Nigeran musician, Temilade Openiyi, professionally known as Tems, has announced ...ponement of the release of the video of her hit song, ‘Burning’.
The track is off the Grammy winner’s debut album ‘Born In The Wild’ which had been scheduled to drop on Thursday, August 1, 2024.
Tems disclosed in a post on his Twitter page that she decided she made the decision to postpone the music video in respect of the ongoing nationwide protest against bad governance.
The Oscar-nominated diva went ahead to lend her voice to the protest against bad governance, saying that the voice of the people should be heard.
Tems wrote: “Out of respect for the on going protest at home [Nigerian flag emoji], I have decided to postpone the release of ‘Burning’ music video. Praying for the safety of those outside at this time. May the voice of the people be heard.”
Meanwhile, in other news…
Archbishop Professor Princewilll Ariwodor has asked President Bola Tinubu to honourably step down if he has no solution to the country’s economic challenges.
The cleric also cautioned Government against any attempt to scare citizens from holding peaceful protest, describing such as an ambush against democracy.
Ariwodor said; “We have never experienced this level of decay in the economic management of this country. Other leaders were in one way or the other better than the current Government.
“Tinubu should resign if he is unable to fix the economy. The Nigeria economy was far better before he took over. Buhari handed over to him a better economy which he has now destroyed.
“But his allies and psych0paths don’t tell him the truth. Nigerians are suffering, there is no pretense. Nigerians are hungry and have the constitutional right to express their grievances through peaceful protest. The people are not violent, so, why will you apply force against peaceful protesters?
“Why will you flog people and ask them not to cry? You are flogging the nation and shouldn’t ask the people not to cry. Government should listen to public opinions. Pressure groups, provided they are not violent, make Governments to sit up.”
