If you are a media political enthusiast and you don't know tolu ogunlesi then you are not complete. Barcanista really needs to learn one or 2 things from these, I have a word for online political analyst. 'always seek relevance to stay relevant'.

Apart from the military officials, Buhari has only appointed News men, Garba Shehu, Adesina and Ogunlesi.
This government is going to rule through Twitter, this is why it was wrong to vote an illiterate.

Twitter may have won Buhari the presidency, twitter can't sustain his grip on power though.


Jumping the gun. Buhari's eagle

I just came across this and I must admit, I'm a bit perturbed:

This message is for Nigerians whether PDP or APC apologist. Christian or Muslim. Let's pause for a minute and think about the way we fight corruption in Nigeria.
Last week, The former governor of Jigawa state was arraigned by EFCC alongside his children for receiving N1.35 billion kickback from a government contractor. Few days later, he was flown to Abuja and granted bail on self recognition!.
So he is a free man now at least till next 7years, because case no dey finish here till minimum of 7years. Now, calculate what tax payers are losing:
1. N1.35B +
2. EFCC officers salary + time spent on the matter that could have been used more judiciously +
3. Legal fees. Keyamo and Co will collect nothing less than N50m to prosecute any case.
At the end of the day, the court will give a verdict that this man is not guilty of N1.35b fraud then he will go home on self recognition. So the more you steal the more you will be recognized as VIP in Nigeria.
Is this type of anti corruption war making sense at all. Please let us think and act now.

The same way media propaganda on NTA and AIT against Tinubu and Buhari has helped PDP to win. He can use Radio Biafra if he likes, he will be kicked out the same way GEJ was kicked out if he fail to perform.

God bless Nigeria, my beloved country.

Flat-heads are not to be entrusted with such overly sensitive positions.

When the time comes for PMB to appoint a special assistant or minister for special duties or any other "not-too-serious" role, expect a Flat-head to be appointed.

And you think SA "New" Media is a serious role right? Yorubastard Monkey!

Jonathan was trying to fight it in his own ways by strengthening institutions, FOI, PIB and a whole lot of ways. These was the strategy even Transparency international acknowledged and our corruption index fell consistently under Jonathan.

But then the propaganda machines came and told us Jonathan is the father of Satan and Buhari is the mother of Angel Michael. Typical of Nigerians we go for miracles instead of reality. Now we are back to the crude old way of fighting corruption which has never worked and will not work!!

If Barcanista had stayed with the APC, maybe, just maybe he will have gotten the position of SA New Media.

Don't worry 2019 is just around the corner, Barcanista, your time will surely come.

Re: Buhari To Name Journalist, Tolu Ogunlesi, SA New Media by Gboliwe: 5:45pm On Jul 16, 2015
Of all the twitter noisemakers (the Omojuwa, Ogundamisi etal) Ogunlesi is the one with the broadest mind. During the lagoon era with Nze Akiolu, he was the only one amongst those noisemakers who stood firm and condemned the pronouncement of the Nze. I don't follow him on twitter but he is a facebook friend and him and Jideonwu seem to have the same kind of mind. I can stand these ones. But Omojuwa and Ogundamisi? Those ones are irritating noisemakers

talk2smat:
President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Tolu Ogunlesi, a journalist, as his Special Assistant on New Media. Officials at the presidency told PREMIUM TIMES Mr. Ogunlesi has undergone security screening and his appointment is to be announced in the coming days. Mr. Ogunlesi is one of Nigeria’s most active Twitter users, and was clearly in favour of Mr. Buhari’s election in the 2015 general elections.

He will be the Buhari administration’s social media anchor, a role played by Reno Omokiri for former President Goodluck Jonathan. Mr. Ogunlesi describes himself as a poet, photographer, and fiction writer. Before his appointment, he was a freelance writer, contributing articles to various publications, mostly abroad. He also syndicated opinion articles in many Nigerian newspapers, including PREMIUM TIMES.

Mr. Ogunlesi, who trained as a pharmacist, worked as Features Editor for the defunct 234NEXT newspapers. In 2009 he was awarded the Arts and Culture prize in the annual CNN Multichoice African Journalism Awards. He won the CNN award again in 2013 in another category. He was also shortlisted for the inaugural PEN/Studzinski literary prize.

Mr. Ogulesi tweets via @toluogunlesi and has 143,000 followers.

Japhet Omojuwa do not want government's appointment at the moment. This is a statement of fact. If he wants there are many open positions he can serve. You guys should keep out of this hate in everything.

Nice one, I remember working with him in Visafone Comm then. Bad news for the anti buhari e-warriors- (barcanis.. and co)

Barcanista would have gotten this role, if on the other side. Bro don't be deterred.

life's more than what you studied in school
 try following what you are passionate about
 and stay on it... this is what usually happens

Congrats to Tolu, the Pharmacist turned writer.
