    Kunle Afolayan laments rising incompetence among job seekers

    Famous Nigerian actor, filmmaker, and director Kunle Afolayan has expressed deep frustration over what he describes as the alarming level of incompetence in the country.

    Taking to his Instagram page, Afolayan pointed out the irony of people complaining about unemployment yet failing to deliver efficiently when given job opportunities.

    “I am so saddened by the high level of incompetence in our beloved country. A lot of people cry about not having a job, but when they get one, how efficient are they at it? I’m so pissed,” he wrote.

    Afolayan’s post sparked widespread debate on his page, with many agreeing that inefficiency in the workforce remains a pressing issue in Nigeria.

    His sentiments resonated with several colleagues in the entertainment industry, who flooded his comment section to share similar experiences.

    Actress Biola Bayo responded, “Come ask me o. They’ll apply for jobs, call for an interview and won’t show up. The ones you pick will not resume work, or the one who resumes doesn’t want to work.”

    Media personality Stephanie Coker also weighed in, saying, “I spent the whole weekend discussing this.”

    Comedian and skit maker Kiekie echoed the concerns, writing, “I am screaming!! This!! It’s alarming!! If you have all the money in this world, you’ll still not get results! The spirit of excellence is zero.”

    Uzor Arukwe: “Taking care of your woman doesn’t make you a simp

    Famous Nollywood actor, Uzor Arukwe lectures those criticizing his character in the movie, ‘Love in Every Word.’

    The trending movie, Love in Every Word, which featured Uzor Arukwe and BamBam, has been on the mouths of Nigerians since it’s release.

    "Taking care of your woman doesn't make you a simp" – Uzor Arukwe
    Love in Every Word.

    The movie portrays the largesse of the rich man ‘Odogwu Paranran’ towards his beloved.

    Some netizens have opined that the movie only depicted Igbo wealthy men as simps.

    One netizen had written …

    “Anambra man are not simps . Your movie is liked only my ladies who have always had the illusion of an odogwu that’ll spend his last dime on them.”

    In response, Uzor Arukwe noted that spending one’s money on a woman doesn’t make one a simp; rather, it’s an act of love.

    He wrote …

    “Taking care of your woman and spending money on her doesn’t make you a simp. It only makes you a responsible man. How else do you show love to your partner if you can’t take care of their needs from the abundance of your wealth? 😊”

    He described Asake as a “day-one friend,” emphasizing their deep connection and shared memories from their time at the university.

  • Ijoba Lande: Real reason I opened up on my wife’s infidelity

    Ijoba Lande: Real reason I opened up on my wife’s infidelity

    Popular Comedian and skit maker, Ganiyu Morufu, popularly known as Ijoba Lande, shares with AYOOLA OLASUPO the reasons he accused his estranged wife of infidelity and how their marriage deteriorated over time.

    Can you tell us about yourself?

    My name is Ganiyu Kehinde Morufu. I’m from Osogbo in Osun State, but I grew up in Ilesha. I was a vulcanizer when I was in Ilesha. When someone has not yet reached where he or she is destined to be, that person will continue hustling. So, I went to Port Harcourt, where I worked as a lottery agent. Some things happened there, and in 2010, I had to travel to Mowe-Ibafo in Ogun State to start a career in acting.

    While I was learning acting there at that time, it wasn’t easy as a man to be in the limelight, especially if one isn’t rich. At that time, filmmakers were not using me. They would say I didn’t know how to act. So, I decided to hustle more. I had experience as a security guard in Ilesha, and I joined a vigilance group in Mowe, working with them for two to three years.

    I then used the money I made from there to produce my first movie, which I titled Ijoba Lande. I came up with that name when I was doing the vigilante job. There was a police post at Ofada, which is now a police station, but they didn’t have enough officers. So, I was working with them as one of the security guards.

    People had been calling me Lande even before I left Ilesha. There was a day I beat a little girl, and she called me ‘Lande lande ori’ (big head). When she said that, I kept beating her, and she kept repeating the same thing. That’s how people started calling me Lande. Whenever they did that, I was always angry. When I got to Mowe, people started calling me Ijoba because of the security job I was doing. So, that inspired the title of my first movie, Ijoba Lande.

    How long have you been with your wife?

    I’ve been with my wife since November 2022.

    How many children does she have for you?

