we need Freedom of Information Bill

Will Yar'adua also threaten to shut down CNN and BBC? Yar'adua does not like being told the truth with strong regards to the problems facing Nigeria and Nigerians. Anyway, his administration is a failure. I hail Mike Aruleba for his courage. But as for Chief Raymond Dokpesi (the owner of Raypower and AIT) he is a coward. I will miss Mike Aruleba.

we will anything less than dis cos d government is fully corrupt.

While I believe the president should have taken a more diplomatic/legal stance against this Gbenga guy, I think a lot of us  are not comparing like with like here. Why is everbody talking about Fox news and Obama as if that is the only difference between Nigeria and USA. America is planets ahead of Nigeria ,which shows in almost every facet of  life.

Sorry we  are not America and we have to live with that for now.

The sense of judgement of the average American is high enough to discern the spirit and the letter of FOX reports. Infact may be Obama should not have reacted and not much would change. Americans know better.

In Nigeria the case is far  different except if we want to keep decieving ourselves. Just one unfounded sensational reporting can set the entire Northern axis of the nation on fire.

I see Gbenga as biased in his reporting . When a journalist does everything , from his panelist to the kind of questions to always portray things negatively , I think he needs be cautioned expecially when he turns the blind eye constantly on the flaws of certain other public elements.

Mr president,i believe we are still in the democracy world.thretenin a private company of shuttin them down sound so rediculus,i dont understand are own (goverment of the people and for the people i mean 1990 constitiution)DEMOCRACY IS A WORLD OF FREE FLO
OF SPEECH YOU HAVE D RIGHT OF GOING TO COURT, AND LET VERY INDEVIDUALS DEFEND THEM SELF.

Our government bad,let 'em cum and arrest me

incredible? , YARADUA, tHIS IS THE WORK OF OLUSEGUN OBASANGO

@na so, or what ever you call yourself.
firstly, i think you are not in Nigeria. i think you are just the type FELA sang suffering and smiling for.  you would have said the mil litants are also biased. instead of appreciating concrete criticism you are volting for dictatorship.

you have to open your eyes and understand that your government don't knw wat dey are doing.

something somewhere is wrong wit your thinking.

@oiseworld

I agree that something is wrong with the country. I agree that the government at every level need to do much more than what we see.

I have already stated that this approach of threatening AIT with shutdown is not the best.

However I believe that we all have to show accountability and the minimum level of professionalism needed in our different fields. Journalists should be more professional .

I want balanced reporting. Gbanga's style is far from it.

That is all he is good at. Useless President.

The nigerian state is obviously one that has never made hidden its dictatorial characteristics. From the days of Buhari up till now the kingdom of free expression has suffered violence and the violent have consistently paid with their blood, loved ones and their livelihood. This government is a continuum of that early repressive military mindset. However, nothin can stop the coming revolution, the blood of the tyrants shall water the tree of freedom.
