Toni Braxton, American R&B singer, says she looks forward to learning Yoruba, a Nigerian language, so she can sing some of the country’s indigenous songs.
The talented songstress took to her Twitter account to reveal her obsession with Nigerian culture and music.
“I’m in Nigeria. Everything is so beautiful, especially the music! I can’t wait to learn the language so that I can sing it right. Headed back home. Leaving Nigeria. Wonderful time there,” she said with a video where she is seen singing to BOJ and Teni’s track ‘OBE’.
“The food is beautiful, the people are beautiful. The music rocks.”

The R&B vocalist had headlined the celebration of Nduka Obaigbena, editor-in-chief of ThisDay Media Group’s 60th birthday.
Braxton serenaded guests who attended the event and treated them to exhilarating dance moves — inviting individuals from the audience to the stage as she sang some of her hit tracks.
Tiwa Savage and Wizkid, thereafter, came on stage to entertain the crowd with a medley of songs that eventually rounded off the celebration.
The event attracted a plethora of political figures, technocrats, and bigwigs within and across the confines of the country’s upper echelon of power.
Dignitaries at the event include Emeka Ihedioha, Imo governor; Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, Kwara governor; Babatunde Fashola, a former Lagos governor; and Ifeanyi Okowa, Delta governor.
Godwin Emefiele, CBN governor; and Jim Ovia, Zenith Bank founder also anchored the cutting of the birthday cake as political conversations on the state and future of Nigeria took the front seat.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said.

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.