    She has only one child for me; a boy, but she had two other children for someone else before I married her. She gave birth to my son on November 5, 2023.

    What attributes did you see in your wife before marrying her?

    Before I married her, I saw her as a good person, and from there, we tried to observe each other  for a while before we later decided to marry each other. I never knew someone could pretend the way she did. I didn’t see her as having any bad character. I saw her as a beautiful and good lady then.

    How many months or years of courtship did you have with her before marrying her?

    I think our courtship lasted not more than six to seven months before I married her. I met her in 2022 and got married to her that same year.

    When did you start suspecting your wife of infidelity?

    To be sincere, I never suspected her of such at first. When people said bad things about her, I used to swear that such could never happen. So, I never suspected her until December 2, 2024. If I had been smart enough or not love-blinded, I should have observed her character between June and July 2024, because that was when we stopped having sexual intimacy as husband and wife.

    Why did you stop having sexual intimacy with her?

    I went through a lot some years ago and I was depressed. She would always say that she was even more depressed than me. She would tell me that her hormones were giving her a very low libido. So, whenever she said that, I would always believe her, being my wife. I even tried to buy things to improve her libido, but she would say nothing was wrong with her and she would always complain of low libido. I didn’t know she was lying to me all this while.

    What early signs did you say you ought to have noticed around July 2024?

    I should have suspected her when she prevented me from having sexual intercourse with her. I should have known that she was already seeing someone else outside the marriage because when a woman has started trying all means to make sure her husband doesn’t touch her, something must be fishy. But I wasn’t thinking in that direction at all because I was plain with her.

    What evidence do you have against her?

    I cannot tell you until she comes online to say I am lying. I can prove my accusations against her. You know that it’s not easy for me to come out and say all of those negative things about someone who has a child for me. In fact, it didn’t occur to me to say it, and I am not happy saying it to the public, but I don’t want to lose my life. That’s why I spoke out. Before I could make such a big allegation, you know it would be a very big case for me. So, I needed to hold on to something to back it up.

    Can you clarify why you said you don’t want to lose your life?

    I said I didn’t want to lose my life because I have evidence; pictures and videos.

    Did you catch her red-handed with someone else?

    How I caught them was that someone hinted me in December, but I didn’t believe it. I wanted to confirm it. So, I contracted someone who did something to her phone that allowed me to track whatever she was doing with her phone. I used that to monitor her. I was tracking her phone, and whenever she switched on her mobile data, I would see everything on her phone. I never did that to her in four years until December last year when I started suspecting her.

    What last incident prompted you to call her out online?

    She left my house on January 2, 2025.

    Why did she leave your house?

    We were doing a group contribution, and she was the admin. One of her friends, who was my manager, did not pay her contribution on time, and my wife tried to fight her. I urged her not to because the other lady always kept her money with me. I told my wife that paying the contribution would be difficult for someone who keeps money with me often, and maybe the person didn’t have the money at that time.

    I told her, ‘Na me wan collect the contribution that November.’ So, she should hold on. I told my wife that the other lady would pay whenever she had the money. The same thing happened again when another person was about to receive the contribution, but my wife’s attitude had changed towards me in the house since that July.

    I didn’t realise in time that she was only trying to do some things to incite my anger. She wanted me to fight her so that she would have an excuse to leave my house. That was why when my people came to my house and saw the way she behaved to me, they saw me as ‘mugu or didinrin’ (gullible or foolish). That was because whatever she did, I would always behave as if she was right. But I didn’t want her to go.

    What happened after her attitude changed?

    She left my house in January; she left with my baby. I told my family, and they said I should go to her mother’s house, and when I got there, her mum didn’t even bother to ask about what happened between us. She just carried the baby and gave him to me. That’s how I left their house. But I noticed that the day she left my house, she dropped my baby off with her mum before she went to meet another man. Before she left, she took the money I received from my contribution and lent it to the same man.

    There is this Divisional Police Officer who really likes me, and because of that, the DPO likes her too. So, when they saw my video interview online, the woman called me. When I got there, I met her (estranged wife) and she didn’t even bother to greet me. The DPO asked if she didn’t see me. Then she started saying all sorts of things to the DPO. The woman asked what our problem was about, and I explained everything to her.

    Did your wife show any remorse after that?

