In Nigeria it doesn't except when they want to use it for political vendetta!

When you hear news about APC believe me PDP is paying, now that APC is going after all PDP scumbag ignoring those in APC. APC is also paying. Believe me, they are all being used!!!

One of the funny things about Nigerians is that we don`t believe that every action has a consequence. Investigative journalism died in Octtober, 1986 when Babangida sent a letter bomb to one of the best journalists around- Dele Giwa was about to link drug peddling in Nigeria to the Babangida family. Having been to a couple of countries in my short life, I think I can say with confidence that Nigeria used to have one of the best print media in the world. The worst era in the history of Nigeria was the days of Sanni Abacha. From the first day of Sanni Abacha`s dictatorship till he eventually died in the company of prostitutes, the TELL magazine fought him and his fellow murderers relentlessly. What was your reaction the day Ibrahim Babangida sent a letter bomb to Dele Giwa? There was no reaction except from one man called Gani Fawehinmi

I mentioned TELL because it was a magazine that took on a deadly dictator inside Nigeria. Sahara Reporters is based in New York taking on politicians in Nigeria. Most of the news stories you guys are commending Sahara for were passed on to them by nervous Nigerian journalists that are based in Nigeria. Since Sahara Reporters is based in America, I`m waiting for the day it would start to bring the ugly sides of America- the terrible homelessness, the lunatic gun culture, the suffocating poverty, the pernicious racism etc, to the homes and officess of the Nigerian people. Truth is, Sahara would not last if it should start to criticize America while based in America. So blessed are those who can`t be silenced by any power- not by local power, not by foreign power, not by any power.

Of course. Investigative Journalism still does exist.

Just that, Journalists these days, are no more brave, like they were during the military days when IJ thrived...

Have u read Premium Times? Then you woulnt be asking!
If u ve not, stop wasting money elsewhere....from MTN tax fraud, to Aso Rock cabals with Efcc.
I dont miss any.

I believe investigative journalism does exist in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, investigative journalists abound in nigeria. Just that most of them have not been opportuned to exhibit their skills on popular media platforms like Channelstv, Tvcontinental and the likes. A very good example is Edmund Obilo.
Edmund Obilo is an unbiased and fearless investigative journalist. Obilo is a journalist that works with a private radio station, splash105.5fm in Ibadan, Oyo State. He is the anchor of the popular current affairs programme, "Voices'' on Splashfm. Voices is the state of the Nation. The programme is aired on Wednesdays ( 7a.m-11a.m) and on Saturdays (8a.m-11am). It is a live programme. Obilo also anchors "bull's eye" every Monday (11am-12noon).
I think you guys should make out time to listen to his shows and judge if truely, investigative journalism does exist in Nigeria.

You're very wrong, perhaps you haven't read through the comments. Do so and stop flying into conclusion.

Nairalanders need no definition because they're super intelligent, I don't know about you. Do you need the definition
