    According to Daily Post, Wizkid described himself as “boring” in a reflection about fame, leaning into privacy and a low-drama identity rather than spectacle.

    The comment resonated because it counters the usual celebrity archetype: loud, always online, always explaining. For many fans, the “silent excellence” brand is part of Wizkid’s long-running appeal.

    It also ties to a broader shift: Nigerian A-listers increasingly curate distance—posting less, speaking selectively, and letting music carry the message.

    Social reposts repeated the line “I see myself as a boring person,” while fan coverage across platforms amplified the same quote as a personality headline.

    Echotitbits take: This is branding as personality. Watch whether the next rollout (music/feature/appearance) leans into this “quiet” positioning—or whether it’s simply a candid line that fans are over-indexing.

    According to The Punch, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) says more than 100,000 Nigerians have registered on its diaspora data-mapping portal, as it seeks more reliable population and skills data on citizens abroad.

    NiDCOM acknowledged the broader challenge of capturing accurate figures for a diaspora community estimated to be far larger than current registrations, and said the portal is designed to improve planning and engagement.

    A government-backed report on the portal’s launch said NiDCOM created the Data Mapping and Registry Portal to enhance realistic data capture for Nigerians living abroad.

    NiDCOM’s portal documentation describes the platform as a structured registry with country-specific mapping pages for diaspora communities.

    Analysis/Echotitbits take: Quality diaspora data can strengthen policy design—investment channels, diaspora bonds, consular support and targeted skills programmes. The key risk is trust: privacy protections and clear benefits for registration. Watch for incentives, data governance assurances, and evidence that registration improves services.
