    Alex Ekubo’s Surprise Party Sighting Ends Months-Long Social Media Silence

    Fans of Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo are breathing easier after colleague IK Ogbonna shared a rare video of him at a party, months after Ekubo quietly disappeared from social media.

    In the short clip, Ogbonna records himself at an event before turning the camera to reveal Alex sitting beside him. The actor smiles when he realises he is on camera and the playful moment quickly went viral, with fans expressing relief and excitement in the comments.

    Alex had stepped away from online platforms without any detailed explanation, which led to constant questions from his followers. His surprise appearance has now been taken as a reassuring hint that he is fine and living low key away from social media pressure.

    Under the reposted video, users dropped messages such as “We missed you, chief” and “King is back, even if it is soft launch.” Many are now calling on the actor to return fully to Instagram and reclaim his spot on Nollywood’s playful side of the internet.

    Davido’s New Catchphrase After Burna Boy ‘Sleeping Fans’ Drama

    There is a fresh catchphrase trending in Nigerian pop culture and, as usual, Davido is at the centre of it.

    Shortly after reports that Burna Boy allegedly ordered sleepy concert goers to leave his show, Davido shared a playful new line on social media. He did not mention any names, but fans immediately linked the timing to the viral sleeping fans story and turned the phrase into instant meme material.

    Across Instagram, X and TikTok, users remixed the catchphrase into skits, captions and freestyles. Some interpreted it as gentle shade aimed at Burna Boy, while others treated it as harmless banter in the long-running rivalry between different fan bases.

    Comment sections lit up with jokes and hot takes as people updated their imaginary scoreboards for subtle jabs. Whether the moment fades quietly or fuels a fresh round of stan wars, one thing is obvious: Naija pop culture does not sleep, even when some concert goers allegedly do.

    Burna Boy’s Orlando Show Cancellation Sparks Health Concerns Online

    Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has once again become the centre of social media conversation after a video of him receiving medical treatment surfaced online. Fans shared the clip across Instagram and X, claiming he has been unwell for a while even as he tried to keep up with his United States tour dates.

    The viral video shows the Grammy award winner lying down while hooked up for treatment. Comment sections quickly filled with prayers and well wishes, while others questioned whether his team should have forced a longer break much earlier in the tour.

    Online, the discussion has shifted from show refunds to the intense pressure that comes with global touring. Some fans are urging the singer to prioritise his health over December performances, while others insist they would rather wait for a fully healthy Burna Boy than see him pushing through illness on stage.

    As at the time of this report, there has been no detailed statement beyond confirmation that the Orlando concert was cancelled, but the video has intensified calls for the African Giant to slow down and reset.