    My wife was not remorseful and was even telling the DPO that we were not married. I was surprised when I heard that, up to the extent that the DPO was also angry that she made such a statement. My wife was even cursing me in front of that DPO. So, about 30 minutes after I was going back home from the DPO’s office, the man whom my wife was going out with then sent me a threatening message saying, ‘If I no wan die, make I no put him name for the matter. Shebi na my wife fall in love with big boy.’

    The man said I should go and look for money and stop talking about him. I also have the guy’s contact and it’s a foreign number. I have blocked him, so I can’t see his status. People screenshot what he posted on his WhatsApp status and showed me.

    He said, ‘He no dey forget and hin go murder anybody wey do am bad thing.’ He snatched my wife and was still threatening me. His number on my phone and the one people showed me both correlated. It was that thing that made me speak out before anybody kills me. I didn’t know that my wife did not love me. She left because she realised that I was no longer rich like before. When she left, I had only N7,000 left in my bank account.

    Have you confronted your wife before and what was her reaction?

    Yes, sometimes I would wake her up in the middle of the night to ask about what was going on, but she would assure me that nothing was wrong. She would even curse herself whenever I asked if she was seeing someone else. My wife would vow that since she married me, she had never had any extra-marital affairs. Those things made me believe her.

    Do you have any doubts about the paternity of your son?

    To be sincere, I can’t say for now, but I will later do it. The boy really resembles me. I love him and he loves me so much too. But with the evidence that I have, what her friends told me about her and her promiscuity, it’s only a DNA test that can tell the truth. In about two or three months, I’ll get the DNA test done.

    Have both families intervened in the matter?

    Before the issue escalated, all my family members; my dad, elder and younger brothers, called her. They made efforts, but she did not respond, so that was why my dad said I should go to her mother’s place.

    Don’t you think you did something to her in the past that caused her to change her attitude?

    I can say it boldly that I had never reported her to her parents before, and she had never reported me either. We’ve never fought to the extent that she would angrily leave my house for a whole day since the day we got married. That has never happened before. It’s not as if she changed, actually.

    I think she had been promiscuous since I married her, but I didn’t know until now that I was made to understand the situation. I was able to confirm that, especially now that I am no longer financially buoyant like before. It was even some of her friends who told me about her infidelity, and I have a lot of evidence to that.

    You are now separated and not legally divorced. Do you plan to seek divorce?

    The reason why I didn’t take any legal steps was that we had a traditional wedding. We didn’t do a court wedding because nobody has ever done that kind of wedding in my family before. She had been disturbing me about that for more than two years, but I refused because I don’t like it and I don’t understand.

    Will you forgive your wife if she repents?

    Sincerely, God is the forgiver of all sins. I’ve forgiven her for everything she did to me, and I’ve left everything for God to judge so that I can also receive God’s forgiveness. But for her to come back to my house, that can never happen.

    Who is your child staying with now?

    He’s staying with me.

    Do you see the matter as a blessing in disguise?

    Yes, I see the issue as a blessing in disguise. I know that I am a glorious child, and when I started acting, my glory started shining little by little, and people loved me until I got married and everything turned upside down. Now that we are no longer together, things have started changing for the better again. I was also pained that she left, but I’m just happy that she made me know on time.

    10 biggest record labels in Nigeria

    In this story, we take a look at the record labels in the country which have via their artists; success and hit-making power proved to be the biggest record labels in Nigeria. 

    Biggest record labels in Nigeria and their Logos
    Record Labels Logos

    The Nigerian music industry is one big marketplace with each person about the different ventures that pay them; primarily musicians working and distributing their music with record labels and distribution or licensing companies they already struck individual deals with.

    And in other cases, musicians operate all on their own, setting up shop with whatever they have and hoping for the best end of the business. Just like any superstore, these record labels which musicians get into to push their music to the next frontier all have different and unique ways of doing business as well as unique perks which members of the public may be unaware of as their main concern remains the end product; the music and the musicians.

    Lately in the Nigerian music scene, as the goal of Western domination becomes more actualisable, all thanks to world-bridging technologies and the almighty internet, the rush has become even madder, underlining the need for strong record deal backings to help artistes reach their goals. In this story, we take a look at 12 of the record labels in the country which have via their artistes; success and hit-making power proved to be the biggest record labels in Nigeria.

