Pretty cool how Mark Zuckerberg quietly slipped into Nigeria, takes his business directly to the stakeholders without involving the crazy and wasteful government protocol of Nigeria.
Some "Smart Alec" government officials would have written up a budget of N100 Million for hosting him, they would av provided 20 truckloads of "godogodo" Policemen to terrorize innocent Nigerians just going about their lawful businesses.
Some political lowlifers would have tried to gain some mileage from that by claiming he brought Zuckerberg to Nigeria, a billboard would have showed up in Owerri few hours later showing Okorocha and Zuckerberg in Lagos.
The Zuckie guy would have been distracted and only about half of what he sets out to do would have been accomplished due to some "jibiti" state protocol.
Isn't it just cool that all the "Oniyeye ale Amudas" were ignored.
My Take:
What else to say about Nigerian politicians?
We don't have natural disasters(hurricanes, earthquakes,typhoons,Tsunamis and others)in Nigeria but our selfish leaders and internal colonialists are worst than all those natural disasters combined together.
Yes! We can never give up to demand for credible,visionary and responsible leadership.A word is enough for the wise. Plenty words no go full basket.
In terms of PR, Mark Zuckerberg has done one hundred times what our Governments has not been able to do in all its foreign trips.
In just one day he showed the world that.....
1. Nigeria is not ravaged by Boko Haram.
2. Nigerian youth are not drug pushers and fraudsters but successful entrepreneurs.
3. There are hundreds of Nigerian Business start-ups to invest in, with potentials for high returns.
4. That photo of him jogging on lekki- Ikoyi bridge will promote Lagos a lot more than the (wasteful) venture last week in London.
5. Nigeria is a safe place to walk on the streets.
6. That Nigerians are a great people.
7. He ate our jollof rice. No Ghanaian friend of mine is ever going to fight me over Jollof rice again. Case closed.
Copied..
