Controversial Nigerian preacher, Funmilayo Adebayo nicknamed Mummy GO has criticized the celebration of Valentine’s day by Christians describing it as “demonic.”
It seems the controversial preacher is not fazed by the constant criticism she receives as she continues to air her opinion on popular practices.
Analyzing the reason why the celebration of Valentine’s day is demonic, Evangelist Fumilayo taught a bit of history to her listeners, revealing that Saint Valentine whom the day is named after had his last days filled with misery before he finally died.
“The story that happened that they said they are celebrating as Valentine does not deserve celebration. The story has nothing to celebrate, but the enemy just chose it because that man — Valentino or what did they call him — they knew everybody loves him because he is a good person, who helped people and showed love to everyone.”
“Yet, how did he die? He died a useless, terrible death. He died of dejection if you know the story very well. Is that something that needs to be celebrated? No.”
Mummy GO said that the devil used the day to lure people into committing immorality.
“But they purposively chose it because the kingdom of darkness needs a day dedicated for falling, destruction and how do you convince people to celebrate immorality: they use popular figures loved by others.”
“The original story of Valentine, does it have anything with sex? Outside there, Valentine means a day for boyfriend and girlfriend. If you see some boys and girls, they will say today is Valentine, you just want me to go like that, if you no gree, I’ll look for another person,” she added.
“That is because young people believe it a day they must-have sex and romance. So, the story of that Valentine does not reflect what people are celebrating today. In fact, February 14 is the day the whole world molested the death of Jesus Christ.
“After that day, go to the hospital. Five months after February 14 abortion takes place all over the world because unexpected pregnancy will come and sexual immorality is usually at its peak. A lady without a man on that day would feel she is the worst.
The history behind Valentine’s day has been difficult to trace, however, over the years, historians have linked the day to ancient practices including one tracing it to a somewhat inhumane ritual in ancient Rome that included men flogging women with animal hide for fertility.
Another story traces the origins to Emperor Claudius II’s execution of two men named Valentine on February 14th of two different years in the 3rd century. In honor of these men, the Catholic Church choose to honor them as matyrs, chosing to celebrate them on Valentine’s day. NPR has the details.
Asake’s ‘Mr Money With the Vibe’ Is Charting Top 50 On Spotify
Three years after its release, Asake’s Mr Money With the Vibe is still doing numbers. At the time of press, the track ‘Nzaza’ currently ranks 23rd on Spotify Nigeria’s Top 50 songs, that’s 148 weeks and counting, nearly three years of nonstop streaming for a debut project.
For most artists, a first album fades after its moment. For Asake, it’s really that moment that refuses to fade.
Released September 8, 2022, through YBNL Nation and Empire, Mr Money With the Vibe arrived when the streets already knew Asake’s name. He had already spent months turning singles like Sungba into hits. This 12-track debut built on that momentum, and he managed to do even more.
The project blends Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Fuji influences, creating a sound that can be global yet deeply Nigerian. Songs like Joha, Terminator, and Organise became instant hits, setting the tone for Asake’s larger-than-life run that would define Afrobeats in the mid-2020s.
From its first day out, Mr Money With the Vibe shattered expectations and redefined what a Nigerian debut could do.
Apple Music Africa: The album broke records for the most first-day and most opening three-day streams ever by an African project.Apple Music Nigeria Top 100: For a brief, almost unbelievable stretch, every single track on the album occupied the first 12 spots on the chart. Global Reach: The project reached #1 on Apple Music Album Charts in 26 countries, including six across Europe.
Albums fade, trends change, and new stars rise every quarter. Yet Mr Money With the Vibe remains glued to the top. That consistency says something about both Asake and his audience. For one, the project captured a moment in time, the rise of a new street-pop generation that blurred the lines between amapiano and Yoruba-rooted rhythm. Every track carried Asake’s trademark vocals and a hypnotic tempo that became instantly recognizable across countries.
Wizkid’s Son Enters the Spotlight with Debut EP ‘Champion’s Arrival’
Boluwatife Balogun, the 14-year-old son of Afrobeats titan Wizkid, has finally launched his own music career. Now known by the stage name “Champz”, the young star has just unveiled his first-ever project. The much-anticipated five-track EP, titled Champion’s Arrival, dropped on Tuesday, November 11, instantly sparking fresh buzz on the internet.
Champz himself took to his social media channels to confirm the news via a post that read: “11/11: The Champion has arrived. My debut EP ‘Champion’s Arrival’ is Out Now on all streaming platforms!”
The debut project serves nothing near his father’s iconic Afropop sound as Bolu’s sound is strictly a heavy dose of Rap, Afroswing, and Trap. Early snippets, which went viral weeks ago, showcased a lyrical flow and a smooth, polished composure that belies his tender age.
Fans can now stream the full project across all major digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Audiomack. Champz is signalling his readiness to step into the fiercely competitive Nigerian music scene. The game has a new player.
This is not merely a son following his father; it is a destiny playing out in real time.
Wizkid also began his journey at a tender age, starting in a church choir and later releasing his first collaborative album at just 11 years old under the name ‘Lil Prinz
Incumbent Anambra Governor Charles Soludo Wins Anambra Election
Governor Chukwuma Soludo has secured a return to office after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared him the winner of the November 8, 2025, Anambra State governorship election. The results announced by the electoral umpire showed that the incumbent governor recorded a landslide victory, sweeping all the 21 local government areas of the South-East State. In the early hours of Sunday, November 9, the State Returning Officer and Vice Chancellor of the University of Benin, Professor Omoregie Edoba, declared Soludo the winner of the exercise after collating results from the state’s local government areas.
“I hereby declare that Soludo Chukwuma Charles of the APGA, having satisfied the requirements of the law, is hereby declared the winner and is returned elected,” Edoba said.
The final tally showed that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate garnered 422,664 votes, pulverising his closest challenger, the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag-bearer, Nicholas Ukachukwu, who polled 99,445 votes.
Paul Chukwuma of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) came a distant third with 37,753 votes, while John Nwosu of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) scored 8,208 votes.
Labour Party’s George Moghalu and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Jude Ezenwafor, scored 10,576 votes and 1,401 votes, respectively. Peter Obi, a former Governor of the State and Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023, couldn’t bring his popularity to bear in the election.
Obi, who had spearheaded Moghalu’s campaign, not only failed to secure a victory for his preferred candidate at his polling unit, but the Labour Party’s total votes of 10,576 also fell way short of expectations.
Results from Polling Unit 019, Umudimakasi, Amatutu village, where Obi voted, showed that the APC recorded 73 votes, defeating the Labour Party, which polled 57 votes.
