Nigerian music legends are being ushered into renewed fame, decades after their prime, earning them long-overdue recognition on social media platforms, particularly TikTok.

Jump and Pass challenge

The challenge has attracted a wide range of participants, cutting across different age groups and backgrounds, with the song playing subtly in the background of each clip.

TikTok users have been using the song to creatively portray a variety of scenarios, from romantic entanglements and lifestyle choices to family dynamics and spiritual reflections.

The particular segment of the track gaining popularity forms a central part of the song’s message, and its comedic delivery has made it irresistible to a trend-sensitive audience.

Several clips using the sound have garnered thousands of likes and comments.

In many of the videos viewed by this newspaper, participants are seen leaping forward during the “Jump Am Pass” line, symbolically distancing themselves from the problematic situations they’ve dramatised in the videos.

Jump Am Pass

This Igbo gospel praise and worship track delivers a powerful message of victory and resilience, wrapped in catchy rhythms and uplifting lyrics.

The song urges listeners to rise above life’s challenges and emerge triumphant.

Its title, “Jump Am Pass”, is a colloquial expression in Nigerian Pidgin meaning “to overcome” or “to bypass” obstacles.

The track uses this phrase to encourage confidence and steadfastness in adversity. This message remains relevant today, especially as the song gains renewed popularity through an online challenge.

Just as it did upon its release, the song’s lyrics now resonate afresh, affirming that no matter the traps or setbacks laid by adversaries, believers are empowered to overcome them.

With its energetic tempo and dynamic instrumentation, “Jump Am Pass” fosters a mood of celebration and spiritual triumph, urging listeners to embrace a mindset of faith and perseverance.

The song boldly proclaims victory over trials and tribulations, echoing the ongoing challenge, reinforcing the biblical promise that God enables His people to prevail through every hardship.

Billionaire’s daughter Temi Otedola and singer Mr Eazi open up on stress, disagreements before settling on three destination weddings

Published

Temi Otedola and singer Mr Eazi have opened up about the intense stress, back-and-forth, and disagreements they went through before finally agreeing on the countries for their destination weddings.

According to the couple, planning three weddings across three countries within just three months was anything but easy.

“Three weddings in three months is insane,” they admitted, revealing how overwhelming the entire process became, especially with one event following closely after the other.

Temi shared that their original idea was to have a quiet court wedding in Nigeria. But privacy quickly became an issue.

“If we went to the courthouse in Nigeria, it wouldn’t be as private as we wanted,” she explained.

An alternative was suggested — bringing the court officials into their living room for a private civil ceremony. Temi found the idea interesting, but Mr Eazi wasn’t fully convinced.

That disagreement pushed them back to the drawing board.

Eventually, they settled on Monaco for their civil wedding, a choice Temi described as more sentimental. The UK was also considered at some point, but Temi admitted it didn’t feel personal enough to her.

What shocked her the most, however, was the reality of marriage paperwork.

“I thought getting married was just deciding and signing papers,” Temi said. “I didn’t know there was a mountain of administration.”

John Cena’s in-ring WWE career officially ended on Saturday night at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., bringing down the curtain on more than two decades at the top of professional wrestling.

The farewell headlined the final WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event of 2025 and delivered a definitive, emotional conclusion to one of the industry’s most influential careers.

Cena’s last match saw him submit to Gunther after a punishing, near 24-minute main event that blended intensity, respect and finality.

The crowd remained fully invested throughout, rallying behind Cena in the hope of a last-gasp victory that never came.

While the result shocked many in attendance, the post-match atmosphere quickly shifted to appreciation as Cena addressed the crowd, surrounded by WWE talent and staff.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes faced NXT Champion Oba Femi in the opening bout, but interference from Drew McIntyre led to a disqualification finish.

Despite the short runtime, Femi emerged as a clear winner in perception, making him a future main-event player.

Meanwhile, Sol Ruca delivered one of the standout performances of the night, defeating Bayley in a result that felt less like an upset and more like a statement.

Her athletic offence and confidence marked her as a rising force in the women’s division.

The final match before Cena’s farewell featured World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee against Je’Von Evans and TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater.

Despite the difficult slot ahead of the main event, the bout delivered action and kept the crowd engaged.

Cena exits WWE having helped elevate the company to new commercial heights, while deliberately leaving the spotlight to the next wave of stars.
