Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has publicly criticised Arise Television anchor, Rufai Oseni in a viral video circulating on social media.

In the clip, Edochie questioned Oseni’s moral authority to challenge political leaders and guests on national television, referencing a past incident in Lagos where the broadcaster was reportedly caught driving on a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane.

“Is this not the same Rufai Oseni that was caught driving on BRT lane?” Edochie asked.

“When officials caught you, instead of apologising, you were shouting, ‘Do you know who I am? I’m going to call the governor of Lagos State.’”

He alleged that Oseni only apologised after a video of the incident surfaced online.

“If not because somebody had a video, you could not even apologise. If there was no video, what would have happened?” he said.

The actor also accused the Arise TV presenter of being disrespectful to guests during interviews.

“How can you invite somebody and make the guest uncomfortable?” Edochie queried.

“If a guest is not comfortable, the first thing you do is apologise and make the guest feel at ease. How can you tell a guest that if they’re not comfortable, they are free to walk out of the studio?”

Edochie further criticised what he described as Oseni’s confrontational approach on television.

“You are insulting people on national TV. You’re a very disrespectful person. That is not journalism,” he said.

Defending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Edochie urged critics to accord the President respect and give his administration more time.

“Jagaban President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President of Nigeria, whether you like it or not. He is our President, you must respect him,” he stated. “The man just came in. Give him time. Rome was not built in a day.”

Veteran Nigerian actor Francis Odega has said that the quality of Nollywood movies has drastically reduced over the years.

Speaking in a recent episode of ‘Where Is The Lie’ podcast, Odega claimed that Nollywood during his days was better than Nollywood of today.

He explained that back when he and his contemporaries held sway, Nollywood used to make unforgettable movies but nowadays, Nollywood movies are mostly bad.

“Back then, one script would give us one unforgettable movie. But now, one script can give you seven bad movies, and that’s not right. Nollywood back then, is far better than the Nollywood of today,” the actor said.

Odega stated that he was one of the pioneers of Nollywood, stressing that he was in the movie industry before Nollywood became big.

“I was among of the people who made Nollywood. When we started, Nollywood was just a phenomenon. Our organisation used to be called Nigerian Actors Guild, NAG, before we later changed it to Actors’ Guild Of Nigeria, AGN.

“It was after then that Nollywood came. So, I am one of the pioneers of Nollywood. I have been in the movie industry for 30 years,” he explained.

Public affairs analyst and activist, Blessing Akinlosotu, has urged the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, and Nigerian Broadcasting Commission, NBC, to pay attention to social media content creators to guard against abuse.

Akinlosotu made the call in a statement on Tuesday.

She was reacting to the controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi, social commentator Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, and content creator Mitchel Mukoro, known as King Mitchy.

DAILY POST reports that VeryDarkMan had alleged that Seyi Tinubu and King Mitchy threatened to his life over his remarks on the N100 million donation.

However, Seyi Tinubu dismissed VDM’s claim in a lengthy statement at the weekend.

The feud took another dimension after a report alleged that King Mitchy attempted to take her life.

Reacting to the controversy involving the trio, Akinlosotu noted it was needless for VDM to drag Seyi Tinubu into the matter.

She also condemned King Mitchy for attempting to take her life.

“I call on the Nigeria Communication Commission, the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission and other regulatory agencies to start paying closer and more serious attention to content being generated and churned out on a daily basis by creators across the federation through media.

“There must be strong sanctions, and some persons must be made scapegoats as a way of deterrence.”

The Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel has suspended Dr. Tunde Majekodunmi, Medical Director of Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital, and two other doctors following findings of medical negligence in the treatment of 21-month-old Nkanu Adichie-Esege.

DAILY POST recalls that the tragic death of one of the twin sons of renowned author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and her husband, Ivara Esege, occurred on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, following a brief illness.

Recounting the heartbreaking incident, Adichie, in a statement on Saturday, January 10, 2026 alleged medical negligence surrounding her son’s death.

She explained that her son was taken to Euracare Hospital in Lagos for an MRI scan and the insertion of a central line after initially developing what they thought was a common cold, which later “turned into a very serious infection.”

During the procedure, Nkanu was sedated but was reportedly not properly monitored after receiving propofol, resulting in complications including loss of responsiveness, seizures, and cardiac arrest.

Adichie stated, “He would be alive today if not for an incident at Euracare Hospital on January 6th,” where he had been taken for medical procedures.

The Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel was subsequently constituted to look into the incident.

Following the panel’s investigation, the medical director of Euracare, Majekodunmi, and the hospital’s anesthesiologist, Dr. Titus Ogundare, as well as the Chief Medical Officer at Atlantis Pediatric Hospital, Dr. Atinuke Uwajeh, were suspended.

The trio will remain barred from practicing medicine in Nigeria until their cases are determined by the Medical and Dental Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal.

In addition, the panel found a prima facie case of professional misconduct against 10 other doctors, including Dr. Adeseye Akinsete, Dr. Chidinma Ohagwu, Dr. Anthony Ajeh, Dr. Amarachi Bayo, Dr. Nkechi Peji, Dr. Olaoye Oludare, Dr. Agaja Oyinkansola, Dr. Patricia Akintan, Dr. Babatunde Bamgboye, and Dr. Raji Faidat.

Eight other doctors were cleared of any wrongdoing.

The panel reached these decisions after reviewing complaints against all 21 doctors, examining their counter-affidavits, and considering their oral depositions on oath.

The investigation concluded during the panel’s 25th session in Abuja on February 17 and 18, 2026.

Ace producer and music executive, Osabuohien Osaretin, popularly known as Sarz, has spoken extensively about the negative impacts of poor infrastructures, especially epileptic electricity supply, on the creative industry in Nigeria.

Appearing in a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Sarz explained that unavailability of electricity at the time creatives are inspired could lead to waste of potentials.

The 36-year-old emphasised that despite being born and raised in Nigeria, he has never experienced electricity for 24 hours in the country.

“I was born and raised in this country and I have never experienced electricity for 24 hours. There are times when I wake up feeling inspired and I want to create music but there is not light. Sometimes, even when you want to buy fuel, they will tell that there is a strike or scarcity. And then you end up doing not nothing and the potential just waste,” he said.

“As a creative person, you need to be mentally charged to perform at your best. So, when the infrastructure is lacking the moment you are mentally charged, it is a challenge,” Sarz added.

The producer emphasised that infrastructure is very vital for the entertainment industry to thrive, stressing that the Nigerian entertainment industry is limited by lack of infrastructure.

Nigerian rapper and singer Superboy Cheque has opened up about his battle with acne and how it affected his self-esteem.

Speaking in a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, Cheque recalled how his struggles with acne almost made him quit music.

He explained that in desperation to cure the acne, he bought a makeup that almost disfigured his face.

“I struggled with acne years back. It was terrible. My desperation to cure it led me to buy a makeup that almost disfigured my face. It was embarrassing. I almost quit music. I couldn’t even approach women then.

“After my breakthrough song ‘Zoom’ and I got signed by a record label, it dawned on me that I would be attending interviews and would be in front of cameras. I am a perfectionist. So, I went to get a makeup from a store to clear but instead it almost disfigured my face. I woke up one morning and realised that my whole face has been damaged,” he recalled.

The singer disclosed that the experience inspired his hit song ‘History’ with Fireboy DML.

He added that it also affected his social life and reception of cameras.

Popular streamer Caterefe has revealed that skit maker Sidney Talker influenced his decision to stop going to church.

Appearing in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Caterefe explained that he used to be a consistent churchgoer until Sidney, whom he was looking up to as a dedicated Christian gave him some advice that contradicted his expectation from a seemingly dedicated Christian.

The streamer revealed that Sidney advised him to quit streaming and also discharge his streaming partner Kolu with just a million naira.

He explained that Sidney’s advice comes off to him as malicious and it affected how he views Christians and churchgoers.

“I used to go to church but I stopped because I noticed that a lot of churchgoers are very malicious. For example, Sidney Talker goes to church consistently yet he advised me to quit streaming. I see that as malicious advice.

“He has even advised me before to discharge Kolu with 1 million naira but I refused. That was when I decided to make Kolu my best friend. He said that I should discharge Kolu because his former boss Portable has juju and could attack me.

“I wonder why Sidney Talker is afraid of juju despite his consistency in church. I was surprised by his advice because I was beginning to gain traction and then suddenly he advised me to stop. What reason would you have to tell me to calm down? It seemed malicious to me,” he expressed.

Caterefe also shared that before he started streaming, he was depressed for months because he felt pressured as skit making was fading out of trend.

He explained that he recovered from depression after he began his streaming.
