Mr USA, How many times have reporters in the USA published news of Fidel castros death,

Earlier this year CNN told us of "unconfirmed report of Hosni Mubaraks death. I guess the professional fool.ishness extends to CNN too.

Ever since they published the report has Chime come out to deny it?

Exactly, where is Chime himself. we kept on seeing his commissioners talking on his behalf but no one seems to have heard from him directly.
Even the late yaradua's earlier case wasnt this terrible. During campaign, OBJ made sure at least we heard his voice from his hospital bed from germany.
Umaru, is that u

touch_me_hard: I just like the fact that they were decent and polite in the whole thing, unlike the Police.

oyb: Chime are you alive? We need to see you, not your signature on contract and supplementary budget

what exactly is ur stress youngman

Chime is ill, there's nothing being wrong in being ill, what exactly do u want to see him for

Had_one: IS BETTER THEY SHOULD START BRINGING SUCH UNPROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTAND THEIR MEDIA AGENCIES TO ORDER.

manny4life: Ah, what is your problem... er Mr. Dayo

What has Fidel got to do with the U.S.? Is he a U.S. citizen, or part of the U.S. Govt System? Nna na wa fo you o, have you ever heard of Fox or MSNBC publishing death news of a seating senator or governor without it being confirmed. As in "TX Gov Perry is dead" without verification... Abeg chill jor.

Hosni Mubarak is not part of the U.S and State govt, it was stated as "UNCONFIRMED" , not Affirmative like these folks here did.

[b]Are u ok at all?

Chime is ill, there's nothing being wrong in being ill, what exactly do u want to see him for [/b]

And how do u know that? wasnt it not this same journalist that is being harassed by those goons that broke the story for u?

The government in the past sponsored advertorials (October 18) on two national dailies against me, this was shortly after I broke the story on the governor’s health and his continuous absence from the state on October 14.

dayokanu:

Your rebuttal is very lame.

So because they are not US citizens they are allowed to publish "Unconfirmed news of their death"

CNN published unconfirmed news of Prominent Global figures. A Nigerian does the same but you in you daftness go ahead and accuse him of professional fool,,shness

dayokanu:

Chime is not ill, The Information commissioner didn't tell anyone Chime is sick or are you his Doctor to claim he is sick?

young man u don't like chime more than I do, let's tell ourselves the truth , chime is ill and deserves to be treated in where ever he feels is best for him in this world.

Since when did it become a sin to be ill

manny4life:

Lame to you.

YES, to each his own. What concerns me if Nigerian publisher publishes that SA governor or Cameroonian president is dead? How does that affect me? F Freedom of press is only restricted to the individual country/state, therefore, if CNN publishes wrongful information or otherwise about another country, that's different than when it's "HOMELAND SECURITY". Get the difference?

Apparently, in you futile bid to make me look bad, you've exhibited same daftness you accuse me of. Have you ever heard of CNN publishing any state governor being dead or sick or otherwise "WRONGFULLY"? Please use your fuc.king brains and not your an.us to think. A Nigerian published wrongful material about a "SITTING GOVERNOR" of his homeland, that would serious security chaos, how does that equate to CNN publishing "UNCONFIRMED" international stories?

i keep on hearing this and to be honest, it makes no sense.
Kindly refer me to any story emanating from this journalist that categorically stated that Chime is dead.
This will surely be a game changer

manny4life:

Where there no several reports that Gov Chime was dead? My comment was on a broad view and not any particular person per se. I will reiterate again, publishing unconfirmed death reports about a sitting govt official is WRONG.

dayokanu:

Quite brainless as usual.

So US is interested in causing security chaos in countries where they report about death of their leaders?

You are steadily breaking new grounds in daftness, You should qualify for a Gordon Bell prize soon

Demdem:

lets get something straight here.
This thread is about the injustice melted on a journalist that doesnt have an history of false reportage not just another random journalist.
Infact, if not for his reportage of Chime's illness, peeps like rooneyboy would never have known because the state govt wanted it to be a secret.
This journalist has a clean history?
The question is why would SSS harass a "clean" journalist from performing his duties because they "think" without any concrete evidence that he is about to "lie"? Was that appropriate? Nothing suggest to me or even u that this journalist in question was about to send Chime's death report to lagos that evening.

Red-Light:
demdem

so what is stopping him from writing the story now then? what happened should encourage him to write whatever he got... i think its all propaganda from the journalist ... he has nothing to offer

That boils down to the editorial board of the Punch itself. besides, his earlier story about chime's illness has already been published and "confirmed" to be true though the govt denies such. By the way, do u even have an idea of what he intend sending to lagos at all. How are we even sure he even wanted to send anything that night

Demdem:

manny4life:

Guilty or innocence is something that court of law has to decide. If he knows that he's clean, then let him go about it the right way.

manny4life:


You do not expect the govt to accept it, in as long as he has evidence to show forth that his stories were confirmed, people like me want to know. My own disappointment in general (in ref to my first post), was the unconfirmed news about his death in India, at a particular time.

but it didnt originate from this journalist. All what has originated from this journalist so far has been the truth (chime's illness). why the harassment then? shouldnt journalists proceed with their work again because there are bad journalists out there

Demdem:

can u kindly highlight one thing or one area that this journalist in question got it wrong? what exactly did he do to have warranted this harrasement from the SSS
