The Nigerian Media And The Destructive Tendency by Noneroone(m): 2:00pm On Nov 23, 2019
This Morning the Nigerian Media space has been awash with planted story of how the Chairman of Air Peace was indicted by the US Department of Justice over alleged money laundry and bank fraud. The first observation is that it was one version, published by our so-called reputable newspapers. There is no different aspect of rhe report. It was simply almost word for word in all the papers. That means the entire story is from one source.
The entire story of indictment spins around an excess transfer of $20m into account (s) managed by one of the registered companies linked to Onyema, the Air Peace Chairman. About three agents of the US Department of Justice were quoted and no explanation was reported on the part of the companies of the Air Peace Chairman.
But the bottomline is that all the transactions and explanations centred on the purchase of aircrafts as explicitly contained in the report planted to generate bad blood.
This has gained massive attention by the Nigerian because of the inherent plot to always destroy based on ethnic consideration.
The US Government has been permanently at war with several Chinese companies over several claims of fraud, hacking or money laundry.

But it has always been fought on the level of defence from the Chinese Government.
Even the dispute between Apple and Samsung had clearcut interventions of government intervention. Whilst Samsung was found guilty by US Courts, the Korean Courts gave Samsung soft landing by finding both companies guilty.
In the case of Nigeria, the Media and Federal Government through her agencies will team up to scandalise the Air Peace Chairman.
The next story you will hear is EFCC claiming that they will cooperate with the US Department of Justice. The country has become a place where citizens cannot count on the support of the Federal Government and her agencies when they face challenges.
It must be stated that the Chairman of Air Peace Allen, Onyema described the allegations of fraud and money laundering made against him by the United States authorities were false.
He said ” “The allegations are unfounded and strange to him,” Onyema’s lawyers A. O Alegeh & Co. said in an emailed statement on Saturday morning.
“Allen Onyema has a track record built on honesty and integrity and will take all necessary steps to clear his good name and hard-earned reputation.”

Is the Nigerian media biased?

The answer is yes; but mainly across the regional divide; at the expense of the north; particularly against her tribes, leaders and major religion.

Who owns and dominate/controls the Nigerian media?

Answer: southerners, including the south easterners; who furthermore dominate the social media; constantly churning out toxic hate, misinformation and Fake News.

If so; then why would the said media now turn against one of its own? - it just doesn't make sense.
