Eedris AbdulKareem, Tiwa Savage, others top this week’s social media trends

Veteran Nigerian rapper Eedris AbdulKareem kicked off the weekly trend with the sad story of his health challenges which he shared during a colloquium on August 14 at Freedom Park, Lagos.
Eedris, 48, was recently diagnosed with kidney failure and became the talk of social media following his disclosure that his wife, Yetunde, is his kidney donor.
As fans and well-wishers continued to pray for the rapper, Tiwa Savage, Nigerian singer and songwriter, lightened up the mood at the colloquium when she gave her fans more than they asked for, as she was seen in a video wearing a bare-bottomed outfit to an after-party.
The 42-year-old singer had the internet buzzing on Monday when she stepped out in the revealing dress for an after-party to celebrate her sold-out show in London.
As some fans bashed the self-proclaimed African Bad Girl for what they described as inappropriate, some applauded her for reminding her fans that she is into “Showbiz” and not another profession.
On Tuesday, actress Eniola Badmus came all out for the gram when she was spotted in a viral video spraying money on Nigerian singer, Davido, who was overwhelmed.
As some fans talked about the amount of money she sprayed and how she had always been a fan, friend and supporter of Davido, some could not help but assess her size, which had undergone a lot of transformation.
Badmus recently shared her transformation pictures which she captioned, “wasn’t an easy journey. Oju ri tooo (eyes have seen enough).”
On Wednesday, Nigerian artiste, Daniel Benson, popularly known as BNXN, trended on social media after a video of him having an altercation with police officers in Lagos went viral.
BNXN’s now-deleted tweet also confirmed that he had been in a situation with the police, which led to him spitting on an officer.
“Spat in a police officer’s face, and it felt so good. I let you in my car, and you dragged and tear (sic) my shirt, and start slapping me? Nah, everybody must stop!” he wrote.
Reacting, the spokesperson of the Police Command in Lagos State, Benjamin Hundeyin, said BNXN would be penalised if found wanting, and the same would apply to the police officers in the video.
With over 5,000 searches on the internet, Nigerian entertainer, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, on August 18 revealed that he was thinking of having a town hall meeting with three presidential candidates.
Charly Boy, who had continued to air his views on Nigerian politics, added that he would also like some youths to be present so they can ask the candidates about their plans for the youth.
The “Area Father”, as he is fondly called, was recently on the news during his visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, where he described himself as the “President of Frustrated Nigerian Youths”.
On August 19, Nigerian rapper Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I, released his fifth studio album titled “The Guy”.
The 12-track album features American rapper Nas and other Nigerian artistes like Olamide, Phyno, Ice Prince, Jesse Jagz, Wande Coal, Duncan Mighty, BNXN and The Cavemen.
Popular Nigerian artiste Ahmed Ololade, known as Asake, also serenaded fans with the video of his new single “Terminator”.
Asaka announced the release of the highly anticipated music video on his Twitter account when he posted a clip of the video with the caption “My new record Terminator is out now (video/audio) Prod.@magicsticksbeat, Dir. @boy_director, C/w. @Olamide”
