Cerebral man of style and panache, Emeka Oparah, has hit the information super highway with a blog. He calls it WILBERFORCE. But for easy access, you can just log on to www.wilberforce.com.ng to savour some of their good works.
Already being liked and followed by his friends, especially those who love and can’t resist his witty style of writing, incisive commentaries on pertinent national issues as well as his boldness to dissect controversial topics, sometimes involving even his close friends, without fear or favour, the blog is indeed worth checking out and also following.
Officially making its debut today, Monday, February 22, 2016, with the tear-eliciting story of his visit to Kaduna State to see the 4-year old boy, Sadiq Usman, whose eyes were plucked by some heartless ritualists as well as his plans, alongside others, to replace the innocent boy’s misfortune with massive fortune, there are also other beautifully written stories there – treating a pot pourri of topics.
Among these stories, which are obviously from his body of works published over time on his Facebook page, are How Do You Cross?, Do You Know Your Size, Guys?, Lagos Churches And Safety, Adonbelivit, Our Health And Our Wealth, Gentlemanly Response By Peter Obi, Turn Up, Turn Down, What Is This So-Called Security Vote?, PMB’s 20k To Eagles, Informed Opinion On TSA And Allied Matters, etc.
Mr. Oparah, Airtel Nigeria’s Director, Corporate Communications and CSR, has always been passionate about writing and blogging. In fact, it’s a regular occurrence on his Facebook page – where he’s very active – for his followers to ‘beg’ him to take his writing to the next level and beyond the confines of FB. Which we guess must have necessitated this.
Handsome and hairy, sound and studious, there is no arguing the fact that in so short a time, www.wilberforce.com.ng will become a force to be reckoned with in blogging. And not just blogging, but serious blogging. After all, the Igbo people have a saying that morning foretells the day. Again, the brain behind it is a trained journalist and a Mass Communication graduate of the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN). And we all know what Lions can do!
