Must peeps on Nairaland disprove and abuse every post. I think Nairaland might lose its reputation and ppl might move on to other social websites if all what people do here is to insult. Please the S.S.S invasion on BBC and CNN is true and has been confirmed. An investigation is on-going and would be reported by the News stations.

prolly not the best thing to do though
Re: Sss Invaded Bbc And Cnn Offices In Lagos? by Nobody: 2:31pm On Jan 16, 2012
From another source.

Nigerian security agents raided the CNN offices in the Nigerian economic capital Lagos on Monday amid a nationwide strike and protests over fuel prices hikes, a witness said.

"They refused to sign in, bypassed the security," a witness said on condition of anonymity, adding that the plain-clothes agents asked about expatriate quotas and permission from authorities to operate.

The agents from the country's secret police left the US news network's bureau after about 20 minutes, leaving a phone number with instructions to contact the authorities, the witness said.

Separately on Monday, security forces fired tear gas, shot in the air and used armoured vehicles to disperse protesters after President Goodluck Jonathan reduced petrol prices in a bid to end a nationwide strike now in its second week.  -AFP

They are even lucky to be allowed into UK at the first place, does Iran allow any western press to broadcast freely in Iran?

Yea I know they don't reason being that western media info tend to be 'injurious' to the Ahmadnejad's Agenda.
Likewise UK have found the constant criticism of PressTV 'unacceptable'
Re: Sss Invaded Bbc And Cnn Offices In Lagos? by Nobody: 2:44pm On Jan 16, 2012
I saw that on many media. I can't not say of the veracity.

I watch PressTV and they are unbelievably un-objective, no balance news at all, rumour after rumour, conspiracy, all their guess speakers are ant-west, no opposing views are allowed. It makes mockery of journalism.

dding that the plain-clothes agents asked about expatriate quotas and permission from authorities to operate.

Wonder why BBC and CNN didnt report the stories themselves? It didnt sound like an invasion or raid to me though. The words means worse than what was reported. Journalist could use help with a dictionary.

Not supporting the  action though cos it would be misconstrued as per the timing and whether the SSS dable into expatriate quota issues. Also, it is futile to think that such international media can be intimidated (which i believe the action was). The have been through worse in places like Myanmar, Zimbabwe and North Korea.

These Oyinbos are really tolerant. BBC has been disallowed from operating in Iran but Press TV has operated from London for so long. Wonder what made them act this time.
Re: Sss Invaded Bbc And Cnn Offices In Lagos? by Nobody: 2:59pm On Jan 16, 2012
BBC hausa service should be shut down by govt.they are acting like mouth piece of boko haram and northern oligachy.this is one station that goes to the extent of alerting northerners in the south to return to the north prior to boko haram quit notice to southerners in the north.

You are very correct. They never see anything good in anything western. May be correct sometimes but they overblow it.

I guess the invasion of the British embassy in Tehran actually irked them.
Re: Sss Invaded Bbc And Cnn Offices In Lagos? by mrjingles(m): 3:07pm On Jan 16, 2012
So SSS agents invade BBC and CNN office and they don't report it on their own website? They would jump on it like a hungry dog on a fat juicy bone! They surely wont rely on some kururkere blog to report it. THANK GOD this strike has ended, na idleness dey cause all these kind things.
Re: Sss Invaded Bbc And Cnn Offices In Lagos? by doofanc: 3:08pm On Jan 16, 2012
I must say i'm very surprised about on BBc. If anything, they've always seem to be in support of GEJ. I remember a report by Patrick doyle from Abuja where he kept on saying 'this is not a Nigeria Spring, in that jonathan is not seen as a dictator since he came thru the ballot box and so Nigerians are not really calling for regime change. . ., and so on.

No they were banned because they keep airing interviews/ confessions obtained through torture by Iranian security agencies, the victims are forced to make false confessions and the station will broadcast it.
