Jesutega Onokpasa: What Has Obaigbena Done To Thisday/Arise TV? by emkz: 11:03pm On Dec 13, 2022
An APC member submitted an oped which appeared on PM News this evening in the current conflict between ThisDay/Arise News and the duo of Bayo Onanuga and Dele Alake.

On ThisDay/Arise News:

Having most woefully failed to blackmail and intimidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu into dancing to its tune and attending its usually rowdy and rambunctious events, Arise Tv, alongside its sister outfit, Thisday Newspaper, has been resorting to all manner of the most shamefully unprofessional shenanigans to get back at Tinubu including the deployment of the most atrociously fake news items, as well as, rumours and barefaced lies against his candidacy.

If it is not Arise presenting a forged Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, circular as breaking news, it would be Thisday accusing Tinubu of the murder of someone still fully alive!

But the pathological hustler in the owner of these two fast decomposing news organizations, Nduka Obaigbena, will not relent for a hustler is immune to shame.

The latest caper he is trying his luck with is to have his minions spread the rumour that the Tinubu/Shettima campaign has asked him to sack his errand boy and pathetic excuse for a journalist, Rufai Oseni.

And some people actually believe this nonsense!


Even Oby Ezekwesili, a woman arguably most remarkable for leaping before she looks, has gone to town in sackcloth, weeping and wailing that Mr Oseni should not be fired for "doing his job"!

On Rufai Oseni:

It is the very worst species of junk journalism where the newsroom is putrified into a cesspit of fabrication with its practitioners hopeful that something will stick to the detriment of the target in assistance of the inglorious agenda in play.

That is what the incurable hustler in Nduka Obaigbena has done to his two media outfits.

Dele Alake and Bayo Onanuga asked for Rufai Oseni, of all people, to be sacked?

Who the hell is some total urchin like Rufai Oseni before the likes of Onanuga or Alake that they would demand his sack, and from Arise Tv, of all places, a medium that has so completely flown off the handle that the seasoned and authentic professionals they are thoroughly despise it?

On his part, Mr Oseni, ever the typical fake Lagos boy of a pathetic "alarm poser" with absolutely nothing of substance within, and thus constrained unto affectations of nonexistent ability, is beside himself lapping up the attention this entirely contrived and patently false "persecution" has brought his way.


While Rufai Oseni was rather animatedly, though quite pitiably, trying to link Bola Tinubu with drug running, Reuben Abati would sit there pretending he is not a lawyer who ought to know when a person has been indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced or not, even if his halfbaked graduate of a colleague might not know the difference!

On Reuben Abati:

When it is the turn of Abati to pretend he does not know, both as journalist and lawyer, that Tinubu has, and, never had any case to answer, not only in America but absolutely nowhere else in the entire world (unlike their boss, Obaigbena), it is then Rufai’s turn to sit quietly, looking rather vacant and listless, as usual, pretending not to know that Dr. Abati, sitting right next to him, once happily ran for office as running mate to a confirmed drug dealer who strenuously fought extradition to the United States even up till the very day he died!

Back to ThisDay/Arise employees:

Thisday/Arise has most miserably gone rogue and is behaving like a thug rather than a proper news organisation.

I actually sympathize with the real journalists who work for both outfits, many of whom are true professionals at the top of their game.

It is truly unfortunate that they have ended up with a well-known and very cheap hustler for an employer, browbeating them into truly shameful conduct, while foisting quacks and hacks like Rufai Oseni on them as colleagues they must then have to work with.

Nduka Obaigbena may be a very visible media entrepreneur who loves to hug the limelight, rather much in a psychologically significant manner, but when it comes to actual journalistic track record, he fully knows he is nowhere even remotely close to the likes of Bayo Onanuga or Dele Alake.

What has happened with his ongoing spat with the Tinubu/Shettima campaign is not the case of a good man gone bad; it is the case of a very bad man showing his true colours, except that this time around, and quite unfortunately for him, he has messed with the wrong people.

On Obaigbena's alleged issue with Bola Tinubu:

It is increasingly becoming clear to actually thinking people (as opposed to the thoughtless and rabid devourers of rumours, innuendos and fake news, out there) that Obaigbena is simply uncontrollably miffed that Tinubu has not succumbed to his usually successful brand of blackmail, wherefore, powered by his selfentitled approach to life, he is determined to continue with the operation hoping that Tinubu would crack and play ball at some point.

This is the classical methodology of "Yahoo Boys" and other categories of fraudsters and similar crooks, by the way, except that for the "guyman" Obaigbena is supposed to be, he clearly picked out the wrong mark this time around!

