skijo: when i first read this post i thought the op was misinformed but looking at his other topics its obvious that he is just a political tool

noblezone:

Not when the bulk of the media both print and electronic are in the hands of the so called "opposition"!

I still remember how Amechi was "prevented from entering government house", magnus Abbey was "shot" by policeman "sent" by Jonathan. Activities of the Biafran movement in Biafraland is never reported except when Massob "criminals" are killed!

Jonathan is loosing the media war because the south east/south south are politically naive!

The Jihardist north have media voice, the west controls a good percentage of the media, where is the middle belt, south east and south south?

Look at what Aljazera is doing? Who can deny the efforts of press TV?

The Western Media would make noise about the "war crimes" of the Nigerian army against the Boko Haram, but magnify the news when Boko haram attacks!

Shame!

FRCN did not say no girls were missing. FRCN is objective for a government-owned outlet. NTA is another matter.

publisher: A section of the Nigerian media has innundated us with news of Boko Haram capturing 'new Nigerian territory' and hoisting their flags.

This is apparently the next line of propaganda war that Boko Haram has adopted in the face of impending defeat in the hands of Nigeria army.

Boko Haram in conjunction with their foreign and local media partners now concentrate more on targeted attacks in a predetermined location; they clash with the Nigerian army,kill innocent people, lose many of their own fighters and retreat to their hideouts. Next morning,Boko Haram media partners get to work by informing the world that they received "phone calls" from "unnamed" sources that Boko Haram has taken over new territory and hoisted their flags-no pictural evidence.

Even the very proud Abubakar Shekau is yet to provide a new video showing him relaxing at his newly conquered territory.

The Nigerian army in its wisdom has reduced or stopped announcing its victories and casualty figures against Boko Haram-this has afforded our army the liberty to kill,capture and slaughter Boko Haram fighters at will without any international scrutiny. This is why Boko Haram and their media backers a few weeks ago,released a video showing members of Nigerian army slaughtering their members-it was a subtle cry for help.

The Nigerian army have now turned the tide and become terrorists to Boko Haram members and their supporters.

The insurgency war is far from being over as many remote towns in North East wll continue to experience attacks and bombs will continue to explode here and there, but the truth is that Boko Haram fighters are being decimated rapidly and their only hope of survival increasingly rests on the pages of selected newspapers, reckless social media fora and opposition backed news websites.

Jarus: I agree with the OP. BH are winning the war of the media unfortunately, creating fears, trumpeting their victory and downplaying their losses.

I don't believe the media is purposely Collaborating with them, but their strategy(trick) is working on the media.

deji68: : "What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender. It was the same at the battle of Tet. You defeated us. We knew it. We thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice that your media was definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefield. We were ready to surrender. You had won." He makes the point the Vietnam War was not lost in Vietnam; it was lost here. That's why I keep telling everybody that the Drive-Bys were trying to do the same thing in Iraq that they did in Vietnam for a host of reasons, not the least of which among them was to reestablish their own ability to influence people into the United States losing a war that the media was opposed to."
.........Scary, scary stuff from general Giap a vietnamese army general, on why America lost the vietnamese war.i think our media are behaving the same way...It took ISIS one month to occupy half of Iraq, . It took the Malian Rebels weeks to occupy half of Mali before France came to their rescue. ..its been 7 years since Boko Haram has been trying to turn Naija into Africa Afghanistan, yet they lack capacity to hold Territories.The NA have driven them out Maiduguri into bush ..I think the Na are winning the war........until they show me the pic, dont believe it....me i know our flag na green white green...

mentorandfriend: Ok. I'll send it to you in your inbox.
