‘I made friends during my time in Ikoyi prison’, Ice Prince speaks about his prison experience

‘I made friends during – Nigerian rapper and singer…
Nigerian rapper and singer Ice Prince, real name Panshak Zamani, has opened up about the time he spent at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre in Lagos some two years ago.
The rapper described the experience he had over the six days he spent in the prison as one he would not wish on his worst enemy.
In September 2022, the rapper was remanded in prison over allegations of assaulting a police officer. He played down the allegation in his recent interview.
Further describing his time in incarceration as “horrible”, Ice Prince noted that he was treated like every other inmate and did not receive any preferential treatment despite his celebrity status.
The rapper added that in spite of the challenging environment in prison, he managed to make friends and formed bonds with fellow inmates, referring to prison as “a different institution of higher learning.”
Ice Prince threw a subtle jab at celebrities and public figures who brag after coming out of police cells, telling them that the experiences cannot be compared with that of prison as they are not remotely close in terms of the horrors. His words:
Whatever story you were told is not what happened. The case is over now, so I can talk about it. I spent six days in jail. I didn’t get preferential treatment. It’s a prison, so there was no preferential treatment. I’m not talking about a police cell.
I have seen a lot of celebrities and public figures who went to police cells come out to brag as if they went through some sh*t. If you’ve never been to prison, you ain’t seen it yet. I can’t explain it. It’s a different world. I don’t pray for my worst enemy to experience it.
AdvertisementYou have to be careful out there because mistakes can take you there. There are so many innocent people in there. It wasn’t a good experience.
But I made friends in there. We hung out and chatted. It’s a different institution of higher learning.
Shedding light on what led to his arrest, Ice Prince claimed that his arrest was a misunderstanding, stating that he was joking with the police officer when he drove off during a stop-and-search operation.

‘She’s dying’ – Zicsaloma accuses LUTH of medical negligence towards his cancer-stricken mother

Nigerian comedian and content creator, Zicsaloma, has publicly condemned the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) over gross mistreatment and neglect of his mother, who is currently battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy.
In a distressed Instagram video, the skit maker, real name Aloma Isaac Junior, detailed a harrowing ordeal, claiming that hospital personnel at LUTH refused to admit his critically ill mother despite the urgency of her condition.
According to him, she had recently developed severe post-chemotherapy complications that prompted a desperate dash to the hospital. But rather than receiving emergency care, she was allegedly denied access at the gate and left unattended.
“She’s a skeleton of herself,” he said emotionally. He revealed that when they arrived at LUTH, she was not only turned away but also made to wait for hours outside the gate. “Do you know when we took my mum to LUTH, the hospital refused to let her in?” he said. “They now pointed us to a test centre beside LUTH, where we should go and do it. We now took the result back to the hospital. They refused to let my mum in.”
According to him, the hospital claimed only a doctor could authorise entry. But when one was finally called to assess the situation, he “literally walked out,” refusing to assist. “She cannot even stand. I literally backed my mum.”
Zicsaloma slammed what he described as a lack of compassion in Nigeria’s medical system. “Our medical team, the doctors of Nigeria, are terrible.” He added, “If you see my mum, she is a skeleton of herself.”
Frustrated and heartbroken, the skit maker painted a grim picture of the situation. “If somebody is ill in this country, the person can just die. You are seeing a lifeless woman. That cannot stand.”
He concluded his emotional outcry with a strong criticism of the healthcare system, saying, “These hospitals, they need to be checked.”

‘There is no forgiveness’: Seyi Law on why he can never support Peter Obi

Nigerian stand-up comedian, Oluwaseyitan Lawrence Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has said he can never support Peter Obi, presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections.
The funnyman made the revelation in a recent interview on the Teju Babyface show, saying the former Anambra State Governor can never have his forgiveness.
Seyi Law pinpointed the actions of Peter Obi’s supporters, the Obidients, as the reason why he holds a grudge against him.
He claimed Obidients insulted his wife and children because he backed President Bola Tinubu while Peter Obi stood by and refused to call them to order while also failing to admit that his supporters attacked those who did not support him.
He argued that the former Anambra governor’s “failure” to condemn the actions of his supporters makes him “unfit” for his support.
Furthermore, Seyi Law likened the Obidient movement to a “cult” that doesn’t “support free thinking”.
He added that Obidients crossed personal boundaries by going after his family and it is one thing he finds “unforgivable”.
“The moment you cross that boundary from me to my children, mother, and wife, there is no forgiveness. That is why there is nothing on earth that Peter Obi can do that will make me support him,” Seyi Law declared.
“They attacked my children and my wife. As long as Peter Obi does not call them to order and he keeps denying that they are doing that, he will never get my support. Let Peter Obi wear the garment of Jesus Christ today, he will never get my support.
“Hate or love me, my personal way of life is between me and God. Any organisation that does not support free thinking is a cult. I do not feel down at all because when you talk too much, I swear to you.
“One of the good things that God has done for me is that my anger does not last long. Personal anger for me does not last long. The only place it lasts long is when you leave me and attack my children, mother, and wife.”
