Why will a news medium pack its
supposed news article with a bunch of
lies? Or why will a reporter and the
editor, who are meant to disclose truth to
the reading public embark on a fictitious
journey misleading the very audience that
they are meant to inform. Could there be
a hidden agenda that TheTrentOnline is
trying to implement?
Writing under the headline “Osinbajo
insulted by El-Rufai, Walks Out on
President Buhari”. TheTrentOnline
completely fabricates scenarios that is not
known to truth. Not only that, the website
makes references to previously baseless
claims that have been conclusively
rebutted and dismissed, ignoring the very
basic ethical commitment to truth of a
journalist and a media outlet.
In one of its latests fictions presented as a
news report, with the headline above, the
website reported that “A few weeks back,
our investigations reveal, the tension
between Osinbajo and El-Rufai came to a
head when Governor El Rufai insulted
Vice President in a meeting in the
Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, and
Osinbajo reacted by denouncing El-Rufai
and walking out of the meeting which had
President Buhari presiding”
TheTrentOnline did not disclose the time
of the said meeting, the agenda of the
meeting or the specific cause of the
purported disagreement, yet the only
website, went to great length to purvey
such aspersions.
A simple investigation in Aso Rock easily
as revealed, that there were no such
incidents. Besides, it is well known that
the relationship between the President
and the Vice President has been one of
cordiality and mutual respect, equally the
relationship between the President, Vice
President and the Governor of Kaduna
State is also of mutual respect. There are
several ongoing government initiatives
around which the Vice President and the
Kaduna State government have worked on
and are still working together, unlike
what TheTrentOnline claimed, there was
no meeting in the presidency or anywhere
where the governor insulted the Vice
President nor was there any meeting
where the President or Vice President
walked out as reported by the news
outlet.
This curious “news report” attempts to
befuddle the reader and create an
impression of confusion. It also tried to
belittle without cause, the personalities of
the President, the Vice President and the
Governor of Kaduna State. Who or what
set of individuals will have the motive
and the desire to create such impression?
I will soon come to address that question.
The report claims that the President
prefers to have a Northerner as his right
hand man, deliberately ignoring the fact
that the President has surrounded himself
already with several aides and assistants
both from the North and from the South,
covering all grounds of the nation.
The report also tried to rehash some of
the failed campaign talking points
deployed before the election, to paint
then General Buhari as a religious fanatic.
Not only have Nigerians seen through
such blatant falsehood, the President has
come to be known as a real Pan-Nigerian
patriot since his emergence in December
1983 as the Head of States. What is more,
in the March 28presidential elections, a
vast majority of Nigerians that voted,
validated President Buhari’s nationalist
credentials. Retelling the old tales that
Buhari would never have appointed a
Southerner or a Christina, TheTrentOnline
conveniently but questionably ignores the
fact that Buhari had always picked
Southern Christians as running mates.

This news report that is awash with ill
feelings and mischief also claimed that
governor El-Rufai forced the hands of the
President to appoint Amina Bala Zakari as
the acting INEC Chairman. The website
made all these claims without providing
any scintilla of proof. The so called news
report also continued the pure falsehood
regarding the alleged exclusion or locking
out of the Vice President from Security
Council meeting when many Nigerians
have since found out, that not only is the
Vice President a constitutional member
on the Security Council, but that the
President personally invited the Vice
President to the Security Council
meetings, But this harbingers of lies
continue to lie through their teeth that
the Vice President was excluded. Again,
short of quoting anonymous sources, the
website provided no proof for it’s wild
and outrageous claims.
Why is TheTrentOnline so committed to
falsehood, ill-will, and this desperate acts
of wickedness. Is it because the owner of
the website Aziza Uko Douglas, is a paid
crony of former President Goodluck
Johnattan, who is an active client of her
Ziza Media Group? Or could it be that
TheTrentOnline is committed to
misleading Nigerians about the President
and the Vice President, because it’s owner
is a well known ally of Reno Omokri, the
infamous Special Assistant to former
President Johnattan on New Media.
While we will leave those questions for
well meaning Nigerians can read through
the lines, it is important to say that those
who intend to be considered as fair
participants in the public place ought to
do so with a sense of fairness, personal
integrity, commitment to accuracy and an
absolute desire to publish the truth, and
not fictions. He who seeks equity must
come with clean hands. If Ms. Aziza Uko
Douglas wants to show her gratitude to
her paymasters, it is all well and good,
however, it is unconscionable for her and
her website to resort to denigration of the
President of Nigeria, his Vice President
and the Governor of Kaduna State. Basic
human requirements of decency, imposes
upon the publisher of TheTrentOnline to
respect the truth.
Writing fictions, making outrageous
claims, and spewing lies cannot advance
the cause of anyone, including individuals
who are sponsored to tarnish the
respectable image of others, or those of
the sponsors themselves. Stop the lies!

Seun, Lalasticlala, I'll continue to harp on this: be wary of the propagation of publications of these sites on your forum-

1. Thetrentonline.

2. Thebreakingtimes.

3. Savingracereporters.

4. Hopefornigeria.

5. Guardiannewsusa.

We know their antics and what drives them to publish the things they do.

Lalasticlala, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to take this to the homepage let a lot more people get to know who's behind that website, and what they stand for.

Thanks.
