Buhari Vs Twitter: The Inglorious War!

The deletion of a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari by twitter and subsequent suspension of the social media platform by the Federal Government of Nigeria has generated intense debate within and outside the shores of the country.

While the resolution of the disagreement might not be coming in the next few days, it invariably signals the commencement of soft conflict between Buhari/Nigeria and twitter-a conflict that could stretch beyond the ordinary.

Despite the stated reasons by both parties in respect of the actions they took over the said deleted tweet, it is now difficult to see who will blink first considering the various socio-economic factors at play, including power and sovereignty.

To put it mildly, this is an inglorious war nobody saw coming and one that nobody needs at this time.

Time for reason to prevail!

How FIFA Can Revive its Brand Image

Former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner, who was one of 14 people indicted in a massive bribery scandal, vowed to reveal new evidence against the world soccer's governing body and its embattled president, Sepp Blatter. It's just the latest blow to a brand in crisis. Right now, FIFA is engaged in a high-stakes "win or go home" game of penalty kicks, with the sponsors who line their pockets with billions of dollars on the offensive side of the shoot-out getting ready for their kicks, while its own embattled brand is in goal, gearing up to block and deflect anything that comes its way. Meanwhile, a global consumer audience that has celebrated the game for generations is blowing the whistle and pointing to the penalty spot, its trust on the line.
