if I pay tax, so they just held me for that. I spent four, five days in that cell,’ he said.

Oladips noted that he considered taking legal action but decided against it due to the process involved.

‘I feel like when I came out I should have sued them because they collected money from me before they released me for nothing, absolutely nothing. I spent four, five days in their cell. But you know Nigeria – before I now sue them and start fighting for the money they collected from me, I’ll spend another money,’ he added.

‘The system is just messed up because I don’t know why I was locked up till date. They suffered me. You know Nigeria, before I’ll sue them and start spending money, it’s crazy. I can’t go through all of that stress, that was why I locked up,’ he said.

Brendan Rodgers has resigned as Celtic manager with the Scottish giants’ major shareholder accusing him of ‘divisive, misleading and self-serving’ behaviour.

Former boss Martin O’Neill, 73, and ex-player Shaun Maloney will take charge until a permanent successor is appointed, the club said Monday.

Rodgers’ second spell at Celtic ended after Sunday’s 3-1 Scottish Premiership defeat at Hearts left them eight points adrift of the Edinburgh side in second.

‘Brendan leaves with our thanks for the role he has played during a period of continued success for the club and we wish him further success in the future,’ a statement said.

‘We are pleased that during this interim period former Celtic manager Martin O’Neill and former Celtic player Shaun Maloney have agreed to take charge of Celtic first-team matters,’ it said.

The club added that the search for a replacement was already under way, with former manager Ange Postecoglou among the bookmakers’ favourites following his recent sacking by Nottingham Forest.

Rodgers, 52, returned for a second spell at Celtic Park in 2023, winning successive titles, to add to his league triumphs from 2017 and 2018.

But clouds have gathered over the club this season with Celtic knocked out of the Champions League by Kazakhstan minnows Kairat Almaty.

Rodgers had appeared at odds with his employers over their summer transfer policy.

After Celtic’s first defeat at Dundee in 37 years this month, he said the team had ‘lost a lot of firepower, a lot of goals’.

‘And there’s no way you’ll go into a race and be given the keys to a Honda Civic and say, ‘I want you to drive it like a Ferrari’. It’s not going to happen.’

In a separate statement on Monday, Celtic’s main shareholder Dermot Desmond hit back, saying Rodgers’ criticism had come ‘entirely out of the blue’.

‘Despite ample opportunity he was unable to identify a single instance where the club had obstructed or failed to support him. The facts did not match his public narrative,’ he said.

‘Regrettably, his words and actions since then have been divisive, misleading, and self-serving.

‘They have contributed to a toxic atmosphere around the club and fuelled hostility towards members of the executive team and the board.’

Rodgers previously managed Swansea, Liverpool and Leicester, and arrived at Celtic for the second time in June 2023 to succeed Postecoglou.

The Northern Irishman had been at Celtic between May 2016 and February 2019, completing successive league and cup trebles.

His first season in charge saw Celtic finish with a record 106 points and become the first Scottish side to complete a top-flight season undefeated since 1899.

Rodgers continued Celtic’s domestic supremacy by winning league titles in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, and also lifted the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup.

Bayelsa Deputy Governor Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo has sued the House of Assembly, the Speaker, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and othera over alleged plot to impeach him.

In an originating summons, marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/2212025, Ewhrudjakpo alleged among others, that members of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly were being pressured to impeach him for failing to resign, like the governor, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on whose platform they got to office.

Bayelsa Governor, Douye Diri, recently resigned for the PDP but with the Deputy Governor failing to resign his membership of the PDP as well.

In the suit filed on his behalf at the Federal High Court in Abuja, by his lawyer, Reuben Egwuaba, it was alleged that members of the House of Assembly were currently being plotting to impeach Ewhrudjakpo.

It was also alleged that some Local Government Chairmen, including that of Sagbama Local Government Area, Mrs. Alice Tange, are also being threatened with sack for allegedly failing to abandon the PDP along with the governor.

On October 27, after listening to Egwuaba, who moved an ex-parte motion, Justice Emeka Nwite ordered the defendants to appear before the court to show cause why the interim reliefs being sought against them by the plaintiff should not be granted.

Listed as defendants in the suit are: Bayelsa State House of Assembly, its Speaker, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), the Director General of the State Security Service (SSS), the Attorney General of Bayelsa State, the state’s Chief Judge and the Clerk of the state’s Assembly.

