Celebrity fashion designer, Toyin Lawani, has called for regulation of the Nigerian health care system.

She made the call in a post on Instagram on Sunday shortly after accusing a popular Lagos-based private hospital, Euracare, of mismanaging her health.

The founder of Tiannah Empire stated that she had complications from a spine surgery in the hospital due to negligence.

Lawani, who alleged that “most of the doctors there are not even permanent doctors”, also accused the hospital of using “international standards to lure clients”.

While advising Nigerians who can afford medical treatments abroad to run for their dear life, Lawani called on the Nigerian government to regulate its health system to save the life of the people.

“Nigeria’s health care system needs regulation. Anybody from abroad can have money and come open hospital in Nigeria as a business & do as they wish.

“But seeing @chimamanda_adichie story today triggered me to speak up so that so many people can be saved.

“Euracare is like a buisness center,
Most of the doctors there are not even permanent doctors. They come perform surgeries and go. if u have health issues in Nigeria if you have your money, run ooooo”, she said.

Lawani’s outburst came after famous author, Chimamanda Adichie, accused
Euracare of negligence over her son’s death.

Celebrity fashion designer, Toyin Lawani, has called out a Lagos based hospital, Euracare, over alleged complications following a surgery at the facility.

The founder of Tiannah Empire called out the hospital on Sunday in a series of posts on her Instagram page.

Narrating her experience, Lawani stated that she visited the private clinic for “spine surgery” but lost the use of her legs and had lung infection after spending almost N100 million at the hospital.

While threatening to sue the hospital when she’s strong, she wrote “Euracare Hospital your cup is finally full, shebi I told you people I don’t have your time yet. Don’t worry just wait for me. I’m coming.

“You go spend close to 100m for hospital & them go still mismanage your health. They thought I was joking when i said i was going to sue, but i said they should just wait first when I’m stronger i will tell my story, Still suffering the consequences from Euracare right now na another thing u go find go there, na another thing dem go carry put for ur hand.

“Till today i still can’t speak well or walk well. I had complications and started bleeding in my lungs. Had to be taken back into the theatre the next day to reoperate again, before i know i stopped breathing, They had to puncture my lungs and destroyed my vocal cords. When i lost the use of my two legs after i was sent home & i ended up back in that hospital again, I had to call the ent doc in UK. He then told them to operate for the 3rd time to take the tracheotomy tube out from my lungs and see if i can breathe myself,

“Wo after that i was on next flight to uk with my family. When i got here,
the doctors told me i had to do another surgery again & said i had infection in my lungs & they showed me the big lumps. Still in hospital in & out till date due to this. They won’t even care if its their mismanagement, you will still pay.”

DAILY POST reports that Lawani broke her silence after renowned author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, accused the same hospital of negligence that resulted in her son’s death on Wednesday.

Reacting to Chimamanda Adichie’s allegation, the Lagos state government ordered an investigation into the the incident.

The Nigeria Police and former Big Brother Naija star, Leo Da Silva have engaged in a public debate over strategies to combat “one chance” menace and individuals reportedly involved in street-level scams and petty crimes across major Nigerian cities.

On Sunday, Leo Da Silva took to X to express frustration with current police deployment strategies, questioning the effectiveness of roadside checkpoints and suggesting that police efforts would be better focused on bus stops, where “one chance” operators are more active.

“Nothing pisses me off than ‘one chance’. It’s like mini kidnapping, mini banditry. Instead of police mounting useless checkpoints to greet us, why not go to bus stops and investigate these one-chance operators and grab all of them??” he tweeted.

The reality TV star’s comments prompted a response from the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who emphasized that enforcement strategies must balance action with protecting citizens from harassment.

“I am sure you would come back to complain of police harassment, profiling and unnecessary delays at the bus stops. There are smarter ways.

“Let us start by making moves for 24/7 CCTV coverage of all bus stops. Just in case you’d ask, it isn’t for us to install, but it’ll help us a great deal,” Hundeyin posted, advocating for technological solutions to improve policing while reducing friction with commuters.

Leo Da Silva later clarified that his main concern was ensuring police manpower is prioritised toward directly tackling criminal activity rather than traditional checkpoints.

“I don’t know what your first sentence means, even if that doesn’t affect me, it’s a valid complaint. Instead of deploying unnecessary checkpoints, why not suggest to the force that one chance operators must be caught.”

“Use that manpower to sort that. Abuja and Lagos, especially,” he wrote, highlighting the specific challenges in Nigeria’s capital cities.

Seun Kuti, a Grammy-nominated singer and son of the late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has said it is an insult to refer to Afrobeats singer Wizkid as the modern day equivalent of his father.