What both Obaigbena and co have not realised is that their recent shenanigans against Bola Tinubu and the Tinubu/Shettima campaign is only steadily distancing them from real journalism while setting them apart from the rest of the mainstream media in a manner that should eventually and most probably irretrievably relegate them to patently yellow status.

While I very much doubt that I would spare a tear for Obaigbena, himself, it would be a most calamitous and enduring tragedy for the real journalists he has enticed and corrupted and intimidated into blatant unprofessionalism even long after they’ve come to their senses and abandoned the rags he owns but presents to the world as proper media houses.

One idiot from Thîefnubu's media outlet named the Nation said nasty things about Peter Obi with the tag, OBITUARY.

The very man ended up crying on the internet when his picture was properly decorated with the same obituary funfare grin

The marvelous obituary replies he received with his picture therein sent shivers down the spines of every Thîefnubu media dog, to learn never to mess with the wrong group.

In their usual rhetoric, they started accusing others (the Obidients) of the very same crime they had committed when it became obvious they couldn't win the media war.

In the case of AriseTv and Thisday newspaper, Thîefnubu media dogs found a soft target in Rufai Useni and Nduka Obaigbena. It's a pity the duo aren't doing much to wade off these attacks from paid media hacks under Thîefnubu.

I reserve my comment until after the 2023 election.
Only then will I know the number of sane people we have in this country

By then, I will say what I want to say but for now, I’ll only advice you vote competency over tribe, ethnicity or religion.

Don’t vote for someone you can’t question who is likely too big to answer you

Don’t vote for someone who is forming too big to mention a name or who will delegate important questions to dumb heads like himself

Don’t vote for someone who will put the administration of the country on autopilot because of frequent medical trips.

Peace & Out #PO

Watch AriseNEWS with Tundun Abiola, and you will know the difference between real journalists and those pretending to be. Naija Media is the greatest threat to our democracy. They report and debunk their news. How can you carry a fake INEC report during an election cycle? In the USA, those journalists will be off the air because they are trying to influence the election with falsehood During the train abduction, they seem to be on the side of the terrorists banging about the number of days...once released, they began to question whether money was paid or not...journalists investigate not peddle conspiracies or innuendos. Like this article, I have realized that a country where millions follow BBNaija can hardly do critical analysis and research. May God save our media and the Fed Republic of Nigeria.

On the other hand, watch Kayode Okikiolu of Channels TV... He will cite where you are contradicting yourself... point sharp rebuttals without insults and jumping off the chair or telling someone to compare credentials. Journalists shouldn't be in the news but in their reporting...best journalists are known among their peers, and most people remember the content, not who wrote them AriseNews hired bloggers...with degree in theatre and animal husbandry. No wonder Ms. Tundun Abiola seems to have left the shitshow.

Because PM NEWS IS OWNED BY BAYO ONANUGA, a spokesperson for the urinating machine. THAT'S WHY!

Thiefnubuu controls the media, he controls what you see here daily (including Nairaland). Nigerians have to do their best to resist this man. You can imagine, even Buhari, as wicked as he is, he's also working against Tinubu's emergence because be knows that old devil better than us. Nigerians, SHINE YOUR EYES O!!!!

If I tell you not to vote someone that has NO intellectual Capacity and not proactive and has no Posterity at heart as the next president and you feel I am referring to your candidate, then you are right. That means you know your candidate is not good enough for the nation but you still want to vote for him, That's on you, not me. But if I tell you to vote someone credible, with intellectual Capacity and proactive and has Posterity at heart and fit to rule and you feel I am referring to a particular candidate, that means you know who is right for the nation and if you do not vote that which your mind always goes to when someone says the best candidate for the nation, that means you also are your own enemy.
On Obi we stand.

It's time for Nduka Obiagbena to draw the line and stop the madness happening in ThisDay and Arise News.
I have read both sides in this conflict and I think it's better both parties sheath their swords.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made it clear he will not go for an interview in any of Nduka Obiagbena media congomerate,let him accept this fact and move on.
Nduka Obiagbena must understand there's no law that states it's only his media organization that must interview Asiwaju.
I watch with amazement yesterday when the revered Reuben Abati,and Rufai Oseni brought Elder Bode George to defend them on their childish publication against Bayo Onanuga and the erudite Dele Alake.
Nduka Obiagbena should be very very careful,he's picking a fight against a ruthless opposition who enjoys fighting Dirty,all his dirty secret will be thoroughly exposed, they have already released part 1 yesterday in their response to ThisDay and Arise editorial publication.
Let all parties sheathe their swords and not distract this electioneering process going on.
God bless Asiwaju
God bless Nigeria
