He may or may not support Asiwaju, but he doesn't let that cloud his sense of reasoning or prevent him from being objective on the issues being disussed.
You need to understand the issue being raised with Arise TV and get the proper context.
Ah bros!
If we see truth, make we dey talk am.
Previously, I had only relied of TVC... There was a time I only used Channel 418 until the partisanship became too much and irritating. Almost all their presenters and guests support and promote the APC.
Infact, since Tinubu indicated interest to run for president, you hardly hear a conversation for 2 minutes without a mention of Asiwaju irrespective of the subject.

I can only leave Obiajulu and Yeni Kuti of 'your view' out.

The journalists' Hangout team is worse, no matter how they try to pretend that they are not partisan.

Thrash!!!


Certainly because they are not tied to Tinubu's peanut that he uses to deceive gullible Nigerians through his TVC, daily Trust and co
Just yesterday, we got informed that Daily Trust and BBC Hausa have been working so hard to discredit the candidature of the labour party up North using the killing in Imo state.
So someone asked why is the insecurity in South East prominent in APC governed states?
So truth is APC has weaponised insecurity for campaign but they have failed in the case of Peter Obi because he is neither a governor in Imo nor the president of Nigeria whose primary duties should be to protect lives and property across the state

So South West mainstream media should understand that this is not the age when they were busy playing ping pong on people's intelligence just because tv and media generally started within the region. All those crap they have been writing and rewriting about Nigerian history including the roles their people played during the Biafra war among others and justifying as well as making them innocent of evil participation are all going to be rewritten by objective and unbiased writers.

Meanwhile, Arise TV remains the best amongst the rest to be reckoned with, OP should tell us his real headache

Blame yourself for your stupidity in trying Buhari who during his military regime failed woefully, no education or viable business he successfully managed but yet you voted him shouting sai Baba with NEPA certificate. How can you even compare Buhari to Peter Obi? Are you okay at all? They are ages apart, Buhari represents anything failure while Obi represent capacity and vision. Correct the error you made in 2015 so the people Buhari government has cut short their life will not hunt you.

What you wrote here are stupid arrant nonsense and common insults which you illiterate igbos are known for. No head no tail.

What I asked you, and I am still asking is that what makes you think Obi will be different from Buhari if we vote for him in 2023?

Give me your reasonings to convince me, not your irrational insults, which is highly irritating.

Journalists Hangout is a trash show. I stopped watching the day they were talking about ipob beating ekweremadu in Germany and one of them said that kind of thing can't happen in SW. The Ozugbakun guy who is so poor you'll think he has a bone in his throat replied with a very silly argument of "in SW, we have what we call omoluabi ethos". I was totally pissed. Apart from the ethnic bashing is the fact that SW has records of beating and harrasing politicians more than any region of the country. Just recently in Osun, Omisore was heckled and called thief.
Those guys are massively unprofessional and biased. If not for the fact that they're covered, they should be shut down.

Agboriotejoye:

Tundun did not insult the comrade. Disagreeing with someone who is trying to score cheap political points with your loved ones' memory is not an insult under any guise.

Adebayo Shittu was the one who went into combat immediately the Muslim Muslim ticket question was put to him. He didn't stop shouting and flagellating and a simple comment on confidence also set him off more. It points to what I'm saying about APC sympathisers and their aggressiveness.

Ruben did not also insult the colleague. He might have embarrassed her but not insult her. Everyone also knows Ruben has arrogance but that does not remove from him being a fine journalist.

As for the Rufai issue, again, I don't know what that has to do with his job as a journalist. A traffic infraction does not come into the realm of crime. I saw some APC supporters already labelling him a convict. Funny

I guess you're the fashion police or an escort manager to know Kachi is selling her wares.

That's the hate and lies I'm talking about.

We Yorubas are guilty of mouthing off about Omoluabi ethos . A very delusional way of living in the past that infuriates other tribes as if they dont have moral codes at all. Bola Ige's cap was removed at the entrance of Ooni's palace by Omisore sponsored urchins as far back as 2001. Ladoja was manhandled by thugs at PDP zonal Congress at Akure in 2007. I guess those were Omoluwabi ethos the hypocrite was referring to.

Until the media houses in Nigeria are being own by professionals in the field, instead of politicians. Any objective questions will be interpreted as hate speech, when it doesn't favour them or they lack words the defend their complete failure. What Rufai asked the man was exact question every Nigerian is asking, even among the Senators. If even Senate asks same question, what was his offence then. Nigeria will move forward even if the so called leaders want to hide truth from common man, do not let us forget the only the truth exalt a nation.

I don't know if you watched the interview in question. She said she almost brought down the roof and gave it to him (Comrade Ayodele). I guess she didn't insult him by your presentation, but only disagreed. She apologized the next day for her conduct.

Agboriotejoye:

I already referred to it. Shittu went ballistic when Rufai asked him about Muslim Muslim ticket. I'm not aware of the cases where Rufai insulted guests. If you can cite the cases and the insult, I'll know to respond.
Tundun going off on her sister on air for looking to profit from their father's memory is actually a personal issue. I agree she shouldn't have brought it on air but I don't see how that makes her a bad journalist. If anything, it exposes her which you have just done, but again, I don't see how that has anything to do with her work.

