After beating Portable, Cater Efe challenges Wizkid to boxing showdown

Nollywood actor-turned-politician, Olumide Oworu, has said one of the reasons for the widespread corruption among Nigerian politicians is because they see politics as a career rather than as a medium of service.

Speaking in a recent episode of The Clarity Zone podcast, the movie star argued that ideally, politics is supposed to be about creating systems that service the needs of the people.

He noted that a lot of Nigerian politicians chase after self-aggrandisement because they don’t have any other means of livelihood aside politics.

He added that the political apathy among the youth is caused by the brand of “dirty politics” practiced in Nigeria.

Oworu said, “Politics is two things – systems and service. I think the type of politics and the idea of who a politician is, is why a lot of young people shy from away from it. Because they think it is dirty and for the unexposed.

“But on the contrary, it is for the people that are learned and well-travelled; the people that have a means. Politics is not supposed to be a career. But it is for a lot of people in Nigeria and that is the issue.

“We have career politicians and that is the problem. Because you are going to do whatever it takes to get into office, because you have no plan B. The entirety of your existence is hinged on getting in to this office. The life that you envisioned for yourself and family is tied to whether you get into office or not. Which is also why you need a godfather because you are willing to do whatever it takes to get into the office. You are bringing almost not value to the table.

“I don’t think that godfatherism should be in politics but sadly, a lot of politicians have godfathers because of the style of politics we practice. We need to change that. What should matter should be capacity.”

DAILY POST recalls that Oworu contested for the position of House of Assembly member, representing Surulere 1 constituency in Lagos State under the Labour Party during the 2023 elections but lost to his colleague, Desmond Elliott of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Nigerian billionaire and politician, Senator Ned Nwoko, has reportedly had his estranged wife Regina Daniels’ best friend, Ann, arrested.

Ann was arrested in Lagos State on Monday by police officers from the Ajah Division.

Sharing a video of her arrest, Regina’s elder brother, Sammy, revealed in an Instagram post that the police arrived with a court order to detain Ann for alleged conspiracy, assault, and theft.

While stating that Ann has never visited the senator’s house, Sammy questioned the integrity of the Nigerian judiciary and the police, saying, “Nigeria has failed us.”

“There was no time Ann was ever at Ned’s house. So how is there a court order to detain her for conspiracy, theft, and all? Omo. Nigeria has failed us.”

DAILY POST reports that the arrest of Regina Daniels’ relatives and associates began two months ago after the actress called out the senator over alleged abuse and domestic violence.

The dispute between Afrobeats superstar, Davido, and 12-year-old Anuoluwapo Mitchelle, who claims to be his daughter, has intensified following the release of a leaked chat in which the singer allegedly threatened to have the girl’s mother, Ayo Labinjoh, arrested for ongoing “harassment”.

The conversation, which appeared on Anuoluwapo’s Instagram page, co-managed by her mother, shows a tense exchange where Davido reportedly stood his ground, denying her paternity.

While the singer has not confirmed the chat’s authenticity, the messages have quickly gone viral.

In the leaked chat, the singer allegedly warned, “Stop this nonsense. Keep playing, and I will arrest your mother. Try this nonsense again. I’m not your father.”

When Anuoluwapo clarified that her mother was not part of her personal appeal, Davido reportedly doubled down:

“I am not your father. Go and find your father. This is the last time. I’m warning. I’ve done five DNA tests. You’re not mine. Please stop this nonsense before it gets messy.”

Anuoluwapo asked for the results of the tests, and Davido reportedly replied,

“Yes, I will show you. Five. Two of the hospitals were chosen by your mother. Two were chosen by me. All negative. Four tests. Then one test 10 years. That’s five. You’re not my child.”

Expressing frustration at the prolonged dispute, he added,

“You guys have been harassing me for years, and it has to stop. It’s not fair on my actual kids. Please, stop it.”

Davido reportedly indicated he would make the matter public and pursue legal action:

“Don’t worry, I will publish them tomorrow and in the newspaper. I will publish online and in newspaper. Then I will take your mom to court. She thinks it’s a game. Just watch. She will go to jail.”

When Anuoluwapo asked for the hospitals’ names, he allegedly responded:

“It will show in the tests. You don’t worry. I’m not your dad. Sorry. You’re not my child. We will publish everything. Warn your mother. You’re not an Adeleke. I’m sorry. You can also go to the hospitals and confirm for yourself.”
