Opinion;Shekau's Enlistment On Times Magazine An Affront To Nigeria By Ublaize by Ublaize: 12:04am On Apr 18, 2015 |
"There's no so such thing as bad publicity". This saying lately, has been given credence to by Times Magazine with its' enlistment of Shekau as one of the hundred most influential people in the world. In the last 24 hours, the social media have been awashed with Shekau making the list. Notably, Buhari and Chiamanda did same. With due respect to the past and present inductees, I have always ruminated on the yardstick for such enlistment. I thought good deeds alone, hold sway for such. This remains faux to me and its' process lacking objectivity. Today, my trepidation and disdain have been brought to bare. Shekau making the list of hundred most influential people is an affront and show of insensitivity to the Nigeria people by Times magazine. How can Times magazine forget the several bomb blasts that have snuffed lives, properties, crippled cities and the economy of the North west et al;all masterminded by Shekau and his draconian group? The #bringbackourgirls campaign is still on and few days ago marked its one year of struggles and solidarity. Far away in the North east our, gallant soldiers are viciously combating the insurgents and they record deaths everyday. Shekau and his group have no doubt meted unprecedented pains to Nigerians and also threatened our existence as one yet, all Times Magazine could do was to enlist him as being influential. I have been waiting impatiently, for Nigeria's media houses to read the riot act to Times Magazine and smear them with invectives but that isn't forthcoming. Should we begin to see terrorism and violence as ways to being influential? *Ublaize 70 Likes 6 Shares |

He was list as one of the influential people for destabilizing GEJ govt and not for anything else. why didn't they enlist him in the previous ones? why na that GEJ as been defeated of the presidency? The aim as been achieved so he is na awarded for ensuring that GEJ govt was painted black by the people. 66 Likes 7 Shares |

Terrorism is captivating. That is why they do it, that is why they kill, to gain attention. So yes, he is influential - he has captured the world's attention. Just as Bin Laden did. Just as the Red Brigade, Bader Meinhof and other European groups did in the 1970s. Just as the IRA did. Just as ETA have done. Violence captures the imagination. 4 Likes |

This is the core reason why I hate the West and their useless parochial ideologies - magnifying a heartless terrorist! Why would they ever think of it? How would our gallant soldiers who died and keep dying fighting that beast feel? Time... if Shekau had bombed your HQ, would you have had enough foolishness to add him to that list? This is an affront and brazen disregard to our nation, our government, our displaced people of the NE, our Chibok girls, the ongoing fight against terror, the thousands of lives lost to terrorist attacks and all our gallant soldiers dead and alive. How I wish I can have a private meeting with the peanut brain that approved this rubbish. I would sink a strong hard knock into his empty airhead!! 18 Likes 1 Share |

GEJ wld have still performed if he had the political will.Do u recall the insurgency brought abt Almajiri schools? Inferring form your comment, he was doing a master's bidding-the west? |