Justice Nwite, in the October 27 ruling, held that that the interest of justice will be met by issuing an order for all the defendants to appear and show cause why an order of interim injunction should not be granted against them pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed by the plaintiff

The judge adjourned till November 13 for the defendants to show cause, failing which he would proceed to hear the motion on notice.

The interim reliefs being sought in the motion on notice includes an order restraining the defendants from removing or impeaching Ewhrudjakpo by disregarding the provision of Section 188(5), (6), (7)(a), (b), (8), (9) and (11) and Section 36(1) of the Constitution based on his decision not to defect/decamp from the PDO to the All Progressives Congress (APC) or any registered political party before the expiration of his four years tenure as an elected deputy governor of Bayelsa state pending hearing of the motion on notice.

He also wants an order restraining the defendants from initiating impeachment notice, impeachment proceedings/meetings of the Bayelsa state House of Assembly against him on his decision not to defect/decamp from the PDP to the APC before the expiration of his four years tenure as an elected Deputy Governor of Bayelsa state pending the hearing of the motion on notice.

Ewhrudjakpo also wants an order restraining the defendants from conducting any meeting, sitting, conference for the purpose of initiating or igniting impeachment proceedings against him as well as an order restraining the defendants from recognizing and dealing with the appointment of any member of the APC as the Deputy Governor of the state.

He is also praying the the court for an order restraining the IGP, the DG of the SSS and the Bayelsa State AG from withdrawing his security protection as Deputy Governor of Bayelsa state pending the hearing of the motion on notice.

The Federal Government’s port modernization is all inclusive, Minister Marine and Blue Economy Adegboyega Oyetola said yesterday.

According to him, the policy is not limited only to Apapa and TinCan ports in Lagos but captures ports and Deep Seaports across all regions of the country.

He debunked insinuations by former Anmabra State Governor Peter Obi that the projects were one-sided.

The Ministry, according to a statement, said Oyetola ‘ has already commenced the procurement process for the renovation and modernisation of the ports in Warri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, and Onne. These projects are being undertaken alongside the Lagos port modernisation initiative, forming part of a coordinated national strategy to revitalise and expand maritime infrastructure across all regions of the country.

In addition to these ongoing interventions, the Minister said, ‘the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy is working closely with the respective state governments and private investors to develop new deep seaports that will further strengthen the nation’s maritime capacity. These include the Agge Deep Seaport in Bayelsa State, the Ibom Deep Seaport in Akwa Ibom State, the Bonny Deep Seaport in Rivers State, and a deep seaport in Cross River State. Each of these projects reflects the Ministry’s commitment to balanced development and regional economic inclusion within the framework of the national blue economy.

Furthermore, ‘the Onitsha River Port in Anambra State, developed by the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) – an agency under the Ministry – stands as a practical example of the Federal Government’s efforts to decentralise port operations and expand maritime access beyond Lagos. These initiatives demonstrate a deliberate and strategic approach to strengthening Nigeria’s port network, improving logistics efficiency, and stimulating industrial and commercial growth across the federation.

‘The Lagos ports modernisation project is a necessary intervention given the age and scale of trade handled through Apapa and TinCan Island. However, it is by no means the sole focus of the Federal Government’s maritime infrastructure drive. The Ministry’s ongoing efforts to upgrade, modernise, and expand other ports outside Lagos clearly affirm a nationwide commitment to developing the marine and blue economy in an equitable, sustainable, and forward-looking manner.

The Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy Oyetola said, ‘wishes to state unequivocally that Mr Peter Obi’s claim suggesting neglect of ports outside Lagos is incorrect and misleading. The Federal Government’s policies and actions clearly demonstrate a balanced and inclusive approach to port development, guided by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to promote national food security, economic diversification, and regional prosperity through the full harnessing of Nigeria’s maritime potential.

The Ministry, he said, ‘ remains committed to transparent, accountable, and equitable maritime governance, and assures Nigerians that ongoing reforms will ensure every region of the country benefits from the opportunities inherent in the nation’s growing blue economy.’

It is strange that, after all that the city of Warri, in Delta State, suffered in lives, limbs and resources for years at the turn of the century, some are imagining another spasm of bloodbath. Yet, in human experience over centuries, we have never foresworn wars in spite of documented blood trails.

It makes sense, however, to strike a note of warning to all those who are obliterating commonsense in the former vibrant metropolis. They stand the risk of wiping out Warri from the face of the earth if they continue with their rancour.

