The award-winning rapper highlighted his come-up story and the obstacles he overcame during his recent interview on the Listen with Osi podcast.

Ice Prince shared how losing both his parents at a young age shaped his life, “I don’t have a mother, I’m an only son and that’s quite tough and I’ve been that way since I was 11 years old when I lost my dad. I was 21 or 22 when my mum passed away and I have a family that depends on me. I don’t have any uncles, aunties, Godfathers or Godmothers that I can depend on. It’s been nothing but God in my life.”

Ice Prince recalled his school days, explaining how financial constraints affected his education, noting that he wants his success story to inspire others.

He explained, “I just want people to look at my life and be like, ‘if this imperfect human can be somebody, I have no excuse to fail.’I was the guy who would spend at least 3 weeks out of every school term at home because of school fees.”

“I didn’t go to university because of 20,000 which is like one spliff now. That’s the reason I didn’t go, because of 20,000. I had two weeks to pay that money for a registration and I couldn’t come up with it and that’s how I lost the admission and I became a studio rat from there,” he added.

‘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.”
