“That's why Spyro wants to hold Jesus, the real guy.”

@originalucdivin reacted:

“The truth is, fame requires compromising values and making questionable sacrifices. While it may not involve the specific compromises mentioned, achieving fame usually demands some compromising values. In 2015/2016, I recorded my first secular song featuring Slowdog.”

@aynigeria commented;

“These conditions are sick and old skool.”

@Thatruthtellah commented:

“Must we sing circular songs? Tbt the music industry is dark & that means you'd have to be very familiar with the system (house) to be able to move in the dark. I ventured into rapping in 2008, lost someone dear to me immediately I dropped my first single. Story 4 another day.”

@Abudris said:

“Do you have to do all these before you can be a musician.”

@Castle_Rep reacted:

“Na the gay oga off me pass.”

One of the suspects, 25-year-old Ajayi Solomon, confessed that he joined the gang because his parents had died and he had to take care of his siblings.

Apart from Solomon, the police also arrested Momodu Williams, 19, Kazeem Ganiyu, 19, Seun Ariyo, 20, and Elijah Dada, 19. On the fatal night the robbers reportedly stormed Palace Road and Amosugboro streets in the Ijanikin area and took away money and valuables.
