This week, Shola Ogudu, Wizkid's baby mama broke the Internet when when she shared a rather heartbreaking story on her Instagram page. Read the lengthy story and chat screenshots here.
According to her story, Wizkid has been an absentee father to their 7-year old son Boluwatife, and a not so pleasant baby daddy to her.
If you cannnot read the full gist, someone made a Twitter thread highlighting the main points. Read it here.
Here's an apt summary of the gist by the way;

Wizkid needs to do better
Wizkid saying he can’t wait for the son to be 18 is funny, like you could absent in your boy’s life all through his formative years and turn up 18years later and expect him to have a relationship with you? It’s not an electric bulb switch .
— The Papi (@TheTawah_) September 20, 2018
At the end of the day. Bants aside. I hope we all agree that Wizkid needs to do better.

Bants aside, IF (emphasis on IF) Wizkid pays his child school fees, looks after him appropriately, invests his time and what not, but doesn't want anything to do with Shola, I think that is absolutely fine. You can't force yourself on someone who doesn't want you.

Nigeria Air has been suspended
About two months after unveiling Nigeria Air, the Nigerian Minister of Aviation Hadi Sirika took to Twitter on Wednesday this week to announce the suspension of the national carrier.
I regret to announce that the Federal Executive Council has taken the tough decision to suspend the National Carrier Project in the interim. All commitments due will be honoured. We thank the public for the support as always.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Fact is #NigeriaAir never existed, it was a scam.
Apart from the logo that was designed in Bahrain, let them show Nigerians any other thing about it.
N1.5bn cool cash in their accounts.

Apologies are in order
We owe you an apology, Dr. @obyezeks. At least, despite my blind faith in the ill-fated #NigeriaAir, I managed to see the validity of your pessimism.

@APCNigeria @NGRPresident all Buharists/Buharideens and #BMC should without delay issue an apology to @obyezeks on the suspension of the much vamped #NigeriaAir. She has been vindicated.

On #NigeriaAir 'suspension' by FG, anyone that insulted @obyezeks then, must apologise to her.

Some people are optimistic
I was utterly shocked about the suspension of #NigeriaAir, but I commend the sincerity of Buhari's Govt for not keeping the populace in the dark. This is a mark of integrity and a difference between this Govt and previous Govts. I hope the Govt will come back with the best plan.
— 🇳🇬Ugochi Jane🇪🇸 (@UgochiJaneTrump) September 20, 2018
Will we be happy if FG has gone ahead with #NigeriaAir and it flops? Some folks here will roll out drums to celebrate if that happens just as they killed Nigeria Airways. Baba @MBuhari saw their plans and re strategized. #leadership

I have absolutely NO REGRETS believing and praying for #NigeriaAir. Whether it materializes later or never, I won't stop being optimistic and hoping that it, like any other Nigeria project, succeeds. And, prayers are never meant to substitute required works.
May Nigeria succeed!

South Africa legalises marijuana
Meanwhile in South Africa, pro-marijauna activists were celebrating following the legalisation of growing weed for private consumption. Just so you know, "Dagga" is a South African word for weed.
South Africa's constitutional court has ruled that the private use of marijuana/weed/dagga (list is endless) is legal.
South Africans will now be able to legally smoke/ grow cannabis at home.
https://t.co/wgdRIkN9gU— Samira Sawlani (@samirasawlani) September 18, 2018
However;
Government wishes to emphasise that the sale of #Dagga is still illegal in SA. South Africans are reminded that substance abuse is dangerous & harmful to their health.

Why are we just hearing from him though?
Jimi Agbaje went into hiding for 3 solid years. Today, he wakes up and wants to contest election in 5 months. Shouldn't he have been criticising Ambode's policies all this while? Shouldn't he have been explaining in the last 3 years what he would do if elected to replace Ambode?

Someone needs to remind Jimi Agbaje that this method of waking up a few months to every election year and then announcing to run is a time-tested guaranteed way to lose the election.
You can’t practically be in political oblivion for 3 years and just assume you remain relevant.

To be honest, I don’t think Lagosians are worth the trouble. The kinds of people who Jimi Agbaje appeals to won’t go and vote, they’ll stay home and say it’s stressful and dangerous.
