Eedris Abdulkareem, the veteran Nigerian rapper known for his outspoken nature and fearless demeanor, has stepped forward to expose what he perceives as a grave betrayal by his senior colleague, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy.
In a candid interview snippet from an upcoming episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Abdulkareem opened up about his disillusionment with Charly Boy, accusing him of breaching their trust when it came to financial matters.
The ‘Jaga Jaga’ crooner, who had battled and overcome kidney disease in 2022, revealed with palpable frustration that Charly Boy’s actions had left him feeling betrayed and disheartened.
“Charly Boy is not a man of integrity as far as money is involved,” Abdulkareem declared, his voice tinged with anger and disappointment. “He sold me out. When was the last time you heard ‘I’m batified, it is on your mandate I stand’? People are suffering, even the Yoruba who are shouting Emilokan.”
The revelation sent shockwaves through the music industry, prompting speculation and debate among fans and industry insiders alike. For many, Charly Boy’s image as a maverick and rebel had been tarnished by Abdulkareem’s damning accusations.
Charly Boy, renowned for his flamboyant persona and outspoken activism, has yet to respond publicly to Abdulkareem’s claims, leaving many to wonder about the veracity of the allegations and the implications for their longstanding friendship and professional relationship.
As the controversy continues to unfold, the music community grapples with the fallout of this revelation, confronting uncomfortable truths about trust, integrity, and loyalty in an industry where appearances can often be deceiving.
For Eedris Abdulkareem, the journey forward may be fraught with uncertainty, but his decision to speak out has ignited a long-overdue conversation about the darker side of fame and fortune in Nigeria’s music scene. As the dust settles, one thing remains clear: the bonds of trust that once united these two icons may never be the same again.
Nigeria’s U-17 women’s national team, the Flamingos, revived their 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup campaign with a 2-0 victory over Puerto Rico in their second Group B match in Morocco on Tuesday night, October 20.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Oluwakemi Adegbuyi opened the scoring in the 25th minute, while substitute Precious Oscar sealed the victory with a second goal in the 93rd minute at the Mohammed VI Football Complex.
The victory earned Nigeria their first three points of the tournament following their 2-1 loss to Poland in their opening fixture on Saturday.
Head coach Akeem Busari made tactical changes to improve the team’s midfield control and defensive organisation, helping the Flamingos maintain their advantage against tournament debutants Puerto Rico.
Nigeria took the lead through Adegbuyi after applying early pressure and continued to frustrate their opponents with disciplined defending and effective pressing.
The Flamingos limited Puerto Rico’s attacking opportunities throughout the encounter before Oscar found the net in stoppage time to confirm the win.
Speaking after the match, Busari described the encounter as a difficult contest, noting that both teams understood the importance of securing a positive result.
“It was a strong win because Puerto Rico knew it was a game that would decide their fate, so it was a very tough game for both sides. We were unable to convert our chances in the first half. Fortunately, we got the second goal towards the tail end of the second half, but it was a very rough game. They are not pushovers,” he said.
The coach also commended his players for showing greater composure following their opening defeat to Poland, stressing the importance of mental preparation in helping the young team recover from setbacks.
Busari explained that counselling and psychological support were essential in helping the players regain confidence and approach their second match with a better mindset.
“As a handler, when you are down, you look at it and think, how do you come back? It’s all about psyching, and these are young players, so all they need is counselling and what to do. Today, they were exceptional; they were calmer than in the Poland game,” he said.
The result leaves Nigeria with three points from two matches ahead of their final Group B fixture against group leaders DPR Korea on Friday, October 23.
DPR Korea secured qualification for the knockout stage after recording a commanding 6-1 victory over Poland earlier on Tuesday, leaving the Flamingos needing another strong performance in their final group match to strengthen their chances of progressing in the competition.
The remains of former Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, arrived in the state on Tuesday as political leaders and other prominent figures continued to pay tribute to the late politician.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, and his wife, Tobore, joined members of the Uduaghan family to receive the body at Osubi Airport in Okpe Local Government Area.
Following the arrival, the governor and his wife visited the deceased’s residence in Warri, where they offered condolences to his widow, Deaconess Roli Uduaghan.
Oborevwori, who described the late politician as his former boss, recalled the support he received from Uduaghan during his political career, including his appointment as one of his special advisers in 2007.
The governor also praised Uduaghan for his contributions to the development of Delta State, particularly his role in the establishment of the Asaba International Airport.
Paying tribute to the former governor, Oborevwori described him as a calm, articulate and reserved leader whose contributions to the state would not be forgotten.
“He contributed immensely to the development of Delta State, most especially the Asaba International Airport. He was a man of few words. He was very articulate, calm. He has gone, but he can never be forgotten by Deltans,” the governor said.
Uduaghan died at the age of 71. His death was announced on Monday by his son, Toju.
The late politician governed Delta State from 2007 to 2015. Before becoming governor, he served as Commissioner for Health and Secretary to the State Government under the administration of former Governor James Ibori.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed that security operatives have arrested suspects allegedly involved in a plot to attack its temporary election workers, particularly members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), ahead of the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan (SAN), revealed this in Enugu, adding that the suspects would soon be arraigned in court.
According to the commission’s Daily Bulletin, Amupitan made the disclosure during the South-East Zonal Interactive Meeting with Staff and Readiness Assessment for the 2027 elections.
The INEC chairman said the commission had recently received information about threats to the safety of its ad hoc election personnel, many of whom are NYSC members deployed to support electoral activities.
He disclosed that the Department of State Services (DSS) had uncovered the alleged plot and arrested those suspected of being involved. He added that the commission was taking steps to protect its temporary workers from potential attacks.
Amupitan also announced plans to convene a security conference soon to address broader concerns surrounding the protection of voters, electoral officials and election materials during the polls.
On preparations for the 2027 elections, the INEC chairman said the commission had strengthened its collaboration with the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security.
He explained that the commission was working with security agencies at both national and state levels, using its Election Risk Management tools to develop what he described as a robust, intelligence-driven security framework.
Amupitan identified declining public trust, voter apathy, and the growing spread of misinformation and disinformation as some of the major challenges confronting the electoral body.
He warned that the rapid spread of false information in the digital era could undermine public confidence in the electoral process.
“A single malicious fake news post, an unverified rumour, or a deepfake video can travel across millions of screens in seconds,” he said.
According to him, such misleading narratives can gain credibility when the commission fails to communicate effectively or perform its responsibilities adequately, placing additional pressure on officials working in the field.
He stressed that the conduct, competence and integrity of electoral personnel would play a crucial role in countering misinformation and protecting the credibility of the elections.
“The conduct, competence, and character of our staff in the field are either our strongest defence against fake news, or its biggest catalyst,” Amupitan stated.
He said INEC would tackle the challenge through proactive transparency, prompt official communication and strict operational standards at polling units across the country.
The chairman also warned electoral officials against compromising their duties, insisting that anyone found engaging in misconduct would face appropriate sanctions.
“Partisan leaning, administrative negligence, extortion, or compromised ethics will not be tolerated under my leadership,” he warned.
Amupitan further reminded staff that Section 26 of the Electoral Act 2026 requires electoral officials, including electoral officers, presiding officers, returning officers and security personnel assigned to election duties, to swear an oath of loyalty and neutrality.
He urged them to ensure that all decisions taken in the course of their duties were guided by the law rather than personal interests or political considerations.
“The question governing your actions must never be ‘Who will benefit from this decision?’ The question must always be ‘What does the law require me to do?’” he added.
