The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has described social media as a nightmare to image makers because of its disinformation through fake and distorted news.

The minister who stated this on Monday in Lagos at the opening of the 4th Commonwealth Public Relations Congress, noted that image makers in both public and private sectors were victims of the trend.

He, therefore, charged PR practitioners to devise innovative ways to ensure a better, charged-way communication network between their employer and the people.

The event organised by the Management School, London and the Business Education Examinations Council, has the theme “Strategic Management of Reputation Risk in an Interdependent World.’’

“Today, anyone with access to a smart phone can put out any information, whether accurate or not, that could go viral in minutes.

“No fact-checking, no accuracy, no fairness, no rules. They just spread whatever information catches their fancy, and they have their own public that believes them.” he said.

The minister however said that the trend is global, affecting international and local affairs including the recent U.S. elections.

“To understand the seriousness of this, there is an on-going debate in the U.S. over the role that disinformation played in the recent presidential election.

“Some even accused the social networking site, Facebook, of helping to swing the election in favour of Mr. Donald Trump, through the fake and distorted news spread by websites belonging to those who call themselves Alt-Right, or Alternative Right.

“Of course Facebook has denied that. But then Facebook and Google have taken concrete action to check this by seeking to cut off the live wire to these fake news websites,” he said.

According to published reports, Google said it will prevent websites that misrepresent content from using its advertising network, while Facebook said its ban on deceptive and misleading content also applies to fake news.

The minister said, locally, the trend has also made the job of government image makers so daunting that it is denying them of sleep.

“Government image makers now sleep with one eye opened, that’s if we sleep at all, because while we are sleeping, the purveyors of distorted and fake news are busy cooking their stuff.

“I cannot count the number of times that I have been removed from the Information and Culture portfolio on the social media in the past year, or that ministers have swapped portfolios,’’ he said.

The minister seized the opportunity to refute the fake report that President Buhari gave $500 million to Hilary Clinton during the U.S. Electioneering Campaign.

“Even when the Presidency has denied this outrageous concoction, the so-called analysts and experts have continued to comment on it as if it is true,” he said.

In tackling the challenge, the minister said that in addition to radio, television, newspapers and the new media, his ministry revived an age-long practice of Town Hall Meeting to engage people directly and get their feedback on topical issues.

Mike Okereke, a public relations practitioners in a welcome address, said the summit afforded the them (PR practitioners from the Commonwealth) opportunity to exchange ideas on best practices.

He urged participants to adopt positive attitude in the

Re: Social Media Our Greatest Nightmare- Lai Mohammed by Whytelyon(m): 9:02am On Nov 22, 2016

grin I laugh. Pointing a finger at someone, when three points back at you...grin that's what is happening now.

You know, I kind of admire GEJ everyday. Every second. That kind of life he emulated, makes me ask... at first, I was like is this man stupid, Yorubas and their one sided thinking been chanting praises of PMB I was laughing, suffering bans from these mods on NL,even one of my accounts been banned till December 3, courtesy of one dull mod here ... only for today.... the reverse is the story.

One thing I learnt from GEJ, when people don't value you, let them be, never say a word. In the end... time shall always tell...

Indeed time is telling on Nigeria now. From recession to depression + our leaders employing corporate thievery. This is how the story always ends. I like GEJ, and I always will.

Lienus Mohammed, as you make your bed, so shall you lie on it. Stop complaining when you were the chief propagandaist of fake news during your time as APC spokesperson.

I can vividly remember you claiming on twitter that GEJ was planning to kidnap Jega to stop him from announcing results when nothing of such ever happened.
His epic lie still lingers - BH is "technically" defeated.

That lie mohd is a bitter poor old basterrd.

I can'nt believe this from the man who benefited from social media during their campaign in 2014. Pay back time Alhaji.. You've not seen anything yet.
Re: Social Media Our Greatest Nightmare- Lai Mohammed by Lawalemi(m): 9:11am On Nov 22, 2016
Sometimes I don't sympathize with some Nigerians on the current economic crises.
My worry was why youths supposedly intelligent would fall for propaganda from these seniling old folks.
Oftentimes I tried waking folks from slumber that most of these campaign promises were only churn out on the availability on social media and they would be so difficult to implement, it was as if they were jinxed.
Now you are venting your anger on Lai Mohammed.
Please, deal with it, your stewpidity brought you here. Next time, you shall see through your eyes and not your ass.

Nne, Mr. Lai and co-travellers didn't create the social media. You unwittingly accorded them grounbreaking ability and expertise. They made use of a platform where youths interface to oust a president who was never in charge. They rode to political power on the crest and influence of social media. But the honey has since ended. They are making Nigerians understand that their worth and capacity to govern and lead was exaggerated and misjudged. Therefore, infantile buck passing has been projected to replace policy. Karma is karma, and not a bitccch.

How time flies, the same media we used to sell APC we will use to bring your party down from government since you have become insensitive to our yearnings and aspirations including our welfares. Lai Mohammed and his co travellers have taken us for granted. We in Kogi are worse off including the accidental governor imposed on us by APC National leadership. Disintegration and anhiliation of APC is inevitable.

The same thing I have been telling NL Minister of information, Lai Lalasticlala.. cheesy

People called a sitting president.. clueless, drunkard, kindergarten, retardeddd, Jonadafft..(the last two words have been censored on NL;try it ) . . They cheered.

They accused him of going to Chad to plan terrorism.. They jeered.

They nicknamed his wife SHEPOPO.. they hailed.

They accused him of training one million snipers.. They sneered.

..
Check my posts, I have long predicted that #BBOG would haunt the Obamas.


A professional advice: All Nigeria's ministers should desist from body language comments that defame the POTUS. It has dire consequences and put doubts to the rumour' that that that.. that ..

POTUS means President Of The Unite States
PON means President of Nigeria grin

( Mr Lai Mohammed please stop complaining, your party won election thru falsehood, propaganda and all sorts that you fed your E-Warriors to bring Jonathan down. He even was more straight with Nigerians compared to your nature of lies. Pls do not complain in as much as I know that most things said or written about you and your group are nothing but the truth. All you need to do is let the opposition be and let Nigerians not die of hunger. Stop using Nigeria as a Guinea pig to test all forms of elementary economic policies. Mr Mohammed & co, you've killed Nigeria but please don't bury her. God will send someone to raise her from your APC induced death)
