Teli-Flenjos, a musical production by Nigerian-born Joel Ijejeme debuted recently on New York City Community television, Queens Public Television, QPTV.

“I am excited for the opportunity given me to be a producer on such international platform in one of the biggest cities in the world,” said Joel Ijejeme, former staff of the Nigerian Television Authority, and some other private television stations in Nigeria.

“I give thanks to almighty God for the opportunity. I wasn’t expecting it and maybe it has to do with the good job I have been doing producing Teli-Flenjos on YouTube and other social media platforms,” Joel told the New Americans magazine.

Joel said he created TELI-FLENJOS, a Christian musical compilation on Facebook, and YouTube to express his professional training and actualize his desire to return to the television after leaving Nigeria.
