When the history of Fuji Music will be written in Nigeria his name must hold prominence. Ayuba is not the run of the mill kind of Fuji musician you see everyday rather his rarity makes him special.
Scandal Free, Urbane , Polished, Intelligent and Good business acumen are words that best qualifies this Fuji Artiste.
Ayuba has been singing since childhood. He released the song Bubble and Mr Johnson in 1991 and 1992 under Sony music and the songs became instant hits.
Ayuba termed his kind of Fuji music BONSUE . While reminiscing on how the word Bonsue was created he said it is a name his mother use in making jest of him every time she sends him on an errand and he forgets what he ought to buy or do. She will say Bo, Bo, Bo, Bonsue. Just to keep the memory of that Yabbis Ayuba decided then to brand his Fuji BONSUE.
Because Ayuba has been on active music stage since over 40 years a lot of people think he is well over 60 . Little did they know that his consistency has kept him on till date.
While the Fuji music brand keep growing in leaps and bounds thanks to icons like Kwam 1, Sefiu Alao, Kollington Ayinla, Obesere, Pasuma, etc Ayuba and some of his other contemporaries have also been trying collaboration with different hip hop acts. For Ayuba he sees it as a movement hence his Single Kolobakoloba which he released about a year ago was used to test the waters. According to Ayuba he said the idea is in a bid to have songs that will also play in disco hall.
Ayuba’s songs are reformatory and focuses on cultural activities in our traditional institutions ie Marriage, Naming Ceremony, Family, etc
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.

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.

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.
