Preamble:
Recently, I was on transit to the South Eastern part of Nigeria after about 7 hours 49 minutes on road, covering some 474 kilometers from Lagos, when the good news of a colleague’s political appointment was proclaimed and some associates tried to run over themselves in the spirit of ‘breaking news.’ Fortunately within a closed association we needed to issue a formal congratulatory message, of which I was able to generate despite my poor location network-wise; having searched the World Wide Web (www) for the promoted colleague’s profile to no avail.
