PR Consultants Commend Buhari For Banning Importation of PR Professionals

The Public Relations Consultants Association of Nigeria (PRCAN) has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the Executive Order making it unlawful to grant visas to expatriates to come into Nigeria to render professional services, which could be otherwise provided by Nigerian professionals. President Buhari's has protectionist economic policies According to a statetement issued in Lagos and signed by the association's President, John Ehiguese, and Publicity Secretary, Israel Jaiye Opayemi, PRCAN described the Executive Order as "exceptional, courageous and an act of nationalism which puts our country first over and above the popular penchant of government officials for all things foreign, and particularly Caucasian." PRCAN, the regulatory body of Public Relations consultancies in Nigeria, described the Executive Order as a valid extension of the "Buy Nigeria, Save the Naira" campaign of the Federal Government of Nigeria, which a large

Nigeria: Adesina as Buhari's PR disaster

In love, opposites attract; in politics birds of the same feather flock together. President Muhammadu Buhari deserves Femi Adesina as much as Goodluck Jonathan deserved Doyin Okupe and Reuben Apati. Donald Trump deserves his Sanders. That is how it works. Buhari and Adesina It used to be that an image-maker is as close to his principal as a skin to the body. It is so arranged because the principal knows that in a world where negativity makes the best news, a wink from an image maker could help mitigate disaster and that not all questions deserve an answer. As Buhari's spokesman Adesina is not assured the privilege of travelling with his principal. I'll bet his presence is not required when his boss meets the global press he craves. Adesina wrote himself into appointment, but he's absent when needed to coach his principal on how to anticipate crises and diffuse explosive situations. He'll be considered lucky if he gets his principal's schedule in th

IN NIGERIA 'POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND'. REALLY? PR LESSONS FROM THIS...

According to the theory of cognitive dissonance, "The mind cannot hold two contrasting ideas at the same time, the mind either accepts or rejects the new idea". (based on Socio-Psychological or socio-cultural biases). The police's mantra says, *"Police is your friend"*, The people say, *"Police is not our friend"* (according to an NOIPolls, 52% of respondents said 'No' to the question 'would you say a police officer is your friend?'). One of the ways of removing/reducing cognitive dissonance is to present the new idea from another angle. CSP Dolapo Badmus has done a marvelous job in finding a new angle. She is doing a very good job telling the story of the police through entertainment and using it to connect with the youths. And I must say, people love her especially on social media. I don't think there has been any police spokesperson that has enjoined this type of popularity & admiration among civilians. Bu

Deploying Social Media In Public Relations

Are you sending out press releases and waiting for the media to write about you? Are you wondering how you can integrate social media with public relations? As professional PR experts, these among other things are involved in our daily tasks. Instead of waiting for the media to write their story, as organizations media eyes and mouth piece, share those stories via social media platforms. More especially, those platforms activities are coordinated by you. Try these few thought of mine: ctsy: dorisgross 1. Include social sharing If you need to write a press release, find a way to support and extend the message via social sharing. In Nigeria and worldwide today, keep in mind that journalists rely heavily on Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and other platforms to source and research stories. When you share your story socially, you are meeting them where they are instead of interrupting them in their inbox. For example, a story about a charitable contribution would translate

Manuel Music Set To Debut With 'My All' - Press Release

As Emmanuel Kingsley, he has a track out already, but this is a whole new quality and whole new air although he has stayed true to his flair in Gospel Rock music - now as Manuel Music. By June 20, 2018, his first song under the re-branded Manuel 'My All's will hit the market. Produced by the legendary King Baseda, 'My All' involves a lot of sugary metal strums. Not too heavy, not too drastic, just courteous. Simply irresistible, that's the melody. The introduction of strings, low notes, curious stops, orchestra elements at points in the track make the entire production a sensation. The ear does not want to miss out on this cross-cultural favorite by June the 20th. This publisher will release a free download link on the release date. (Release Distributed by Jabborro PR)
