IPOB issues warning to Deputy Reps Speaker, Kalu

Latest entertainment gist

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has warned the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, to stop using the name of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu to for his political interests.

IPOB said Kalu should stop deceiving Nigerians about agitating for Kanu’s release.

The deputy speaker cautioned that the South-East could not pressure the Federal Government to release Kanu by implementing the sit-at-home exercise.

However, in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Wednesday, IPOB said Kalu was only using Kanu for his selfish interests.

Parts of the statement read:

“The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our supreme leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU has been drawn to the continuous and frequent use of IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s ordeal to pursue his political interest by the Deputy Speaker House of Representative Hon. Benjamin Kalu, which has no result. He should stop deceiving the public with the persecution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“We advise Hon. Benjamin Kalu to refrain from using IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s political persecution for his selfish political interest. We have gone past the stage of political games and gimmicks.

“Hon. Benjamin Kalu has constantly been on the print and social media, claiming to work hard for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“IPOB, ESN, and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have become a daily song for the APC stooges and political jobbers who do not have any genuine interest in the IPOB struggle nor on the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Federal government’s persecution and illegal detention. Hon. Kalu has found something of relevance to keep making headlines on the pages of Nigerian newspapers.

“We wish to let him know that we are aware of his antics and gimmicks towards Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.

“It is pathetic that some self-serving Igbo politicians are bent on destroying IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, while other politicians from other zones are empowering their political agitation groups even terrorist groups used to overrun and conquer territories for their purposes.

“If not for IPOB, ESN, and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, many Southeastern villages would have been occupied by terrorists.”

“My dad Wizkid is not the one begging for pussy” — Son

Latest entertainment gist

When it comes to savage responses, the Baloguns specifically those related to Wizkid by blood, are not to be trifled with and being Davido does not save you from such.

In a recent social media exchange, 13-year-old Boluwatife Balogun, the eldest son of renowned Nigerian artiste Wizkid, threw some savage response at his father’s rival, David Adeleke following their online spat.

Facing some online banter from a Davido fan, Boluwatife Balogun came to his father’s defense rather than keep mute.

The ongoing rivalry between Wizkid and Davido escalated in recent days, with both artistes engaging in public spats and trading insults online. Davido, responding to Wizkid’s jibes, took aim at Wizkid’s physical stature, claiming that Wizkid is so short that he wears size 7 shoes and jokingly suggesting he shops at Footlocker Kids.

Some individuals on social media supported Davido’s claims by sharing photos purportedly showing Wizkid wearing shoes matching his son Bolu’s shoe size.

Davido further escalated the feud by disparaging Wizkid’s music, boasting about his own hits, and challenging Wizkid to release new music simultaneously. He also ridiculed Wizkid’s height, suggesting that despite his own short stature, Wizkid is even shorter.

A Davido fan, seizing the opportunity to taunt Wizkid’s family, commented on Boluwatife Balogun’s TikTok page, asking if it was true that both Bolu and his father wear the same shoe size.

Bolu promptly responded to the taunt, defending his father by highlighting Wizkid’s character and integrity, asserting that despite any jokes about shoe sizes, his father doesn’t stoop to begging for attention or engaging in inappropriate behavior.
