A BIG HAMMER TO #FFK'S COFFIN FROM VETERAN JOURNALIST Asaju Tunde

I can share my column later. This Can't Wait
By Asaju Tunde
-----------------------------------------------------------

As a journalist, I am simply outraged; first to read the views of my chairman, Emmanuel Ogbeche and later to see the clip of my dear sister, Ruona J. Meyer on events in Calabar. It's still early in Ottawa and I need to take it easy today so that I don't transfer my aggression on others (including members of my own family). But I am totally miffed!

I mean, this is an assault on journalism. Journalism is a noble profession. A profession that have rules. A profession that is practiced by the best of the world - yes (subtract me). Canada's Deputy Prime Minister is a journalist! The founding fathers of Nigeria - Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe were journalists!

I am disturbed and totally angry that a rabble rouser, a lickspittle, an abysmally corrupt, inept and uncouth Femi Fani-Kayode would insult a journalist the way he just did and get away with it. I am totally angry that this idiot of no compare would exhibit his madness on a halpless journalist who was only holding him accountable to the ideals he wants to be credited with, but which he lacks both in character and comportment.

But above all, I am totally disturbed, that colleagues who were present did not see this as assault on their profession, on their own integrity and on their noble profession - they were nodding heads and apologizing like agama lizards that they all are.

I am disturbed that a tv station even uploaded it with a caption that FFK reacts to a rude journalist! I am shocked that this is happening in 2020. I mean, Donald Trump has done worse to journalists, but he has also received worse. No journalist worth his calling and training should be insulted like that by a fraud! FFK is a fraud! I say so!

I think the NUJ should not let this lie low. If it does, it would have created a precedent and who knows what happens next. Maybe he would assault a journalist because he is a lawyer...there are lawyers in our profession too. Chuks Ohuegbe is a lawyer, Shareef Mohammed is a lawyer, Mohammed Adamu is a lawyer and there are many more. Sir Richard Akinola II is a respectable lawyer with a veritable source of income and a mileage of philanthropy that Fani Kayode would never reach in seven lifetimes, he is a journalist. Need I mention more?

Fani Kayode has no known job. He has never been known to have won a single case anywhere in life. His record of mental health issues is well known. Here is a man who has no decency or decorum. Here is a man who attacks everything that moves. Here is a man who kisses and tells...that is the lowest of the low. Here is a man who is hiding under judicial privileges to escape justice for corruption. Which of the journalists he denigrates carries this plethora or evil resume? None!

Yes, maybe people collect brown envelopes. But if there are no givers, there would be no takers? What are those giving brown envelopes trying to hide? That is also an issue, not that I support inducing journalists.

I am interested in what happened after this press conference. I'll be monitoring how his threat to report the journalist to Daily Trust would be resolved. I am waiting for the official reaction of the Daily Trust Management to this assault on their reporter. A news organization is as good as how it allows idiots treat its reporters.

Fani Kayode must be told in no unclear terms that he has no integrity to protect. He should go and clear his case before the courts with evidence. If he was picked up and detained, it would not have been for telling truth to power - it would have been for hate speech that he spews out daily; and it must have been for his shameful record in public office. FFK has no integrity to protect. We are all witnesses to his record in service, his dodgy lifestyle.

No journalist should endure insult from anyone. If you ask a question, you want answers. If people are not ready to give answers, they are free to walk away, but assault and insults does NOT come with the profession. No colleague must stand by and watch his comrade denigrated the way FFK has done to the Daily Trust reporter.

NUJ must investigate this. What happened before the question? What happened after the press conference and if people are known to (as would probably be) have egged on this demented idiot in his tirade just because of the brown envelope that comes after the deal, then, something must be done.

We must save journalism from charlatans and from political jobbers who want to hide under one finger. This assault on my profession by people of doubtful character MUST STOP.

Bull's eye!

jlinkd78:
Without releasing d full unedited version the management of Daily Trust has said nothing. Independent minds like us can only mediate and pass judgement only when d undoctored version is made known so till then I stand with FFK

Between you, FFK and Buhari, i am still trying to determine who mumu pass.

The management of media trust are themselves irresponsible with this kind of press release. There is too much chaos.

Who is bankrolling your trips?!

Simple answer; I am bankrolling the trip from my monthly income, my registered business, my Youth Corper Alawe, my civil servants pension, bet Naija tickets I won etc

Oga stay in your Canada jeeje. God has liberated you from this shit jole called Nigeria. Ema hale ma Kayode wa. Kilenikanse tenikan ose ri, EMA hale ma Kayode wa. If you have any grouse with FFK take that up elsewhere. We are no fools. That journalist made an assertion not a question......we don't know who is bankrolling your trips....Is that how they ask question in Canada? I doubt not. Ema paja lobo fun wa. Liberty does not mean lack of decorum. This is Nigeria where PHD means Pull Him Down and many of our journalists are falling for such. The political atmosphere is getting tensed in the country on a daily basis. People are getting angry because of failed promises from our politicians. See what is playing out in Edo & Ondo States among the political gladiators? Is that how politics is being done in Canada? Poverty is biting very hard for your information hence it is becoming very difficult to distinguish between sincere & sponsored journalism. The noble profession is already being bastardized by half baked & hungry journalists. Investigative journalism is not being practised like before. Gone are the days of Daily Times, Sunday Times, Daily Sketch, Observer, New Nigeria etc. We therefore need to be critical critic of a critical situation. We should bid bughouse mentality good bye. NUJ needs to embark on serious training & re-training of its members on ethics of the noble profession to avoid such embarrassment in future.

