My 2nd Letter to Tippa Irie- Lavender Hill

Dear Tippa,
I hope this letter finds you in the best of health. Hahahaha. Do you remember that letter you wrote to that chic (lady) when you were in form one? You started by saying “the brightness of this day has stimulated my senses to collaborate with the heavens to write you this missive”.  Anyway that is not the issue.
I just realized something that has been taking place in Opana’s country. It has to do with early morning shows on TV. These days everyone wants to be a TV celebrity. Even the Shaolin Temple occupants. Before I continue, let me ask you “who is an Honorable? who qualifies to be addressed as an honorable? Before you answer that, can you believe the President’s executive secretary was addressed in a letter as H.E? Is it for His Excellency or ….? I remember a lady pastor asked to be addressed as Reverend Father. Address; address; address. Are they envelopes to be addressed?  With which stamp and at which Post Office?
Son of Man, I believe to be called Honorable comes with a lot of respect. I believe it comes with some responsibility and acting with dignity. I dare to say one must have some level of integrity.  Some of these so-called sit on panels on these morning shows and spew garbage. Their utterances leave much to be desired. The language used is setting a bad example for the youth. I am equally appalled at the language used in describing women.  Is it the arrogance of wealth or of title that makes them behave as such? Are they not Homo sapiens ?  Can I call them aliens? It is as though some of them are incubator babies. Why is The Lavender Hill situate in their mouth or abdomen bringing forth trash? I hope the NMC boss will do something to curb this menace to society.  Big brother, please do something.
I am very upset because no one is doing anything to stop it. Not even my clergy. ( Charley you hear the Osofo wey talk the gay people dem issue? Another matter oooo)
Some of them talk with the arrogance of a dead goat eeeiiiii sorry I mean a dying cockroach. But….

Tippa , this letter should have talked about “them” but this matter was making my stomach very upset.  Anyway my greetings to the family.

My next letter will be on Valentines Day!

Mad love always.
