We don’t read, do we? Post a little thing on social, once it shows ‘continue reading…’ it is already boring to people, especially members of the 3 rd world. Unless it is about sensational topics like celebrity gossip, sex and the likes, it hardly gets impressive reads.  Dear Nigerian, or should I say African, as long as we don’t take interest in healthy enlightenment, we will remain a 3 rd world race. And since there’s too much to read in too little time, we have to learn to speed-read. Remember this quote attributed to a certain Dee Lee; “if you don’t want a nigger to see this, hide it in a book”.  FIND THE FULL TEXT OF THE LETTER HERE There is also this letter of a certain slave owner in 1712, who wrote about how to keep the black man in slavery. His name was said to be William Lynch, and here is the full text of the letter. I retitled it as How to know if blacks are still slaves, because if you read through it, you can tell if you’re still being enslaved, i

Sometime in July 2016, precisely at the London Hilton Metropole Hotel, I had a heated debate with some my friends, mostly Britons on a wide range of issues of international concern, particularly, the Welfarist inclinations of PM Teresa May and the incessant terrorist attacks on France under Francois Hollande and others places in Europe. The logical insights brought to bear by these gentlemen compelled me to admit that society plays an important role in the development of one's intelligence quotient. With unprecedented ferocity and strength of statistics, these 'guys' were so opposed to the policies of the French President, whom they all agree, lacks passion and political will to guarantee adequate security in France. In the words of one of them, "Hollande has got no passion for leadership". Though their argument neglected certain cultural and historical dynamics which, if thoroughly explored, could proof my erudite friends wrong, I maintained

Between Israel and Saudi Arabia, which country should Nigeria and West African neighbors be closer to given a common security nagging concern we all have? What has Saudi offered us other than pilgrimage? The same cannot be said of Israel, can it? What then is this unspoken diplomatic dispreference  of The Muhammadu Buhari administration for Israel, a country that World powers run to for scientific, technological and security solutions? It does not matter your politico-religious affiliation. Go for it as long as it pays. Here's what Victor Oladokun, a leading Nigerian International media consultant, has to say. Thanks to diplomatic road blocks and the Nigerian Government's political foot dragging, the proposed meeting later this year between Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the 15-member nation Economic Communities of West Africa, (ECOWAS) during the annual summit in Nigeria, is in jeopardy. For the meeting to hold, Nigeria must sign-off on it. So f

By Uduak Umo - What Should Church PR Be? - What Churches Are Yet To Explore - Is Pastor the Graphic Artist? Evangelism and mainstream corporate Communication have strong similarities in strategies that I will attempt to establish here. The principles of both are the same, as are the effects and the expectations. Handbill sharing is direct marketing; Bulk SMS is direct mailing; Billboards: That’s Outdoor advertising; Saturday Door-to-door is personal selling; Jingles on radio count towards broadcast advertising; The TV and Radio sermons are in between personal selling and product tasting. Street Rallies are marketing events. Except for personal selling, the above are all essential for awareness, basically. They ‘talk at’ the target audience. If properly engaged, they may ‘talk to’. But they still don’t provide an efficient PR solution. None can be regarded by a PR practitioner as Public Relations. They are all either marketing or advertising. With PR, you will be
