Nigerian rap superstar Olamide Baddo has cleared up misconceptions about his personality, insisting that he is not shy.
In a recent conversation on Ada’s Room, the rapper described himself as “laid back” rather than timid.
“I wish people understood that I’m not shy; I’m simply laid back,” he explained.
When asked about the difference between being shy and laid back, Olamide clarified: “Shyness is when you lack the confidence or charisma to face people, maintain eye contact, or engage in conversations. Being laid back, on the other hand, means you just prefer not to be bothered. People assume I’m shy, but that’s not the case.”
In other news… A Nigerian pastor has ignited massive controversy online after a video of him surfaced showing him advising his church members to “go and do juju” (use charms or traditional magic) as a means of spiritual protection against bandit attacks.
Speaking during a passionate sermon, the cleric insisted that spiritual fortification was necessary, arguing he could not be the only one protected while his congregation remained vulnerable.
The pastor justified his controversial instruction by stating that prayers alone were insufficient in the face of rising insecurity.
He stated:
“My people need to strengthen themselves spiritually. I can’t be fortified alone while my members remain exposed. In moments of danger, faith must be backed with preparedness.”
He then explicitly gave the controversial instruction:
“I’m a true man of God. Go and do juju so that when they bring gun to your place, let the guns face themselves. Or use stick to pursue them. If they are coming to your church, they should die before they get there. Go and do it o. All my church members must do it if they don’t, I’ll pursue them. I can’t be fortified while my church members are not. I’m a good shepherd.”
The pastor further suggested that calling the name of Jesus during past attacks in Kaduna and elsewhere failed because “Jesus said until you get to heaven.”
The video quickly went viral, prompting intense debate on social media about the role of religious leaders and the limits of faith during a national security crisis.
