iROKO Goes Global

Apologies @Ndianabasi. I should have kept my snarky comment to myself and instead posted below. So here it goes…

To answer your question @87_chuks you’re right I’m no trouble maker. However my intention is to draw attention to what I will call ‘Deity & Demons’* strand that seems to afflict us. It’s either we deified or demonised people! There’s no middle ground with us.

Without any shadow of doubt, we need our ‘heroes’. The ecosystem is fragile and still developing, so it also makes sense that their best years is still ahead of them (hopefully). To ‘help’ them doesn’t mean we say they’re equivalent to Jeff Bezos. Neither does it mean dancing in glee because they’re cutting jobs. Or questioning/deriding their motive/work.

I personally can’t stand either as I feel they’re unnecessary. However even critics have their usefulness and value. It’s a free world and people can have divergent views/opinions. Think Daedalus to Icarus before the flight.

In regards to Radar discussions and keeping your opinions private, well a think piece was penned (see below) with some good points. Perhaps a good place to add your POVs to also enrich the conversation.

*hopefully one day, I will be able to do a post shedding more light why this is dangerous.
