Don’t play with me,” he added. Apparently, according to Davido, helping people is good, but make sure you have evidence to show for it.

WHATSAPP TO START CHARGING NIGERIA BUSINESSES FROM OCTOBER 2026

Image
Businesses using Meta’s WhatsApp Business Platform will begin paying for certain customer messages from October 1, 2026, following a new pricing structure announced by the company. The new policy applies primarily to organisations that use the WhatsApp Business Platform, formerly known as the WhatsApp Business API, to handle customer communications at scale. However, regular WhatsApp users and small businesses using the standard WhatsApp Business app are not the primary targets of the new charges.

Image
Media personality Dior Adiele has opened up about her childhood tra¥ma, revealing that she was ab¥sed on several occasions between the ages of six and 13 by three different uncles during a recent episode of Talk to B podcast According to her, growing up in a typical Igbo home, her brother was given more freedom because he was considered the heir, while she was often confined to the house by her parents. She explained that the restrictions her parents imposed in an attempt to protect her ultimately exposed her to abuse within the home. “Imagine being locked in a four-bedroom flat, and the things that they thought they were protecting me from by not letting me go out to play now started to happen to me inside the house, like right under their noses.
