Why I mention Dangote, Otedola in my songs – Teni

Unarguably one of the biggest entertainers in the country at the moment, Teni Apata, popularly known as Teni the entertainer, is one singer who often mentions the names of prominent people in her songs.

Teni, who clinched four awards at the recently held Headies, stated that winning awards and touring 35 cities had been the high points of 2019 for her so far. She added, “God has just been great. From the BET to MTV EMA, getting endorsements, and touring over 35 cities across the

The plot was supplied by Nigeria's vibrant social media and was aided by Mrs Buhari's cryptic comments. The setting is Nigeria's presidential villa, Aso Rock. What's all this talk about a wedding? The wedding at the centre of the story that was largely played out on social media involves President Muhammadu Buhari, and one of his female cabinet ministers, Sadiya Farouq.
