UK, US should also stop Buhari before he cripples the country totally.

US, UK should solve their own problems. We will solve ours. Don't be a slave man calling outsiders to solve your family issues. Shame

Media in Nigeria is based on tribal lines.

Most influential newspapers in Nigeria are owned by the yorubas, editors are also yorubas.

The media is weapon for these people, when they don't like you, they start blackmailing you and the country you direct with very frivolous articles to destroy you and the country.

Another thing you need to understand is that of psychology, nowaday since online media came, traffic and adrevenue has been the source of revenue for the media, people hardly buy newspapers, to make sure they get that revenue, they started using psychology, they understand that bad news, drama and gossip draw attention more than good news, so they have reinvented media to that direction without understanding the consequences of their actions, people are so addicted to bad news that they have lost hope, they have been disoriented by bad news that many are suffering from depression, all thanks to the media, to be sincere, the media shapes public opinion and shape public perception but now they are poppers of lies, deciet and blackmail all for traffic.

Rubbish.... Utter rubbish....beautiful nonsense......

hargbolahan01:
but most news on the front page Punch newspaper you posted are true and what we saw happened...it was there was killings with pictures there....it was true that odumakin died with pictures and it was true that govs were crying so what is unpatriotic in reporting what happened?

the job of media is to give people with facts either good or bad....even CNN fox news report and mass shooting and killings in US without anyone disturbing but why is freedom of speech a problem

Oga, stop shifting goal post.. Did Nigerians aware of anything called budget padding under Pdp's government?

How many Nigerians were aware of what you posted above then?

Fineman87:
PUNCH is all about bad news. Their headlines are all bad news. No good news, progress or development is ever on front page headlines. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. PUNCH headlines is all bad news, killings the country. And foreign media copy those news.

The FG and regulatory agencies must rein in on PUNCH newspaper. Freedom of the media is not freedom to bad mouth or damage the country. The freedom is freedom for journalists to work and investigate. It is not freedom to exaggerate or hype our problems. Freedom is not absolute.

All nations have internal problems. In Britain, Scotland wants to break up; in US, racial killings, drug and crime, mass shootings everyday; in France, cash crunch, political uncertainty, etc. Yet their media don't type those problems like PUNCH.

PUNCH is very Unpatriotic. And the bad name of this country comes partly from Bad News from PUNCH. Nigerians must stop evil PUNCH.

How about daily trust?

otosa:
But where is good news for them to report?

helinues:
Some Nigerians are just ungrateful... Just because the past governments have been bribing the media to under report the insecurity in the country does not mean this government should do the same.

If they are not reporting all this atrocities, how are we going to know the extent of rot in our security?

How long did it take Nigerians to know about the dreadful act of Akwuzu SARS led by James Nwafor
