Nigerian Diplomats Are Incompetent: A Rejoinder to Hakeem Babalola's Article

By Bankole Okuwa

First, allow me to make a general statement about us that we are all responsible for the hopeless situation we have found ourselves as Nigerians either in Hungary or any other foreign country. Though the bad eggs in our midst are the direct causes of our general malady, yet we all have to bear the brunt together.

Second, the Nigerian government from time immemorial lacks efficiency and ability to handle the problems of Nigerians anywhere on the globe including at home. Our Embassy officials are uncouth, untrained, impolite, irresponsible and outright lazy. They antagonize Nigerians that they are supposed to serve. They treat non-Nigerians better than Nigerians they are supposed to serve.

As a person, I hesitate to relate with them because they are in foreign lands to serve their personal interests. They are the most unprofessional diplomats I know. It is a shame. I am not sure the Hon. Minister Ojo Maduekwe knows or is aware of what I am saying here. That is the way it has always been. May be they are not well trained for the job.
Third, the Hungarian government reads about the massive corruption in our country. The Nigerian elite is absolutely dishonest and corrupt at home. All foreign embassies in our country send all these horrible news to their home countries regularly and so what do we expect the result to be.

The pastor of the Redeemed church of God of Nigeria has just purchased a trans-atlantic airplane, a 707 aircraft. Is n't that something? The Pope who is a head of the Catholic church and also head of the state of Vatican which is a member of the United Nations does not possess a jet plane. We are deep in a character crisis as a people and we are being destroyed and maligned everywhere by our in-depth corrupt life.

May God come to our rescue. Amen. Nigerians in Hungary may continue to appeal to God for His mercies. I don't know what the result will be.

Bob Marley: A Prophet Remembered

Remembering A Prophet

For a man or woman to be born great, his or her story must reflect that of an archetype. It must have a powerful and ever growing resonance that embodies among other themes: political wisdom, metaphysical and artistic insights. The story of a legend won’t complete without gangland warfare and periods in a mystical wilderness. To be born great means to enjoy an icon-like status more akin to that of the rebel myth of Che Guevara than to that of a pop star. To be born great means to survive an attempt to be silenced. To be born great means to perform in front of 80,000 crowds with bullet wound two days earlier. To be born great means to be simple despite the stardom. To be born great is to be Bob Marley...Read more
