The show was scheduled to be held at the GelreDome stadium on Saturday night.

We want to make sure you get the best 'love Damini' experience possible and that won't have happened today for a number of reasons. "My amazing team has been hard at work trying to salvage it but we couldn't do it in time. I'll be announcing a new date in a few hours so watch out for it!"

Japa: Youtuber Tiamiyu Apologises Over Comment On BBC Interview Nigerian Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu, has apologised over his comment about Nigerian students studying in the United Kingdom in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation. The Youtuber made the apology in a video he shared on his YouTube account on Wednesday, following the backlash he faced after the interview. Tiamiyu, who is known for advising Nigerians on studying in the United Kingdom, claimed that many of them were not looking for new qualifications, but to start a new life abroad. Speaking in a video he shared on Wednesday morning, he apologised saying that he granted the interview to speak on the challenges that the black community genuinely face. He said, “I am doing this from the reflections and the truthfulness of my heart that you have seen in the interview/ news feature. Please, I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. "If what you have seen being circulated has made you uncomfortable in any way at all, I am sorry, deeply and sincerely sorry. “And why do I say sorry, because for whatever pain that you feel, I feel even more, because if I meet you in person, if we were able to sit in the same space, probably engage, there is nothing in my heart for you other than love, progress and positive support. People who know me in the world know that this is what I have got. “There is no other motivation than to grant an interview to speak on the challenges that we genuinely face as a black community back at home and also in the UK."

Isiaka Adeleke's spirit lives, Osun gov elect cries

Isiaka Adeleke's spirit lives, Osun gov elect cries The governor elect of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, famously referred to as the dancing senator, bursted into uncontrollable tears as he stated that the spirit of his elder brother, Isiaka Adeleke lives on. It was on Channels Television's Politics Today with Seun Okinbaloye, an interactive segment where he was engaged on family life, dancing instinct and worldview. In his words, he said he gets financial support from his brother, Adedeji Adeleke, father of the Nigerian musician, Davido. "I get financial support from my brother all the time. My brother called me, he said Demola listen, you don't have anything to be ashamed of. You contested two elections and you won both, the second one they stole it from you. But this one, because you're going there to serve, you're going there to help the people of Osun State out of poverty, out of slavery, you're going to do it and I'm going to still support you, whatever that it takes, financially, monetarily. So he gave me all the backings, he gave me a lot of money." Talking about Dupe, his sister, the dancing senator said, "When we were growing up, I was the last born but at the same time, the family elected me as the president of the Adeleke dynasty, so I always take advantage of that. Sometimes, I will just say, sebi you are my mum, go and pay this bill, and she will say go and use your own money and I'll say I'll withdraw you from being my mother. Because if my mother is alive, she will do the same thing. So I used to tease her like that. And I always get her. "I do the same thing with my brother. Our parents united us, so I wish all families can be like that, we do things together, a lot of people understand that. That's why I prostrate for my brother, hugged him, cried on him, and I said brother I love you, I thank you so much. Asked if this situation ever made him remember his brother, Sen. Isiaka, "All the time", he said. "This victory, I dedicate to him, because
