Boko Haram was heavily reported both in the local and international media during GEJ because it suited the political affairs.

Now the same media have gone silent especially over the silent genocide in the Christian middle belt because silence by these same media outfit suits their pay masters agenda.


Buhari is the number one terrorist in sub sahran Africa as it is obvious that both the Fulani militias and Boko Haram activities are benefiting his Fulani hausa jihadist agenda

Meanwhile elements on Nairaland reported the story on the front page as if the entire kogi state was on lock down.

Don't mind them. Do they know how large Kogi state is, and how many kilometres span the entire state? You can still spend 8 hours driving within that state between some communities, and you have not even reached the borders of the state.

we are watching in 4D.

Boko boys dey para...dss dey do cover up.

The truth is their are saboteurs at the dss and army headquarters who know that those arrested might spill beans and so they did the needful.

Next time dss don't waste time. When u arrest them, put needle thru the tiny hole on their pen1s. You can use broom too, then proceed to use a pocket knife to remove their two eyes, trust me before u finish, one of them will confess and tell you who their sponsor is. The answer may shock you to coma though

I take it Nairaland elements are more important than the subject matter in question?

Who is censoring BH atrocities from the media

Hypocrite. So, y did ur media refuse to report it cos if they had done so, i don't think the Nland elements would have hyped it.


U want to crucify those who took it necessary to get u informed, then spare those who want to play u for a fool u are.

I think AlJazeera has been compromised too. Its quite unfortunate that Journalism in our world has been reduced to a play of interests. All of sudden the AlJazeera Journalist are on tour with the NA and Ahmed Idris's former 'weak central government' is now 'a strong central government'. I only pity the ignorant.