It all began with a new effort to remap the city for the next round of elections. Even though the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it has not concluded its redistricting effort or what is called the delineation of constituencies, divisive rhetoric has fouled the air.

Although it is taking ethnic shapes, it is actually the politicians across the various political parties who are fuelling the fire. In the quest to win elections, they seem ready to slaughter one another.

The major ethnic group in the centre are the Itsekiris, Urhobos and Ijaws. They have been neighbours for centuries, and have engaged in all that neighbours do. They trade together, party together, intermarry, and they betray linguistic affinities, cuisines and fashion sense. They suffer and battle common foes like want and diseases. The differences in their ways of life are often subtle.

It is this cooperation that welded them together into a formidable region and strengthened Warri into a commercial and cultural powerhouse. To help its prosperous run, oil was discovered in its environs and a major refinery sprung up in its precinct.

Warri became, especially in the 1970’s and 1980’s, one of Nigeria’s iconic places for work and leisure. With proud ease, the residents called it Wafi, or oil booming city, and they called themselves Wafarians. Pride became hauteur and hauteur led to ominous complacency. It was in the midst of this feeling that hate developed.

It was a fight between the Ijaws and Itsekiris over a delineation, and hell broke loose. The two ethnic groups went after each other. Day and night, slaughter defined time. Waves of violence moved from street to street. Innocents died in their thousands.

The leaders of both groups acquired arms, stoked the rhetoric and drums of war. It began during the military era, and even soldiers on both sides supplied arms and strategy. It was the war of brothers.

If in the past they did what neighbours did, the only feature of their relationship was bloodletting. So terrible was it that no one wanted to come into the city. Those who had made home of the place wanted to leave. And they left not to return.

What was lost was its soul. That soul was characterised by great business names, like Shell Corporation, Texaco, Chevron, John Holt, Leventis. That meant jobs of high value had left the city, and it also implied that its cherished men of means and middle-class culture disappeared.

When commerce goes, people go, and the result is a rump of its culture. When the hostilities ended, they faced a new battle to bring back its halcyon days.

For decades, that has been the challenge. If the big businesses have not forgotten the bad memories, the politicians atop the tribes seem to have.

The governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has focused on infrastructure programmes while lamenting that he is trying to bring life to it when some politicians want to snuff it out. He has set up a peace committee.

We hope that commonsense will prevail over malice and the greed of the politicians will not becloud them to the appeals of the better angels of the city.

The House of Representatives yesterday passed for the second reading a Bill to strengthen the recovery and management of the proceeds of crimes in the country.

The Bill, sponsored by Yusuf Adams Gagdi (APC, Plateau), seeks to amend the Proceeds of Crime (Recovery and Management Act Number 92 of 2022.

In his lead debate on the general principles of the Bill, Gagdi recalled that the Bill was enacted to provide a uniform legal framework for the recovery, management, and disposal of proceeds of crime or unlawful activity in Nigeria.

The lawmaker said it was a landmark legislation aimed at strengthening the fight against corruption, money laundering, and economic and financial crimes.

According to him, in the course of implementation, certain legal, procedural, and practical gaps have become apparent.

Gagdi noted that the gaps have limited the effectiveness of the Act in facilitating non-conviction-based forfeiture, protecting whistleblowers, safeguarding witnesses, and ensuring expeditious judicial processes.

He said the amendment Bill seeks to strengthen the Act by closing the identified gaps, enhancing accountability mechanisms, and expanding its operational scope to align with contemporary anti-corruption and asset recovery standards.

Justifying the rationale for the Bill, Gagdi, who heads the House Committee on Navy, said the Bill is rooted in the need to make the proceeds of crime act more effective, responsive, and just in the recovery and management of proceeds of unlawful activities.

He said: ‘The fight against corruption and illicit financial flows in Nigeria must go beyond conviction-based recovery of assets. Many cases of corruption, economic sabotage, and illicit enrichment cannot be effectively prosecuted due to death of suspects, flight from jurisdiction, or complex legal hurdles.

‘Non-conviction-based forfeiture provides an important tool for recovering assets in such situations, while still ensuring due process and judicial oversight.

‘Furthermore, the amendment seeks to introduce clarity, consistency, and procedural fairness in the operation of interim and final forfeiture orders, admissibility of evidence, and management of forfeited assets, including digital or virtual assets. This is in line with global best practices and Nigeria’s international obligations under the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations.’

