NOTE FROM OKENE IN AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO A NOTE FROM ATALANTA.
By Otori Ozigi
This short note was provoked by a useless and inconsequential irritant based in far away Atalanta,USA.
He prides him as a PhD holder in mass communication and a so-called Professor teaching nonsense in a backwater University.
All my life I have never seen a so-called Professor who can not communicate in simple prose so that the ordinary people in Nigeria can understand what he is saying.
We know him as a failed journalist and opportunist who Japa to escape hunger in Nigeria and his home town in Lafia.
He had no impact in journalism at all while he was an Editor with one of the regional newspapers in Nigeria.
I studied Media management in one of the best Universities in Miami, Florida,USA and returned home to continue my valuable and impactful career with one of the few reputable organizations in Nigeria where I had a successful career as a Public Relations Officer for over 2 dacades
This was at a time people like my socalled professor were killing themselves to japa to any foreign country.
I don’t know any sane person who would take journalistic license to speak big big grammar that is not easy to find in Oxford dictionary.
And he calls himself a PhD holder in mass communications, for that matter.
My daughter in Junior secondary school in Okene here can communicate better than this self acclaimed Professor.
Let me remind him that he should return home and get himself in tune with what is happening in the country today.
He has lost touch with the social economic and political reality in Nigeria.
He should stop viewing his fatherland from the negative news from foreign newspapers and television stations that delights in painting Nigeria and the rest of Africa black.
He should be reminded that nobody is impressed with his useless grammar while trying to dabble into topical and contemporary issues clearly beyond his shallow brain wave.
Nigeria is already blessed with home based Public Affairs analysts like the likes of iconic Jide Ojo and other great mass communicators who understands the peculiarity of the present day Nigeria better than this foreign based busy body Professor.
Let me remind him that Ebiraland presently have no fewer than 200 iconic Professors who can defend their thesis and character anytime any day.
So what is the big deal in this Oluwole and Jankara market PhD holder who can not carry his audience along with his useless analysis on political events in Nigeria and Kogi State in particular.
He should return home to his cows and goat’s in his town if he can not get a teaching appointment in any of the Universities in Nigeria.
Patriotic Nigerians abroad with more edifying academic pedigree and rich professional resume have started returning home, particularly under the present administration of President Bola Ahead Tinubu to contribute their quota to nation building.
If our Professor is not buoyant to foot his air tickets and other logistics we can organize a fund raising event for him.
He should stop disturbing our sensibilities and peace with his negative interventions in our national life.
This is just a short note from Okene to put him on the right track.
Professor my foot
Yeye man.
