So, it turns out there were no layoffs in Zenith Bank afterall and some people have been conned by an online publisher. I have spoken to people who work in the bank and confirmed that indeed there was nothing like that. I have also confirmed that the story cited by www.trentonline.com was published by Premium Times in 2012. This whole episode is another clear example of all that is bad with the media: First, it reminds of the ills of social media, rushing to share and retweet content that is false or unverified and making it look credible. And then, the whole issue of the credibility of so-called online publishers. So, www.trentonline.com goes ahead to copy and paste a 2012 story published by one online publisher and claims that it happened last Friday. Lesson: Be careful what you believe on social media, don't allow yourself to be fooled by half-baked journalists like the folks at www.trentonline.com

wow...seriously....that news site should be banned then... there is no more credibility and accountability...they are just looking for cheap fame.

Lies floating everywhere!
