Odumeje Set To Release ‘ Powers’ In UK Today

FOR days now, videos of Anambra- based Prophet Odumeje aka Indabosky Bahose’s arrival in the United Kingdom for the much hyped show ( abi na crusade we go call am) scheduled to hold today, have been ‘ harassing’ the eyes. Every time you go on Facebook, it is one Odumeje’s video reel or the other of his arrival at the airport and reception by Nigerians you will see.

The man who claims to have “so many powers” such as Ganduka Gandusa, Sepre, Lafare Lamante, Abido Shaker, Citadel, Sanctus Sanitorias among many others he “has not even touched” save for the one he is currently using which is ‘ Indabosky Bahose’, is billed to be at the Lighthouse Theatre, London today, April 13 alongside comedians Nosa Rex, Efe Warriboy, Laffin Gas, Baba Lotija and Nollywood actress Chinyere Wilfred( she sef don turn to comedian too?).

The Pastor always warns people not to call him a comedian or jester or else..., so the question T4T is asking here is, what is a pastor doing as artiste in a comedy show? In fact, the show poster T4T saw online had Odumeje’s face bigger than the rest artistes and the show is titled ‘ Indabosky Bahose- London 2024’.

Yet he says he is not a comedian, abi? Bobrisky: EFCC Chases Flies While Lions Roam

Street Freely

LAST week, Nigerians were jolted with the news of the arrest of popular cross dresser, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju aka Bobrisky, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC). She, sorry, he, has been charged to court and convicted of the said crime the EFCC charged her ( sorry, him) with.

The anti graft spokespers­on, Dele Oyewale, while confirming Bobrisky’s arrest on Thursday, April 4, said: “Bobrisky is with us. He was arrested last night in Lagos, and he is at our Lagos command. We arrested him for alleged abuse of naira notes, spraying of naira notes, and currency mutilation, among others.”

He added: “We are very serious about restoring the dignity of the naira. Though our investigat­ion is still ongoing, but he will definitely be charged to court soon.

“We don’t have anything to do with his lifestyle ( being a cross- dresser). He was suspected of committing an economic crime and that was the reason for his arrest,” Oyewale submitted.

What bothers T4T here is that, a whole EFCC wasted time and resources arresting and prosecutin­g Bobrisky for ‘ spraying naira notes’ at a public function simply because she ( sorry, he) is Bobrisky and nothing else. If ‘ spraying of naira notes’ has become such a big felony as the EFCC now wants us to believe it is, and the body wants to stop it, more than half of Nigerians including the big men in power would be in prison today. Why is Obi Cubana still a free man after what the world saw him and his rich friends do with the naira during his mother’s burial ceremony in Oba, Anambra State about two years ago? The videos are all over the Internet. At a point, they were actually playing football with thick wads of the naira and Nigerians were hailing them. But, just to be seen as ‘ up and doing’, the EFCC made a show of arresting and prosecutin­g Bobrisky while this Saturday night, at different clubhouses, ‘ Yahoo Boys’ will be throwing monies into the air and people falling over themselves to pick them. The videos are everywhere so this is not about T4T making things up. In fact, there was this video where a couple stood during their wedding and men numbering about 50 nearly drowned them in naira notes. Would the EFCC claim not to have seen that video? If Bobrisky was arrested for alleged fraud and or money laundering, you won’t be reading this, not ‘ spraying of money’, what almost all Nigerians are guilty of, both rich and poor!

T4T does not want to believe that the EFCC are now so idle after arresting and prosecutin­g all the pretty female Ministers for public funds diversion and fraud have now turned to the likes of Bobrisky and even an akara seller for spraying money at a party. Imagine the American FBI or CIA arresting and prosecutin­g a pickpocket; that was what the Nigerian EFCC did in Bobrisky’s case.

By the way, the offence carries a six months imprisonme­nt or 50, 000 fine which Bobrisky will pick out of her ( sorry, his) pocket like she( sorry, he) wants to buy puff puff at Oshodi garage.

Shine shine notice me EFCC!

Nigerians Are Not Nice Online

IF gospel artiste, Mercy Chinwo had known that things would come to this kind of ugly state, she would have quietly not displayed her new baby on social media. She and her husband did, like other celebrity couples do, and a very ‘ unnice’ Nigerian reacted by saying the baby does not look like the father, rather, he looks like a fellow gospel artiste, Nathaniel Bassey. The baby’s picture was placed side by side with Bassey’s and T4T must confess, there was ( is) some striking resemblanc­e between the boy and Bassey. But then, some babies do look like every other persons when they are still babies and as they grow, they begin to look like the father or mother ( suddenly, T4T is now an expert on babies ‘ looks’), so, there is really nothing to worry about.
