DAVIDO REACTS
🚨 Nationwide Outrage
Davido Blasts Igbinedion School Bullies as “Fucking Animals” — Students Expelled, Edo Police Open Probe
Afrobeats superstar Davido has joined a torrent of national fury after a deeply disturbing bullying video went viral showing two male students of Igbinedion Education Centre in Benin City, Edo State, repeatedly beating, kicking, and stamping on a defenceless classmate. The footage — which started circulating Friday 13 March — shows the victim being flogged, kicked in the stomach, slammed to the ground, and stamped on his head and ribs while a third student filmed the attack. Davido reacted on X on Sunday with the now-viral phrase: “Fucking Animals… so disgusting.” By Sunday 15 March, the Edo State Police Command had launched a formal investigation, the school confirmed expulsions of the perpetrators, and a government committee had begun probing the school’s supervision protocols. Multiple other celebrities, parents, and civil society groups are calling for mandatory anti-bullying legislation in Nigeria’s private schools.

Broda Shaggy × Dorathy Bachor · #ShaggDor2026
The Plot Twist of 2026: Broda Shaggy Had Just Gone Public With Dorathy Bachor Days Before He Was Shot
Days before comedian Samuel Perry (Broda Shaggy) was hospitalised after a gunshot injury during a skit production in Ogun State, he had sent Nigerian social media into a full romantic frenzy by publicly declaring BBNaija star Dorathy Bachor as his “missing rib.” Writing on Instagram with the now-viral hashtag #ShaggDor2026, Shaggy revealed that from the very first time he saw her, something in his heart knew she was the one — and announced their relationship would be made official “this Saturday.” Dorathy responded in the comments calling him “mi Amor.” The couple’s love story, combined with the shock of the Friday shooting, has made #ShaggDor2026 the number one trending topic on X Nigeria this weekend. Sunday update: Broda Shaggy is reportedly recovering. Ogun Police have initiated formal investigations into the shooting circumstances.
Bambam × Teddy A · Marriage Crisis
Bambam Drops Teddy A’s Surname in Movie Credits — Marriage Crisis Enters Explosive New Chapter
Actress Bambam (Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan) was recently spotted credited in a movie cast list simply as Oluwabamike Olawunmi — conspicuously omitting the Adenibuyan surname from husband Teddy A. The separation rumours have been building since December 2025, fuelled by solo Christmas posts, mutual Instagram unfollows, separate Valentine’s Day posts, and Teddy A’s International Women’s Day tribute that listed daughters and mother but excluded Bambam. The actress has not directly addressed the rumours but shared a Viola Davis quote about a woman’s inherent self-worth on her Stories.
