[font=Courier New, Fixed]I'm not really sure why SahalaReporters is making a clumsy attempt
to spoil my good name by posting my pictures on an article that has
nothing to do with me and trying to link me with a case of fraud.

Perhaps it's because many times in the past I've openly expressed the
opinion that the stories they publish are mostly lies and not news.

[size=20pt]I want to make it clear that I've never been involved in any business
with Seun Noibi. I have not founded any company with him, or anyone else.[/size]

For some reason best known to him, the young man tagged me as ‘cofounder’
of his ‘company’ on Facebook. And his company name was automatically added
to the info page of my Facebook profile. I didn't see it until my Facebook
profile data and pictures were splashed all over the infamous 'news' site.

When SahalaReporters contacted me at 6pm that day, I did not know about
the Facebook tag. In their email, they said he claimed I was his cofounder,
but didn't tell me where he made the claim or about the tag on my profile.

I hastily composed a reply to deny my involvement in any business dealings
with him, but later when I calmed down, I decided not to send it, because
I was afraid that SahalaReporters would find a way to twist my statement.

I did not realize that they didn't require a reply from me to do damage.

The next day, they posted my Facebook pictures alongside his pictures,
as if we were accomplices or something. They did not post pictures of
his family, classmates, friends, etc. They were not even mentioned.

I've been telling myself that I'm not bothered, but the truth is that I
am bothered. Even if I was his business partner, which I never was,
it would be unethical to splash my photos alongside his photos unless
I was implicated in the crime he was arrested for, which is impossible.

Even when Muttalab, who was a terrorist, not just a prankster, was caught,
no one posted the pictures of his friends, or even his family, not to
talk of posting the pictures of innocent people he tagged on Facebook.

Perhaps they felt pissed because I didn't respond their enquiry, but is
this a reason to embarrass me over what THEY KNOW I know nothing about?

Please join me in asking them to remove my pictures from the story.[/font]

[size=18pt]wahala reporters   [/size] will do  anything for more traffic.

macjive01:

Seun, what kind of silly defense are u putting up.

someone named you as a co-founder of a fraud front.

SHR had the decency to even call you up to question you before the published, yet u didnt thought it wise to defend ursef at that point, thereby making ursef A FRAUD CO-FOUNDER.

if a judge was to ask you :" guilty  or not guilty ?"

and u "I decided not to send it say anything because
I was [size=18pt]afraid[/size] that SahalaReporters the judge would find a way to twist my statement."

How incongruous !



(better return the money ooh if u hv de-frauded any body)


No wonder Aisha left, ceased any association with your arse.

What exactly did Sahara Reporters did wrong?

Godalone:

You and your lawyer(s) need to act fast. You should have replied their e-mail.

Seun:

People keep saying that I should have replied their email, but it's my honest belief that,
even if I replied them, they would still have posted the photos and profile. These are people
who post false stories about high-ranking politicians regularly, despite fervent denials by their
publicists.  So why would they care about a denial by a lowly webmaster like me?  Bear in mind
that I only had a couple of hours to think about what to do before they published the 'story'.

Shiorrrr, Your chicken has come home to roost and ure crying wolf. Every silly gossip from SR no matter how ridiculous is guaranteed the homepage on your site and uve loved it cos cheap and ridiculous gossip draws traffic and u know it.

Born in Ames, Iowa, Noibi claimed to have co-founded ‘Unleash Nigeria’ with his namesake, Seun Osewa, the founder of the popular Nigerian forum Nairaland.com. He told investigators that he has an office in the Southwest Side of Chicago. SaharaReporters contacted Mr. Osewa via email to ask about  their relationship but he did not respond to our requests.
