My life got better after Mohbad’s death — Singer’s father
Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer, Ilerioluwa, aka Mohbad, has revealed that his life got better after the death of his son.
Aloba revealed this in an interview with a media personality, Akin Abolade, popularly known as Mrlilgaga, on Wednesday.
“Let me just say yes, my life got better after Mohbad’s death because he is my friend. He had it in plan to do many things for me but they didn’t allow him to do them.
After his death, it was the spirit of Mohbad, and that of God combined together that began to send people to assist me.
“Even the car and everything I have now, it was people that gave them to me and it is beyond ordinary. So it is the spirit of Mohbad and God that led those people to give me all I have now.
“Those were the things he was meant to be doing for me, but they didn’t allow him to do them,” he added.
Clarifying insinuations towards those accused, Mohbad’s father noted that he was laying emphasis on his son’s wife (Wunmi) and her family, adding, “They did a lot concerning that boy (Mohbad).
All his landed property is in their possession. Even the land he bought for me to build a church, I forced him to buy and mold the blocks on it, which was later used to bury him.
“Two weeks before his death, he took me to the house he wanted to buy and told me he was going to buy it after the completion of his tour, for which I know he had completely paid.”
He also said the birth of Mohbad led him to become a singer after the money from the naming ceremony was stolen, stressing that his late son became a backup singer for him at the age of one.
Aloba mentioned that he is a carpenter, singer, and pastor, although he does not have a church. He added that his son had promised to build one for him before his death.
The father toured his new block industry with the media personality, showing his new truck and Toyota Highlander vehicle gifted to him by Nigerians who were compassionate about his son’s death.
He also revealed that he has released about nine tracks since the death of his son.
On 11 September 2023, MohBad died in Lagos at the age of 26.
A nurse who was reported by his spouse to have administered a Tetanus vaccine to him was arrested and found to be an unlicensed nurse on 19 September 2023 by the Lagos State Police Command.

Papa Ajasco rebrands as Bondu Alaska
” Ladies and Gentlemen, good morning Nigerians. My name is Bondu Alaska. The one and only Bondu Alaska. I want to use this medium to thank Nigerians because they have done a lot for me in my life. I’m a new person now, and I promise that I will not let you down”.
Abiodun Ayoyinka, the veteran actor behind the iconic character Papa Ajasco, is now bearing a new stage name called Bondu Alaska.
The move follows a public dispute with Wale Adenuga Productions over the use of the Papa Ajasco brand.
In a video announcing the rebranding on Instagram, Ayoyinka expressed gratitude for the support he received following his recent viral interview and promised to make a fresh start as Bondu Alaska.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, good morning Nigerians. My name is Bondu Alaska. The one and only Bondu Alaska. I want to use this medium to thank Nigerians because they have done a lot for me in my life. I’m a new person now, and I promise that I will not let you down”, he said.
He has since then changed his Instagram handle to @bondualaska_ and is encouraging fans and brands to connect with him under his new persona.
The rebranding appears to be a strategic response to legal constraints related to his Papa Ajasco role.
Hollywood and martial arts legend Chuck Norris, the iconic tough-guy actor known for his unbreakable on-screen persona and the long-running TV series Walker, Texas Ranger, has passed away at the age of 86.
Norris died on Thursday, March 19, 2026, in Hawaii following a recent medical emergency that led to his hospitalization, according to multiple reports and his family’s announcement. He was surrounded by loved ones and passed peacefully.
“It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning,” the family stated in a post on Instagram. “While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.
“Born Carlos Ray Norris on March 10, 1940, in Ryan, Oklahoma, he rose to fame as a world champion martial artist before transitioning into acting. His breakthrough came in the 1972 film” The Way of the Dragon”, where he famously battled Bruce Lee in the Colosseum.
Norris went on to star in a string of 1980s action hits, including the “Missing in Action” trilogy, “The Delta Force” , and “Code of Silence”, cementing his image as an indestructible hero who delivered justice with roundhouse kicks and steely resolve.
He reached even wider audiences as Cordell Walker in the CBS series Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001), which ran for eight seasons and became a cultural staple with its mix of martial arts, moral lessons, and high-kicking action.
Beyond the screen, Norris inspired the viral “Chuck Norris Facts” internet meme phenomenon in the mid-2000s, where exaggerated jokes portrayed him as superhumanly invincible jokes that fans playfully referenced even in tributes following the news of his death.
Norris was also a U.S. Air Force veteran, author, and outspoken advocate for fitness, faith, and conservative values throughout his later years.
His passing marks the end of an era for action cinema and has drawn an outpouring of tributes from fans, fellow actors, and admirers worldwide.
