Gov doesn't provide news the news media does.

Now if FG tries to reign in the media , it won't surprise me if you would be amongst those to protest that govt is trying to muffle free speech or call it dictatorship.

People bent on wailing would wail will wail regardless of what govt does.

I won't have problem with your post if you didn't bring govt into it . You should have simply said our news media is corrupt.

Yes I know that some element of the govt is in collusion with these dishonest publications and in the case of Osinbajo as Acting President, it sometimes went to very top, but it is best not to refer to the govt and news media as if they are one indivisible entity.

President Buhari in my opinion is doing everything he can to rescue Nigeria , but there are too many corrupt people in the polity. Nigeria can never succeed under this system of democracy. Maybe we can try to reset thing by bypass the NAss as they are doing in Venezuela in producing our constitution.

Abacha 1995 draft constitution can always be adopted and tinkered with rather than the nonsense constitution introduced by the crooked duo IBB and Thief Obasanjo at the insistance of their imperialist sponsors.

I've been reading Nigerian newspapers for decades and I know that the media often sensationalize stories in order to sell, so I developed a technique to evade it. Remove all the journalist's word and read only what the person being interviewed is saying and you would get a better understanding of the issue.

Now, read the army officer's comments in this article. I've also included a video of the interview. Isn't it clear that he is talking about combating fake news and fake social media accounts (like the Defense Monitoring account) by monitoring social media in order to detect them and quickly react to the fake news? Did he at any point talk about arresting anybody or limiting freedom of speech?


We Now Monitor Social Media For Anti-Government And Anti-Military Information – Military

Channels Television  
Updated August 23, 2017




The activities of Nigerians on the social media are now being monitored for hate speech, anti-government and anti-security information by the military.

Director of Defence Information, Major-General John Enenche, told Channels Television that the move became necessary in the light of troubling activities and misinformation capable of jeopardizing the unity of the country.

His comments come less than 48 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari said in his national broadcast that some of the discussion on social media in his absence crossed the line and left him distressed.

For Major General Enenche, the social media has always been a challenge all over the world and for the military, it is no different.

“It is a double-edged sword and we are also having a bit of it,” he said when he appeared on Channels Television’s News At 10, hours after President Buhari met with service chiefs and ordered them to strengthen their operations.

“Imagine when the President came back and addressed the nation, not up to 30 minutes later, a fake speech of the Commander-In-Chief was being circulated in order to do what? To derail the people. If you are not very sharp and if you didn’t listen to the speech or you don’t have a copy of it like I had it almost immediately, you wouldn’t know. So, looking at it from that perspective, it is a challenge everywhere.”

Having observed the possibility that the social media can be misused the military has taken steps to address that. One of such steps is the establishment of strategic media centres.

“What are we doing? In the military, we are now taking on it more seriously than ever. We have our strategic media centres that monitor the social media to be able to sieve out and react to all the ones that will be anti-government, be anti-military, (and) be anti-security,” the military chief continued.

“We tackle them appropriately with appropriate responses. Ahead of that, we are also proactive. We have measures in place, scientific measures to be able to sieve this information and also to get the public and let them know that some of this information they are getting is not genuine are not true and their objective is an anti-corporate existence of this country.”


There has been a rise in attacks by Boko Haram terrorists and it is one of the things the President advised the service chiefs to check. While the military intends to do just that, Major General Enenche said what they terrorists are doing is not surprising.

He said, “Like I have said before, it is not unexpected being that they have been degraded, decimated and really busted at camp zero and other cities there through the air bombardment and raids by members of the military, particularly the army. So you will see them spreading out like ants that have been busted from an anthill.”

According to him, the terrorists have benefitted in their attacks from the unending collaboration by insiders and sympathisers among the residents in the North East.

“However, I want to assure the general public and Nigerians that measures are in place to begin to take on them and begin to take them out. However highly placed anyone is or any insider or collaborator is, we are on top of the situation and we are beginning to get our information to begin to handle them appropriately,” he said.
