Segun Awolowo junior has a new play ground - and it is the
social media.
The game he plays is competing for attention
.
Here are the details
The rich take their pleasures sadly, after the fashion of
whatever seems to be trendy. Hence it is not in habit but in novelty and the
passé that many a man pursues vainglory and pleasure. But what manner of vain
gloriousness would drive Segun Awolowo Jnr, the publicity-loving grandson
of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, to engage in a desperate jostle for the
limelight? What shade of vanity would drive him to engage in intense
competition with local stars on the narcissist's coven called INSTAGRAM, for
social correctness and youth appeal?
Perhaps the type that drives the proverbial old woman to channel and relive the pleasure of youth and her famished beauty in grandiose and evanescent dreams. As you read, Segun is engaged in a feral and frantic hustle in the now fashionable quest for the juiciest portion of the spotlight on the social medium.

Segun’s photo ops with President Buhari, Vice President
Osinbajo and some governors are been posted on various social media by Segun
himself, especially on his Instagram page, as you read. Whatever the
colouration given to the story of his meeting with these men in power, truth
is, Segun in desperation to be part of the loop and his juvenile quest for
social appeal embarked on a social buff up and image waxing venture in order to
beat the local artistes at the game and if possible, outshine them.
Segun has devised means to perpetuate his hankering for
elitist consumption and status enhancement, and if it means seeking or buying
an audience or photo ops with the crème of Nigeria’s powerful men, so be it.
Interestingly, however, where was Segun when President
Buhari was a pitiful presidential hopeful and Vice President Osinbajo was just
an ordinary citizen? Segun is just an attention seeking man whose claim to fame
was being the grandson of Awolowo. Perhaps friends and family with his best
interest at heart will stage an intervention soon for his sake and persuade him
to quit his infantile lunge for relevance and the spotlight.
