One of the cardinal principles of journalism is fair and investigative reporting. It goes to the root of the ethics of the profession and it is very essential because the fourth estate of the realm holds the key to how the society perceives and reacts to news. Unfortunately, the era of blogging introduced a dangerous dimension to news reportage. Some bloggers (NOT IGBERE TV) engage in bad practices, elevating sensationalism over quality investigation, throwing people's integrity under the bus just so they can amass clicks and likes.

Recently, news was awash in the media about a Nigerian who was arrested in Thailand over love scam which involved about 2.6 billion naira. Instead of Nigerian journalists and bloggers to do a proper investigative journalism and hear from all sides with a view to finding out the truth, they indulged in sensational reporting without facts. Chief among the bloggers who sensationalized Igwe Jerome Ezeneche’s ordeal was the popular blogger, Linda Ikeji ,who even at her level in the media has not thought it wise to up her game and inculcate the tenets of best practices required in her kind of business to make it a more enduring platform. Apparently, she is still living for the moment, for traffics, shallow comments and fleeting buzz. It is the only way we can explain why she threw caution to the wind and in the process maligned and tarnished the image of a respected Igbo man doing legitimate business in Thailand. This write up serves as a an admonition to bloggers and journalists to stay true to the demands of their calling, toeing the line of investigation and hearing the other side for balanced reportage. It is a sacred duty they owe the society.

Even though Igwe Jerome Ezeneche was arrested, arrest does not amount to conviction anywhere in the world. For the records, Ezeneche is one of the most respected Nigerian in the diaspora and has been in Thailand for over 12 years doing legitimate businesses and contributing to his host country through prompt payment of taxes and social responsibility. He is the founder of TEN TEN restaurant, the first and biggest African restaurant in Thailand and the entire Asia. He is also the first Nigerian licensed BDC operator in Thailand. Apart from being a businessman, he is one of the most philanthropic Nigerians in Thailand and part of his numerous roles is his prison ministry in Thailand which enables him visits our brothers in prison with the aim of assisting them financially and providing legal aids to them. Ezeneche also ensures that wards of Nigerians whose fathers were deported or are in prison are well taken care of.

Again, from Thailand, he still offers financial assistance to deported Nigerians so they can establish businesses to begin a new life. The beneficiaries of Ezeneche’s philanthropy are not only Africans as he extends his large heart and hands even to the Thai and people of other races.

It is instructive to note that just like most societies with working systems, being wealthy to a certain threshold attracts investigation by the authorities. It is a regular feature, meant to keep the society sane and check illegal enrichment. The investigation becomes more intense when the wealthy person is a foreigner, especially an African. Regardless of how we mouth equality, there are sometimes traces of racism and stereotyping in some of these investigations. They are hard facts and bitter truths that are better confronted than wished away. This background explains what led to the arrest of Chief Ezeneche.

The recent unfortunate arrest of Ezeneche has all the trappings of premeditated humiliation, harassment, embarrassment and defamation, and that is why he has sworn to press for damages against these rogues in uniform, masquerading as law enforcement agents. It is clearly a case of witch-hunting. Not one thing was found on him and here is a man who has never had any criminal case anywhere in the world even though he is well travelled. Ezeneche is bent on putting these officers that are battering the image of the Thai police where they belong. This unnecessary and unwarranted embarrassment is an insult to Africa’s most successful businessman in Thailand and even to Africa as a continent.

For him, it is foolhardy for a person of his status who has been involved in so many legitimate and viable businesses to entangle himself with illegalities which may lead to tearing down the reputation and the goodwill he has labored so hard to build over the years. This is a man who is into mining, a reference point in bakery materials with a known franchise, an international restaurateur who has travelled almost all the countries of the world, a licensed BDC operator and the first Nigerian in Thailand to be licensed in that business. What really will he achieve with fraud? When this issue of his business integrity came up, even though he was outside the country, he hurriedly travelled back to present himself and clear his name, putting paid to doubts about his transactions. No criminal will willingly submit himself to authorities of a stringent country like Thailand when declared wanted for questioning. Only the guilty are afraid.

The likes of Linda Ikeji should do well to inform and not misinform their readers. They should also learn the art of follow up on their news reportage. That is the hallmark of excellent journalism. When they report that Chief Ezeneche was arrested, they should also report the result of the investigations and his release, with apologies. Chief Ezeneche was released almost immediately after his arrest. It is sad that the overzealous bloggers didn't capture that. For them, it is not news. It matters not to them that they are playing Russian roulette with people's reputation without any care in the world. Truth is, nothing incriminating or evidence has been found that is suggestive that Ezeneche has done anything wrong in his business transactions. This is only a case of overzealous policemen who wants to shine with the arrest of an African 'big boy' even on fake charges just to score cheap points, and it has sprinkles of racism.

