Soo o o oo what is the political angle to this story? @Poster

How does your claim that he is a nairalander make a story about his working as a journalist political?

He is a political reporter, means to you, that his career is political?

if he's a nler then you or him should reveal his user id.

what's with all these unnecessary announcements "oh so and so is a who is who and on nl but his user id wont be revealed".



dont broadcast anyone as a nler if you prefer they remain anonymous.

just leave that part out.

Francis-1:


How else will his career be described other than a reporter reporting on politics?
If you are a math student you attend math classes and not a religious class. Hence, a political reporter is appropriately introduced in a political forum
Are you still confused, as usual?

A Political reporter is NOT a politician.

Find another nigerian listed on wikipedia and post here. its time to start talking about them.

^^are you alright?

you're the one announcing and broadcasting here, not me.

i just think its very silly to start hyping somebody then say he's a nler and refuse to reveal his user id.

i am not a celebrity and neither am i promoting myself or anybody.

if i were to do so while mentioning the person is on nl, then i'll say their user name as well.

kapish?


michael okwu isnt unknown to most people who watch cnn. You can post about him in celebrity section or something- no need to start mentioning he's on nl if you're not going to show who he is here.

was nl featured on cnn or what exactly are we supposed to be celebrating? The many lagos gutters we saw there?

How did you know he's a NLer? @op
