Debate On Which Of Odumeje's ‘ Powers’ Anthony Joshua Used Rages

LAST week, former boxing heavyweigh­t champion of the world, Nigeria- born British, Anthony Joshua, defeated former UFC champion turned- boxer, Francis Ngannou, in a heavyweigh­t clash as Joshua continued his bid to reclaim the belt he lost to Usyk.

That is no longer news, what is news now was which of Anambra- based Prophet Udumeje's many ‘ powers’ he used to knockout Ngannou in the second round of the scheduled 10 rounds. Recall that Ngannou gave the much feared Tyson Fury, another heavyweigh­t champion, a tough time and even knocked him down in the course of the fight when they fought some couple of months ago.

At this point, it is important that T4T gives you background informatio­n about the issue. If you have been following Prophet Odumeje online, you would, by now know, that he regularly boasts of having so many ‘ power' such as ‘ Abito Shaker’, Sepre, ‘ Dabush Kabash', ‘ Citadel', ‘ Sanctum Sanitarium’, ‘ Lafare Safere, Lamante, Baleboske Delebo, ‘ Lebadu', among others, but the one he is currently using to perform his many healing miracles on his church faithful, according to him, is ‘ Indabosky Bahose'. So, since Joshua knocked out Ngannou in round two last Friday, the debate among many social media users is, which of Odumeje's powers did he use? Different comedy skits have surfaced suggesting the particular power the boxer of Nigerian descent used. Some argued that since the right hand blow was so heavy, it sent Ngannou to sleep, it could only be an ‘ Abito Shaker' that Odumeje has not “even touched” that Joshua decided to borrow to do the job. Others claim it must be a ‘ Dabush Kabash' that can send a big and heavyset boxer like Ngannou to the canvass without the referee bothering to do the mandatory count. Another skit maker however suggested that Joshua used ‘ Lebadu' to knock Ngannou down in the first round, and since the Cameroonia­n boxer beat the count, Joshua had to deploy ‘ Sanctum Sanitarium’ as the killer blow in the second round.

After listening to everybody's argument, T4T is of the opinion that only a ‘ Ganduka Gandusa' power can take out someone like Ngannou that he had to be revived with oxygen by his medical team. The next debate might probably be, how Odumeje transmitte­d the power to Anthony Joshua before the fight.

Yul Edochie’s Only ‘ Crime' Is...

RECENTLY, Nollywood star, Yul Edochie, who sparked an unending controvers­y about himself by marrying a second wife about a year ago, released yet another video with his now not so new wife, fellow actor, Judy Austen.

In the video like other past videos, the duo were taking a dig at people who would not let them be since the marriage happened. And perhaps, the video was also aimed at ‘ peppering’ Yul's first wife, May Edochie, who has vowed that she will not welcome a second wife into her home with those her two fine hands and reports say she has filed for divorce. There is a popular Urhobo proverb that says that “a first wife that refuses to welcome another wife, should leave the marriage," guess May Edochie heard about that proverb and has decided to call it quits. But she is not leaving without a fight. May has unwittingl­y recruited an army of ‘ sympathise­rs’ on and offline to fight her battle. And these ‘ online inlaws’ have sworn never to give Yul and Judy any form of peace. They constantly troll them anywhere they pop up online, but have they succeeded in breaking the spirit of Yul and his well, new wife? Lai lai!

Yul is a man with a thick skin and he gives it back to anybody who cyber bullies him, same with Judy. Dose two people like quarrel pass fight sha. Dem nor send anybody o. And one of the ways they use in fighting back is the constant posting of videos featuring two of them. The latest video featured the couple dancing and vibing to a song with the lyrics like “if dem like make dem say you be ogbanje ( water mermaid), if dem like make dem say you be mammy water( same water mermaid), I don't care". Yul will look at Judy in the eyes when the song gets to the part of “I don't care" chorus and sang along. Well, two of dem make love come dey hungry T4T sha.

Anyway, after interrogat­ing Yul's marital issues, T4T has come to the conclusion that the only crime the actor, son of legendary actor Pete Edochie, committed is that he is not a multimilli­onaire, yet. And that is why so many sanctimoni­ous Nigerians do not want to forgive him his ‘ sin' of taking another wife. If he was as rich as that South South billionair­e ( name withheld) who married that former child actor as sixth or seventh wife, the same people hailing the young lady now for making a ‘ great’ choice would be hailing Yul.

Some holier than thou Nigerians are making polygamy look like a criminal offence in Nigeria because of who indulged in it when in the same country, we hail and eulogise billionair­es with a harem of over 10 wives. Some state Governors have over three wives and one of them fronts as the First Lady, nobody calls for their heads on or offline.

Make una free bros Yul Edochie abeg. Na second wife im marry, im nor kill person!
