Blaming opposition for hunger is ‘delusion’, Atiku tells Tinubu Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of blaming the opposition for the country’s economic hardship. He said the President was trying to evade responsibility for his administration’s policies. Tinubu had earlier on Saturday blamed his political opponents for hunger and poverty in the country while speaking at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. “I hear my opponent talking about hunger, poverty. Who created it? They did! They created the hunger, they created the poverty. We are trying to eradicate it,” the President said. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, said Nigerians were entitled to demand answers from the APC-led government over rising living costs, poverty, insecurity and questions surrounding public expenditure.

 Davido's Humble Prostration at Zlatan Ibile's Wedding Stirring Online Buzz


Afrobeats superstar Davido recently demonstrated a profound act of humility and loyalty, joining fellow artist Zlatan Ibile in a traditional Yoruba prostration at Zlatan's grand wedding ceremony. The gesture, performed before the bride's parents, has quickly become a major talking point across social media platforms.


The highly anticipated event, Zlatan Ibile's Ìgbéyàwó, a traditional Yoruba wedding uniting him with Davita Lamai, took place in Lagos on October 24, 2026. As per cherished Yoruba customs, the groom and his groomsmen were expected to perform Ìdọ̀bálẹ̀, a deep show of respect involving lying flat on the chest before the bride's parents to formally seek their daughter's hand in marriage.


Davido, celebrated as one of Nigeria's most influential music exports, participated without hesitation. Videos from the lavish celebration show him on the ground alongside Zlatan and other members of the groom's party, fully engaging in the age-old tradition.


Understanding Ìdọ̀bálẹ̀'s Cultural Significance


The act of Ìdọ̀bálẹ̀ holds immense cultural weight in Yoruba society. It transcends a mere greeting, serving as a powerful demonstration of honour and reverence directed towards elders, royalty, or, as in this context, in-laws. Within a traditional wedding ceremony, this gesture is a crucial part of the Ìtọrọ, the ceremonial process where the groom's family formally requests the bride from her lineage.


Guests at the wedding were adorned in elegant white and green agbadas, complemented by coral beads and intricately embroidered outfits, all gathered under an array of ornate chandeliers and decorative drapery. The atmosphere throughout the event was undeniably jubilant, marked by enthusiastic money spraying and a palpable festive spirit among the attendees.


Davido's Participation Sparks Online Reactions


While the entire ceremony was a spectacle, it was the sight of an international icon like Davido participating so wholeheartedly in the tradition that truly captivated internet users. Fans and observers alike quickly flocked online to share their admiration and surprise.


One user, identified as _.ekene, remarked, "If not for Davido, we'd have thought celebrities are demigods. God bless and keep Davido." Others questioned the whereabouts of another popular figure, Poco Lee, highlighting Davido's prominent role among Zlatan Ibile's groomsmen, further sparking widespread reactions across social media platforms.


Davido's embrace of this cultural tradition serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst global fame, deep-rooted customs and personal loyalty can take precedence, resonating strongly with audiences both within Nigeria and beyond.
