World Leaders Are Citing Game Of Thrones In Meetings, Nigerian Leaders Have Not by massmediang: 3:12pm On Apr 30, 2019 |
Game of Thrones could arguably be described as the most popular TV show in the world today. Evidence exists in the fact that works leaders are citing the show in meetings to make points in international political arena. No Nigerian leader has cited the Game of Thrones in any setting, making someone to wonder whether the nations leaders follow major TV series as their counterparts in the western world. Does it mean that Nigerian leaders do not find the need to keep in touch with emerging trends in international arena so as to understand what such citations mean in politics? This interesting piece posted on Quartz provides insight on how world leaders are citing Game of Thrones in meetings. The whole world loves Game of Thrones. Everyone is betting on who will die next in the treacherous tale of life in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, where any character might be felled at any moment. The fantasy show seems to be influencing everything from baby naming to fashion to office dramas—and now global politics. This month marked the start of the HBO show’s eighth and final season, and references to the tale by George RR Martin have been proliferating among politicians. In the US, Donald Trump tweeted a GoT meme ahead of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report into Russian meddling in US elections. Meanwhile, 2020 presidential contender Elizabeth Warren wrote an essay entitled “The World Needs Fewer Cersei Lannisters” in The Cut (paywall) about why the character Danaerys Targeryn—aka Mother of Dragons and Breaker of Chains—should sit in the iron throne and rule the fictional kingdom. In India, the government is posting GoT-themed memes on social media to encourage voting in the ongoing parliamentary elections. And in China, president Xi Jinping is earnestly referencing the show in talks with foreign leaders.

Why should they when we have other things to worry ,they haven't cited locally made ones is it foreign one they should cite?. They should think of how to improve our movies instead of patronizing foreign movies. If Hollywood movie makers didn't get support they wouldn't be wear they are today |
