Burna Boy breaks silence on protest | fab.ng

Burna Boy, a famous singer from Nigeria, has finally spoken about the big protest that happened on August 1, 2024. This protest took place all over Nigeria. Burna Boy said he doesn’t feel like fighting anymore. He explained that he lost his fighting spirit back in 2020 during ENDSARS.

On August 1, 2024, many people in Nigeria joined a protest. They called it #Endbadgovernment. This means they want to stop bad leadership in their country.

A lot of people were waiting to hear what Burna Boy thought about this protest. He used a social media platform called X (which some people might know as Twitter) to explain why he hadn’t said anything about the protest. He made it clear that he doesn’t want people to ask him to get involved.

“The fight in me died on this day. Ogun go doggy, anybody wey call my name this time around,” he wrote, highlighting an old post from 2020 where protesters refused to play his songs during the protests and chanted, “No Burna, cancelled!”

Burna Boy wrote a message on X. After people read his message, they had many different thoughts about it. Some people were upset that Burna Boy hadn’t said anything before. These people wrote comments under Burna Boy’s message. In their comments, they criticized Burna Boy for staying quiet about the protest.

An X user wrote, “Oga, shut up. Because they did you bad doesn’t mean you should give up. U taught us to keep fighting in your songs but u dey here dey cap nonsense.”

“I taught you to keep fighting your oppressors but you chose to fight me,” Burna Boy replied.

Because you wan ghost and you de call yourself African giant,” to which the singer replied, “I don’t hand over to Falz bros.”

I don hand am over to Falz bros.

After he said this, many people on X got angry with him. These people wrote messages criticizing Burna Boy. They said that Falz already had the title Burna Boy was claiming.

Falz is a rapper who makes music where he speaks words quickly to a beat. These X users felt that Burna Boy was wrong to say what he did because they believed Falz deserved the credit instead.

“What did you hand over?? Oga na Falz dey hold am before you, no hand over anything,” said a disgruntled X user.

Another person commented, “Lmfao. You didn’t hand anything over, you were just using Nigeria misery to make music and money for yourself.”

When Young Girls Sit Down And Daydream About Getting Married, I Never Did – Nancy Isime

Nancy Isime says she never daydreams about marriage | fab.ng

Nigerian actress Nancy Isime has shared her views on marriage, revealing that, unlike many young girls who dream of their weddings, she is prioritizing her career and financial independence.

The actress appeared on the Creativitea Live with Lynda podcast for a recent interview. During this interview, she discussed her aspirations. Isime centred these aspirations around work and money. She did not focus on marriage as an aspiration.

She said,

“I’ve always seen myself working. I say this to a few people but when young girls sit down and daydream about getting married, I never did.

“I used to daydream about working and making my own money and being independent; I fear that I might not even have my dream wedding because what is a dream wedding? Even if I get married, it will just be a wedding that we both agree at the same time is how we feel and where we are at. If it’s a big wedding, fine, if it’s a small wedding, whatever we feel.” Isime added.

Nancy Isime stressed a point about her current stance.

She traced this stance back to her childhood and upbringing. During those times, her family did not always have money.

She explained,

“I’ve always been that child that always saw myself having my own money. Maybe because I came from a humble background where asking for anything was almost taboo. You’re supposed to know that there is no money, so don’t ask but if we give you, take. I used to be like, ‘I can’t wait to have my own money and do my own thing.”

Isime stressed two priorities. First, she wants to make her own money. Second, she aims to provide her ideal lifestyle for herself.

She concluded, “That’s why I’m such a believer in spending on myself; I spend on myself so much that nobody can take the position of ‘if not me, you won’t have this life.'”
