Dele Blacko Set to Uplift Souls with Upcoming EP Ojumo Ire

Published

on

Veteran gospel juju maestro Dele Ajayi, popularly known as Dele Blacko, is gearing up to release his much-anticipated EP Ojumo Ire — a project that promises to be a soulful blend of rhythm, faith, and celebration. The new body of work will feature collaborations with renowned Nigerian gospel powerhouses Dare Melody and Segun Ajidara, marking yet another milestone in Blacko’s illustrious 35-year career.

Born in Iyin Ekiti, Ekiti State and raised in Lagos, Blacko’s journey into music was shaped early in life. Coming from a family of six, he discovered his calling in the church, leading choirs and producing music from as young as 14. His influences read like a hall of fame of African music legends — from King Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey to Fela Kuti and Haruna Ishola.

“Music is a natural gift from God to me,” Blacko says. “Growing up in church taught me discipline and the power of music to touch hearts. That’s why I’ve stayed true to my calling.”

After years of living and working in Canada, where he further expanded his craft, Blacko made the decision to return to Nigeria, a move he describes as divinely inspired. “There’s no place like home. My genre has a wider audience here, and I believe God’s purpose for me abroad was fulfilled. Since returning, I’ve been more active musically and spiritually.”

As choirmaster of the popular Celestial Church (KOK Parish) and an active performer, Blacko has mastered the art of balancing ministry and a demanding music career. His discography includes the 7-track album Blackomania and the 10-track project Hymnal According to Dele Blacko, both of which have been praised for their depth and spiritual resonance.

Now, with Ojumo Ire, Blacko aims to deliver an uplifting experience that blends the rich textures of juju with gospel’s soul-stirring power. The EP’s visuals are already in motion, with location shoots recently wrapped for one of the standout tracks.

“I want to put out music that will still reign long after I’m gone,” Blacko reflects. “My greatest joy is seeing people smile, dance, and feel blessed through my songs.”

From sharing the stage with King Sunny Ade to leading worship that unites congregations, Dele Blacko continues to bridge the sacred and the celebratory. With Ojumo Ire on the horizon, gospel juju lovers can expect nothing short of a masterpiece that uplifts, inspires, and gets the feet moving.

Published

on

Teddy A has shared a new photo of himself locked in the arms of an unidentified woman, accompanied by a cryptic Yoruba caption Observant fans have noticed that BamBam has officially removed Teddy A’s name from her Instagram bio.

From missing Mother’s Day tributes to a total lack of a birthday post for his wife, the cracks in the “BamTeddy” union have moved from private whispers to public silence.

Nigerian reality TV star Teddy A has set tongues wagging online after sharing a cosy photo of himself with an unidentified woman. The image, posted on Monday, April 4, showed the former Big Brother Naija housemate holding the woman closely.

Accompanying the post was a seemingly harmless caption: “Pele pele laye gba! Hello May, happy new month fanmily!”

While Teddy A did not provide any context about the woman in the photo, the internet quickly began to read between the lines.

This comes at a time when rumours have been circulating, suggesting that his marriage to BamBam may be facing serious challenges.

Though neither party has publicly confirmed a split, their recent online activity tells a story fans can’t seem to ignore. One of the earliest signs that raised concern was BamBam’s decision to remove Teddy A’s name from her Instagram bio.

Not long after, during Mother’s Day celebrations, Teddy A shared a tribute to important women in his life, but noticeably left out his wife’s name. For fans who had followed their love story since their Big Brother Naija days, the omission felt unusual. Adding to the speculation, Teddy A also did not publicly celebrate BamBam on her recent birthday — a gesture that many consider routine among celebrity couples.

Blessing CEO Returns To Instagram After Cancer Claim Controversy

Published

on

Controversial Nigerian influencer, Blessing Okoro Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has returned to Instagram weeks after deactivating her account amid backlash over her claim of battling stage four breast cancer.

A check on her page shows that she has deleted all posts related to the cancer diagnosis, including interviews and materials previously shared to support her claim.

Only a documentary-style post on breast health awareness remains visible on her page.

The controversy began in January when the influencer announced she had been diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and appealed for financial assistance.

She had backed her claim with what she described as a medical report. However, Xinus Medical Diagnostics disputed the authenticity of the document, alleging that it had been altered.

The centre stated that the original report belonged to Deborah Mbara and was issued in May 2025.

Mbara, a makeup artist and cancer survivor, later accused Blessing CEO of using her medical report without consent.

The development sparked outrage and raised concerns over the authenticity of the fundraising appeal.

Following the allegations, Mbara’s family petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing the influencer of cyberbullying, forgery, and running a fraudulent fundraising scheme.

The petition alleged that over ₦300 million was raised from members of the public under false pretences.

The Nigerian Cancer Society also called for a thorough investigation, urging authorities to ensure accountability.

Blessing CEO had deactivated her Instagram account shortly after the controversy escalated, but has now returned to the platform.

As of the time of filing this report, she has yet to publicly address the allegations following her return.
