2Face said, “Afrobeats can never die. If you listen to some of the young Afrobeats artists now, you will agree with me that the genre is in safe hands.

In other news… A Nigerian woman has taken to social media to express her frustration over the country’s rising cost of living, highlighting how it has impacted her personal finances.

In a heartfelt post, she said:

“We’re gradually adapting to hardship and we’re not loud about it. I no longer have savings because I have to spend for fuel. Cost of living is about to cost the living. Is this the mandate we’re supposed to blindly follow? And there’s people supporting this mandate.”
