Nigerian Restaurant Selling Human Meat Story: Shame On BBC!!! by urnaijadotcom: 3:16pm On May 22, 2015
The British Broadcasting Corporation, one of the last relics of British colonial rule, has just sunken to a new low after the humiliating retraction of a false story about a Nigerian restaurant serving human flesh in Anambra state.

The most shameful aspect of the whole saga was not the fact that the BBC had to retract the story but after the story turned out to be a figment of someone’s imagination, some decision makers at the headquarters in England distanced themselves from the story and blamed it on BBC Swahili, which is partly funded by United Kingdom’s television licence fee. BBC Swahili is part and parcel of the BBC!

As if further evidence was needed to prove that the BBC is a racist organisation feeding itself on license fees paid by hundreds of thousands of Africans living in the UK.

The BBC earns over three billion Pounds (£3b) every year most of which comes from compulsory TV license fees paid by every household in the United Kingdom with a TV set. You would have thought some of this amount would be set aside to investigate stories. On the other hand, it’s probably not part of BBC’s policy to investigate bizarre stories from Africa.

One of the only policies of the newly elected Tory government worth looking forward to is a review of the Royal Charter under which the BBC was established. The new Conservative government is thinking of decriminalizing failure to obtain a TV license not out of concern for the people but out of spite for the BBC, which is considered too left wing for their comfort. How interesting that the BBC and the Tories are at loggerheads, two of the UK’s most unpopular brands – lolz.

Back to the Nigerian restaurant story, even the Dailymail – a right wing newspaper that publishes any story demeaning to Africans with relish – published a retraction (but not an apology) on their website. The most the BBC could do was blame it on BBC Swahili.

Someone should tell BBC executives at their Salford, Manchester office about Vicarious Liability. Their lawyers are obviously too busy working out how to fend off the Tory assault on their finances – lolz.

The decriminalization of failure to obtain a TV license cannot come soon enough. If the BBC were working hard to attract adverts like responsible media organisations do they’ll know better than insult the largest black community in the world with a fabricated story and then blame it on another African branch of their bigoted organisation.
