TEETH 4 TEETH ...
Like Leopard, Like NTA
THERE is an old African saying: “The Leopard does not change its spots”. Yes, indeed, the big wild cat does not really change its beautiful spots. This saying applies to our darling Nigeria Television Authority, NTA. Since the early 70s when T4T started watching programmes on NTA, nothing much has changed. And so, on Thursday, April 8, 2021, for want of something to do, T4T, decided to revisit the television channel after so many years and the programme on was Newspaper Review, around 7.24am. One would not want to talk about the bland and uninspiring colour texture, even with the hi- tech TV it was being aired on, but the programme itself.
There was this irritating external noise coming from the studio and in the midst of it, one of the presenters lost audio sound. What would shock anybody followed. The host right there on air told the presenter; “Your audio is not going out, your audio is not going out...”
Then everybody paused, and the next thing, the programme ended abruptly. CASE CLOSED!
So, NTA is still like this since the time we were watching Hotel de Jordan? Haba! And to think it prides itself as the ‘ biggest TV network in Africa’???
Which Africa abeg?
Still On NTA...
T4T was still not discouraged after the Newspaper Review disappointment, so he rode on faith to hang on to the station that morning. What was really wrong with to T4T, only him can tell sha.
The next programme on schedule was Good Morning Nigeria. The topic of discussion was Insecurity. The guests were introduced, and the programme kicked off. This particular guest, all dressed in a Civil Defence uniform ( he looked like a big oga of that corp) was repeatedly being introduced as Commandant of the Civil Defence Corp. I guess the man was tired of the misrepresentation, he had to cut in and say, “Sorry, I am not the Commandant o ( the ‘ o’ was added by T4T for emphasis), I am the Assistant Commandant”.
See me see wahala! The lady host wan sack bros from work? Was she not aware that oga Commandant was watching the programme that morning from home or office? And he will be like “ehen, they are introducing him as ‘ Commandant’ and he has been quiet, this man is eyeing my position, he is ambitious. I always see it in his actions and words. Now, I have confirmed it. Okay, let him finish that yeye programme and come to the office. His transfer letter from Abuja to Maiduguri is being typed”.
May our ‘ village people’ not use willing tools to remove food from our mouth. SOMEONE SAY AMEN!
The message here is, so the host of the programme did not get the bio of every guests present before going on air? All these civil servants broadcasters will never change!
Ibinabo In The News Again
PRETTY Nollywood actress and former Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN president, Ibinabo Fiberisima is in the news again. T4T was prowling the Social Media accounts of celebrities during the week; he rested when he got to IB’S Facebook Timeline. Why? There was a video she posted and it was just wise to view the video before moving on.
The actress who celebrated her 50th birthday recently was shown in the video extolling the ‘ virtues’ of akara ( fried bean cake) and akamu ( pap) as she voraciously devoured the meal. The excitement and the way she was praising the popular breakfast meal of some Nigerians was like one who discovered a new vaccine for the cure of the deadly virus, COVID- 9. Na wa o! Na ordinary akamu and akara naim make Ibinabo siddon for ground for the video dey eat and run commentary like late Ernest Okonkwo wey dey run commentary for Green Eagles match in the 80s?
Who Is After Tony Okoroji?
C
HIEF Tony Okoroji, you know him, yes, you do.
Okoroji is everything, former PMAN president, COSON chairman, intellectual property rights activist, big event planner... in fact, Okoroji is everything!
But that is not the issue here. Everyday Okoroji wakes up, someone or a group of people are always after him for different reasons and he does not get tired of shouting from the roof top about it. There is this weekly column he writes, Saturday Breakfast With Tony Okoroji. If you want to know the new set of people chasing Okoroji upandan without success, just go to his Facebook Timeline first thing every Saturday or nor worry, it is widely circulated on popular online news medium.
Why do I have this feeling that the people chasing Okoroji about see him in their dreams every night and this intensifies their resolve to continue the hunt in the day.
Anyway, T4T has known Chief for over two decades now, the bros nor dey give up. If you face am, e go face you. And Okoroji sabi carry person go court! If you breathe one kain pass e front, fiam, Okoroji don fire papers, na court be dat and e case na kpangba. Judge sef dey tire.
If in doubt, ask Charly Boy, Onyeka Onwenu and that popular Nigerian newspaper ( name withheld). Dog nor dey chop dog, so, I nor go mention the newspaper name for hia, if you like, go use Google find Tony Okoroji Vs..., na you sabi be dat.
