Social media has once again provided plenty for Nigerians to talk about, from a singer apologising over old posts to a viral video involving a Cybertruck in Lagos.
Here are five things generating attention online on Friday, September 25, 2026.
1. Mavo Apologises After Old Posts About Davido, Other Stars Resurface
Nigerian singer Mavo is facing fresh attention online after some of his old social media posts resurfaced, prompting criticism from social media users.
The singer has now apologised for his past comments about Davido and other Nigerian entertainers.
Mavo acknowledged that some of his earlier criticisms had hurt people and said his views had changed over time.
According to reports, he explained that he was more focused on criticising other artistes during his university years but later changed his outlook after meeting some of the people he had previously spoken about.
His apology has now become one of the talking points on Nigerian social media, with users discussing whether old posts should continue to follow public figures years after they were made.
2. Sabinus Reacts As Video Of Agberos, Cybertruck Owner Goes Viral
A video showing an alleged confrontation involving a Cybertruck owner and men described as agberos in Lagos has generated reactions online.
The footage attracted the attention of popular skit maker Sabinus, who reposted it and expressed frustration over what he described as an “agbero pandemic” in Lagos.
Sabinus questioned the conduct of adults involved in such activities and said he had become cautious about speaking on the issue because of the reaction it could generate online.
3. Ademola Lookman’s Moment With His Father Gets Nigerians Talking
Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman has also found himself in the middle of a positive social media conversation.
A video showing the Atletico Madrid forward speaking with his father after Nigeria’s final training session in Uyo has attracted attention from football fans.
Lookman’s father was at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Thursday as Nigeria prepared for its 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Madagascar.
The simple father-and-son moment has been warmly received online, coming as Nigerians turn their attention to the Super Eagles’ latest assignment.

The movie, directed by Fatimah Binta Gimsay, features actors including Lateef Adedimeji, Susan Pwajok, Omowunmi Dada, Linda Ejiofor Suleiman, Scarlet Gomez and Uzor Arukwe.
