*is Nigerian Media On A Nation-wrecking Mission.....*? by Deji7474: 8:14am On May 02, 2018
*IS NIGERIAN MEDIA ON A NATION-WRECKING MISSION.....*?

In the Press conference at *The White House* reception for the Nigerian President, *Muhammadu Buhari* yesterday, this is one of the statements made by his host, *Mr Donald J. Trump*, the US President, to wit,

Quote :

*"ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENTS IN NIGERIA, LOCAL,DISTRICT,NATIONAL, MUST WORK TOGETHER TO STOP THE KILLINGS OF CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS....."*
Donald J. Trump...

End of quote.

Read the 1st of May, 2018 newspaper headlines in Nigeria ....

- THE PUNCH : *"KILLING OF CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA MUST STOP"*

- TRIBUNE : *"PROTECT NIGERIANS AGAINST SPATE OF KILLINGS"*

- VANGUARD: *"KILLING OF CHRISTIANS UNACCEPTABLE"*

- THE GUARDIAN: *"KILLING OF CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA IS UNACCEPTABLE"*

Question :

*What informed these newspapers from mis-representing a straight-forward statement by President Trump, rending it divisive, emotionally-charged and inflammatory as they did?*

Apart from perhaps The Tribune, all these papers spinned the story to their mischief-making ends.

Both Vanguard and The Guardian literally used the same language.

Are they owned by the same stable or led by the same Editorial Board

For a long time, I have held to the thought that the so-called menace of "Fulani Herdsmen" on the rampage was an invention of the media...

These criminals are likely offshoots of Boko Haram, now expressing their enterprise of terror in other ways; or some sponsors are behind these unwarranted and criminal killings in some parts of Nigeria.

I do not see professionalism in the behavior of these media outfits.

Rwanda started like this, before the pogrom..

Every democracy needs a fair, honest and uncorrupted media.

The Nigerian media is losing it, please....

Corruption is not only material, you are also corrupt when you twist the truth to serve a nefarious end.
This is what these Nigerian newspapers just did......

I am a Christian but I can confidently tell d world that d Nigeria media is an unprofessional ,wicked and very useless journalism. They are only good in spreading lies, ethnic and religious hate.
The media that is supposed to b apolitical av turned to political tools.
