  • Influencer LazyWrita’s Final Instagram Note Sparks Tributes and Mental-Health Talk

    Influencer LazyWrita’s Final Instagram Note Sparks Tributes and Mental-Health Talk

    2025-12-30 12:00:00
    According to People, Nigerian influencer Anda “LazyWrita” Damisa was reported dead after a final Instagram message that included a plea to followers not to cry for him.
    The post’s tone and timing triggered an immediate wave of tributes and debate across Nigerian social media, with many users calling for deeper mental-health conversations.
    As screenshots circulated widely, reputable outlets leaned on the post itself and follow-up reporting rather than speculation about circumstances.

    Related coverage repeating the same screenshots and message includes Linda Ikeji Blog: “Don’t cry for me please o…” alongside People’s reporting: “Don’t cry for me please…”.

    Echotitbits take:
    This is a sensitive story that should be handled without sensationalism. The bigger issue is mental health and community support—watch for any official family/friend confirmations and for credible initiatives that push resources, not gossip.

  • Sophia Momodu Asks Fans to Stop Calling Her Davido’s Wife

    Sophia Momodu Asks Fans to Stop Calling Her Davido’s Wife

    2025-12-30 13:00:00
    Figures and screenshots cited by Vanguard show Sophia Momodu cautioning fans and content creators against referring to her as Davido’s wife, stressing that the label is inaccurate.
    The message has gained traction because it touches a recurring issue in celebrity culture: how audiences define women through their ties to male stars, regardless of legal reality.
    Reactions online are split between supporters praising boundary-setting and fans who continue to push relationship narratives.

    Parallel posts carrying the same line include Nigerian Tribune (Facebook): “I’m not Davido’s wife…” and AmonPoint (blog): “Respect my journey—I’m not Davido’s wife.”

    Echotitbits take:
    This is identity and brand control. Watch for whether she expands the statement, whether fan pages adjust captions, and how it shapes future coverage of her appearances and business moves.

    According to Pulse Nigeria, Carter Efe’s Twitch run sparked major chatter online—big numbers, big attention, and then immediate concerns about platform enforcement after the moment went mainstream.

    The broader takeaway is that Nigerian creators are testing new global spaces, but the learning curve is steep when local comedy/streaming styles meet strict policy systems.

    • Punch (website): “Twitch bans Carter Efe after record 83k viewers.”
    • Legit.ng (website): “Twitch bans Carter Efe …”

    Echotitbits take: This is a preview of the next creator wave beyond Instagram and TikTok. Watch whether Carter Efe returns with a more policy-safe format, whether brands get involved, and whether more Nigerian creators build teams to keep livestreaming compliant and consistent.

    Figures and scenes highlighted by GoldMyne TV suggest Lagos has entered full Detty December mode—packed venues, celebrity drop-ins, and nonstop event calendars driving the city’s nightlife narrative.

    The season is being framed as a magnet for artists, influencers, and diaspora returnees, turning everyday club appearances into headline moments.

    It also carries an economic angle: hotels, lounges, transport, and event brands typically see a surge when the celebrity circuit concentrates in one city.

    VG (AFP-backed) (News site) also echoed the same development, noting: “an extravagant month-long party season” (https://www.vanguardngr.com/). GoldMyne TV (Entertainment outlet) also echoed the same development, noting: “A-list Stars Storm Lagos for Detty December” (https://www.goldmyne.tv/a-list-stars-storm-lagos-for-detty-december/).

    Echotitbits take: Detty December has become a cultural export product—part tourism strategy, part creator economy. What to watch: whether Lagos can sustain the draw without security, traffic, and pricing backlash that could eventually deter visitors and local participation.
