Managing Director of News Agency of Nigeria, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, has angered Nigerians over a post he made on his Facebook profile this afternoon. The post which was ostensibly made to help launder the image of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration had carpeted the media and bloggers for misleading the masses and international communities about the correct situation in the country. In the post, Onanuga relayed how he had told his daughter on the Virgin Atlantic Flight to London "to find out whether the plane was filled up or going to London near empty judging by the noisy campaign from a section of the country about the 'hardship' in our country", to which his daughter had replied: "daddy, the flight was filled up o" He then related "how food was cheap everywhere" on his trip to Jos and Bauchi over the weekend. Onanuga ended the post by charging the media to objectively conduct a reality check about their reports, which he described as "over sensationalising so-called hardship" the country is passing through. The post immediately sparked anger with Nigerians taking to Facebook to attack the journalism giant for being insensitive to the plight of the masses. Many Nigerians who commented on the matter expressed strong views while practically calling him a failure as Managing Director and Editior-in-Chief of TheNews/. Onanuga was the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of TheNEWS/ before he was appointed MD of NAN in May this year. Bayo Onanuga's post My daughter was on the Virgin Atlantic Flight that took off from Lagos to London today. I asked her to find out whether the plane was filled up or going to London near empty judging by the noisy campaign from a section of the country about the 'hardship' in our country. https://www.facebook.com/bayo.onanuga/posts/10157389494535111 See Nigerians responses below 1 Share

when a lie is repeated often enough, it begins to sound like the truth. these people who have the ears of the president are the ones telling him not to mind the noisemakers that all is well just because they are getting crumbs from the master's table. when the country implodes, he will quickly join his daughter abroad & start calling for sanctions on Nigerians. 143 Likes 7 Shares |

Food is cheap in the North. He should visit Rivers State to make unbiased analysis. IMHO the hardship thing is overblown because of politics. The rate of new houses springing up in Owerri and Port Harcourt puts a question mark on the level of hardship. I have a feeling it is felt more by civil servants and traders who depend on foreign exchange. 19 Likes |

Enough of this 18000 minimum wage... Who earns that in the fedral or State services That's level 1 step 1 no body earns that am sure of that.. . Even a ssc holder in government earns over 40k... That's over 480k per month.. If u foolishly think u can get married to a house wife with this... why should u disturb someone?? With 480k per year anyone will survive.. . We are just too bad in these country... What's concerns dollar and garri?? Meat?? Even fish that is imported didn't increase much in price Compared to garri.... 9 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis:ok mrvitalis:ok you just come on line to type nonsense. you are not educated at all. i work with uniben and uniben is fedral. am at bursary department. we prepare the payslip of workers. level 3 step 2 salary is 23000 naira. since buhari assumed office there is nothing like employment in uniben. level 7 usually take home 97000 during past administration but this present administration. level 7 take home 86000. people are leaving federal job. the only benefit about federal job is that no body threatens you with sack letter especially when your appointment have been regularized, you get promoted easily and the salary never stops. jonathan do pay on the 22 of everymonth and buhari own comes on 26. please i just hate you for this comment. did you post this comment out of ignorance or just stupidity.
