Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke praised Afrobeats star Davido for promoting their heritage during his 2026 Coachella performance. The artist’s set featured a traditional Yoruba oríkì celebrating his hometown of Ede alongside synchronised visuals.
Davido was the sole Nigerian artist on the official lineup, performing several hit songs and bringing Adekunle Gold on stage.
Iyabo Ojo’s Daughter, Juma, Celebrates First Wedding Anniversary
Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, and her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, marked their first wedding anniversary by sharing emotional throwback photos and videos from their widely publicised wedding.
The couple celebrated their journey on social media, reflecting on their traditional and white wedding ceremonies, which trended across Nigeria and Tanzania. Their relationship, which began after meeting in Rwanda, grew into a high-profile romance that culminated in a cross-cultural wedding in 2025, strengthening ties between both countries’ entertainment scenes.
SSANU Rejects FG’s 30% Pay Rise Offer
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities rejected the Federal Government’s proposed 30% salary increase for non-academic staff, stating that negotiations are still ongoing and no final agreement has been reached.
The union described reports of a concluded deal as misleading and insisted any outcome must meet previously negotiated terms. It issued an ultimatum for talks to be finalised by the end of April 2026, warning that failure to do so could lead to an indefinite nationwide strike alongside other non-academic unions.
