Nicholas Ibekwe


Nicholas is a Nigerian born in the slums of Maroko (now demolished) in Lagos. He is the ninth child in a family of eleven siblings. Competing for his parents attention with ten other siblings will have a profound effect on his personality. This has made him very competitive. He obtained his first degree in English language from the Lagos State University, Ojo.

Nicholas started his journalism career in 2008 with NEXT Newspapers (www.234next.com).  He has won several awards and recognitions in investigative reporting. In 2009 Nicholas won the online category of the Wole Soyinka Award for Investigative Reporters with the story on the proliferation of hired armies in the troubled Niger-Delta Region of Nigeria. He was also commended in the Prestigious MultiChoice/CNN African Journalists of the Year Award in the same year. In 2010, he emerged runner-up in the Wole Soyinka Award for Investigative Reporters. He was also a finalist in the biggest award for investigative reporters in Africa- The Fair (Forum for African Investigative Reporters) Awards in 2010 and 2011.

Nicholas is a 2011/2012 Chevening Scholar. He presently studies MA International Journalism at City University, London.

Nicholas is passionate about investigative reporting and revealing the excesses of government officials, organisations and individuals. He is also an all-rounded reporter who had worked as a court reporter, written sports stories and an excellent reviewer and feature writer.

He is a ‘Street Poet” some of his work could be read at:      and an avid lover of Hip Hop music.

Evil is thriving in Nigeria because those who should know better and do something are either silent or supporting it.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke

"Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph." - Haile Selassie I

But they should also remember that:

“No evil deed can go unpunished. Any evil done by man to man will be redressed, if not now, then certainly later; if not by man, then certainly by God, for the victory of evil over good can only be temporary” - Dele Giwa

You asking what the 50k bribe for?

OK, to assist you it cannot be more than to "be friendly" in reporting the massacre that happened. To dig less (or better not to dig at all), the root cause of the incident. And not to expose the shady deals going on in that place.

By ordering his goons to attack first responders and keeping them off the site for 51 hours, TB Joshua should be charged for murder.

PDP & APC are inherently the same. Jonathan plays politics with people's lives. Fashola is doing the same. Why can't Lagos do what is right?

Bro, there is nothing new that he's reporting, we've heard all the stories. The guy is just making a weak attempt to achieve cheap publicity, tell me something about all what he said that you've not known already. If you notice the whole write up states all his career achievements so far, that's cheap publicity.

I feel you.

I do think there needs to be some restraint from the Governor as a person being of different religious leaning himself.

One has to be careful not to turn this situation into a religious war.

However, I believe in due time the prophet/clairvoyant/Hotelier would be charged to court.


Scores are dead so I trust it would not be swept under the carpet.


I do hope the place as been sealed off to prevent any evidence being compromised.


Pictures and documents should already have been taken.

Also, it would be wise of the MOG to avoid making any public announcements concerning the case once charged.

I understand dear, but the Fashola I know, has many ways sending strong messages without courting controversies, if he chooses to. But to visit the site without even condoling with the bereaved families but chose to have a closed door meeting with TB Joshua smacks off playing politics with people's life! Smh!

I'm sorry to say, but I think you are the fool here, and Nicholas, a brave young man. Why were journalist given monies?? Are they under the payroll of the "Prophet" Your question should be directed at the murderer TB Joshua.

Bro there are so many articles on the net already condemning T.B Joshua on why he should add storeys to a foundation that can't support such a load. Nicholas is not a sheep amidst lions. He should spare us the "I am the only journalist who didn't accept the bribe" mantra.

I don't blame Fashola, it's not because it's a big Church I think it because it a Church and you know how Nigerians are with Religion. There's a thread on Nairaland saying how Fashola and APC want to Islamise Nigeria because of the way the synagogue issue has been handled. According to the poster Fashola should be busying looking for the so called plane and not investigating the Church!

Imagine o, wetin be APC's business with plane or Synagogue but you see the average Nigerian doesn't reason when it comes to Religion. If Fashola handles this case the way it should be they will label him a jihadist. Even GEJ knows that if he dosen't thread careful the man will tell his people he is an Anti-Christ. Nigerians themselves are the problems, we allow these people to use us once they bring up these silly religious or tribal sentiments.

Sire, if you start this train of abuses you'll leave here with a bruised ego. If there is no reasonable way you can convey your message without being insultive, its better you shut the hell up otherwise you're welcome to the abuse challenge.