It's funny you think only journalists have access to a governor or that Rufai has access to the governor indeed. From all available facts on the matter, he felt offended and was just bragging in a bid to cow the officers. He never called the governor and he faced the matter to a logical conclusion.

Kachi is an entertainment journalist. I'm sure if she had broken Arise dress code, she would have been called to order. If that pic you put up sets you off to "enjoyment" then I think you need a shrink cause your mind needs to be worked on. One wonders what will become of you if you watch some entertainment channels like trybe or some Ghanaian channels. Work on your mind. Where you are is not good
Have you seen Maupe's short skirts on channels? I hope you don't keep her short skirts pics on your phone to "enjoy" too.


I don't know if you watched the interview in question. She said she almost brought down the roof and gave it to him (Comrade Ayodele). I guess she didn't insult him by your presentation, but only disagreed. She apologized the next day for her conduct.

During the succession battle for the Olu of Warri, there were several interviews on Arise TV. In one of such inteviews, Rufai called a Senior Chief a liar. Abati cautioned him.

See, a one-off behaviour is fine, but a repetition shows habit. Tundun lacks self-control. When Hafsat compared her father to GYB, we all condemned it. Even if she demeaned her father, Tundun should have not attacked her sister because she demonstrated the family lacks unity. Imagine if Hafsat had responded.

I also do not think I have said anyone is a good or bad journalist, I am not one to make that judgement.

As for anyone having access to the Governor, how many can openly boast about it after an infraction? I guess Rufai's behaviour can be excused because he is the darling on a rabid online army. He did a live video a night before he apologized where he admitted to calling the Governor.

Finally, on Kachi Offiah, I believe there is a dress code for presenters. Before Arise 360, we've had Channels TV Metrofile and Bisi Olatilo show, I don't remember female presenters showing cleavages. Don't worry about my mind, I love boobs and i enjoy any boob I see.

Then for Maupe Ogun's short skirts, I haven't really noticed it, but to be honest, anything showing too much thighs irritate me. I will check next time.

Honourable mention must be given to Ms Tundun Victoria M.K.O. Abiola who has insulted two guests and her sister on air. The first guest she insulted was Comrade Ayodele, who had said something positve about her father. She insulted him off-air, and had to still inform viewers that she had insulted him. She even shouted at Dr Reuben Abati. Then she made a positive comment about Adebayo Shittu's confidence encouraging his supporters, only for that one to go off on her. Of course Tundun went into a shouting game with him, giving us indication that she couldn't take what she dished. She also fought her own sister on air for comparing their father to Yahaya Bello.

Then Reuben Abati insulted his colleague for calling him by his first name as the professional ethics demanded, he went off on Victor Oye and Governor Wike. Him and Tundun conducted a disastrous interview with Atiku Abubakar.

Then the King of Indiscipline, mediocrity and lack of emotional intelligence, buoyed by his social media praise singers and a hypocrite, Rufai Oseni. He is always looking to pick a fight if you don't answer questions to agree with his preconceived opinions. He called one guest a liar on air during the crisis of succession of the Olu of Warri, he accused A.J. Owonikoko of cherrypicking during the EndSARS post mortem, he attempted to harass General IBM Haruna who dealt him a humbling blow on air. Then he broke the law and lied to his social media warriors that Google maps told him to use the BRT lane, then he called the Policemen bleeding bastards and threatened to call the Governor on them.

Then Kachi Offiah seems to be selling her wares on air. One thing is clear: Arise News does not caution their journalists. They do as they like. As for partisanship, it is what will further contribute to the death knell of the TV station in addition to their journalists being bigger than the station.

Kudos to Adesuwa Omoruan who has demonstrated appreciable maturity in conduct, style and depth.
Nice write-up. God bless your sense of judgement.
I only disagree with Kachi wares part. I no see any Bobby.

Until a few months ago, when it started appearing in my you tube recommendations, I wasn't aware of Arise TV becos I didn't watch any Nigerian news channel.

I vaguely remembered there was Channels TV. Not seen NTA anywhere for about 15yrs. I'm just not interested.

Back to arise. I have now watched a few of their interviews - the ones hosted by Mr Abati, and 2 others.

I quickly observed that:

1. Too often, the hosts can't resist taking things too personal. If they feel slighted by a guest, they won't hesitate to respond in like manner The Abiola lady even used the platform to attack her sister. Abati launched his infamous personal attack on Wike. Very unprofessional lot.

2. The hosts lack the capacity to ask penetrating questions. Their questions are too often simplistic, tedious, and dense.

3. On nairaland, I've been hearing one Rufai this, Rufai that, so I've been curious to watch the guy...and my observation? Very average, play-to-the-gallery interviewer.

The guy on Channels, Okin Balogun or something, is far more incisive, capable, balanced and professional than anything on Arise
Channels presenters remain the best in Nigeria. Seun has his faults, but his strength lies in his ability for follow up questions. He knows how to press further than any presenter on Arise TV. Others like Chamberlain, Kayode, and Maope are not also bad. Arise TV is not totally bad though but there's great room for improvement.
