  • Kunle Kuti says Wizkid is the only artiste he ever “begged” to meet — amid the Seun/Wizkid-fandom firestorm

    Kunle Kuti says Wizkid is the only artiste he ever “begged” to meet — amid the Seun/Wizkid-fandom firestorm

    According to TheCable Lifestyle, Kunle Kuti said Wizkid is the only artiste he has ever begged to meet, adding fresh fuel to a story already charged by the Seun Kuti vs Wizkid-fanbase clash. His comments are landing because they cut against the binary “legacy vs popstar” framing—showing admiration for Wizkid while still insisting that comparisons to Fela are misplaced.

    Echotitbits take: This is a temperature check for how Nigerians handle legacy debates in the era of stan culture. If more Kuti-family voices weigh in—or Wizkid responds again—the discourse could shift from fandom wars to a broader cultural-history argument.

    Documents reviewed by TheCable indicate the SEC will begin electronic receipt and processing of applications in Q1 2026 as it enforces a January renewal deadline for market operators.

    The shift is expected to reduce manual bottlenecks, shorten processing timelines, and improve transparency for regulated firms.

    If successful, the change could improve investor confidence by making compliance more predictable and less relationship-driven.

    TheCable reported SEC will commence “electronic receipt and processing of applications” in Q1 2026. BusinessDay reinforced the renewal timeline, stating operators should renew “from January 1 to 31, 2026.”

    Echotitbits take: Nigeria’s capital market needs both speed and trust. Watch for portal launch dates, clear fees, and published service-level timelines that reduce discretionary delays.
