Our Clueless President…

Bob MajiriOghene Etemiku -
I first saw that irresponsible phrase on Facebook after those bokoharamic bombs began to fall on churches in the North. Our people were aghast at the seeming inability of the ‘government’ to do something about the very well organised arrangement by very well placed persons to give the dog a bad name and hang it...

Facebook etcetera, the new Zapitski

Bob MajiriOghene Etemiku -
Who really is Mark Zukerberg, aka the founder of Facebook? How old is he? How possible is it for a school drop out and for a chap less than forty years old to develop so novel an idea just for the sake of socialising? Did he really ‘originate’ Facebook or is he just a front for an elite intelligence network?

Collapse The States

Bob MajiriOghene Etemiku -
Nigeria is presently governed and populated by rudderless leadership – and as well by such terrible followership to the extent of being led by the nostrils like some Elizabethan or Shakespearean mob. Otherwise, how can one rationalise the recent clamour and support for the creation of states...

New Pope, new churching…?

Bob MajiriOghene Etemiku -
If you are in any position of leadership whether physical or spiritual,  the litmus test to the efficacy of your leadership or the legacy you leave behind is in your ability to grow your own people to be as successful as you are. If your people don’t have light, you should not have light...

Redefining our sports agenda

Bob MajiriOghene Etemiku -
I belong to the school of thought that avers that football has an over bloated ego in this country of ours. I do not believe that football engenders unity, or subscribe to the wishy-washy thinking that football unites us...