    First, What is a Record Label Company?

    Record labels are companies, large or small, that manufacture, distribute, and promote or market the recordings of affiliated musicians which are established by the signing of a record deal. The name “record label” is originally from the paper label at the center of a gramophone record. Record labels engage in a wide range of functions in the music industry, including new artist recruitment and development (known as A&R, which stands for artist and repertoire), music publishing, and copyright enforcement.

    Who are the Biggest Music Labels in Nigeria?

    1. Mavin Records

    Having just recently celebrated their 10 year anniversary in an industry where the spoken consensus was that there was no structure, Mavin Records ability to find some of the most promising talents and establish them as superstars has them holding down an undisputed spot as one of the biggest, most loved and most respected labels in the country. Owned by Don Jazzy who has a double decade worth of experience working with artistes in Nigeria, and oodles of goodwill from the Nigerian populace, the label’s clout also comes with strong financial backing from international investors in Kupanda Holdings which is a joint venture owned by Kupanda Investment and TPG Growth which has

    backed multinational companies like Uber.

    Mavin Record itself has now grown into a business entity complete with a holding company with Mavin Holdings and an imprint label with D Prince’s Jonzing World which has Rema and Ruger as its artistes.

    With Rema, Ayra Starr, LadiPoe, Johnny Drille, Crayon, Magixx, Korede Bello and Boy Spyce on their roster, the label in fact seems set for further greatness and dominance into the next decade.

    2. Spaceship Records aka Spaceship Entertainment

    Biggest Record labels in Nigeria
    Artistes, producers and staff of Spaceship Records and Buju

    Spaceship Records may not have a long list of popular recording artistes but it does house Grammy-award-winning Burna Boy, the one true African Giant, Nissi, veteran music producer and the Grammy award-winning producer, Telz. All of these backed by their impressive repertoire of global collaboration deals, global deals with Atlantic Records and Bad Habit as well as campaigns and tours off the back of their flagship star, Burna Boy, makes them eligible for a claim to the title of being one of the biggest record labels in the country.

    Founded on the 18th of February in 2015, by Burna Boy after his exit from Aristokrat Records, Spaceship Records is a primary company of Spaceship Collective which is the holding company that houses the record label as well as the publishing company, Spaceship Publishing. A family company true and through, the holding company is owned by none other than the energetic momager, Bose Ogulu with Burna Boy himself as the executive director and his sister Ronami as the creative and branding director.

    While the record label company indeed seems like a close-knit affair, it is important to note that it once housed new school sensation, Buju and has displayed an acute sense in working with the best talents and in Burna Boy’s case, continues to do so in sparkling colours.

    3. Davido Music Worldwide aka DMW

    If every record label has their strong suit and unique face, DMW definitely wears the cap of being the most popular thanks to the label’s ability to leverage off the fame, prestige and largesse of its founder, Davido. Founded in 2016 after Davido left HKN Music, DMW also comes with a list of music industry favourites such as Peruzzi, Dremo, Yonda and DJ ECool while also moving the conversation of female inclusion forward with their latest addition, Liya.

    DMW’s popularity and prestige has also been able to take flight due to the rapport the artistes obviously share and have transposed unto frequent well-received collaborations in the past.

    DMW has also been able to make their mark with the success of their flag bearing artiste and founder, Davido who continues to rake in megadeals and make mega moves.

    4. Chocolate City

    Biggest Record labels in Nigeria
    M.I Abaga, DJ Lambo, Abuchi Peter and others

    One of the few labels that made our childhood fun and served to bring our music stars closer, Chocolate City is by itself a teenage record label with 17 years in the music game. Over this period, the label has given us golden memories with music from former signees such as Brymo, Jesse Jagz, Ice Prince, Jeremiah Gyang, Koker, Victoria Kimani and more. The label was also instrumental in establishing the second wave of the Nigerian hip-hop era with rappers like M.I Abaga, Jesse Jagz and Ice Prince. It also helped inform the current experimentation of Afropop by endorsing and signing the likes of Dice Ailes and CKay, whose Love Nwantiti, off his EP, CKay the First, was initially distributed through them and now jointly in collaboration with Warner Music.

