Sending inexperienced corper to cover such?

Channels TV got it wrong here except the young man is not on official duty

Journalism has stages & there are things newbie will not be able to handle no matter how brilliant you are in school.

Field experienced is quite different from knowledge you acquired in school



Shut up
So, you think it's just one person they spent?
He must have been part of the team...

The problem is not about sending an "inexperienced Corper" to cover such event.
I recall that prior to the 2015 Presidential elections, another EXPERIENCED Channels Reporter was shot (though he survived, crippled) at a PDP rally in Portharcourt (cant recall his name now), so it is not about the "level of experience" per-say.

The problem is that you dont expect Shites, people who said they were conducting a PEACEFUL PROTESt, to start shooting at people!
They shot and killed a Police Deputy Commissioner of Police on the same day, can we say a DCP is "not experienced" as well, for getting shot and killed by the same Shiites?


We need to look at what is about to happen before our eyes now:
This Shiites are becoming "dangerous and militant" and the trend is that they are getting bolder.
It is said that "a half-blinded eye causes more trouble than two eyes left untouched".
If you are going to blind an eye, make sure it is the two eyes and they are completely blinded.

President Buhari is starting a problem he seems too detached to finish and he is going to saddle the nest Govt after him, with a second Boko Haram debacle!
The Shiites have been reported to have a "Camp" where they undergo military training and weapons handling (reason they could shoot at Police and anything in sight).
They have been reported to be getting funding from a "foreign Govt" thus they will be difficult to just wished-away.

But Buhari is so selfish and self-centered that his first priority is to PERSONALLY LOOK GOOD (just like Trump!), irrespective of what the process of making himself look good, will cause others involved.

Why keep the Shiite leader all these while, if you have nothing against him?

Why not just obey the Court order to release him? Is it something "personal" tha Buhari is trying to achieve with El Zacky or is he just following the dictates of a foreign 'religious' Power, a "Sunni" Saudi Arabia in this case?

And if you have "something" against him, why not approach the Court Judge "in private" (assuming it is one of those security matters that cant be discussed in open court) and let the Court issue and re-issue detention warrants that fits the Bill (it can be done, if you can convince the Judge but dont go before another Shiite-sympathising Judge o! grin ).

Not doing either of the above is what is causing this nonsense that is brewing and about to explode!
I for one will never tolerate any group of people, be they Christian or Muslim, Shiite or Sunni or whatever, that "takes on the Security Forces" when the issue is not "existential" for them (like if the Security Forces are out to exterminate you in a genocidel manner) and you have no choice than to stay alive by defending yourselves till death.

For a group of fanatics to be allowed to become so emboldened that they would murder a whole DCP and kill a Journalist by use of ammunition, is a redline that should never have been crossed and l will visit the full weight of security on them ASAP.

But Buhari is afraid of having "bad publicity" so he does not want to act or do the right thing under the current circumstances.

Buhari has behaved in this manner on so many occassions, even within his own party (remember the Ogun Sate problem betwen Amosu who was campaigning for another party's candidate while still remianing in the APC and campaigning for Buhari at the same time?), as long as it benefits him personally, he pretends as if everything is fine and the rest of you can go to blazes.

Buhari should PLEASE RELEASE this El Zakky (as instructed by the Court) and spare us the bloodshed that is about to start,"IF and I"F he cannot do what is necessary to PRESERVE THE PEACE and stamp out the audacity that allows a group of protesters to use weapons against the Police, the Press and members of the public.
The President's INDICISIVENESS is going to cuase Nigerians a lot of bloodshed, unnecessary bloodshed because the Shiites have tasted blood now and are not about to stop, seeing that the President has decided not to act.

In some jurisdiction, once you kill a member of the force with a weapon, no matter what your initial grouse was, no matter how genuine and worhy your cause is, you have crossed the red line and have become a domestic terrorist and the next people you have to deal with, is the SWAT or Special Forces. Infact, you and your group members are as good as dead.

Anyway, l guess he is not even paying attention to what is going on, he is too busy trying to formulate his next deceptive RUGA MOVE. grin grin

Sorry, I do not buy your rantings.

You're already blaming one group on a protest march for causalities.

The Shi'ites have repeatedly said they are not armed and are only peacefully protesting.

The start of the clash in Abuja yesterday was when police intercepted their march and wanted to disperse them.

I don't see people who are marching in protest with their turbaned clerics, women, children and elderly shooting at police and killing a reporter. This doesn't make sense. It doesn't sound logically.

What happened yesterday shows us a police force that used disproportionate, irresponsible and inconsiderate amount of firepower.

I won't be surprised if the DCP and the reporter were both killed by stray bullets from the police.

And the sad thing is that there are no investigations to determine that. Just rumors flying up and down.

madridsta007:


The South West helped install a Military Dictator because of their hate of GEJ whom they perceived as being “Igbo”. They are smart enough to know the consequences of installing a military dictator in a democracy, let alone a known feudalist. Just because of their hate of Igbo and anything that appears to be Igbo. They deployed their intelligentsia and media assets and that was it. GEJ was regime-changed and Buhari, a sworn feudalist became President of a multiethnic country.

Whatever Nigeria becomes in the next 3 years should be blamed solely on them, not even the North. The North isn’t to be blamed— they rejected Buhari thrice and warned that he isn’t fit for President. The “beautiful” thing about the impending Somalisation of Nigeria (God forbid) is that it will also swallow the South West. Perhaps that’s the lesson they need to help them stop with the Igbo hate.

What Igbo hate? What Igbo hate?

You better blame your Jonathan for being a corrupt, incompetent buffoon who found himself in power and couldn't make good use of it.

Blame him for people picking Buhari over him.

Don't you dare put this on any Igbo hate.

YORUBAS DO NOT HATE THE IGBOS

JONATHAN WAS INCOMPETENT. And did not try his best.
Simple.

Except if you want to remain blind to reason.

Even the most experienced of journalist still lost their lives bringing first hand information to your door step,,it has nothing to do with experience.So stop casting aspersions on Channel TV.These happens all over the world.
You mean to tell me the journalist killed in Syria, Mexico, Palestine etc are all student journalist?

You seem so sure who fired the fatal bullet.

Learn to reason objectively.

This is not the time to take sides; it's tasteless.

Coming from an individual whose favourite antic is writing incoherent brain numbing BS on NL.

Go bother someone else man...it's too early to start teaching you that probability is not on the side of the police in this matter.

You talk too much. Did Channels TV tell you he was handling the coverage as a lead? Or setting up field equipment?

There are observer levels and intern levels in such fields. Where do you want them to do the observation or understudying?

By the way all Corps members should be life-insured and the families handsomely compensated in fatal outcomes like this.

So this is serious like this?
Hmmm. With all the other numbers. Why do we feel this secure cos it has not happened to someone we can relate with?
Insecurity to one is insecurity to all. Injustice to one is as well injustice to all. Let's all call on this government to stop this and respect the court injunction at worst go to appeal court and give the guy incarcerated a fair hearing.. We are all Nigerians we deserve fair hearing at least. Because they are the govt they shd not be flagrantly disobedient to extant laws of our land
