Nigeria just lost one of the last traditional wood carver and we didn’t know!!!
I often visited Mr Yinka Fabayo in his Oshogbo studio, sometimes to buy one of his beautiful wood sculptures, other times to pick up fabrics from his ever-gracious wife. Each visit was met with his signature welcome: a heavy punch to my shoulder, a squeeze deep handshake, followed by a warm smile and an unforgettable hug.
Whenever he had an engagement in Ile-Ife, he and his wife would make the trip to my house, and we would share the kind of fellowship that is very rare between a senior artist and a mentee.

We had planned to go to the Qatar show together. I had helped him curated all his works, photographed each sculpture with care, full of excitement for what was to come, but life, in its own way, had other plans.
Egbon Fabayo, You didn’t just live a good life, you left a legacy, you made impact, you built community, you made great art, you carved history, and you lived a deeply fulfilling life.

When you get to the other side, extend my greetings to Lamidi Olonade Fakeye, Õlówè of Ise, Areogun, Bisi Fakeye, but find time to rest well, because you really worked!! You worked!!
May God grant you eternal peace. We will miss you

If you're a proud Yorùbá, let us know your hometown.

PRESS RELEASE

Water Ministry Partners Nestlé Nigeria on Advancement of Water Quality Management in Nigeria.

In a move to promote safe and sustainable water practices, the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation (FMWRS) has announced a collaborative partnership with Nestlé Nigeria to drive nationwide Water Quality Management Campaigns. This initiative supports the goals of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in the water sector.

This commitment was made by the Honourable Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Engr. Prof. Joseph Terlumun Utsev, during a courtesy visit by the management of Nestlé Nigeria and members of the Organized Private Sector in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (OPS-WASH) led by Nestlé Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, and Sustainability Lead, Victoria Uwadoka to his office today in Abuja.

The Minister emphasized that efficient water resource management is essential for minimizing public health threats such as cholera and diarrhea, while also helping to mitigate the adverse impacts of flooding. He assured the Ministry’s full support for Nestlé’s campaign and pledged timely collaboration to deliver impactful results.

“The Ministry is committed to working with Nestlé Nigeria to improve water quality across the country. This partnership is in line with our mission to ensure safe water access and support the health and wellbeing of all Nigerians,” Prof. Utsev said.

In his remarks, the Permanent Secretary of FMWRS, Mr. Richard Pheelangwah, applauded Nestlé’s presentation on water quality improvement and pledged the Ministry’s full support for the initiative.

Speaking on behalf of Nestlé Nigeria, Victoria Uwadoka, Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, and Sustainability Lead, stressed the urgency of bridging the knowledge gap around water quality.

“Not all clear water is clean. Poor water quality continues to affect health and increase the prevalence of waterborne diseases. Through our National Water Quality Advocacy Campaign, we aim to raise awareness, educate communities, engage stakeholders, and drive sustainable action,” Uwadoka said.

She further added that the campaign is built on three key pillars: Raising Awareness and Educating, Engaging Stakeholders, and Driving Sustainable Actions.

Providing further insight into the project, Dr. Nicholas Igwe, National Coordinator of OPS-WASH, highlighted that this collaboration goes beyond traditional Corporate Social Responsibility.

“This initiative is focused on long-term water rehabilitation. In Abaji Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), 16 communities will benefit, while 8 communities in Agbara, Ogun State, are also set to receive support. Additionally, two farming communities in Abaji and Agbara will benefit from the introduction of water harvesting systems for irrigation,” Dr. Igwe noted.

The Director of Water Quality Control and Sanitation at the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation, Mrs. Elizabeth Ugoh, noted that the ongoing baseline report on water quality and its parameters will significantly strengthen the water quality collaboration with Nestlé Nigeria.

In attendance were some Directors of the Ministry including Director, Water Supply, Mr. Babarinde Segun Mukaila, Director Planning and Technical Support Services, Engr. Adeyinka Adenopo, Directors 11 & 111 of the Department of Water Quality Control and Sanitation, Habu Jamilu, mni and Ibiyemi Olu-Daniels, and Director Special Duties, Chucks Mbaike, respectively

Angélique Kidjo first black African to get Hollywood Walk of Fame star

Musical icon Angélique Kidjo has become the first black African performer to be selected for a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Kidjo, who comes from the West African country of Benin and has won five Grammy awards, was among the 35 names announced as part of the Walk of Fame's class of 2026 list.

