 Supreme court ruling path to Labour Party's peace and unity - Otti Abia State Governor Alex Otti has welcomed the Supreme Court's decision to remove Julius Abure as National Chairman of the Labour Party. According to Governor Otti, this ruling will usher in a new era of peace, unity, and order within the party. The Governor believes the Supreme Court's judgment vindicates the party's leadership, particularly since Abure's National Working Committee tenure had long expired. This led to the establishment of a National Caretaker Committee, headed by Esther Nenadi Usman and Darlington Nwokocha, with a vision to foster peace and unity while strengthening the party. The Supreme Court's decision is seen as a step towards restoring peace and unity within the Labour Party, validating the party's leadership and the decision to set up a caretaker committee. Governor Otti has invited former national officers to join hands with the National Executive Committee and the N...

WOLE SOYINKA WORRIED OVER THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA "BARBARIANS HAVE TAKEN OVER SOCIAL MEDIA SPACE IN NIGERIA ".(PHOTO).

-


Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has opined that Barbarians have taken over social media space in Nigeria. 

 

While speaking at a function in Ogun state recently, the Nobel Laureate said that in other climes, social media is being used as a means of interaction because of the intellectual content and reasoned engagements being deployed by users but in Nigeria, the reverse is the case as those who ‘dragged it down have swapped the intellectual quotient aspect of it.'

 

He said the situation has degenerated to a level where even a mere disagreement in an election could lead to one being labelled on social media as having a phobia about others.

 

“In a situation where disagreement in an election can lead one being labelled something phobia or whatever. The social media is awash with accusations of one being a kind of ethnophobic. So strange to me but that is what we have been reduced to. And when that kind of accusation comes, there is no need or value in trying to say you are not. You just say, ‘Thank you very much! The complement of ethnophobia is ethnophilia.

I’m astonished and flabbergasted that people are so power-besotted that they can’t even accept the possibility that they did not win an election. It does not matter whether you are right or wrong or they are right. It is just a question. Take your facts to the table, let’s examine them carefully, consider the possibility that we may be wrong or you may be wrong but you don’t have to descend into demonisation of the group to which others belong to establish your point.

I don’t deal in social media. As far as I’m concerned, barbarians have taken over social media and they have swapped the intellectual quotient which used to make and still make social media valid in other societies. Here in this country, social media has been dragged down to the lowest common denominator.

However, I believe in the community of the intellect of minds and creativity to rescue us from the monstrosity that social media has become (in this country).”