Noblejay7:
I wonder why the journalist had to apologize. FFK only wanted to avoid that question by trying to intimidate the poor journalist.

The NUJ also needs to take an action against him. They should demand for an appology and if he refuses, NUJ can order it members not to give coverage to that his useless tour.

How can a professional journalist ask such question? that is a very silly question. That journalist needs more training. Presently ffk is not a public office holder, he is not accountable to anyone.

He was over the top. A leader should learn how to control themselves.

RenaissanceGuy:
Very good!
The man only asked him who was bankrolling his visits, not who is paying him for his social media onslaughts against the govt

A professional journalist can't ask such stupid question

HawkToBar:

Idiots,...why would he ask him that?
Is his father's money missing?

Go to court

I think FFK is becoming a loose dog who needs to be tamed

Somebody tell FFK, he needs a media adviser. When you unsheath full rounds of a bazooka on a fly, no one sees if the fly had perched severally before you got even. His barrage of insults in a fit of irritation will forever be used against him,no matter the level of decency he displays to make up for it.
Next time, pls, let his media adviser have journalists screened and perhaps respond FIRST...anyway Naija big man attitude in display

Jeux:
"do you know who you are talking to"
Why do Nigerians like using this phrase ?

inferiority
That's d only way thy gain confidence

J111333:
Ask me that kind of stupid question and I will give you a configured slap.
FFK was lenient enough to show his anger verbally.
A journalist doesn't have the license to be rude and stupid. The silly man is likely a nairalander who come here to insult people and he disorganizedly forgot he was face to face with FFK.

Nonsense.

oga thankGod say I no b d journalist,I go take m make name,use m contest election self .....I can even say it to ffk face that I'm more patriotic Nigeria than him
I fit slap m join,he was lucky to meet a novice with little or no cash in his account

I don't have problem with FFK. But how could the journalist's colleagues put blames on him for the innocent question? One of them was telling him "shebi I told you, you see your life".

Few weeks ago a journalist asked Donald Trump if he has ever lied in the last 3 years of his presidency. Trump just ignored the journalist and move to the next person

Honestly i saw nothing wrong in that question unless there is something FFK is hiding.
For me I wouldn't have taken those insults lightly.
The journalist tried in maintaining his cool.

FFK is a disgrace
See, most people won't take the criticism they ditch others
That's how PMB & APC then almost cursed GEJ to hell but now will arrest common protesters and even ban any media publishing words directed at the govt
Honestly, FFK must never castigate govt again.
If he does, I'll post this video on his timeline

I swear, na that journo loose guard. His Children will blame him for conceding to such a National disgrace without being able to defend himself! I no blame FFK, even though wrong, Na the journo i blame.

the poor nigga was just being scared of loosing his job! we need to do better as humans. sincerely

Lovely!!!
It was sad watching Femi Fani Kayode do what he did to the daily Trust journalist. He ranted and raved and insulted and abused the poor journalist for asking him the mere question of who was sponsoring his travels all over the country.
Fani Kayode is a dreg of society. He is a media creation because it is this same media he is denigrating that he cunningly and surreptitiously uses to spread his message of hate all over the place. I am not really surprised by his outbursts because he has a history of being an unstable being but I am totally done by the response of the journalist being abused. He kept on apologising as if he was not sure of his ground while Fani Kayode rained all kinds of abuse on his character and personality. It was cringeworthy.
And after hurricane Fani Kayode swept out of the hall in all his arrogance and pomposity I could hear colleagues of the journalist berating him for asking such a question probably because Fani Kayode was no longer going to drop the usual BROWN ENVELOPE for the boys!
This was a SAD,SAD day for Nigerian journalism!

More disturbing is the mumu journalist saying "sorry Sir".

Most disturbing is the other journalists in the room looking on.

God knows, if I was there i would have said

"But Sir, who is bankrolling your trips?"

If 2-5 journalists there repeatedly asked the same question in solidarity, he would realise his foolishness

I've been following this story but haven't said anything.
Reason: I am yet to see the full video where the journalist asked the question, made the statement, insulted FFK, and how he did it.
Why on Earth would anyone remove that part of the video before releasing the clip on social media.
Something is not adding up here.
I hope the real story comes up someday.