The 64-year-old was hailed as Africa's "premier diva" during a press conference announcing the list on Wednesday.

Singer Miley Cyrus, actor Timothée Chalamet, actress Demi Moore and former basketball player Shaquille O'Neal are also among those set to be honoured with a star on Los Angeles' famous walk.


Kidjo receives the honour after making music for more than four decades and releasing 16 albums.

The songstress has won fans across the world with her commanding voice and ability to fuse West African styles with the likes of funk, jazz and R&B.

Her long list of collaborators includes forces such as Burna Boy, Philip Glass, Sting and Alicia Keys.

Kidjo joins Charlize Theron, a white South African actress, in representing Africa on the Walk of Fame, which comprises more than 2,700 stars.

Theron received her star in 2005.

The date on which Kidjo will see her star unveiled on the Walk of Fame has not yet been announced.

After recipients have been selected for a star, they have two years to schedule induction ceremonies.

Kidjo grew up in Benin, but left for Paris in 1983, citing oppression from the country's then communist government.

"From the moment the communist regime arrived in Benin, I became aware that the freedom we enjoy can be snatched away in a second," she told the BBC in 2023.

She said she has been driven by curiosity since childhood, adding: "my nickname was 'when, why, how?'. I want to understand things, to understand my place in this world."

Kidjo worked as a backing singer in France before striking out as a solo artist in 1990, with the album Parakou.

She is a Unicef and Oxfam goodwill ambassador, and has her own charity, Batonga, which is dedicated to supporting the education of young girls in Africa.

“When I started acting, Nollywood was very different. We didn’t have much money, and the cameras were simple. Making movies was hard work.

One day, I was offered a role in “Sakobi: The Snáke Girl.” At first, I was not sure I wanted to do it. The story was unusual, and the pay was small. I thought maybe it wasn’t the right role for me.

But the director, Andy Amenechi, told me, “Gentle Jack, you are the perfect man for this role. You don’t talk much, but you look strông and calm. This character needs you.”

I trusted him and accepted the role.

Filming was tóugh. We worked long hours, sometimes under the hot sun or in bád weather. But I gave it my all.

When the movie came out, people loved it. They called me the “silent wárrior,” and that movie made me famous. It changed my life forever.

Looking back, I’m glad I didn’t say no. Sometimes, the hárdest choices lead to the best rewards.” - Gentle jack

RENO OMOKRI'S “EVIDENCE” FAILS TO PROVE HE MADE PETER OBI VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

Recently,Reno Omokri claimed he was instrumental in Peter Obi’s selection as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in 2019,and offered an email screenshot as “proof” of this claim.But a closer look at the content shows that Reno’s supposed evidence is weak and irrelevant.

First,the email,dated October 8, 2018,is from a third party who wrote to Reno thanking him for support to [name redacted] and for building a better Nigeria.It then goes on to say “I have been directed by our Oga to send my resume.”That is the entire substance of the message.

There is no mention whatsoever of any recommendation of Peter Obi,any strategic discussion about vice presidential candidates,any personal involvement by Reno in influencing Atiku’s selection,any mention of Atiku or PDP decision-making,any evidence that Reno even forwarded the email to Atiku or was part of the selection process

In essence,the email only shows that someone who called Reno “dear brother” was sending a résumé likely for a political appointment and acknowledging his general support for an unnamed candidate.It is a routine political networking letter,not a confidential kingmaker memo.

If Reno Omokri had truly played a decisive role in nominating Peter Obi,you would expect to see a direct communications between Reno and Atiku,strategy memos,phone call records,minutes of meetings referencing his advice.
At the very least,a message explicitly discussing Obi’s nomination

Instead,what he posted proves nothing beyond the fact that he was part of the PDP orbit,as many were at the time.It is a big leap from “someone sent me their résumé” to “I made Peter Obi the VP candidate.” The evidence simply does not hold up.

Political history deserves more serious documentation than a single résumé email.Nigerians are entitled to transparency and facts,not half-baked bragging right.

“At 47, my last child is done with university. I started this motherhood journey at just 16, when people said I was too young to get married. But look at God! All my kids are grown, educated, and building their own lives. It hasn’t been an easy ride, but every sâcrifice, every téar, every sléépless night was worth it. Watching them graduate one after the other fills my heart with prîde. Now I can finally breathe, smile, and say — I did it. Mama is finally free” – Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde.
