Also present are Deputy Governors, Chinyere Ekomaru (Imo) and Monday Onyeme (Delta), along with Olayide Adelami (Ondo).

It is anticipated that governors from all 17 Southern States will be in attendance at the meeting.

While the agenda of the meeting is yet to be made public, it is worth noting that the Southern Governors are meeting for the first time after the demise of the late Rotimi Akeredolu, former Governor of Ondo State, who was the chairman of the forum until his demise.

The forum has not elected a new chairman after Akeredolu’s death in December 2023.

Akeredolu’s replacement may emerge at the end of the meeting.

Simi


Popular Nigerian singer/songwriter, Simi has opened up about how she feels about the X platform and why she responds the way she does.

She made this known on the Zero Conditions Podcast where she discussed her music career.

Simi addressed questions about her reputation for witty, sometimes harsh responses on Twitter. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

She explained that she never intended to be “savage,” saying, “I feel like I still am sometimes; maybe it’s because I’m not on Twitter as much as I used to be. I don’t see it as being ‘savage’ because my goal is not to be savage.”.

The singer emphasized that her online personality reflects her real-life demeanor. “That’s how I am in real life, though; I’d say I’m very quick with it. If someone says sorry, I would say sorry for yourself; I’m a joker as well,” Simi shared.

However, Simi noted a shift in her social media engagement, particularly on Twitter. She explained, “Twitter isn’t the way it used to be; it used to be better. I don’t think it’s because people are now awake, though. I feel like Twitter has become a competition for who can be the most toxic or the loudest person and I don’t have fun with it like I used to. Now I hardly go on it.”
