Popular content creator and screenwriter Hauwa Lawal has come under heavy criticism over a social media comment she made about Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).

Hauwa, on Tuesday, November 5, replied to a tweet by Spiricoco Twitter about the hours Muslims pray and how the issue of its productivity
“Muslims pray 5 hours daily. That is 5 economic hours devoted to religion. Muslims make up for more than half of the population of Nigeria. If we want to draw a false correlation between religion and productivity, we shouldn't compare religion with the best university in Nigeria.” SpiricocoNG tweeted.

“It’s just cruise,” Peller, Jarvis clear the air on N30 million tumour surgery help
Earlier, TheRadar reported that popular Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, made a U-turn on his call to help raise N30 million for his colleague and girlfriend Jarvis to undergo tumour surgery.
Jarvis earlier opened up about her jaw tumour a week after online critics alleged that she abandoned her career to just be Peller’s girlfriend.
In an Instagram video on Tuesday, October 29, Peller, who had earlier called for the N30 million surgery help, disclosed that he was only joking about the financial help. He noted that Jarvis was perfectly fine.
