Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has trashed the comment on social media that Tems is the first Nigerian to win a Grammy award. 
Nigerian singer Tems was nominated in the ‘Best Melodic Rap Performance’ and ‘Best Rap Song’ and won the ‘Best Melodic Rap Performance’ category on Sunday night, at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. After Tems win, a lot of have hailed her as they tag her as the first Nigerian songstress to win a Grammy award. However, Reno Omokri has debunked the claims that Tems is the first Nigerian adding that Nigerian-British singer, Sade Adu, never identified herself as a Nigerian. According to Reno, Sade has spent 40 years promoting Nigeria and it would be wrong to give her credit to Tems. He wrote: Sade Adu has always identified with Nigeria. When interviewed, she stressed her Nigerianness. She did not funkify her name to make it sound European. In interview after interview, she asserted the fact that she is a Nigerian born in Ibadan. So, let us appreciate her. She is the first Nigerian female to win a Grammy in 1986. In honouring another female who eminently deserves to be honoured, let us not dishonour Sade Adu. By saying someone else is the first Nigerian female to win a Grammy, what we are telling Ms. Adu is that she is not a Nigerian. I know many people will rush here to insult me. But before commenting, take a minute to put yourself in Sade Adu’s shoes. You have spent 40 years promoting Nigeria. Insisting to the British media that you are Nigerian when they proudly claimed you for Britain. Then today, you read that someone else is the first Nigerian female to win a Grammy. How would you feel? If after you have put yourself in Sade Adu’s shoes you still feel the need to insult me, then please go ahead.
Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-1 on Sunday, January 15, in Saudi Arabia to win the Spanish Super Cup. Barcelona was dominant in every aspect of the game and took advantage of three mistakes by Real Madrid to score. Goals from Gavi, Robert Lewandowski, and Pedri were enough to end the club’s trophy drought and also earned Xavi Hernandez his first trophy as a coach. The La Liga table toppers took the lead when 18-year-old Gavi fired in from Robert Lewandowski’s pass. Lewandowski struck just before halftime when he finished from Gavi’s pass. 
Since being defeated 3-1 by Real Madrid in October 2022, Barcelona has gone from strength to strength and have secured the number one spot on the La Liga table. This victory also extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to nine games. 
“But at the moment it feels like there’s a special recipe missing in the team – performances, the desire and hunger is maybe not as it was in recent years. “It’s tough, against even a side that’s struggling a little bit in the Premier League right now, but we knew that Southampton was always tough to play, always very aggressive and always able to score a goal. “Unfortunately we made it too easy for them and in the end we need to admit that with a performance like that, we deserved to lose. Hopefully it was the right wake-up call for us. If it is it’s something good we can take out of the game. “We have to do better, we need to start the hard work again and be humble, because things will not come to us automatically – we need to deserve them.”
