Tolex Fuses Tradition and Modernity in New Afrobeat Anthem “Money”

Lagos, Nigeria – Rising Afrobeat sensation Tolex (real name Tolu Olufiade) returns with a powerful new single titled “Money” — a vibrant and infectious track that blends the richness of traditional Yoruba sound with the dynamic pulse of modern Afrobeat. A celebration of hustle, ambition, and reward, “Money” is already making waves across Nigeria and beyond.

Hailing from Osun State and born in Lagos on October 25, Tolex has spent over seven years crafting a sound that is both culturally rooted and globally appealing. Now based in Lagos, he has earned recognition for his lyrical versatility, seamlessly delivering verses in Yoruba, English, and Pidgin, while drawing from deep personal and societal narratives.

The release of “Money” follows the success of his bold and reflective track “Lazy Youth,” which sparked conversations about the struggles and stereotypes surrounding young Nigerians. This time, however, Tolex shifts from critique to celebration — honoring those who grind daily and reminding fans of the joy that comes with financial breakthrough.

> “I’ve seen how systems abroad reward hard work, but in Nigeria, even with all the obstacles, we must still find ways to celebrate our wins,” Tolex shares. “Money is more than a song — it’s an anthem of hope, resilience, and enjoyment.”

With pulsating beats, catchy hooks, and lyrics that resonate, “Money” delivers both a party atmosphere and a message of inspiration. Its chorus — “After money, it’s still going to be money” — speaks to the unending drive for progress and fulfillment.

As Tolex prepares for a series of live performances this festive season, he’s also rolling out stunning visuals and digital promotions for “Money” across all major streaming platforms. Fans can expect a sonic and visual feast that not only entertains but uplifts — a true embodiment of the Nigerian dream.

In an industry overflowing with talent, Tolex sets himself apart by staying true to his roots while embracing evolution. With “Money,” he offers more than just a hit — he delivers a cultural moment.

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY By Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Esq. Constitutional Lawyer and Rights Activist. Every day across Nigeria, police officers risk their lives to arrest armed robbers, murderers, kidnappers, rapists, and violent criminals. Yet, time and again, these same criminals walk free, not because they are innocent, but because the system fails at a time it matters most: the courtroom. At the heart of this systemic failure lies a silent crisis—the grossly neglected legal department of the Nigeria Police Force. Understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed, this vital arm of law enforcement is struggling to prosecute crimes, defend civil suits, or even appear in court. The consequences are grave: lost cases, emboldened criminals, and a justice system that increasingly serves the powerful while frustrating victims and ordinary citizens. This is not just a capacity problem; it threatens public safety, ...
