Dear Man Of God, You Missed It!
T4T stumbled on a video online earlier this week where popular Pentecostal pastor, Femi Lazarus, was detailing what a gospel artiste charged a pastor (no doubt, it was him) to perform at a church crusade. He was trying so hard to demonise gospel artistes as if they have no right to even charge a dime for performance since they are singing for ‘God’, if one is to draw inference from what he said.
Maybe Mr. Lazarus should also tell us what pastors charge other pastors to preach at their crusades because Dr Abel Damina had told us how he paid first class plane seats for an American pastor and his sidekick, paid in full thousands of dollars as honorarium, on his insistence, to attend his crusade. If pastors collect different levies from members, why won’t gospel artistes charge them too? Don’t gospel artistes have mouths to feed? Who dey hungry fit open mouth sing to the glory of God? If what Lazarus displayed in that video is not hypocrisy, then, maybe, there should be another dictionary meaning for that word.
Who Will Beg DSTV For Us?
SINCE January this year, Pay TV outfit, DSTV, has been on a content repeating expedition that has left many of its subscribers, including T4T, reeling and wondering what really is going on. It is no longer a secret that T4T’s favourite channel is the AfricaMagic Yoruba, but as things stand, he may be forced to look elsewhere because every time he tunes in, he is slammed with a movie he had seen more than 200 times in the last couple of weeks. He tried the Hollywood movies channels, na the same thing. In fact, the producers of Rampage and Jurassic Park may soon sue DSTV for over repeating those two movies almost on a daily basis. The annoying part here is, DSTV increases its subscription every other quarter of the year citing high cost of running business in Nigeria and one can understand that angle, but if you increase your subscription, can you at least acquire new content? You short change subscribers by repeating the same content they have seen year to year and they keep paying more for that?
What really is the job of the NBC in this country aside sitting on their fat ‘yanshes’ and collecting salaries monthly?
What’s Up With These Two Nollywood Actors?
THERE are two Nollywood actors that look alike: Dan David and Stephen Odimgbe. They talk, walk and act like each other, and T4T is now forced to ask, who is imitating who? They are both fair in complexion, with the same style of beards and this kind of forced American accent laced with a heavy Igbo accent in the background. It’s not been long T4T noticed David but he had been seeing Odimgbe around for some couple of years now, but this is not to say that David is the imitator here o, but if he is, then, he is doing a great job of it because he must have sat down, after someone told him he looked like Odimgbe, and thoroughly studied his style and way of acting. Again, this is not to say David is the imitator here o. T4T was watching this Nollywood movie, City Madam, directed by CJ Ezeugwu, headlined by David and also featured Sarah Avwomakpa among two others and at a point, he had to double check if David was not actually Odimgbe. It was that bad, or rather, should T4T say, good? The next assignment for T4T is to find out if both actors are related by blood or this is just a case of one having a doppelganger.
Time To Tell This Yoruba Actor this…
THIS is a hard one for T4T, but he thinks it is high time he told this Yoruba actor, Jamiu Azeez, not to ever, again, expose his lower body in a movie, and by that, T4T means, he should not attempt to wear shorts in any movie scene. And so, T4T was watching this Yoruba movie, titled, Ariran, directed by Afeez Owo and featured of course, his wife, Mide FM (the movie Afeez nor direct sef, you mus to see Mide FM inside talk less of the one im direct?), Mercy Aigbe, among others, and it got to a scene where Jamiu was seen on a couch wearing a short and talking on the phone. The dark patches on his knees and shin as well as his elbows were clear indications of a once successful skin bleaching turned sour!
This is not saying that Azeez had once upon a time bleached or attempted to bleach his skin, no, far from it, but if you had seen one of those women hawking ‘paraga'(local gin) on Lagos streets and looked at their skins, especially the knuckles, how black and thick they are yet the other parts of their bodies are slightly fair, you will understand what is being said here. Bros Jamiu, if you dey rub small cream to ‘yellow’, abeg stop am. You are handsome and dark and okay the way you are (were), abeg.