    Chocolate City is however not to be conflated with the group as it operates as a subsidiary of Chocolate City Group, which is one of the biggest entertainment conglomerates in Africa. Other arms of the group are Chocolate City Distribution, Chocolate City Events, CCX and Chocolate City Media. On 28 March 2019, Warner Music Group announced a partnership with the Nigerian label Chocolate City. This deal enables Chocolate City artists join WMG’s repertoire and receive the support of the company’s distribution and artist services.

    Chocolate City continues to keep up with the current pulse of Nigerian music and add fresh life to it even with their artistes from veteran rapper, M.I Abaga who is set to release a new album, Young John, following his transition from music production to include music recording on the highly successful Dada, indigenous rapper Candy Bleakz, new age rap favourite, Blaqbonez and Afropop singer, Noon Dave.

    5. YBNL fully known as Yahoo Boy No Laptop

    Biggest Record labels in Nigeria
    Olamide and his star singer, YBNL

    When music genres are listed in the country, the conversation is often whittled down to Afropop which is the new phase of Afrobeats, hip-hop and sometimes RnB, but space is never held for the street-hop scene which has been a veritable subgenre and culture since Olamide hit the music space in 2010 with Eni Duro. The veteran Indigenous rapper has since that time-worn many caps but continues to hold the door open for the subgenre and promising acts with his record label, YBNL which was formed in 2015.

    From then till now, YBNL has proved instrumental in spotlighting acts in the street-hop scene and beyond. A bumper-to-bumper list of talented and interesting acts, YBNL’s rich history counts acts like Viktoh, Temmie Ovwasa, Davolee, Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold and others as former signees. In 2020, the record label which is home to DJ Enimoney, secured a distribution deal with Empire, an Empire distribution and record label company and has been able to shoot current acts such as Fireboy DML and Asake as well as Olamide himself, to fresh new heights.

    6. NATIVE RECORDS

    Native Records is a UK-based Nigerian label that has emerged as the powerhouse behind Africa’s alternative music revolution since it went public in 2022. Founded by the Nigerian magazine, The Native, as a division of the Native Networks, industry visionaries Seni Saraki, Teni Zacchaeus (TeeZee), and Sholz Fagbemi, are in charge of heading the label.

    The label’s strategic partnership with Def Jam Recordings has opened new doors for African talent on the global stage. Through artists like Odumodublvck, Smada, and Native Sound System, they’ve created a unique sonic identity that blends street-hop authenticity with an alternative edge. Odumodu was the first to be signed by the label in 2022 on the 23rd of November, then 6 days after, TeeZee announced the signing of Smada.

    What sets Native Records apart isn’t just their roster but their vision of African music’s future. By bridging the gap between street culture and experimental sounds, they’re crafting a new narrative in the Afrobeats story, one that celebrates both innovation and authenticity.

    7. Starboy Entertainment

    Wizkid and his Starboy artiste, Terri

    2020 was the year of Wizkid’s Made in Lagos but till date, the streets are still hot with records off the album, making it one of the most successful projects out of the African continent and cementing Wizkid’s status as a global star and like his record label’s name, the Starboy.

    Named after Wizkid’s moniker, Starboy Records was founded in 2013 following his exit from Empire Mates Entertainment and while Wizkid himself bagged a deal with RCA Records, the star continues to distribute his music through his label while the latter gets exclusive licensing deals.

    In the past, Starboy Records has also been home to the top acts like Mr Eazi and LAX, Efya, Maleek Berry and others. At present, it caters to Terri, DJ Tunez and maestro producers, Legendury Beatz.

    8. Empawa Africa

    The Biggest Music Labels in Nigeria - Empawa
    EmPawa People

    While EmpPawa Africa isn’t an actual record label as they’re geared to help independent artistes get the best of the music world, the facts remain that the company has over time built itself up as a formidable label services company. Cut and dried, EmPawa Africa is a label services company that provides Distribution, Publishing administration and Marketing for independent African artists and labels with aim to empower artistes become music entrepreneurs.

    Founded by Mr Eazi in 2018, the singer who’d initially only hoped on becoming a businessman and not a musician has due to the business model of his company, been able to establish EmPawa as one of the most recognisable label services on the continent with an extensive roster of artistes from Nigeria, Africa and even North America. Currently, some of their most notable partners include Joeboy, Fave, DJ Neptune, Tanzanian Nandy, Killertunes as well as J.Derobie from Ghana among other.

