Can you believe stories like

Tribune - OBJ betrayed me –Yar’Adua • Turai consults with spiritualists in Mecca - 01/02/2010
Vanguard - Yar’Adua begs Saudi Monarch for ambulance - 01/02/2010

Does it even make sense to the Editor Publishing it?

When ever the following are used in Nigeria's media [see below], I think the true meaning are next to each phrases. grin

"reputable resources" = Baseless story

"We have the proof" = Hearsay

"Authoritative sources" = Some random people who offers 3rd rate information that maybe or not at all correct.

"Eyewitness account" = Take it with a pinch of salt, after all Nigerians are known to exaggerate a lot.

From the depth of their subconscious is where: "Obasanjo Apologises To Nigerians". All Nigerian journalists have mistaken freedom of the press for licence to lie.
