Borno residents protest against Davido over the music video

Davido Borno Music Video

Protests have erupted on the streets of Borno state, Nigeria, with young Nigerians expressing their discontent towards popular Nigerian singer, Davido over a controversial music video. The cause of the protests stems from a controversial music video filmed within the premises of a mosque, featuring Davido’s signed artist, Logos Olori.

Upon the video’s release, it quickly garnered attention from the Muslim community, who viewed the actions depicted in the video as disrespectful to Islam. Despite Davido deleting the video in response to the outcry, some states in northern Nigeria have already imposed a ban on the singer. In the midst of these developments, a group of youths in Borno state has taken a stand, demanding a public apology from Davido. These young protestors were seen holding portraits of the singer as they voiced their grievances on the streets. The situation has drawn the attention of concerned individuals, who are sharing their reactions on various media platforms regarding the actions of the Borno residents and the ongoing controversy surrounding Davido and the music video.

Nice men like Osinbajo don’t make good leaders, they should be selling popcorn and ice cream – Former governor of Borno, Kashim Shettima

Nice men like Osinbajo don’t make good leaders, they should be selling popcorn and ice cream – Former governor of Borno, Kashim Shettima

Senator Kassim Shettima has described the vice president of Nigeria, Yemi Osibanjo as a kind man, but that quality isn’t enough to qualify him as a presidential candidate in 2023.
The senator had said this on Friday night while speaking in an interview with Channels TV.

Shettima believes that the vice president stands no chance to defeat Abubakar Atiku of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) at the polls.

The senator, who is representing Borno Central Senatorial District, says that Osibanjo is a nice man but that doesn’t make one a good leader.
He said;
“Nobody has ever doubted the competence of Professor Osinbajo, but we believe that in terms of intellectual capacity, and someone who is capable of winning the election, is Bola Tinubu.
“We need someone who can match and even overshadow the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar. Osinbajo is a good and nice man but nice men do not make good leaders, nice men should be selling ice cream”.