    9. FlyBoy Inc

    Music Labels in Naija
    Kiss Daniel

    Currently, conversations have been swirling all over the Nigerian internet sphere regarding Kizz Daniels and the need to give him his due flowers following the relish and commercial success his Barnabas EP and Buga single have been met with.

    All of this is also doubly noteworthy as the artiste keeps a super low profile and for the most part is only in the news for his music. Kizz Daniel has been able to pull this off with his record label, FlyBoy Inc which he found in 2017, after leaving G Worldwide.

    While Kizz Daniel is currently the only act signed to the label, FlyBoy Inc had in the past signed two artistes; Demmie Vee and producer, Philkeyz. Fly Boy’s act Kizz Daniels, also works with Empire who distributed his critically acclaimed Barnabas EP.

    10. Squareball Entertainment

    The musician to record label owner pipeline is one that is clearly up and actively running in the Nigerian music industry but for Squareball Entertainment, the narrative takes a slightly different angle which is just as inspirational as the other. Founded in 2010, Squareball Entertainment was brought to life by video director and cinematographer Adasa Cookey who is also founder of Squareball Media Productions under which he made a name for himself directing music videos.

    Despite having just one artiste on their payroll with 1da Banton, Squareball Entertainment has been able to make a name for themselves with the massive cross-platform charting success of his No Wahala hit. No Wahala also got remixed by music bigwigs, Tiwa Savage and Kizz Daniel, a further indicator of 1da’s success as well as the goodwill of his record label.

    He expressed that Nigeria’s development is being hindered by the outdated thinking of the older generation in power, who, according to him, lack the vision to introduce innovative ideas that could transform the nation.

    VeryDarkMan particularly addressed Seyi Tinubu, noting that as a young person with direct access to power, he has a unique opportunity to drive change.

    He urged Seyi to learn from the progress in other parts of the world and advocate for similar advancements in Nigeria.

    Part of his statement reads: “Seyi Tinubu, I feel the need to say this to you. Your father is old, and the people around him have dusty brains filled with cobwebs.”

    “I don’t mean this as an insult, but I know exactly where I’m going with this. You are the closest the youth have ever been to power, and there are so many things you can help us achieve.”

    “Coming to China has opened my eyes to endless possibilities that Nigeria can emulate. Honestly, I feel like we need a train that brings every Nigerian here and takes them back, just so their eyes can be opened.”

    “There’s so much potential in Nigeria that’s being wasted because the old men in power can’t see it — but you, Seyi Tinubu, you can see it because you have the privilege of coming here and witnessing it firsthand.”

    As VeryDarkMan’s statement circulated online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to share their thoughts and reactions.

    See some reactions below:

    @sami_oamen: “China cannot be world power when Mandarin is only spoken in three or four countries and almost everyone spends dollar. US is still world power. Language and currency matters in becoming the world power.”

    @JacobAmeh6: “Hope you have enough security that can protect you from you know you know. I’m only saying this because I care about you.”

    @ayowole_obi: “Very solid points, I just don’t agree with things he said about the people around the President. Some of those people are working while the others are not doing well.”

    @chillywills23: “I hope Tinubu hears and sees this without feeling disrespected.🙏🏿. I hope he acts.”

    @_savinha_: “American investors gave some youths funding money, them go do obleh with it. Problem full this country.”

  • Court adjourns Portable’s case

    Court adjourns Portable’s case

    An Abeokuta Magistrate’s Court has postponed the hearing of the alleged assault case involving popular Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable.

    The adjournment aims to allow the prosecution to consolidate his charges with those of his employees.

    During the court session on Wednesday, Senior State Counsel Timileyin Oredein requested that the cases of Portable and his workers be merged, arguing that conducting separate trials would be a waste of judicial resources.

    Timileyin Oredein reminded the court that the singer and nine of his workers had initially been arraigned on February 6 for similar offenses.

    He urged the court to provide a short adjournment period to enable the prosecution to substitute and consolidate the charges before the trial proceeds.

    The charges against Portable and his workers include conspiracy, assault, unlawful obstruction while in possession of cutlasses and a firearm, and conduct capable of inciting public disturbance.

    Additionally, they were accused of assaulting three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.

    The court subsequently granted the prosecution’s request, scheduling the next hearing for March 26.
