The media. The news, what goes on air, online and on print is the most powerful tool in the right hands, at the same time it may be nothing but ‘9 O’clock news’ , another pop up notification that we immediately swipe to clear or just a boring newspaper that will end up being used in the sale of suya in the wrong hands. He who controls the press, controls the narrative and he who controls the narrative, controls the masses.
As a result of the smear campaign targeted at Senator Rochas, a man who was known as a saint suddenly became hated by his own people. This was all because his enemies controlled the narrative. It was easy to paint a bad picture of him to the world because that’s what the world enjoys seeing; the drama, scandals, bad press, compromising information, dirty laundry, skeletons in the closet, etc. Everybody wants to listen to gossip, or as we like to call it, ‘juicy gist’, regardless of who it is about. The media feeds this misinformation to the world and we feed off of it like almajiris at the park who are finally offered food by a kind traveller.
Over the next couple of months, I will discredit, not just by word of mouth but also with the use of evidence that the world has been grossly misinformed about His Excellency, Senator Rochas Okorocha.

Yours Sincerely
YEMI
