Buhari Departs for London on a 4-Day Medical Check-Up
President Buhari recently traveled to London for medical checkup, leaving Nigerians wondering if he is fit to rule again.
One of the President’s aides is quoted to have said, “In the course of the technical stop-over for aircraft maintenance in London on his way back from Washington last week, the president had a meeting with his doctor. The doctor requested the president to return for a meeting which he agreed to do.”

Nigerians on social media are, however, vocal about their disdain for the President’s incessant medical trips.

That was really not all about Davido; he actually seems to have bought the whole of social media this week as his girlfriend, Chioma also gets a cooking endorsement deal.

Davido’s girlfriend, Chioma has reportedly signed a mouth watering multi-million naira endorsement deal. Recall few days ago when Davido announced via his Instagram page that his girlfriend, Chioma had gotten an endorsement deal worth N60M but wanted more? Well, it looks like she finally agreed to sign the deal.
The music star hinted this on his Instagram Stories when he posted a photo of Chioma having a photo section at the perceived location for the yet to be disclosed brand. “OVERNIGHT MILLIONAIRE!!!!!” he captioned the photo.
