Renowned music producer and entrepreneur, Don Jazzy, recently sparked a conversation on social media when he stated that DNA tests are more important than naming ceremonies.

In a tweet, Don Jazzy emphasized the significance of DNA tests in establishing paternity and ensuring that children are raised by their biological fathers. He argued that this is more crucial than the traditional naming ceremony, which is a significant cultural practice in many African societies.

Don Jazzy’s statement generated a lot of debate and discussion on social media, with some people agreeing with his views and others opposing them.

Those who supported Don Jazzy’s statement argued that DNA tests are essential in preventing cases of paternity fraud and ensuring that children receive the correct genetic and medical information.

On the other hand, those who opposed Don Jazzy’s statement argued that naming ceremonies are an important part of African cultural heritage and should not be diminished or replaced by DNA tests.

They also pointed out that DNA tests are not foolproof and can be inconclusive or inaccurate in some cases.

The conversation sparked by Don Jazzy’s statement highlights the complexities and nuances of cultural traditions and modern technology.

While DNA tests can provide valuable information about paternity and genetic heritage, they should not be seen as a replacement for cultural traditions and practices that hold significant meaning and value for communities.

Ultimately, the decision to undergo a DNA test or participate in a naming ceremony should be based on individual circumstances and choices, rather than a blanket statement or cultural expectation.

Don Jazzy’s statement has sparked an important conversation about the intersection of technology, culture, and identity.

Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, one-half of the popular Nigerian music duo P-Square, has responded to allegations of song theft made by his twin brother and former bandmate, Paul Okoye, who goes by the stage name Rudeboy.

Rudeboy recently accused Mr P of taking a song he claims to have written, titled Winning.

“For the record, ‘Winning’ was written and composed by @calypso60music and myself. Produced by @iam_vampire_official and co-produced by @goldswarm. They all deserve their Credit. And I appreciate them.”

He continued, “Just As I said in my open letter three months ago, ‘Allow me to do my music in peace.’ Now that I have a new single out, please allow me to enjoy my new single, WINNING, in peace. Enough of the negativity! ‘Winning’ is out on all music platforms; continue streaming and don’t get distracted. Love y’all, peace.”

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has given reasons for re-arresting controversial crossdresser Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, known as Bobrisky.

Speaking in a telephone conversation on Friday morning, the EFCC spokesman, Mr Dele Oyewale, said the self-styled ‘Mummy of Lagos’ was arrested because he refused to honour several invitations sent to him.

Oyewale noted that the crossdresser was arrested in connection with the allegation of bribery against him.

“We arrested him last night and we took him to Abuja because our team investigators are in Abuja,” the EFCC spokesman said.

He continued: “He was trying to run away from mentioning those he said collected bribes from him. We sent him an invitation, but he refused to honour our invitation, and he was trying to leave the country.

“This was why we arrested him. We want him to come and mention the names of the officials involved in the bribery, but he has not shown up.”

The Guardian gathered Friday afternoon that Bobrisky has been flown to Abuja to answer questions relating to allegations of bribery and corruption.

Bobrisky was stopped and removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and detained by immigration officers late Thursday night while attempting to leave the country for London, the United Kingdom.

The popular crossdresser posted on his Instagram page to alert followers about the arrest, stating that he had sustained injuries during an altercation with the immigration officers.

Bobrisky alleged that the EFCC was responsible for his detention.

He wrote, “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”

Bobrisky had, in a voice note shared by a controversial social critic, Martins Otse (aka VeryDarkMan) allegedly said he bribed EFCC officers with N15 million to drop money laundering charges against him.

Although the EFCC denied the allegations, it set up a committee to investigate the matter.

At a press briefing on Thursday, the Director of Public Affairs, Wilson Uwajaren, had hinted that Bobrisky could face a fresh charge from the commission if the allegations against the EFCC were false.

Uwujaren stated that one could be charged for giving false information to the EFCC, let alone making false allegations against the commission.
