Kc3000:
My knees almost buckled when Buhari told the interviewer "you know more about our budget than I do". The Dulardhino was in true form, I must confess.

What do you expect ? The man is a stark illiterate. I am ashamed of being Nigerian this moment. How can a country with millions of graduates elect an idiot as a President ?>

Mack3N:

You are simply pained by the show of shame by your incompetent cattle rearer!
Which mb you take do homework,again watch head to head or upfront and cure your ignorance!

Ignorant dunce, you need to show us a HISTORY of Al Jazeera grilling middle eastern leaders. You cannot do that. It cannot be done by saying ''go and watch head to head'', as if they are presently grilling all the Arab rulers on head to head. Uncle Tom. Meanwhile the Arabs whose rank hypocrisy and racism you're here defending like some stup.id bodyguard don't give two shiits about you, and would kick you out of their country if they so much as saw you staring at one of their women.

Rossikk:
Yawwnnnnnnnnnnnn. Show us interviews by Al Jazeera of the Ayatollah and the Saudi king where they are grilled about their human rights record. Or Assad. Or the rulers of Libya, Yemen, and Egypt. Can't be that hard, can it? It would save you all this grammar you're typing.

OK I will humour you this once but now you make readers doubt the kind of TV channels you watch. I thought you said somewhere above in response to another person's question that you have cable TV?

SHOW US LINKS WITH AL JAZEERA GRILLING ARAB RULERS. I did not say show me a CNN interview of the Syrian ambassador to the UN, or Barbara Walters' cushy, cuddly interview with Assad.

The fact that this is all you have to show PROVES exactly what I've been saying.

Oh now you are hiding behind Al Jazeera. Your grouse is with AlJazeera today? CNN and ABC are fine by you now? So you wouldn't have any problems with a Nigerian asking those same questions to Buhari? I thought, by your thinking, that those news houses only ask direct questions to Nigerians and blacks so that they can be "insulted" and "humiliated".

Actually it's you 'hiding' behind CNN and ABC after I asked you to specifically show me where AL Jazeera has grilled Arab rulers.

I mean, IT WOULD BE KINDA STRANGE if he had an AFRICAN station that went around grilling other world leaders in China and Sri Lanka, while ignoring the ones we have here in Africa. Surely we would think such a station had an AGENDA we were not aware of. So what is Al Jazeera's AGENDA with regard to Nigeria and Africa?

Do you bite?......you don't,so f*ck off!

I agree with rossikk 100%

The interview was hostile and nothing else.

Al Jazeera is a hugely funded station by the very wealthy Qatar government with wide international reach and actually provides an important counterbalance to Western-biased coverage of the news. It is immensely popular among Africans, Arabs and even Europeans so its outlook on news is international rather than local-focused. Maybe instead of your usual paranoia about the world's hatred of the wretched African continent, you should question why no Nigerian station has such a reach and pedigree.

@OP there is absolutely nothing wrong with the president granting interviews with foreign news stations like Aljazeera. I understand you feel they are bias, however, I think the President did well with the questions apart from the slight embarrassment of admitting that the journalist knew more of the budget than himself.

In the case of Biafra, he reiterated that the protesters must channel their grievances or request in a lawful manner. However, I must admit that the shootout by the police as shown in the video clip is really disturbing.

At OP, I want the president to continue granting this kind of interview because first, I think the president is more comfortable with foreign journalists than Nigerian journalists. He only gets to talk about Nigeria and his policies outside Nigeria. Second, foreign journalists ask hardcore questions and will not massage the ego of the president. On the other hand, the president appears not to be scuffled by tough questions and will not hesitate to call the bluff of foreign journalists, like he did when the journalist offered to show him video clips of IPOB protest and I have seen him do it severally.

Rossikk:
How come you've never asked those who insult Buhari here everyday why they are so bitter? Your hypocrisy stinks.

Did you ever bother to ask those who abused and insulted gej daily then why they were so bitter ?
