    This is disgraceful – Jaywon blasts Governor Ododo for sharing palliatives amid high insecurity

    Popular Nigerian singer Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, better known as Jaywon, has berated Kogi State governor, Ahmed Ododo for distributing pallatives to widows amid widespread insecurity in the state.

    This is coming shortly after the governor, in a bid to cushion the hardship, distributed palliative packages to 1,500 widows across the state.

    Applauding the governor for his notable work, the Kogi community, via X.com, shared photos of the palliatives and disclosed that the initiative covers all 21 LGA across the state.

    The post reads: “His Excellency Ahmed Usman Ododo shared palliative packages to 1,500 widows across the state. This initiative, which covers all 21 local government areas, is a deliberate effort aimed at easing the economic struggles encountered by widows.”

    In response to the post, the singer criticized the State governor, labeling the situation as ‘disgraceful’ and highlighting a failure in leadership.

    He pointed out that it was insensitive for the State government to provide palliatives to citizens while violence and insecurity continue to escalate in the state.

    Additionally, he emphasized that distributing rice, rather than offering real solutions to the growing insecurity, was an inappropriate response.

    In his words: “Sharing palliatives while citizens are being killed and abducted is not just insensitive — it’s a failure of leadership. Rather than addressing the insecurity plaguing Kogi State and finding real solutions, you’re distributing rice as a distraction. This is disgraceful, Governor Ododo.

    “Anyone praising your performance is only feeding your delusion, not helping the people.”

  • No man wants to marry a woman who cannot cook-Jaywon

    Nigerian singer, Jaywon has stated that no man would love to marry a woman who doesn’t know how to cook.
    The music star made this known via his Instagram page on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. According to him, even though many men would love to employ chefs and housemaids to take care of their homes, a woman who can take care of the home is paramount.
    “How many men can come out proudly and say my wife doesn’t know how to cook or take care of the house? A real hustler will provide for his family and even employ a maid and cook but Naaaaa we are Africans and not just African but proud YORUBA MAN (LOCAL ONE FOR THAT MATTER OO) My wife must sabi cook even if she no go cook all the time but must sabi……… DELETING,” he wrote.
    Jaywon’s post is connected to the debate on men getting married to only women who can cook. This debate started after the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Adeboye, tweeted about the need for men to get married to only women who can cook.
    In the same vein, media personality, Toke Makinwa took a swipe at the cleric over the tweet. According to her, cooking shouldn’t be restricted to one gender.
    “Cooking is not restricted to gender, guys learn how to cook so you don’t base the entirety of picking a life partner on your belly, if you don’t want to, make enough to hire a chef. Life is too short to be triggered all the time,” she tweeted.
