If there's any conspiracy at all, it would be between the media and the Nigerian Government...not the APC. The APC isn't the one promulgating a war against Boko Haram. The service chiefs are soldiers and not politicians and the poor soldiers been killed at the frontline aren't members of any political party. Reducing these unfortunate calamities to the level of party politics is highly disrespectful to the troops, especially those of them who have died in the ongoing campaign against terrorism. The Federal Government under President Buhari have so far failed to do their jobs and should be called out for their failure, just like the last government was.

That said, I think the media needs to ramp up its game as far as reporting the ongoing war against Boko Haram. A situation where foreign News outlets like Reuters, CNN, AP, Al Jazeera, and the likes have their correspondents embedded with the troops at the frontlines of the war, while our journalists report hearsay news from their studios in Lagos and Abuja is an aberration.

The Nigerian media need to tell the stories of these valiant soldiers who daily pay the supreme sacrifice for the safety and unity of the country in such a way that they don't end up playing to the agenda of the terrorists which is to spread fear, tension and mistrust across the land. Publicity is the oxygen that terrorists need to further their agenda.

Am I by this encouraging the apparent media blackout of the Boko Haram crisis? HELL NO!

All I am saying is that the media needs to evolve a better way of reporting same story such that it highlights the bravery of the soldiers who stood and fought to the last despite the dearth of quality weapons supply from the government.

For instance, when a Newspaper leads with a headline like "Boko Haram Overruns Military Base...Kills 100 soldiers! Others Flee!" like you will read in the average Nigerian Newspaper, it goes a long way in furthering the agenda of the terrorists. It spreads fear and impugns the courage and sacrifice of those soldiers that most likely stood and fought till the last. The ones that are left become demoralised and lose the will to continue. Sometimes, beyond the guns and other weapons of war, all a soldier has is his morale. When that is lost, ALL IS LOST!

Bottomline, the Nigerian Media needs to raise its game in order to become more relevant in the scheme of things.

asuustrike1:

And who anchore boko haram ?

Ask oga Jona, their brother

This is all about money. The newspapers are not making enough money and if they can get sponsored front pages, they will jump at it.

Quite sad about the soldiers. May their souls rest in peace.

BafanaBafana:

Ask oga Jona, their brother

Does that translate to them sponsoring boko haram?. No.

Iamgrey5:
Responsible opposition don't play politics with national security.

The government doesn't have to release information to the public; it depends on the sensitivity of the ambush to national security.

They can send their individual families condolences.

that is the way the world is today. even apc did it before they came to power. what happened to the numerous condolences they were sending through the media in 2014?
the point is that, you don't hide the death of a soldier because of politics. a soldier deserve his respect.
how is honoring their death an information that can jeopardize national security?
I don't like Nigeria soldiers but truth is always Truth

@ emboldened read my post again, you seem not to understand.

BafanaBafana:
Pdp think they have successfully captured the middle belt through herdsmen killings. Now they are channelling the resources to empowering boko haram in the north. Atiku is now a philanthropist on boko haram issue and an activist. It will not work because we all know who Atiku is

You're a big dunce oh...! So, you refused to delete the picture of this your elder brother who stole yam tubers at Zaki Biam market, instead you cut off someone wearing eye glasses and joined with your brother. You didn't do it well because a poor thief can't afford that type of specs.

all i know is that only buhari is moving to the next level

Iamgrey5:
@ emboldened read my post again, you seem not to understand.

not making a public announcement on their death means hiding their death. the presidency does not own the army. the army belong to the people .
the president was voted in to manage the people army and the people deserve to know what is happening to their army. it is called accountability

Who doesn't know our media has been gagged? Although sometimes I find it hard to feel for our military. A university student of UNIJOS was killed in by dis same military nd up till today, d media didn't do much about it. It wldnt hv been same b4. First, d media wld hv asked why there was no enough security in des students' hostel up until d time d students got attacked nd in d process of defending demselves, d military came to show demselves.... D media has been gagged nd it's going to affect eveybdy soon. As for Sebastian Maimako, your acts re being recorded. A time wld come when dey wld ask you to work for Lalong and Buhari nd you'ld run.

First of all, the point of news is to publicize and create awareness about certain issues.

One can't expect Nigerian news agencies to publicize the lost of Nigerian troops on a battle field as it will be helping our enemies to gain a psychological advantage over our military, it is the same reason why some terrorist groups release videos to show an act of defiance after suffering a defeat.

it's about patriotism here.

This is quite different from a bomb blast or an attack on the positions of civilians. This is about the psychology aspect of a war.

The press in western countries do something similar during Wars

Secondly, you should know by now that 95% of the news reported by the foreign media on Africa are negative news that paints the continent in a bad light. Only bad news about Africa sells in the western world.

So you should expect the foreign media to even exaggerate the figures a bit just to get a story.

Wow.

we don hear

lafuria1:
there is isnt, if anyone feel the attacks are hideen, why not reveal them rather than assume there are hideen attacks going on

You're such a senseless maggot. And there are so many of you here. It's disgusting to say the least.

einsteine:
Of course One of Jonathan's failures was the inability to control the media. APC has mastered that. If the media were to report what's truly going on in this country, we will all know just how terrible this government has been. Most of Buhari"s earliest appointments were for media positions, you think it was for nothing?

You have said it all

It's an evil govt we have in Niggeria

You're talking absolute nonsense. By not reporting Boko Haram's growing menace, the local media is helping the useless Buhari and his disgusting party APC claim success on the fight against the terrorists, and use it as a campaign tool - to claim that Boko Haram has been better dealt with by Buhari than the previous regime. And you want us to be cool with that? Na God go punish you. Bloody Buhari sympathiser.

