Adekunle Gold started his career as a graphic designer, working from a tiny Surulere apartment. He also did music part-time and did a lot of freestyles and covers.
One afternoon in 2014, a call came through. It was from YBNL Nation. “We need a logo,” the voice said.
Adekunle didn’t hesitate. He went on to sketch the now-famous YBNL logo that same day. He was a badass graphic designer known as "King of Photoshop".
He also designed the album art for Lil Kesh's debut album, Y.A.G.I (Young And Getting It), which was released in 2016. And the logo for Lil Kesh's YAGI Records.
One day, he released Sade over a Pheelz produced beat. Pheelz listened to the song and told Olamide. Pheelz now forwarded Olamide's number to Adekunle Gold on his instruction.
He picked up his phone and called the number Pheelz had forwarded.
“Adekunle?”
The voice on the other end was calm, almost shy.
“Yes, sir.”
“I dey feel this ‘Sade’ song scatter,” Olamide said, straight to the point.
“I no want make you change am. Come sign for YBNL. Make we blow this thing together.”
There and then, Adekunle Gold 's chapter in YBNL was written.

How Tinubu Won and Lost the North
By Salihu Tanko Yakasai
The story of the 2023 presidential election cannot be told without the North. It was central to the emergence of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, not just in votes, but in trust, alliances, and calculated political risk taken by influential Northern actors at critical moments.
Before the primaries, Tinubu’s network in the North was deep and deliberate. He had strong ties with figures like Aliyu Wamakko and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, alongside key APC governors such as Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Nasir El-Rufai, and former Governor Abubakar Badaru. These were not ceremonial relationships - they translated into real political leverage.
At a time when resistance within the ruling party threatened his ambition, these Northern allies stood firm. They backed him through the primaries, even when it meant confronting entrenched interests, or the so-called cabal within the Presidential Villa. Northern governors went as far as meeting late President Muhammadu Buhari to demand clarity on succession. His neutral stance opened the door, and they walked Tinubu through it.
Then came the election season. Policies like the naira redesign, widely seen as an attempt to weaken Tinubu’s chances, were openly resisted by some of these same allies. Their support was not passive - it was active, visible, and costly.
Beyond politics, Tinubu also secured the backing of influential Muslim scholars. The Muslim-Muslim ticket became a rallying point. Clerics framed it as a matter of religious duty and mobilized support, even from the mimbar during Friday prayers.
By the time the votes were counted, the numbers told the story. Tinubu, a Southern candidate, drew the bulk of his strength from the North - 63%, compared to 36% from the South. The North invested in him, and delivered.
But what followed has been a different story.
There is now a growing sense among many of those same Northern allies that the relationship has not translated into inclusive governance. Complaints of exclusion and lack of consultation are widespread. Key figures who helped deliver victory now appear sidelined.
Nasir El-Rufai’s exclusion from the cabinet raised immediate questions. Abdullahi Ganduje was also passed over for executive office, later given the party chairmanship - a role many saw as compensation rather than strategy, and one he eventually exited. Developments involving Abubakar Malami have only deepened perceptions of political distancing and quiet retribution.
Even within government, there are signs of strain. Ministries are underfunded, with allocations falling far below approved budgets. The Minister of Health publicly stated he received just N38 million for capital projects out of a N200 billion proposal. Behind the scenes, some ministers are reportedly funding their roles from personal resources, while others appear better supported. It raises a simple question - what exactly are the priorities?
Religious backing is also shifting. Clerics who once campaigned vigorously are now more critical, especially on issues of trust and fairness. Concerns around INEC and the appointment of a perceived biased umpire have only heightened tensions, with some openly threatening to withdraw support.
A related dimension that is quietly reshaping sentiment in the North is the growing push of what many describe as a “Christian genocide” narrative. While insecurity remains a national crisis, there is increasing resentment in core Northern states where communities have borne some of the heaviest losses over the years. From banditry to insurgency, large swathes of the North have experienced sustained violence affecting predominantly Muslim populations. This has led to a perception that the framing of the crisis is selective and, at times, politically motivated. For many, it raises deeper questions about fairness in national discourse and reinforces a feeling of being misunderstood or deliberately misrepresented 1/2

Troops arrest five vigilantes over alleged accidental killing during wedding celebration in Borno
By: Zagazola Makama
Troops of 73 Battalion (Motorised), in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force, have arrested five suspected vigilantes following an incident of alleged reckless discharge of firearms during a wedding celebration in the Ngomari area of Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State.
Security sources said the incident occurred at about 2:00 p.m. on April 4, 2026, when members of a vigilante group reportedly attached as escorts to the Chairman of Kala-Balge Local Government Area allegedly fired sporadically into the air during a celebration.
A stray bullet was said to have struck a civilian at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) staff quarters, resulting in his death.
Troops and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force were mobilised to the scene, where five suspects were arrested in connection with the incident.
The suspects have since been handed over to the Nigeria Police for further investigation and possible prosecution.
Authorities said efforts are ongoing to ensure accountability and prevent the misuse of firearms during public gatherings.

I am one of the earliest active participants in Internet discussions in Nigeria. I will say 2nd generation if we define 1st generation as people that became active between 1999 and 2004 and second generation 2005 - 2008.
When I say active, I don't mean just sending email and chatting on Yahoo messenger. I mean having usernames and creating or contributing to Internet forums, which were not common then.
I was everywhere in almost all discussion forums - Nigeria Village Square, Nairaland and, later, Facebook.
But I had a younger friend that always talked about Twitter. "Why are you not on Twitter? The type of content you create will do well there? Come to Twitter"
I had actually registered on Twitter since 2010 but I was not active.
I decided to be active from late 2019 and during Covid in 2020.
The rest is history.
Interesting angle: The guy that was telling me to come blocked me just a year in, for differing views. We are longer on public talking terms.

Greed for power is crazy. Because, why is a former Senate president running for governor? Especially someone who has already spent 27 years (8 as reps, 19 as Senator) in the NASS?
