Popular Nigerian comedian, Otaghware Onodjayeke, widely known as I Go Save, has weighed in on the country’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing the contest as a battle between the “poor” and the “paid poor.”

The comedian made the remark in a post shared on his social media page, where he expressed concern over the role of financial inducement in influencing political choices among voters.

According to I Go Save, the outcome of elections is often shaped not only by economic hardship but also by individuals who, despite facing similar challenges, are willing to defend politicians in exchange for financial benefits.

“2027 election is between the poor and the paid poor,” he wrote.

His comment has since ignited online opinion, with supporters and critics offering differing interpretations of the statement as political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the next presidential election.

Controversial Nigerian self-acclaimed relationship expert Blessing CEO has confirmed the death of her son, while denying authorising anyone to solicit financial assistance on her behalf.

DAILY POST reports that Blessing recently lost her second son, Bryan Onyedikachi, while she was still in prison.

Amira Agiye, CEO of the Isaamira Foundation, made the development public in a viral video on Friday evening while soliciting financial assistance for Blessing.

However, confirming the news in a phone conversation with actress Doris Ogala, Blessing denied giving Amira Agiye permission to announce her son’s death.

Sharing the voice conversation with Blessing, Ogala said: “Please oo, if you have donated money, go and collect your money back from that lady. Blessing says she doesn’t know the lady. She didn’t ask her to raise money for her.

“I’m aware that Blessing is almost done with her bail conditions and process, but saying that she’s soliciting for N56 million is a lie. And this is fraudulent.”

In the recorded phone conversation with Ogala, Blessing also denied soliciting financial assistance to meet her bail conditions.

She said: “I didn’t give anybody consent. And I think I’m in the best position to break the news of my son’s death, not an entire stranger.”

Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, has opened up about why he decided to take a break from music.

Responding to a fan via X on Friday, the singer attributed his decision to the death of his mother earlier this year.

According to him, the break was not because he was working on a new album.

The fan, @VicroyDominion1, had tweeted, guessing that working on a new album had made the singer busy and prompted him to pause for a while.

Kizz Daniel, however, said, “I paused for my Mom, not an album… Lost her this year, but I gotta keep moving for the rest of the family… sorry I came late this year.”

Recall that in 2025, Kizz Daniel also revealed that his wife had lost her mother in 2024.
