 Why I became a care giver after I left acting — Rita Dominic reveals  Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Dominic has revealed the reason behind her temporary departure from the industry to work as a care worker in London. Speaking during a Women of Valour Conference held in Accra, Ghana, she stated that she left acting due to a period she considered "dark in my life." She, however, remarked that she began to find fulfilment and a reason for living when she began working as a carer. She said, “In 2001/2002 I stopped acting. I left the [movie] industry and moved to London because it was a very dark period in my life. I fell out with some friends I considered family. And I just gave up acting for a while.

 Davido goofed, reduces Nigeria's diversity to three tribes Afrobeat singer Davido has made an inaccurate statement suggesting that Nigeria is composed of only three tribes: Yoruba, Igbo, and Benin. During a hosting session with renowned American content creator Kai Cenat, who is in Nigeria for a documentary, Davido made the statement while in Lagos yesterday. He stated, “We have three tribes in Nigeria. There’s Yoruba. My father is Yoruba. And in Nigeria, wherever your father is from, that’s where you are really from. So my father is Yoruba. My wife is from Igbo. And my mother is from Benin. I’m three tribes in one.” However, this claim contradicts official data from the National Bureau of Statistics, which indicates that Nigeria is home to 371 tribes. The largest ethnic groups are Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.
