Internal Facebook drama over VP who likes Brett Kavanaugh

-


On message boards and internal emails, hundreds of Facebook employees have protested Kaplan's appearance at the hearing. Some suggested that it gave the impression that Facebook was siding with Kavanaugh, even as he stood accused of sexual assault. One employee called it "a protest against our culture, and a slap in the face to his fellow employees."

In a staff meeting last Friday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg defended Kaplan's decision to attend the hearing but said it was not something he himself would have done. On an internal message board, chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg said she thought it was "a mistake for [Kaplan] to attend given his role in the company."
"Sexual assault is an issue society has turned a blind eye to for far too long — compounding every victim's pain," Facebook said in a statement. "Our leadership team recognizes that they've made mistakes handling the events of the last week and we're grateful for all the feedback from our employees."

Media Mogul, Dele Momodu on Tuesday said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is the reason some Nigerians still have hope in President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration. Momodu stated this while describing Osinbajo as pillar of APC administration who has made significant achievement in the past few years. He noted that Nigerians would not have noticed the weakness of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration if Yemi Osinbajo was made to perform professionally, citing his period while as acting president. He, however, pointed out that Osinbajo has not been able to perform at his best because of “banal politics of parochialism in the country.” Momodu on his Twitter page wrote: “I love our Vice President PROFESSOR YEMI OSINBAJO for many reasons, smart, intelligent, cerebral, God-fearing, energetic, and so on… He is one of the reasons many of us placed high hopes in the BUHARI Government. “He and a few others have made significant contributions to the modest achievements of this...
