In the world of reality TV, friendships can often be fleeting, but on Real Housewives of Abuja, the friendship between Princess and Tutupie seems to be standing the test of time.

Despite some minor bumps in the road, the two have remained steadfast in their support for each other on the show.

Their friendship started long before the show, and it’s clear that they have a genuine bond that goes beyond the cameras.

When Tutupie was accused of drinking too much at a party, Princess was quick to defend her, stating that Tutupie was simply having fun and that the other ladies were making a bigger deal out of it than necessary.

However, their friendship hasn’t been without its challenges.

A case was when Princess made a comment about her husband warning her to be careful around Tutupie, Tutupie was understandably hurt and upset. But after Princess explained her reasoning, the two were able to move past it and continue to support each other.

So far on the show, it seems like it’s often the two of them against the other ladies. They defend each other, have each other’s backs, and seem to genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

On one hand, they do share some similarities in behaviour. They both have strong personalities and aren’t afraid to speak their minds, even if it means going against the rest of the group. They also both seem to be confident, independent women who don’t need validation from others.

On the other hand, their friendship seems to be based on a deeper level of trust and understanding that goes beyond just superficial similarities. They have a history together and seem to genuinely care about each other’s well-being, even when they don’t always see eye-to-eye.

Veteran musician, Daniel Wilson aka Mr. Raggamufin has come down hard on motivational speakers on some of their inspirational quotes.

Wilson, who ruled the airways in the late 80s and 90s with popular hit songs like ‘999,’ ‘Omolakeji,’ ‘heartbreaker,’ ‘abortion’ etc, particularly took exception to a general quote about motivational speakers talking about the importance of ideas without money in starting off a business.

The Original Bad Boy (OBB) insisted that there is no business that can start off without money no matter the idea.

He made his observation on his Facebook page saying, “motivational speakers say, don’t worry about money just get started on your business idea first and everything will fall into place and I ask, how does one get started on any idea without money? In my experience in business, capital is everything. Capital is king! Nobody starts anything without capital! You will age and die with your ideas without adequate financing, so go find money abeg.”

As the fast-rising music act Tima makes her debut with her first single, there are talks of how well and far she is set to go in the music industry.

Tima’s debut single is entitled, ‘Angels’ and is set to signal the beginning of her music career.

The singer and songwriter posited in her new EP, scheduled for release in May 2023, that she was set to “defy the law of gravity!”

Describing her genre as a mix of Afro rhythm and blues with a touch of soul, Tima eulogises the power and beauty of inner conviction and attentiveness to the small gentle voice.

“In a world where many young people are under a lot of pressure to conform or gravitate towards the crowd, I believe that reflection is a valuable asset,” Tima said. “It’s in light of this that I repeatedly described myself as a ‘rebel’ in the piece.”

Tima’s EP also features Prince Miah, a young Nigerian artist based in Jos, Plateau State.

Tima, whose full name is Fatima Nda-Isaiah and is based in Abuja, started her singing career as a performer in her school band, singing covers of music by other artists.

“This EP is a window into the type of multi-talented and versatile person Tima is,” a statement by her promoter said.

Tima’s desire is to make a mark on the Afro-music genre and she noted this saying, “I’m aware that beat is very important to young people, but I also spend a lot of time thinking about lyrics.” “I believe that music, apart from being relatable, should also convey a positive message.”

She plans to release a sequel to ‘Angels’ in May.
