Delta, peaceful for investments, says Gov. Oborevwori

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Wednesday night, said the state was peaceful and investor-friendly.
Governor Oborevwori disclosed this while playing host to ace Nigerian musician, Davido and his delegation who were at the Governor’s lodge in Asaba on a courtesy visit ahead of his performance last night at the Events Centre.

He said that his administration is working hard to ensure peace and safety of investments across the state and expressed appreciation to Davido for his support over the years
Saying that his administration would continue to work to attract premium investment into Asaba and other parts of the state, he assured investors of the safety of their investments in any part of the state and pledged continued partnership with security agencies for the realisation of the M.O.R.E Agenda.

He said: “I am very happy receiving Davido this night and this shows that Delta State is peaceful as he is coming to perform this night.
“When I was campaigning, I promised that we are going to enhance peace and security and you can see a lot of developments going on in Asaba and other parts of the state.
“People are coming to invest in Asaba and other parts of the state and I want assure all our investors that Delta State is safe and they can come in here to do business at any time.
“Coming here to perfom this festive period is very remarkable even though this is not his first time of coming to Delta but as a Governor this is the first time he is coming to perform and it is a big honour to receive him and his entourage and we are happy.
“I commend the organisers for choosing Asaba at this particular time. I have promised Deltans that they should expect MORE things and you can see that a lot of youths are in my cabinet and we are excited that Davido is performing here tonight.
“During my swearing-in ceremony he was here for the praise night and he came again to see me in the office and I want to appreciate him for the love he has shown us in this state. You are welcome to Delta at any time to partner and perform for our people”.
Earlier, Davido said he came with his group on a courtesy visit to the Governor as a mark of respect and to appreciate the Governor for his good works in ensuring peace and security across the state.
He said Delta had always been a second home to him because of Governor Oborevwori and his friend, lawyer and manager, Bobo Ajudua who hails from Ibusa, Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state.
According to him; “we have performed here in Asaba and Warri since the beginning of my career but this is the first time am performing here with you as Governor so its going to be very different tonight.
“Delta is like a second home to me and we are here to give back to the people that has been supporting us in London, America and all over the world.
“We are very excited because the tickets are selling out and all the youths are excited that we are coming and they are ready for the show.
“I am also excited because come 2024 we have the Grammy award that is coming and this is the first time of my being nominated and by the grace of God we will get some awards and we will come and show you again.
“My friend, lawyer and manager, Bobo Ajudua is from Delta State and we are happy working together to give premium content to our fans all over the world”.

Gen Z Slang: Bet, Simp, Glow Up and More
I’m Dead: When something’s really funny, Gen Z won’t just say “lol.” They’ll say “I’m dead,” meaning something is so funny it killed them with laughter, rather than just typing “lol.”

Language evolves, and Gen Z — born between the 1997 and 2012 — has introduced an entire dictionary of expressive, clever, and sometimes confusing slang.
These Gen Z slang terms dominate social media platforms, group chats, and online video game lobbies.
Here’s a breakdown of the phrases you’ll hear from this generation.
- 1. No Cap: Used to express truth, “no cap” means someone is being honest or serious. If you say, “This new song is fire, no cap,” you’re saying the song is great (fire) and you truly believe it.
- 2. Bet
- Bet is a casual way of saying “OK” or “I’m down.” It’s a quick response that shows agreement or enthusiasm. You might use it instead of “sure thing” in real life or online.
- 3. Simp
- Originating in Black American hip-hop slang, simp became a derogatory term for a man perceived as overly subservient to a woman in the hope of winning her affection. Saying, “You’re such a simp,” carries negative connotations, especially in a romantic relationship context.
- 4. Main Character
- To describe someone as the “main character” is to say they carry themselves like the star of a movie. It’s both a compliment and a slight knock, depending on tone — often used in social media captions and stories.
- 5. Glow Up
- A “glow up” refers to a transformation — usually physical or stylistic — that makes someone look or feel better than before. This phrase is a great example of Gen Z’s thirst for self-improvement and style.
- 6.Cringe
- Cringe is used to describe anything awkward, embarrassing, or trying too hard. If your Baby Boomer uncle uses Gen Z slang words unironically, that might earn a “yikes” or a full-on “big yikes” from the group.
- 7. Touch Grass
- A favorite insult among Gen Z, to tell someone to touch grass means they’re online too much and need to get back to real life. It’s a witty way to say “log off and go outside.”
- 8. Vibe Check
- “Vibe check” is all about gauging someone’s mood or the feel of a space. Passed the vibe check? You’re cool. Failed it? Time to reassess your energy.
- 9. Whole Meal
- Calling someone a whole meal is a step beyond calling them attractive. It’s a bold phrase used to express approval or attraction: “She’s not just cute, she’s a whole meal.
- 10. I’m Dead
- When something’s really funny, Gen Z won’t just say “lol.” They’ll say “I’m dead,” meaning something is so funny it killed them with laughter, rather than just typing “lol.”
- In other words, this is the Gen Z equivalent of using a crying-laughing emoji to show something is hilarious. It shows they’re expressing excitement and humor in a big way.

NFVCB June Films top by ROK Studios, Silverbird Distribution, and OSSYKing Movies
62 films were rated 15, thirteen movies got an age 12- rating, 3 films were marked ‘G’ for general viewing and two of the movies were classified PG (Parental Guidance).

• Nollywood films cast
The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) approved a total of 151 films for the month of June 2025 against 53 films earlier reported erroneously.
The approval also revealed the growing consistency of top production houses like ROK Studios, Silverbird Distribution, and OSSYKing Movies, which featured prominently in this month’s listings.
Breakdown of classifications from the Censors Board website shows that 71 were classified as rated-18 years, out of the 151 films approved.
62 films were rated 15, thirteen movies got an age 12- rating, 3 films were marked ‘G’ for general viewing and two of the movies were classified PG (Parental Guidance).
This classification points to a growing shift toward mature, emotionally complex storytelling, with 18-rated titles accounting for nearly half of the approved films.
This classification underscores a noticeable dominance of 18-rated titles and English-language productions.
It also reflects the increasing pace of local film production across regions and genres.
English-language productions accounted for the bulk of the approvals, continuing their stronghold as Nollywood’s dominant medium.
However, a fair share of Yoruba and Igbo titles also made the list, reaffirming the role of indigenous voices in the cinematic landscape.
Notably approved indigenous-language films include Obim (Igbo), Iyawo Eniyan and Ajegunle Lawa (Yoruba) and Itene (Idoma).
There was no hausa-language films approved during the month, marking a recurring gap in representation from the North.However, Itene produced in Idoma, was one of the few from the Middle Belt.Among studios with multiple entries include ROK Studios had a strong presence with films like Perfect Wife, Strings of Love, Hidden Truth and My Sugar Daddy, primarily rated 15 and 18.Silverbird Distribution secured approvals for Rebirth of King Kong and Jurassic World Rebirth, both notable for their international appeal.
OSSYKing Movies had a consistent output with Stray Bullet, Palace of Torment, and The Cost of a Lie, all within the 15–18 range.
The Executive Director of the NFVCB, Dr. Shaibu Husseini reaffirmed the Board’s stance on guiding responsible storytelling and content regulation.
“We are committed to encouraging stories that reflect Nigeria’s values and cultural richness while ensuring public safety through proper classification,” he said.