Gagdi said the key objectives of the Bill include strengthening the legal framework for non-conviction-based forfeiture by expressly providing for the recovery of properties reasonably suspected to be proceeds or instrumentalities of unlawful activity, even without a criminal conviction.

The lawmaker said it would provide for whistleblowing and witness protection mechanisms under a new Section 81 of the Act, empowering relevant agencies to receive, investigate, and act on credible information while ensuring the safety and welfare of whistleblowers.

Also, the Bill will streamline judicial procedures by defining clear timelines for publication, response, and hearing of forfeiture applications, ensuring expeditious determination of cases and minimizing abuse of court processes, while recognizing virtual assets and digital proceeds of crime by establishing a National Confiscated Wallet for Virtual Assets to be managed by the Central Bank of Nigeria alongside the Confiscated and Forfeited Properties Account.

Besides, the law, he said, would enhance the admissibility of evidence, including hearsay evidence, where necessary for the effective prosecution and recovery process, consistent with civil forfeiture standards, strengthen institutional coordination by empowering relevant organizations to act efficiently and transparently in the recovery, preservation, management, and disposal of forfeited properties and ensure victims’ rights are protected, by allowing proceeds of forfeited properties to be applied for restitution where applicable.

He described the Proceeds of Crime (Recovery and Management) (Amendment) Bill, 2025, as a forward-looking reform aimed at consolidating Nigeria’s anti-corruption architecture.

He said: ‘It will make asset recovery more efficient, enhance transparency and accountability, and build public confidence in the justice system.

‘By supporting this Bill, we will be strengthening the institutional and legal capacity of our nation to trace, recover, and manage proceeds of crime both within and outside our borders.’

TikToker Perry Blink has opened up on struggles with mental health, revealing the harsh realities of the content creation industry.

Perry Blink, who was once a booming content creator on TikTok, expressed feelings of isolation, depression, and suicidal thoughts, citing the pressures of maintaining collaborations and dealing with online backlash.

According to Perry Blink, the loss of friendships and collaborations has significantly impacted his mental health.

The father of one, claimed that many creators he had supported and collaborated with in the past have distanced themselves, leaving him feeling abandoned and unappreciated.

He emphasised the need for genuine connections and support within the industry, rather than transactional relationships.

He wrote: ‘FIRST STEP OF STARTING OVER IS TO FIRSTLY ADMIT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU WAS ALL YOUR FAULT. and this post is not about feeling entitled or not trying to pick up or trying to complain !! No I am not blaming anyone, everyone got up for them self and be who they are today! Which I am happy for but the case is while you all were growing I

made sure I played a very vital and good role in your lives, is it about collaborations ??

‘I could make dozens of videos with creators without taking a penny even artist I am not just talking about promotions but also introducing everyone to a bigger creator and brands ! . but now how many of them do you see with me ?? Not like I dont text or comment or call them but I automatically became a fan !!

‘I mean imagine texting someone for months just go give you a collaboration and commenting on their post and you guys have been friends before oooo! And there yall start bashing me like I was the first creator to get married, yeah I had a child and I just wanna be responsible and keep up to that life but yall bashed the innocent girl and saying she ruined my life when in reality she just did what every other girls would do.

‘From getting robbed to house getting burnt, loosing my equipment, no where I didnt seek for help and while all this was happening I had a supportive wife pushing then no one saw that side just so quick to judge, my relationship was ruined I was depressed, isolated, scared cause even the fans on here was heavily bashing me while I was just trying to balance things for myself . I had tried to hurt myself several but still find myself here ..

‘If you are aspiring creator like me I would advise you to stay connected with your craft first before collaborating cause the moment you think you are making friends while you are collaborating they are just seeing it as an opportunity to use you yet you think you have a relationship with them in your mind until you actually need them and everywhere becomes silent and dark!!..

‘I reached out even if its to work under some cause I was having both financial and mental health issues at that time but no one replied the ones that did turn down my collaborations and then my reality kicked, I am young and just living for the first time all I need is yall support and encouragement.as I believe I can do this again and be unstoppable this time I would put a second post up and see how I had gone texting creators and no one wanna work with me and the ones that did are just the people I didn’t even had relationship with I just know we are co creators and I am very happy so I would use every resource I have now if I am not meeting to your expectations you can help me I would gladly take them instead of asking me to meet yall in 2025.

‘Also I have to stay alive for myself son and for the same of that yall should leave DARASMILE ALONE!! My relationship was not the first to fall apart and I am not also the first person to fall off at the peak of their career #suicideethoughts #depressed’.
