Businessman and social media personality Linus Williams, popularly known as Blord, has drawn attention after being seen in a cap linked to Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

What happened

During a visit to Kano State, reported on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, Blord was seen wearing a cap with the words 'Nigeria Must Be OK', a slogan associated with Kwankwaso, the NDC's vice-presidential candidate on Peter Obi's ticket. Many social media users took it as a possible sign of support for the Obi–Kwankwaso campaign.

Background

The appearance drew attention because Blord had earlier declared support for activist Omoyele Sowore after Sowore was released from Kuje Prison in April 2026. At the time, Blord praised Sowore for intervening in his own legal case, described himself as a member of the Revolution Now movement and was presented with a branded beret. Blord has not publicly announced any change in his political allegiance.

VeryDarkMan's elder brother, known as Macavelli, has unveiled a new home for artists signed to his record label, Velli Music Worldwide.

The video

In a video reported on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, Macavelli gave a tour of a four-bedroom property he described as the label's new home, with rooms for artists, a kitchen and space for a music studio, and said some work was still being done. He recalled that he had earlier complained about being unable to secure an apartment because of a problem with a landlord, and said the label had eventually got a larger property for the same amount.

The logo

The label's logo caught the attention of social media users because of its resemblance to the branding of Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), Davido's record label.

Background

The unveiling comes during a bitter public feud between VeryDarkMan and Davido, with the activist releasing a series of videos and recordings aimed at the singer and his associates. Some fans accused the label of using Davido's brand for attention.

VeryDarkMan (VDM) does not seem to believe in fighting fairly. When he has a disagreement with someone, he appears willing to go to any length to make his point, even if it means bringing up some of the most painful moments in that person's life.

A painful chapter

Over the years, Davido has lost several close friends and associates in tragic circumstances. Their deaths set off all kinds of rumours and conspiracy theories online.

Some people even claimed the deaths were connected to rituals or sacrifices for fame and success. None of those claims was ever proven, and there is no credible evidence linking Davido to any of their deaths.

Imagine losing people who were very close to you, only to have strangers turn their deaths into accusations against you. Davido has lived with those memories for years. He has carried on with his music career, built his family and moved forward with his life, but moving forward does not mean the pain has disappeared.

Reopening old wounds

Now, amid his ongoing disagreement with Davido, VDM has reportedly brought those painful memories back into public discussion. This is where things appear to be getting out of hand.

You can criticise Davido's music, lifestyle, public statements or behaviour. You can disagree with him and challenge his opinions. That is perfectly normal. But bringing up the deaths of his close friends because of a disagreement raises serious questions.

What exactly is the intention? Is it to expose wrongdoing, to make a legitimate point, or simply to hurt someone where he is most vulnerable?

Where are the limits?

VDM has built a reputation for confronting people without holding back, and his supporters may argue he is only giving his opponents the same treatment they give others. But surely there should be limits.

Davido is not above criticism, and neither is VeryDarkMan. Both are public figures who should be held accountable for their actions. Using someone's personal tragedies as ammunition in a public quarrel, however, is something else entirely.

There are some experiences people never fully recover from. They may laugh and smile in public, but that does not mean they have forgotten. If winning an argument requires reopening another person's deepest wounds, perhaps the argument has already gone too far.

Over to you

People say all is fair in love and war, but does that mean we should abandon all compassion when we disagree with someone? Has VDM crossed the line with Davido, or is this just two public figures fighting without limits?

The Senate has set aside ₦100 million for the Flamingos, Nigeria's under-17 women's football team, after their victory at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

What happened

Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the reward during plenary on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, as the chamber considered a congratulatory motion moved by Senator Abdul Ningi of the ADC, who represents Bauchi Central. Ningi described the team's win as historic, saying the young players had achieved what many senior national teams had not, despite going into the tournament with little public attention. He said the players deserved far more publicity and a proper reception on their return.

Background

The Flamingos beat Japan 2-1 in the final in Rabat, Morocco, on 7 November to become the first African team to win the tournament, and Nigeria's first FIFA world champions in women's football at any level. FIFA does not pay prize money for the competition, but a sponsor of the National Sports Commission gave the team $50,000 in Rabat. NDC candidate Peter Obi said NFF officials stopped him from greeting the team at Abuja airport, a claim the Presidency said politicised the national teams.