Did you watch the video at all? You have no blood running in your veins. You are wicked, I repeat you are wicked!
I just lost a childhood friend to this massacre.

deomelo:



You really have to be the most disgusting human being on the surface of the earth.

I know you are full of hate, anger, bitterness, misery and frustration, but your death and evil wishes against the president means you want the same to strike and kill hundreds if not thousands of people from all over Nigerian, including, many from your own towns and villages working inside and outside Aso Rock.



You evil people really should not be part of any sane society.

YOU AINT SEEN EVIL YET.IF AND SHOULD YOUR MENTOR COW MAN GET RE ELECTED THEN YOU WILL KNOW EVIL IN A DIFFERENT PRISM.MEAN WHILE STAY OFF MY POST.

1. We see and read news reports about BH atrocities everyday so any claim otherwise is a reflection of your own intellectual laziness and poor consumption of current affairs.


2. The FG doesn't control the media or dictate editorial decisions and every info including the latest attack on our troops I read came from the Nigerian news media.


3. Sadly, you people care less when the same Nigerian military kill BH terrorists via successful military operations, all you cry and excite yourself over is when we tragically lose heroes in the fight against terrorism because your are anti Nigerian and sadists.

4. We are dealing with this menace today because your PDP uncles were too useless and incompetent to deal with and eradicate BH.

5. Under PDP, BH flourished, they bombed willingly all over the country, including in Abuja the seat of power in Nigeria just a few miles from Aso Rock, but what the GEJ do? He ignored his dead dozens of innocent Nigerians and flew to Kano do dance azonto.

6. The same GEJ approved and stole $2.7 billion NSA anti BH and terror fund, instead of buying weapons, he gave our $2.7 billion to Dasuki/ATM to share with his PDP looting and stealing gang.

7. Under GEJ, BH was blowing up Nigerians left and right and even in control of Nigerian territory with their flags planted everywhere, but such is not the case today.



You evil wishing, unpatriotic and anti Nigerian element losers can not re-write history or negate our successes against BH, we have facts and history on our side.

You have exposed your sympathies. You've shown your hand, and there are no surprises, so I wouldn't waste my time with you.

I have no time to waste with any Sai Baba buffoon who is despicable enough to make excuses for Buhari and APC on a matter like Boko Haram.... There are more casualties of Boko Haram in Buhari's 3 years, then there was in Jonathan's 5 years, yet the media is mute about it, and zombies like you would rationalise it.

You're beyond redemption. Get lost.

noturbusiness:

in humans world, the death of those who lay down their for their country are not hidden. infact government of humans countries do release statement to honor the dead immediately they get killed. but I don't pity the soldiers Sha. they are worst than those in government when it comes to misusing power

Don't mind that guy you quoted, he is one of the lapdogs of this administration and can never see anything wrong with what they do.
I don't know why the party of vipers APC would be afraid of the same poison they dished out to the public against the last administration.
They were very happy to capitalize on the boko haram war to win the election by claiming they will do what they cannot do.
Now that its obvious they have failed beyond measure they now want to censor the news to hide their gargantuan failure.
I remember during the Iraq war after the days news the pictures of soldiers that died that day are displayed on the screen and a moment of silence held for them by most media news agencies then but down here not only are they kept secret they will just be buried like chickens without any form of dignity. Yet they died fighting for the country and that is the best way the shithole country can honour them.
Everything is just wrong with this country and I just want to let those wicked people that are supporting this evil regime to know that they are not innocent of the blood(both military and civilian) that has been shed by this administration since they want it to continue.
In due course their just rewards will be upon them cos that wild beast you are nurturing today will devour you tomorrow.

Terrorism strive on publicity.

Not publicising their atrocities does not stop our gallant troops from flushing them out.

However,those who think this war can be totally won very soon,must be living in fools paradise.

Ignorant and unintelligent Igbos, they spew the same ignorant and ipob zombie nonsense because they can not formulate any sensible, logical or truthful facts and response.


Why not tell us what happened to anti Terror fund Jona stole and gave to Dasuki to share with cronies like fayose and other or disputes the facts I raised?....of course, you are too ignorant, lazy and unintelligent to do so.


Silly ipob

PRYCE:
Lie Mohammed has successfully gagged our media of its independent reportage on the insurgency in the NE.

In Nigeria, Only Premium Times reports about Boko Haram at least frequently... The rest na Reuters, BBC etc.

News organizations like THE NATION, TVC never report breaking news on BH but only do it as an afterthought - after everyone don hear.

We can only pretend as if this practice is new.

Sahara Reporters and Prime Times can never be party to such,it is their kind of news.

"Exaggerating figures". But people were killed. Oh so it's good if they killed just 2 people? As if it's so insignificant?

he seems to be a nice guy with a different opinion . not like some empty idiot who just shout Sia baba and throw insult around on niaraland. that is why I was engaging him.
I don't even like the Nigerian soldiers due to the way they treat civilians but truth is Truth and it must be said. I don't hide the truth because I have to go against my friends

Newpride:
That yesterday’s news of boko haram killing about 100 soldiers may be fake news.

Election is around the corner, fake news will full everywhere but don’t believe them all so u can have peace.

It is not fake news.

In the Sunday night attack, BH killed over 90 soldiers including 2 senior officers.

By Monday, the Army sent a reinforcement from Baga to recover the truck and heavy tanks taken from Maitele by BH, these ones were ambushed and over 50 soldiers killed and a Major captured alive.
