Bizlifelines201:



I honestly just don't get It, are these letters of caution not issued to DAAR? Is it not true that the NBC followed up with a meeting to draw the attention of the management of DAAR to the infractions? Should NBC just sit down as lameduck and not move against DAAR in the face of DAAR's alleged sustained intransigence and irresponsible professional conduct ?
Where were these BON and NGE in the face of the caution prior to the suspension? How come their own media houses don't do the nonsense DAAR is being alleged of and how does closing down of an irresponsible media organisation amount to gagging of the media?
If the DAAR management have not been encouraging their members of staff to behave recklessly, the
DAAR should be bold enough to fire their personnel messing up their relationship with the regulator.
I think NBC should go beyond sanctioning the corporate organisation and prosecute those members of staff of DAAR and/or report these individuals each to their professional group for investigation and discipline. I still don't know where a board led by High Chief Dokpesi who is on corruption trial for embezzling funds budgeted for prosecution of war against book harem, derived it's moral authority to be referred as member of the fourth estate of realm. I really commend NBC, they're more matured and gave enough ropes to DAAR unlike the case of SEC against OandO that didn't even release the report of infractions to OandO to defend itself before wielding the stick.
I urge the NBC not to be intimidated, they must fine DAAR, insist on a new editorial board for AIT and Raypower and ensure that it gets professional sanctions against the individual recalcitrant journalists posting hate speech etc to ensure that the innocent ones are not punished.
We can't afford to allow a few irresponsible unpatriotic citizens throw us into another needless war or another Rwanda tragedy. The task of nation building is serious business.
NBC should remain resolute like NCC did with MTN.

martineverest:
I stopped watching that show when I noticed that lady scouts hatred..kaakaki show is centered on hatred

awoluyi:
NBC, why now? Please give back DAAR it's operating licence . This is the year I am expecting dividend for the shares I bought in the company in 2005.

ALMUSTAQIM:


AIT, RAY POWER ARE PMB HATERS

wingmanII:


So why was the idiotic president not forced to resign for making such a hate speech? See una dumb hypocrisy. Yeye!

Dino98:



CNN is always against Trump but nothing happened to them but see our own. What has APC not tried??

aolawale025:



Not all manner of infraction should lead to closure. Something's not right

MrMou:

Oga, this isn't about Buhari! There's nothing CNN will do to trump that'll be worse than the distasteful lies called documentary by AIT on Buhari just before 2015 elections, & Buhari didn't do anything to them after elections. You suppose don know by now say Buhari no send you; he'll have done whatever he wants to do to them then & nothing will happen. Una go just wail ni!

Has CNN ever said something close to "Nigeria is cursed; I declare an independent state of Niger Delta" or "Nigeria irritates me" LIVE ON AIR? You think CNN is as lawless as your darling AIT?

QuotaSystem:


Because he's the majority elected President olodo...so una brain no really fit reason that?

The minority have their say while the majority have their way. Democracy not hypocrisy

biolite:
Why are people comparing Trump and CNN News with that of AIT and NBC. CNN report objectivetivity in their reportage while AIT are reporting unbalanced information and this cast alot of aspersions on the Buhari Govt. this warrant breach of some broadcast code ethics and they were summoned with a caution letter earlier.In my opinion let AIT reports be professional and not partisan.Nobody will witch hunt them.Let them put their house in order.

gnykelly:
This can never be classified as witch hunting... DAAR communication has been forewarned of her activities which are contrary to the media law.. You can't be using social media hate post as a reference on national TV... It can escalate tension.

We can't sacrifice our frigile peace because you have freedom to talk any how...

Social media nonsense should stop there o. Social media

Ultimatezlant:
OK,

AIT has been quite partisan in its affairs with an extra effort to promote biased analysis.

People are quick to say trump doesn't disturb CNN that critise him forgetting that Trump himself walked out a CNN reporter out of a news conference for asking questions.

CNN was banned from covering white house until it was revoked by authorities, same Trump so critized CNN in any event that a member of the white supremasist group that killed Jews in Pittsburgh had pro trump and anti CNN images in his bus.

The difference in USA is that press is almost another arm of government which the president has little control of stopping

martineverest:
u aren't current at all. ..when CNN was about to be acquired last year, what happened?

CNN license bhavent been revoked cos they are still professional and follows ethics of broadcasting in USA unlike AIT

Alajiki:
a

Yeah, you're correct. But this infraction has been met with the appropriate measure. AIT is an irresponsible media house. When have you seen Channels or TVC do that nonsense.

By the way I was once a journalist with the most read newsmagazine in the country.

You were making sense at the beginning of your write up. Immediately I saw that "Corruption" , you started sounding like government people, so I stopped reading.

mrbock:





You haven't watched CNN in a long time

People that called trump a Russian agent
orange man, dumb, stupid, racist etc

just to name a few



Don't compare AIT and CNN abeg. They are far worse.

iammo:


.
If we won't allow NBC do its job without sentimental interference, then let them pack and go.

Many people think they are hurting buhari, but unknowingly they are hurting Nigeria's own image, with countries like Ghana and kenya now trolling us.

Khakaki social basically lift off hate speech and inciteful comments on twitter and instablog9j.a



Imediately after the election, AIT aired an edition of moneyline with Nancy, and she went on and on trolling Northerners, saying the Nigerian Poverty wears the northern cap, openly saying northerners deserved "worst for voting PMB. That day i saw the painfull look on my aboki friend, the nonsense totaly ruined his mood for the day, that i had to leave his office.

This is a federal staff that is in an agency that can ruin nancy for life, without the directives of the president




.

mrbock:



Have you watched CNN in the last 3-4 years

They make AIT look Like angels.

but the President cannot revoke their license without great back lash from the DNC

wirinet:


Why do you people behave as if you are autistic. Insulting a president is not the same thing as insulting the country. Reno Omokri, Fani Kayode and IPOB insults Buhari (apart from other favourite targets of Tinubu, Amaechi and Oshiomole), it is when they start inciting the citizens against the country that they have gone too far. CAN had never incited US citizens against the country, just because they don't like the president.

You are a better man than I am, because I couldn’t even get past the first sentence...
Once people start to support censorship based on political content, then we are slip-sliding to full DICTATORSHIP. SMH

People should look at the reasons given by NBC before they revoke the licence of Daar Communication. Daar communication clearly breach the broadcasting code with reckless abandon and so should be sanction period.
