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.

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

“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.

Michelle Mukoro, widely known as influencer King Mitchy, is alive, as her management has withdrawn an earlier announcement claiming she had died.

According to her management in a new post, the influencer is okay.

The post reads “Michelle is okay now.”

DAILY POST recalls that the controversy erupted amid a heated social media clash between Mitchy and activist, VeryDarkMan over allegations surrounding her charitable works.

Mitchy had recently stated that she renovated a school within six days and challenged VeryDarkMan regarding his management of public donations since 2025.

Tensions escalated further when VeryDarkMan alleged that Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, was funding Mitchy’s charitable efforts.

The dispute reportedly resulted in the loss of Mitchy’s business Instagram account.

In a disturbing live video, the influencer was seen consuming a substance believed to be a bleach product known as “hypo”.

Her management had earlier announced that she died at Prime Care Hospital in Abuja, stating that medical efforts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful and urging the public to respect her family’s privacy.

However, Prime Care Hospital refuted the claim, maintaining that Mitchy was never admitted to their facility and warning that legal action would be taken against individuals circulating false information.
