I smell a huge rat!
Why's the world's largest news network silent on the struggle??

wanna know why?? fresh air

Their Nigeria correspondent - Christian Purefoy- resigned his job yesterday. I'm not sure why but i think that has sort of affected their Nigeria coverage.

^oga christian Purefoy isnt there Nigerian correspondent per say but he's/ was their entire African correspondent just as Jeff and Tumi back then before they were sacked along side our own femi oke some years back.

However they still have one other Zimbabwean lady that also covers Africa. its possible that christians resigntn could have affected the coverage cos CNN shd have at least said something like they do when BHaram strikes

Thank God!
I don't want these nosey dudu/oyinbo peeps to keep asking me questions about 'Africa' again!
Like 'Africa' is my living room or something?

Sheeesh!

Really? why did he resign? He was much better than Jeff. Jeff is now with K24 in kenya hosting one show where he interviews govt officials and always laughing even when there's nothing to laugh about.

So you want to see yourself on tv. Oya go and shoot sultan.

Oga, Purefoy was CNN's LAGOS BASED correspondent with responsibility for the entire West Africa. Not sure what point you're trying to make but his departure would've surely impacted on their reports even if a new person is already in.

He announced his resignation in a single tweet 2days back but didnt say why though he said something about a 'big project' in Nigeria.

You know US Army have left all other Oil producing countries like Libya and Iraq. So the next nation to deal with is Nigeria. Jonathan please wake up before US park you well.

Beware of 2015 ooooooooooooooooo.

na wah 4 u oo Kai! Nigerians, never a dull moment.

Thank the Lord Christian Purefoy resigned, he is fond of reporting silly news. I am sure he wants to get involved in one of these laboratories in Lekki. Silly white boy

Cos they see the advantages of the subsidy removal and no reason for the protests

even wen Purefoy was active, he rarely cover big Nigerian stories, i see some little stories Robyn Curnow in SA reports and big stories here in Naija christian don`t. let dem get a more vibrant reporter abeg.
I was watchin him on African Voices interviewing the "Master Story Teller" and he just dont get it.

i wish him the best in His future endeavours

this is why they are not reporting the protests.http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-725718. they need your coments in order for it to be used on their news.as you can see,only 338 people have made comments.to get their attention, forward the link to as many people as you can to make comments.if thousands of pple comment,it will be aired tooday/tomorrow

When they are part of the reasons?

This is pure ojoro! They reported other peoples' own but now its our turn they don't want to. Its not fair o

The US follow for our problems. They are still our masters and GEJ is their ultimate puppet while we the Nigerians are sitting ducks. N̶̲̥̅̊o wonder I'm racist. We for do US must go.

could it be because they dont feel you should be protesting?

CNN is a US medium. What advantage would it be for these white cheats if the true pulse of the people are reported? What good interest of Nigeria does US have to que behind people who are for a just course. It is a matter of time, their tool, Okonjo 'Ewela' or whatever her name is, would be disappointed and disgraced.

Cos the world audience have lost hope in Nigeria. Broadcasting Nigeria would be a waste of bandwidth.

All u haters of US.
Nigeria protest is not popular. Protest is everywhere, but not all news worthy.
Only a few out of 140 million people are protesting (not up to a million). It is just one of those protest.
Your governement has bribed Labour leaders and activists who should be at the forefront of the protest. So the protest will soon die down and u will continue paying 130naira. February, the governement may decide to increase it to 300naira. There is noting u can do about it.


Here is ur answer.

There is nothing u can do to the U.S.A, its a God's own state

After the exit of Christian Purefoy and Femi Oke, the flashpoint on Nigeria seems unimportant to CNN one of the biggest media partners globally
The recent marriage of Nigeria and the visit made to Nigeria by representative of the International Monetary fund is viewed with so much suspicion by the Elite in Nigeria
As Nigeria move en-mass against the corruption of Government, it seemed that the silence of CNN is laden with unspoken reason.
Nigerians all over the world are concern for the role of the international community in bringing the corruption in motherland to a halt by a joint media front
So far, only BBC and Aljazeera have featured the recent crisis on their website.
We wonder if CNN is a partner to the insensitive corrupter of Nigeria

my friend watch the way yu talk. yu can pass yur message and still be reasonable,
learn how to manage info

Blackteeth:

wat do u mean? is Nigeria always in the news or re they the worst country in the world watch it!!

correct me if am wrong, but i have not seen bbc report the protests either.

Simple because the protests is not organized(21st century protests) and strong to waste their airtime.

Unlike other international news correspondents,Christian Purefoy did not dwell on the negatives in Nigeria. He was very balanced and he seems to have fallen in love with Nigeria.
Ps: he has also landed a huge job in Nigeria,details later.

If the Fuel Subsidies Removal Protesters in Abuja really want to make an impact that will totally catalyze the overdue revolution this nation needs - all they need do is carry along a 10liter jerry-can of petrol and march to ASO rock - Pour it on themselves and light-up each other. 10,000 people all at the same time. what a sight to behold. then Lagos should follow-suit, then Imo State, then Ogun and so forth , while northerners watch in stupefying laughter

@agerwhenindoubt:

Really I thought stupi-dity was no longer in Vougue.
With your kind of response I just confirmed it that its a generational genetic triat.

I don't care of CNN headlines the fuel subsidy removal. M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ only prayer is that Nigeria should get her act together. Now the US have recalled their troops from Libya and Iraq they are waiting to come to Nigeria. Do Ɣ☺̣̣̥̇Ʊ guys know that there are US trooped stationed not far from Bonny Island? I went to Bonny recently and M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ in-laws who work in NLNG were worried cos they said the NLNG engineers intercepted a frequency and got some disturbing info. God help us all.
