Amidst the controversy surrounding the 66th Grammys, where all Nigerian nominees were overlooked and Tyla emerged as the winner in the inaugural Best African Music Performance category, some Nigerians accused the Grammy organizers of bias.

In a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos, Timaya expressed his opinion that Nigerian awards are even less credible than the Grammys.

When asked about the sentiment that Grammy exploited Afrobeats and the need for Nigerian artists to focus on local growth, Timaya responded, “We don’t need to come back home. Even our own, which credible awards? Is it the Hip-hop awards, Hip TV awards [The Headies]? I don’t even know. They are not credible either. They are even worse than the Grammys.”

He emphasized the importance of having a credible homegrown award that would attract artists. Despite the setbacks faced by Nigerian artists at the Grammys, Timaya remained resolute, asserting, “If we have a homegrown award that is credible, people would gravitate towards it. But for now, whether you like it or not, Grammy is still Grammy. We don’t have to back down [because Nigerian artists lost this year]. We are going again.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has assured citizens that the federal government will soon overcome the nation’s security challenges through a renewed, proactive strategy by security forces.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking in support of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, Akpabio emphasized that safety is vital for economic growth, noting that no local business or foreign investor can thrive in an atmosphere of chaos.

Key highlights from his address include:

  • Collective Responsibility: Akpabio stressed that military hardware alone cannot end criminality, urging citizens to partner with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence.

  • Economic and Banking Resilience: He declared that Nigeria’s banking sector has shifted from survival to absolute dominance, becoming one of the safest and most technologically advanced in Africa.

  • Reforms Yielding Results: He credited ongoing bank recapitalisation and financial reforms for ending the era where banks could suddenly collapse and cause depositors to lose their savings.

Ultimately, the Senate President maintained that a combination of proactive security operations, economic reforms, and civic cooperation will drive Nigeria’s path toward lasting recovery and national development.
