The Publisher of Street Journal Magazine, Mogaji ‘Bowale Oluwole Arisekola has expressed shock over the passing away of Chief (Mrs) Kemi Nelson, whose death was announced on Sunday.

The public affairs analyst and celebrity journalist in a statement he personally signed on Sunday described Mrs. Nelson’s death as “unfortunate, disheartening and sad”.

He said:

“I learnt about her death with deep shock and grief. Mrs. Kemi Nelson gave her best in strengthening APC and in any struggle in life she believed in. She was unwavering in her quest to deepen the nation’s democracy through her diligence, dedication, resilience, loyalty and sacrifice.

“Truly a friend’s death is a great sorrow for all who truly loved her. I sincerely mourn her friendship. Since our paths crossed during the AC presidential campaign in 2006, a day will not pass without talking to each other on the social media. Kemi Nelson chatted with me till last week Friday.

“She was a committed All Progressives Congress member, an epitome of decency who contributed immensely to the development of the party in Lagos State and at national level. She was an embodiment of humility and selfless service. She will be greatly missed.”

Arisekola added: “She was not only cerebral, unassuming, bold and articulate, she was also a progressive-minded personality. The APC women leader was a successful corporate player, who opted for public service and worked for the good of her people till the last.

“Only few people knew she was indisposed, but were hoping and praying that she would come out stronger and better. We were shocked to hear of her death. It is a sad news. It evokes a deep feeling of loss and sadness. She died with a lot of ideas, zeal and vision that could help in building a better Nigeria.

“I urge her family members, Lagos State government, the broader APC fold and Nigerians to take solace in the fact that the late Mrs. Nelson contributed to the entrenchment of democracy in Nigeria through her participation in politics and her steadfastness.”

The statement noted: “Her advocacy for women’s rights, social justice and genuine development marked her out as a true progressive. She was such a sweet and great soul, beautiful outwardly and in character, a leader who believed the society can be reformed for the common good. She was one of the fruits of the struggle to ensure a better participation in politics. The best tribute the people of Lagos State can pay to her is to sustain her good work of touching the lives of the weak and poor. May Allah grant her Aljaanah fidarous.”

In a dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves through Osun’s political landscape, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared Hon. Adebayo Adedamola as its governorship flagbearer after a fiercely contested primary that saw him defeat incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.

The keenly watched primary, held amid heavy security and intense party interest, drew party delegates from across the state. What many expected to be a smooth victory for the governor turned into a tightly fought race, with Fryo gaining momentum during delegate consultations and strategic bloc alignments.

According to party officials, Fryo clinched the majority of valid votes after what they described as a transparent, credible, and highly competitive exercise. His supporters erupted in celebration as the final tally was announced, chanting solidarity songs and hailing what they called “a new direction for Osun PDP.”

Adedamola, popularlcy called Fryo is said to be a close ally of APC stalwart, Iyiola Omisore. Fryo was among the people arrested over the killing of late Attorney General, Chief Bola Ige.

Political analysts say the upset signals a significant shift within the party’s power structure, as the result reflects growing agitation for fresh leadership and a repositioning of the party’s influence across local government blocs.

Governor Adeleke, who had sought the party’s ticket to secure a second term, was said to have congratulated Fryo in a closed-door exchange, though members of his camp are still digesting the unexpected outcome.

Fryo, in his acceptance speech, promised to unify the party, consolidate on its achievements, and present a formidable front ahead of the general elections. He described his victory as “a mandate for renewal” and urged party faithful to rally behind him for what he termed the decisive battle ahead.

With this development, all eyes are now on how the PDP navigates the post-primary atmosphere and prepares for a heated governorship election season in Osun State.

“Tunde Ednut earns $5,000 average per day, ISWIS made approx $200,000 from live events in one month” — Chude Jideonwo unveils creator economy data at Digital Creator Africa Summit
At the inaugural Digital Creator Africa Summit, media entrepreneur and #WithChude host Chude Jideonwo unveiled new data positioning the Nigerian creator economy as one of the most commercially powerful industries on the continent.
Highlighting explosive growth and overlooked business models, Jideonwo revealed that:
 • Tunde Ednut, the former musician turned Instagram media mogul, is estimated to earn over $5,000 a day through his platform — with a business model based on affiliate promotion, Instagram advertising, and music amplification.
 • The hit podcast “I Said What I Said” (ISWIS) reportedly made approximately $200,000 in gross revenue from live events alone in a single month, drawing thousands of fans across there US, the UK and Canada.
 • “What these numbers show,” Jideonwo said, “is that creators are no longer just influencers — they are media companies, and increasingly, nation-builders.”
The summit, held in Lagos and attended by creators, investors, and media leaders, was designed to shift the conversation from virality to value — reframing content creation as infrastructure, not just entertainment.
As part of his address, Jideonwo announced his $500,000 personal commitment to the FourthMainland Creator Fund — a catalytic investment vehicle to back high-potential African creators with funding, IP support, and platform distribution.
“We’re building the Mavin Records of storytelling,” he said. “Not just with fame, but with financial tools, ownership, and a full studio system that lets creators scale across the continent and diaspora.”
The Creator Fund is part of the broader FourthMainland ecosystem, a creator commerce platform set to launch in 2026. The platform will offer monetization tools, subscription infrastructure, and joint-IP models built around African content — positioning it as the first at-scale infrastructure for the continent’s growing $100B creator economy.
Jideonwo, whose ventures include Joy, Inc., #WithChude, and YNaija, closed with a call to funders and policymakers:
“If music had Mavin Records and tech had CcHub, then creators now have their studio systems — their Mavins — and they’re building billion-dollar value chains without waiting for permission.”
The keynote, titled “Overtaking is Allowed,” argued that Africa’s most important civic and cultural shifts today are being led by independent creators, and that media-tech infrastructure for creators is now one of the biggest opportunities for economic growth across the continent.
