We know and pray, for on God alone we rely.

It’s so easy to look back, forget, and think we made alone.
I’m grateful that we’re still a work that’s not yet done.

I wish you, my wife, many many more years together.
I certainly couldn’t have asked for someone better.

Banky W Calls For Change in New Song ‘Talk & Do’ Featuring 2Baba, Timi Dakolo, Waje & Seun Kuti

Top Nigerian singer Banky W has released a new song titled ‘Talk and Do‘.

‘Talk and Do’ is the antithesis of Davido‘s ‘Fem‘ (shut up) – a social and politically charged song which challenges people to not just talk about the ills in Nigeria and the world at large, but also back up those words with action where we can, and effect change in our little way.

On the new offering, Banky W collaborates with veterans and activists within the Nigerian music space, featuring the likes of 2Baba, Waje, Timi Dakolo, Seun Kuti alongside Brookstone and LCGC.

Speaking on the song, Banky has this to say:

“Just talking about our problems is not enough we’ve got to try and do something about them. That’s what “Talk and Do” is all about, combining actions with our words, to try and be a part of the change we’d like to see in the world. If you’re already doing something, anything to be a part of the solution, then hopefully this can be your soundtrack. And if you’re not, then hopefully this can be your inspiration.”

Lawmaker Desmond Elliot Denies Supporting Alleged Lagos State Anti-Social Media Bill

0

Former actor Desmond Elliot was recently accused of supporting the motion to regulate the use of social media by influencer, Olufunmilayo.

Popular Nollywood actor-turned-politician and lawmaker, Desmond Elliot, has come out to refute reports that lawmakers in the Lagos State House of Assembly are considering passing an anti-social media bill in the state.

Elliot took to his Instagram page on Monday, October 26, 2020, where he shared a video denying that such a bill is being considered in the statehouse, not to talk of him supporting it.

In the video, the Lagos State lawmaker said that it was not in the jurisdiction of the state government to pass such a bill.

He said: “Good evening. My name is Desmond Elliot. I just came out of a plenary sitting at the House of Assembly and before we finished, Dr. Olufumilayo tweeted saying. ‘The Lagos State House of Assembly is developing a bill to regulate and control speech on social media and Desmond Elliot is said to be one of those pushing this. So the plan is to deny the Lekki massacre.

“Please, I beg of you, I beg us and everyone. This is not true, it is totally unfounded. Dr. Olufunmilayo, why don’t you even verify? Aren’t we going through a lot already? It is not true, period.”

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CG0CN22p2Aa/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

This comes hot on the heels of Olufunmilayo, a medical doctor, calling out Desmond Elliot on Twitter for reportedly pushing a bill to regulate and control free speech on social media during a plenary session at the house on Monday.

https://twitter.com/DrOlufunmilayo/status/1320800941914902528?s=20

Elliot also slammed Olufumilayo for not verifying the claims before tweeting about it.

Last Tuesday, the protest against police brutality, which started as an opposition against the now-disbanded Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS) of the police, turned bloody after men in army uniform opened fire on citizens at Lekki toll gate.

If passed, the bill will legitimize the tracking and arrest of those who discuss the horrifying incident and other topics relating to the #EndSARS protest on social media.

Nigerian Shuns Pope Francis As He Urges All To #PrayforNigeria

0

O n the 26th of October, His Holiness, Pope Francis urged all on Twitter to intercede for the nation, Nigeria. He said;

“Let us pray to the Lord for Nigeria, so that every form of violence might always be avoided, in the constant search of social harmony through the promotion of justice and the common good.”

An action which could have ordinarily attracted the alignment of a good number of people turn out to be a point of opposition based on some thoughtful stands.

WHY SOCIAL MEDIA

SHUNNED POPE FRANCIS

Well, there are at least four reasons.

1.The helping hand of the Pope really hit the odd side of the people for the fact that he reportedly approved the gay marriage. according to diverse tweets, the Prayers of the Pope are of no use as they had rather find another solution than to receive prayers from “the same mouth” that “legalized gay marriage” as they conclude “we no need am”.

2. A few other put forward their stand that prayers are not needed for all that is needful at this point in time is an action put in place to “find out the root of the violence”

3. Many posed the fact that in as much as he could be considerate of others no matter their religion, he should count those with which he shares the same faith (Christianity) as a priority, as they have lots going on with them as well.

4. Some stated that other issues need to be addressed as well, issues like the killing of Biafrans, Nigeria’s disintegration and many more.

Kindly tell us how you feel appropriate or inappropriate these reactions are below.

Could there be more to these actions?
