Osun rerun
Following the inconclusive results for Osun state’s gubernatorial election last week, a rerun was scheduled for yesterday September 27, 2018.
Here are a few reactions to the activities of the elections on social media.

By the way, my NEXT-FLAT NEIGHBOR voted at the PU in Osogbo today. He tells me he doesn’t understand why their PU was canceled last Saturday because all went well and there was no electoral malpractice.

Is this a democracy?
I have never been this hurt, cheated or insulted before in my life like Buhari and APC did to me with this #OsunRerun …I am not from osun but I am a Nigerian… @inecnigeria I don't even have what to tell u yet…

Under @GEJonathan regime!
Labour party won Ondo!
Apga won in Imo!

APC won in Osun!
APC won 2015 electionPDP lost most states to opposition due to free & fair elections enjoyed in his regime.

@inecnigeria , your actions for Osun elections has proved with many evidences especially from our international observers that the last time 🇳🇬 observed free and fair election was in 2015. One day, inec Chairman will be called to defend his notorious actions!
— Emmy James (@OyinkuroJames) September 28, 2018
What were you expecting?
Lets be frank with ourselves for once… Would PDP allow APC to win Osun elections if they were 2 be in control of power from the top?
We grew up seeing PDP rig elections in daylight, it annoys me when they cry now uselessly. 'What goes around comes around'.#OsunDecides2018— Ahmad sani okaba (@Ahmad_sani_Okab) September 28, 2018
Imagine if Adeleke won the election. Professors were actually collating votes for someone who doesn't even have an O-level certificate. And they'll come and say education is the key to the future. #OsunRerun

Why is Davido constituting nuisance and posting #FakeNews on the #OsunReRun? I’m very sure he does not even have a PVC.

I think too much bragging led to the downfall of the Adelekes
The election have not been concluded and everywhere is filled with the praises of how Davido single handedly won Buhari
An Ego felt Assualted!
That's why the APC went all out to ensure victory in the #osunrerun

Can’t help feeling people of Osun have lost regardless of results.
Election is just a political point. None of these guys have thought deeply about how to fix horrible finances.

Let’s talk about it!
Last week, Wizkid was trending on social media following his baby mama’s stories about him being a “deadbeat father”.
This week, the ace Nigerian musician was trending again. This time, because Osagie Alonge (Osagz) Editor-in-Chief at Pulse — alongside his co-hosts on their controversial podcast Loosetalk — said some controversial things about Wizkid and his lifestyle.
The original podcast was taken down due to death threats.
Wizkid FC is the best, we re militants.
Osagz don succumb,oloriburuku somebody pic.twitter.com/dZ2rKN4YXN— ZEUS (@itzbasito) September 25, 2018
Listen to the edited version here.
Here’s an excerpt of the gist;
– ICYMI – Here is the #thread about the shocking things Osagz – @OsaGz said about wizkid .

— SubDeliveryZone (@SubDeliveryZone) September 25, 2018
Listen to the rest here. Someone made a thread of the highlights of the original podcast, read it here.
Now, to reactions
Shame!
Osagz and his unprofessional overzealous peeps accused Wizkid of being a drug addict, diverting label funds, said Wizkid is curse, Teni shouldn't be singing because "she doesn't have the looks". How can you say all these about a person you don't even know? This is madness.
— World Publicist (@IsimaOdeh) September 25, 2018
Osagz called Sunday Are wizkid's manager an "old timer who cant keep up with the pace" but look wiz is the pace setter 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 your fav is struggling to catch up with him, whatever wiz does they do too, it's like God blessed that osagz with more pimples than brain 😂
— Legendarytomiwa (@legendarytomiwa) September 25, 2018
He was once a rapper
He was a failed musician
He is saying we wizkid fans don’t think
The whole thinking he has been doing in his over 36 years on earth why can’t he use it to succeed
Writing is effortlessly zero
Creativity is not even debatable
This osagz is zero
— Detolah Spartan (@dettolah) September 24, 2018
Maleek Berry, Willy Bangs, Wande Coal, Rotimi, Piper, and co are all cool with Wiz. Willy Bangs even lives with him yet Osagz claims he doesn't care about his day 1s. 😂😂. Man the length people will go to discredit you just out of pure hate 😂🤦🏿
— Skinny Bad Guy⬆ (@FatBoyIrony) September 25, 2018
Say it!
Osagz is dropping major tea. Somebody protect this guy! I dey fear for him, Wizkid stans are not normal people o.
— Wᴏʟᴇ́ (@Kingwole) September 24, 2018
I actually liked the fact that Osagz called out wizkid and didn’t bite his tongue.
However I don’t like how he deleted the podcast after barely 24 hours.
Keep the same energy and leave the podcast there
— JAGS (@EtniesJags) September 25, 2018
Osagz is genuinely concerned, this is NOT beef.
— Sharee ™ (@Shareee) September 24, 2018
Irrespective of what @osagz said….. People like him are important in this industry…. Point a trash when you see one!. Wizkid fucked up!! #protectosagz
— Ola Prince (@olaprimeprince) September 25, 2018
Lies!
Osagz is looking for serious trouble. Funny it's only wizkid that still has everyone he mentioned in his first album around him. So the hatred is just because he has refused to lick y'all ass
— OmOtOlA (@horrmmotola) September 24, 2018
Osagz is making too many invalid points rotimi willybang lives in wizkid’s house… I think it’s more personal than facts for osagz sha #LooseTalkPodcast
— AYODEJI (@AyodejiAyd) September 24, 2018
Wizkid's day one friends
Rotimi – STARBOY staff, lives with him.
Willybang – Terri's manager
Mutay – STARBOY President
Piper – lived with him, still speak to each other.
He reconciled with colleagues he had issues with.
Osagz, are the friends you said he abandoned spirits?

It’s obviously all for some clout
Listening to this Osagz "hate talks" about Wizkid on the Loose talk podcast and all I can say is "He who builds his brand on controversy will have to do more controversy to stay relevant".
— Kay Baba (@datGuyKOFO) September 25, 2018
Osagz actually said Wizkid talent has dwindled and he hasn't ascended to become the megastar he is supposed to be.. 😂😂. Osagz there is journalism and there is stupidity. Who is bigger than Wizkid in Africa?. Who has released more diverse records than him over the last few yrs?
— Skinny Bad Guy⬆ (@FatBoyIrony) September 25, 2018
You'd hate and bash Osagz all you want and it'd only make his bank account grow bigger. Wizkid and any other celebrity is fair target for his loose talk/gossip.
Linda Ikeji used the same format. She goes at your favorite celeb, your anger fuels her traffic/bank account.
— Kelvin Odanz (@Kelvin_Odanz) September 25, 2018
Teni slander
Gist that Osagz said that talented Nigerian artiste Teni lacks the “looks” suitable for the music industry was making rounds on social media. However;
You are misleading people with this tweet.
Osagz said people in the industry have told him that Teni's looks will make it hard for her.
He used Sasha P and Ester dean as examples. https://t.co/klRIUiZPEi— Serious Bants 🇳🇬 (@Xcel_101) September 25, 2018

I dare Osagz & Co to talk about Cultism in the Nigerian Music Industry. Call out Artiste's with your chest & drag them. If you really love the music industry then talk about this too.

At the end of the day, Osagz said his opinion, wrong or right, agree or disagree, the podcast is still very integral to the culture.
— Mayowa Balogun (@Sweeegu) September 25, 2018
Osagz spent half of the podcast shouting ‘Let’s talk about it’ if we are being honest
