Oh! You think BBC and CNN are omnipresent, you're wrong, they can't be everywhere at all times, there was a sensational story about a mudslide in a village Kenya in 2014 and BBC reported it and blew the casualties way out of proportion, blaming the Kenyan Government and the Government became very embarrassed by the report and swung into action, probed the incident report and it all turned out to be fake news, BBC had to apologise and claimed that the terrain of the village impaired them from gaining access and disclosed that their report was based on the account of a local reporter who gave their Nairobi correspondent the news.


So international media can goof too just like our local ones, after all, they're all human.

PresidentAtiku:
I wish your brother is in the army fighting these terrorists and then having a government filled with lies and lying about casualties all for political gains

No coherence

Government and the military in particular must jettison this habit of living in denial.
They are quick to refute alleged false information or fake news but will not furnish the public with real time situation of ongoing counterinsurgency operations.

Truth is, news must flow, so it is better they lead the way in information dissemination or they will always be refuting or clarifying reports.

The choice is theirs

BBC get sources from local reporters, they don't have men on ground. yes BAGA was attacked but the casualty figures and effects of the attack might be exaggerated. if you are familiar with journalism you'll know that the public believes a story more when an anonymous person is mentioned as the source to a news. its better than telling them its a guess or assumption...

you have points..

Ww

Make we dey deceive ourselves for this country...


From Buhari, to Boko Haram, to Army, Sahara reporters, PDP, APC, wailers and zombies.....

Truth in this administration is just getting scarcer and scarcer by the day. Why is it so hard to tell the truth?? It's as though the APC and NA have been programmed to fear it

I can bet my left hand that a single soldier can't speak proper English talk less of going to war.
Thousands are dead but they foolishly keep lying and denying the truth.

RE: EXCLUSIVE: ‘ABOUT 700 SOLDIERS MISSING, MORE THAN 2,000 TRAPPED’ AS BOKO HARAM TAKES OVER BAGA
AdminDec 28, 20182
Our attention has been drawn to a news story with the headline “EXCLUSIVE: ‘About 700 Soldiers Missing, More Than 2,000 Trapped’ As Boko Haram Takes Over Baga” on Sahara Reporters website alleging that such number of soldiers were trapped and the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) could not do anything to extricate them. This is not only untrue but a deliberate mischief on the part of the medium to create erroneous impression about the military and the concerted effort of the ongoing clearing and mop up operations in the general area. Therefore, no one could give accurate details of the encounter yet, as the troops have been reinforced and are busy with pursuit and mopping up operations against the terrorists.
Consequently, Sahara Reporters is advised to be more responsible in its reportage and always cross check its facts before posting it on its website.
The medium’s position is understandable because the reality on the ground does tally with an earlier scripted or expected narrative handed out by Boko Haram terrorists and their sympathizers as was the case in previous instance. We wish to reiterate that we shall keep the public informed of true position of things in the Theatre.
You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public through your medium.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.

BBC nko? they should also go slam those ones too now

4601CE:
Sahara reporters should be punished for this .
Which yèyé slam

yes punish the free Press for reporting the truth. .

this dictatorship your people are creating....when it comes better don't run anywhere.

The Nigerian Military have become a practical joke! I don't just know if they are so desperate to make the headlines and to show their relevance as a garrison. I must say, I am really bewildered by the landslide decline in decadence of the Nigerian Military, how can you come out publicly to voice out such a con artist move that Boko Haram took over your barracks, where in this world have you seen an insurgent that would be so stupid to come in flesh and blood to the enemy's base; where all sort of ammunition are at a ready point to tear down any form of impromptu siege!! I just can't fathom the logic behind this fallacious and fable news making the rounds on all platform of Baga attack.!

Soldiers can't speak proper English? Lol. You are a big fool for this.

...

Nigerians would have no problem believing you if you have done the right thing and come out to explain what happened instead of some revealing what happened and you coming out to deny it or modify it. Nigerians can no longer stand the lies of present government and even if reporters lie, people tend to believe them than this present government......

Let them die.
I still remember 2 weeks ago I saw 2 goats for soldiers kicking a man's car on the express way while driving ridiculously fast.
I feel no pity for those who oppress us.
Useless men.

Now what are they going to do to BBC? propaganda doesn't win this type of war, get serious and face the terrorist you are loosing patriotic soldiers everyday good men that should never have died if not for lies and deceit and burying them like chickens who deserves to be slammed

Bros leave that guy, some people can go any length to defend the stipends they are getting. BBC or CNN have insiders that give them authentic information even more than our local media.

Fake news only thrive in the absence of timely information disemination from authorized institutions. NA should deal with it.