Oga, Are you his PA? Why are you laundering his image down our throat? Let him go and defend himself at the courts if his hands are clean and stop disturbing our cyber space with this gibberish.

History555:
Rubbish. King of who. How many lgbo people in Thailand know this idiot. People who did not attain royalty in their village will travel out and start calling themselves king. Motor will jam dem

is he the cause of the severe poverty in your family?

If u touchlight the guy matter very well u will see that he's a drug lord in Thailand

kingsceedon:


You be Hausa person?

No , I be Fulani

Igwe of Thailand??, Igbos re too much abeg..

Thegracefulness:
Whoever paid for this post and the individual that dedicated his time to write it, should come and do a feature on why Nigerians should vote for the actor Chiwetalu Agu as President come 2023. And then Mr John Okafor, a.k.a Mr. Ibu as his Vice President.

Sponsored thought pieces like this belong in the advertorial section.

Listen and listen attentively, whatever you’re doing for money, best believe, ninety-nine days for the thief, one day is for whatever gods your customers believe in.

table dey turn, life fit shock you so always stand on equity and fair judgement.

I just Googled the name and there was nothing I could find about the man.

How on earth did you conclude that he is the most respected man in the whole of Thailand? A whole country?

The stupidity of some ass-lickers is disgusting. Even as a fellow Igbo man, I am severely pissed off by this hogwash of an article.

Why it even made frontpage is a proof that Nairaland is fast fading away in terms of quality. If there's a contemporary forum that offers Nigerian based content, please let me know so I can deactivate this account for good.

Mekudi:
You can never hear this good news about Emirs

the ones that use rags to cover there heads that's without brain or which emir again

Oweku:
The best tribe to represent this country outside is igbo and they are also the worst..

Take it or leave it..

Wrong! Any tribe can represent Nigeria. All tribes have good, bad and ugly so it has nothing to do with tribe bt the individual.

demolinka:
Very commendable juxtaposition of sagacity and climatic resonance, ensconced in a matrix which obfuscates the resplendence intertwined with the pineapple...

All this is about the pineapple?

nothing reasonable was said in the whole post, just a case of image laundering. The op did not even state what makes the man innocent or state what makes the man the most respected even above the leaders of the country. The way we worship money in Nigeria is why we'll remain backward for a long time.

OP or the blogger i dont know who is trying to paint 10 10.
This is a guy i have known in Thailand since 2009, his shop is at Pratunam , soi 16 petcheburi. He is a good business man but not the kind of king and angel you writing about.

He does not have the first Nigerian restaurant and he does not have the biggest.

I thought nairaland is for serious news.

@OP, If not that 10 10 is my friend, i would have given you 10 10 biography that is opposite the crap you writing. You are just a praise singer to collect some money or induce him to travel one of your relatives.
You are exposing 10 10 the more. And you putting his life in more danger. This guy has been living coded-ly after he got problem and was shown on tv.

Yes he has a legit business for cover.

Thank you.

PR job. Image laundering. You were obviously paid for this long write-up.

That he hasn't been caught today doesn't mean he can't be caught tomorrow. Keep doing your image laundering.

Igwe King of Sabu and Tipu. Bodoh!

At 3: 00 am on January 15 Bundy entered the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University and murdered two girls before heading off to search for more victims. When he entered a third girl’s room with a bat for a weapon, he saw a rosary clutched in her hand, dropped the bat and fled.

Later the girl told authorities that before she left for college she had promised her grandmother that she would pray the rosary every night for protection, even if she fell asleep in the process. This is what she had done that night, and she was still holding the rosary when the murderer entered her room. Bundy later confessed to over thirty murders.

Father Joseph M. Esper says in his book With Mary to Jesus, "Ironically, when Ted Bundy was on death row, awaiting execution for his crimes, he asked Monsignor Kerr to serve as a spiritual counselor, and the priest took the opportunity to ask about that terrible night. Bundy explained that when he entered the girl's room, he had fully intended on murdering her; some mysterious power was preventing him."

Father Esper adds, "And not only does it (the rosary) aid our own spiritual growth -- it also undermines the kingdom of Satan. The famous Vatican exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth testified, 'One day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an exorcism, "Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew how powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end."'

Pray the rosary daily for protection and to defeat the forces of Satan!

Gibberish!
