Ruger’s 'Asiwaju' spends six weeks at no. 1 on the Turntable Nigeria Top 100

“Asiwaju” tallied 2.81 million streams (No. 1 for seven weeks) and 78.9 million in radio reach (No. 1 on radio for six weeks). The song has spent a total of six weeks as Ruger keeps rewriting his personal record for longest No. 1.

Additionally, “Asiwaju” tallied 78.9 million in radio reach during the week of January 13 – 19, 2023 – setting a new record for the biggest week by any single on radio. It breaks the previous record held by Kizz Daniel & EMPIRE’s “Cough (ODO)” [76.6 million in radio reach during the week of October 21 – 27, 2022]

“Asiwaju” is still a long way off the record for longest No. 1 song ever in Nigeria (11 weeks by Omah Lay’s “Godly”) and one of its closest challengers in the coming weeks is “soso” by Omah Lay.

Kizz Daniel’s “RTID” holds at No. 2 for another week; 70.8 million in radio reach (No. 2 on radio) and 2.71 million streams (No. 3 in streaming). “RTID” holds a slender lead over this week’s No. 3; “soso” by Omah Lay which tallied 2.75 on-demand million streams (No. 2 on streaming) and 61.4 million in radio reach (No. 3 on radio).

Zinoleesky’s “Personal” holds at No. 4 for another week after peaking at No. 3 while Mavin All-Star former 1-week “Won Da Mo” No. 1 is steady at No. 5 for a second successive week.

Young Jonn’s “Xtra Cool” remains at No. 6; it peaked at No. 1 for three weeks in 2022 while Seyi Vibez’s “Chance (Na Ham)” ascends to a new peak of No. 7.

It tallied 1.09 million streams (No. 10 on streaming) and 37.2 million in radio reach (No. 10 on radio) during the tracking week. “Chance (Na Ham)” is Seyi Vibez’s highest charting single ever in Nigeria.

Victony & Tempoe’s “Soweto” re-enters the top ten at a new peak of No. 8. The song previously peaked at No. 9. Interestingly, the last time “Soweto” was in the top ten of the Nigeria Top 100 was ten weeks ago – week of October 28 – November 3, 2022. An increase in activity on radio is responsible for the ascension on this week’s chart.

Rounding out the top ten; EMPIRE & Kizz Daniel’s “Cough (ODO)” slips to No. 9 while Asake’s “Joha” dips to No. 10. As a result, Asake extends his record for most consecutive weeks with a top ten song in Nigeria to 49 – three weeks shy of a full year with at least one top ten song in the country.

Just outside the top ten, Rexxie’s “Abracadabra” with Naira Marley & Skiibii jumps to a new high of No. 16 (it is expected to make top ten push next week) while Libianca’s “People” rockets to No. 43.

NYSC Mobilisation & Academic Standards – Raising quality or adding pressure on students?

On September 29, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a reform linking the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation process to the National Policy for the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD). By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). This policy aims to improve academic standards, ensuring that no student skips essential academic requirements before entering the NYSC scheme . On the surface, this sounds like a laudable idea, but a deeper look reveals a different reality. In many universities, students are allowed to graduate and mobilised for NYSC  ...
