Teeth 4 Teeth … With Justin Akpovi-Esade

There is this young man popularly known as Ijele Speaks. He gained popularity when he began to stand up to the group of secessionists in the South East region of the country, called IPOB, formed by Nnamdi Kanu, who is doing life in a correctional facility for terrorism related offences. Ijele Speaks, in collaboration with the Nigeria military and other security agencies have been taking back towns and villages seized by the notorious ‘IPOB unknown gunmen’. His efforts have paid off and there has been relative peace and stability in the region.

Ijele Speaks does not only follow the military about, he is also very vocal about what they are doing as he is traversing all the major television and radio stations as well as Podcast shows talking about the ongoing initiative.

Typical of someone doing something that is attracting widespread attention and commendations, the propensity to ‘over talk’ often creeps in and that may be what is happening to the young man because T4T was shocked when he listened to him on Harrison Ofeogbu Podcast show where he made a rather ridiculous claim that someone high up contacted him to ‘assassinate’ human rights activist and owner of a popular online news outfit, Omoyele Sowore!

As incredible as the claim was, Ijele Speaks kept a straight face while making it and T4T was left wondering when he put out a classified advert that he was also an assassin aside being the advocate of the wellbeing of his Igbo people.

The question now is, why would anybody in government go and ‘hire’ Ijele Speaks to assassinate Sowore for his activism activities? How did that government security agent arrive at the conclusion that Ijele Speaks has the capability to carry out a government sanctioned assassination? If successive military governments in the past did not kill Sowore, why would a civilian government now that is facing all forms of scathing attacks from different individuals worse than what Sowore is dishing out, will so desperately want him dead that it would have to go and contract Ijele Speaks to do that?
Well, if the DSS is still active, one expects that he should be answering questions by now and telling the secret police the name of the person who attempted to contract him to kill Sowore.

That is how it should be done, but then, what does T4T know?

Harry B’s Unlucky Or What?
NOLLYWOOD star, Harry B is one very talented individual. He has carved a niche for himself in the nation’s movie industry and he is also a fantastic rap artiste. T4T is always blown away every time he sees his music videos. He raps in his Igbo and English languages and the energy that exudes from the over 60 year old singer is contagious. So, why

Harry B never ‘blow’ na?
Maybe, the oldest Afro pop rapper in Nigeria is too old for the genre of music he is doing, so, the youngsters that usually listen to that kind of music do not connect with him, they would rather keep embracing Phyno, Olamide, Flavour and the rest instead of a grandpa jumping around with heavy looking bling bling on his neck. Wicked kids.

Well, maybe Harry B should switch to Igbo highlife genre and be singing like late Osita Osadebe, Oliver de Coque and other Igbo highlife greats, because dis children nor wan look baba face o.
