Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 6:28pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Why did the western media ignore Jos this time around and focus on India where less than 150 people died? Are they getting tired of us or they just don't care? |

They must have found out that your country practices genocide as a culture. Its legal for that matter. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 6:37pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
They must have found out that your country practices genocide as a culture. Its legal for that matter.Is that why they blanked us totally?. I only saw the jos carnage on CNN's footnote. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by Nobody: 6:39pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
They had to respect your culture this time. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 6:41pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Which culture?. Is terrorism an Arabian culture?. Why did they keep reporting theirs but our own terrorism is ignored? |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by debosky(m): 6:42pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Because we do this to ourselves everyday. Indians even made more of a news story due to terrorism and threats to Western Nationals. Like Jakumo said - the world has become accustomed to stories like these - we need to clean up our act. There is little economic or social impact outside of Nigeria - that is another reason no one cares. Besides we don't seem to care too much ourselves. |

BBC is reporting it. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 6:47pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
BBC is reporting it.Is it a headline news or the normal foot note thingy? |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 6:48pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
They reported the Kaduna carnage so well. They started ignoring us since the Niger Delta issue, may be Nigerian news itself affects their ratings. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by DavidDylan(m): 7:02pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
its no longer news. |

redchic are u born hausa! u seemed to reason like 1 |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by Jarus(m): 7:08pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
RedHotChic:Yeap, only saw it as footnote while watching BBC yesternight, but not sure whether it was covered in main news before switching to or after switching from BBC. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 7:09pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
redchicAre you born Ode, you seem to reason like one. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 7:09pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Yeap, only saw it as footnote while watching BBC yesternight, but not sure whether it was covered in main news before switching to or after switching from BBC.I guess its no more news that we massacre each other every day. What a shame. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by Pataki: 7:17pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
It was all the Western Media news. CNN is not the only source of news information my dear. That said, Nigeria is in real trouble if we still reason that killing one another makes progress to the nation. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by Nobody: 7:56pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Will it change anything if CNN,BBC, SKY and the rest report this story. Why the unnecessary clamour for publicity. Nigerians have been killing themselves over things as small as "pure water" so this is not new to the world. When we finally get rid of our animalistic traits, the world will have our time. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by JosBoy4Lif(m): 7:59pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
This is a retarded Thread. If white people had been targeted in Nigeria, it would have made headline news in the west, right away. We always hear about 1 lonely foreign worker kidnapped in Niger-Delta. That is the answer to your rather rhetorical question. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by Mamajama(m): 9:50pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Jos is of no significant or financial impact to the global or western world. How can the western media not say a word about an atrocities that claimed over 400 innocent peoples lives? and yet all we saw over the weekend was India? Time for Nigerians to wake us |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 9:54pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Jos is of no significant or financial impact to the global or western world.To an extent that they were discussing about a dog that was accidentally killed somewhere in the US when over 400 Nigerians are being slaughtered. Pathetic. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by NegroNtns(m): 10:16pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
To an extent that they were discussing about a dog that was accidentally killed somewhere in the US when over 400 Nigerians are being slaughtered LMFAO. . . RedHot, Listen, we have a very porous borders. I fear that in not too distant future these machettes will be replaced with explosives smuggled in from Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and other areas. It' only a matter of time. . ., the massacres are becoming very frequent and predictable. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by thehomer: 10:19pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Their main aim is to focus on stories that are important to the countries they serve. The fact here is that the attacks in India is of more importance to them than Nigerians killing themselves in their own country. I mean they do have greater business ties with India than Nigeria. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by arramyjay: 4:11am On Dec 02, 2008 |
I think the reason is that the riot is baseless it doesnt make sense.Why kill innocent people. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by OgidiBoy(m): 4:17am On Dec 02, 2008 |
I think it's because there is no oil in Jos, I'm sure if this had happened in the delta region of Nigeria it would have been allover Fox News. And sadly the incident in India this weekend got most of the attention. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by bawomolo(m): 4:24am On Dec 02, 2008 |
it got some coverage on the net. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by naijaking1: 4:43am On Dec 02, 2008 |
Am I missing some thing? What benefit could have come out of a full news coverage of Nigerians killing fellow Nigerians? |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 6:56am On Dec 02, 2008 |
[b]I think the reason is that the riot is baseless it doesnt make sense.[/b]Why kill innocent people. So the terrorism in India made some sense? |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by vowiski(m): 7:01am On Dec 02, 2008 |
IT ACTUALLY MADE HEADLINE IN CNN; DEC 1st it doesnt actually need much coverage, because the reason for the disaster was obviously DUMB! compared to terrorism. Nigerians killing themslefs for mere polls, it's worth ingnoring. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 7:22am On Dec 02, 2008 |
IT ACTUALLY MADE HEADLINE IN CNN; DEC 1stDec 1st? that's like 5 days after the mayhem. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by vowiski(m): 7:29am On Dec 02, 2008 |
yea. that's true |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by RedHotChic(f): 7:40am On Dec 02, 2008 |
LMFAO. . . Grin Are these machete mercenaries foreigners? From where? |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by scottN(m): 7:47am On Dec 02, 2008 |
The World would rather like to get an update on World Terrorism since it cuts across than an Ethno- Religion crises ignited by some individuals and confined within d borders of a single country. |
Re: Why Did The Western Media Ignore Jos? by arramyjay: 8:04am On Dec 02, 2008 |
RedHotChic: Oh it didnt but at least we all knew it was a terriost attack,but this in jos alot of people are confused as to what caused it.we don't even knw wht it is.And as long as it is terriost attack it concern usa one way or the other,because they were a victim too. |