Kuti stated this while warning Wizkid fans, otherwise known as Wizkid FC, to stop comparing the Ojuelegba crooner with the late Afrobeat maestro during a recent Instagram livestream.

He explained that comparing Wizkid or any new generational artist to Fela is an insult to the legacy of the Afrobeat pioneer.

“Wizkid FC keep Fela’s name out of your mouths. You try to claim that your fake artiste is the new Fela. Then when you people saw that the shoes were to big to fill and people like me also did not allow you to get away with those insults… It is actually an insult [to compare Wizkid to Fela].

“You people have no respect. I like it when people don’t have respect as a form of defiance. If your lack of respect came from a place of defiance, I will respect it. But your lack of respect came from a place of ignorance…

“Wizkid fans are online disrespecting Fela again. Why must you always involve Fela in your petty discussions? The overzealousnes of some of fans has significantly affected the music industry negatively. Some artists can’t even collaborate because of fan rivalries.

“I think Wizkid FC is the most ignorant fanbase in the world… You need to stop misbehaving. Concentrate on your artist. Can’t you enjoy their music without comparing it to something else? Do you know why you cannot enjoy your artist’s music without comparing it to something else? It is because the music does not fill your spirit. You can pretend to be enjoying it, but spiritually, you are not satisfied,” he expressed.

Popular Nigerian musician, Asake, has finally reconciled with his father, his daughter and baby mama.

The reconciliation move came after he was called out online for abandoning them after he became rich and famous.

Asake was heavily criticised earlier in 2025, after his baby mama, Adijat accused him of neglect despite standing by him when he had nothing.

In March 2025, Asake’s father, Fatai Odunsi, who is a stroke survivor, also called him out for abandoning him.

Following the backslash from netizens, including some celebrities, Asake reached out to his father and promised to finance his medical bills and also buy him a house.

However, a trending photo of the singer with his father, which surfaced online on Friday morning, signaled a return to harmony.

This came a few days after Asake reunited with his daughter and his baby mama.

Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, known as Portable has criticised his colleague, Mavo, describing him as “untalented.”

Speaking in a video broadcast via his social media page, Portable alleged that the Shakabulizzy crooner relies heavily on auto-tune to make music.

Sharing a clip of Mavo’s live performance, the Zazu hitmaker claimed that judging by the performance, he isn’t a talented musician.

Portable also claimed that his signees were more talented than Mavo.

He said, “Mavo uses auto-tune. I’ve been seeing some celebrities associating and collaborating with you. You now went to do a live band. Is that how to perform? Even my signees sing better than you.

“Your live performance is shambolic. That’s not how to use a live band. I blame the superstars who overlook real talents and support overhyped wack artists.”

Mavo is yet to respond to Portable’s criticism.

Popular Nollywood actress, Bolaji Ogunmola, has called out the United Nigeria Airline for cancellation of her flight twice in two days.

The actress who explained that she came to Ekiti State for work and was supposed to return to Lagos State for another filming on Wednesday, accused the airline of delaying her flight for two days without any communication from the airline, leaving her stranded.

Expressing her frustration, Bolaji threatened to sue the airline for toying with her time and her source of livelihood.

Speaking in a video on her Instagram page on Thursday morning, she stated “lawyer will take this up.”

” I was supposed to fly yesterday. I got to the airport and they said that something happened and that flight was delayed. I waited for hours after which they said they are not flying again that they’ve cancelled the flight.

“And I said ok, you have cancelled the flight, what’s the plan? I need to get to Lagos. They’re like ok, there’s nothing they can do. I tried Akure as well but nothing happened. So, this morning they said they are going to fly 8:am this morning and I have to pay for hotel, pay bills. And I woke up this morning by 5am and rushed to the airport by 6:30am, some people also met me here and they said oh, we’re still flying is not for 8am again is for 9:30am.

“This is very painful because you could have just sent a message because I’m working today and there was no conversation, nothing was said. They later said the 90:30 flight  has been moved to 12pm, and now they said they are going to move by 5:30, and I’m supposed to be on set. As we speak, my crew production, everything are all on set. I’m going to take this up because I’m not the type to start yelling and fighting.

“I’m doing this video to have evidence of what just happened to me. And literally, I’m stuck in a State I don’t know anybody. I’m waiting for a car to come and pick me so that I can get to Lagos and I don’t know the time I’m going to get to Lagos. It’s not only my time they are toying with, it’s actually the source of my livelihood as well. I’m literally stuck and outside here, and there is no reason why that is happening. I have to go by road which is very unsafe and my lawyer will take this up. They are not remorseful, they are unfair and they don’t have any form of decency”, she said with tears.

DAILY POST reports that this came barely a month after the commencement of commercial flight operation in Ekiti State.
