The singer publicly criticised second term ambition in a video shared on his Instagram page on Wednesday.

While questioning the president’s achievement since he assumed office in 2023, Darlington lamented the government policy failure, structural failure, economic miscalculation, and worsening insecurity.

Darlington further stated that a second term under Tinubu administration would be “hell fire” for Nigerians.

‘’You are here breaking your neck to become the next President of Nigeria but you’re not qualified to be President again. From your first term, we already know that your second term is going to be hell fire.

“When you came to the office in 2023, the first thing you did was to remove the subsidy, knowing very well that everything about Nigerian life is attached to petroleum. Giving those in the oil section thousands of reasons to inflate fuel price, knowing fully well that Nigerians are naturally greedy. Just tell me, what qualifies you for a second term?

‘’You’re not qualify again, You don’t know the job. You haven’t done anything about the rising insecurity across Nigeria.”

Veteran Nollywood actor Roy De Nani has spoken about his painful experiences in the film industry, as well as the personal struggles he has endured over the years of his life.

Speaking on the ‘Where is the lie’ podcast, the actor alleged that at a point in his career, he was unofficially blacklisted from getting acting jobs.

According to him, “A man gave an order that nobody should give Roy De Nani a job again. For years, even when I was already recording, a producer would come in and say, ‘No, cancel it. Stop.’”

Roy De Nani also recalled the pain of losing his brother, saying that no Nollywood actors or actresses supported him during this time.

“I have a brother from the same father. When he died, not a single actor or actress showed up,” he said.

The veteran actor further revealed that he later suffered an even more devastating loss when both his son and daughter died after he could not afford the blood transfusions they urgently needed.

According to him, the children were living with sickle cell disorder and required regular transfusions to stay alive.

“I lost my son, I lost my daughter because they needed blood transfusion so they could continue living, but there was no money to buy the blood, and they died,” he said.

“Nollywood never came to assist me. Not that they don’t care, but they have not been touched. Let it be said that way,” he added.

“If I ever decide to work in government, I would still be performing. I don’t think that stops anything.

Nigerian singer Korede Bello has advocated for couples to have more children, claiming that bringing more people to the world would significantly increase the chances of geniuses being born.

Speaking in a video broadcast, Bello noted that the late music genius Michael Jackson, who was the seventh child of his parents, wouldn’t have been born if his parents decided to have fewer children.

He lamented that many people are now having just one child or fewer children.

He appealed to parents to have many children, stressing that the world needs more musical geniuses like Michael Jackson.

Bello said, “I have been wondering – what if Michael Jackson’s mother had stopped at two or six kids? He was the seventh. Imagine a world without him just because she chose fewer children. Now many people are having just one child. It is very rare to find a young couple with three kids these days.

“What is going with this fewer kids people are having nowadays. I understand that the economic situation limits our desires to populate the earth. But how are we going to continue like this? Are we ever going to get to a place where the house will be filled with children again? We need more Michael Jacksons.”
