Media Abusers by Jimsonjaat96(m): 6:24pm On Apr 10, 2023
The traditional journalism of Newspaper,Radio and Television can never be put aside because of their uniqueness that is lacking in other New Media currently making wave in Nigeria. Though everyone want to be a journalist with their phone and data and they believe that they are capable with their neophyte mindset. Journalist are not trained in classroom alone they are under training throughout the practices not to talk about people who does not know what journalism is all about but trying to fix in violently causing dangerous injury to Journalism Profession by spreading fake news and painting Nigeria's Journalism black in the eyes of the world.

In as much as Citizens Journalism is acceptable in Journalism ,the major problem we are facing is the inability to regulate Citizens journalist because of their independence . The freedom from censorship or regulations from any Senior cadre paves way to abusing the Respected Journalism Profession. Media abuser play a vital role in spreading fake news in Nigeria because of the nature of their prejudice and the way they are emotionally attached to their thought and trying to make it superior over truth.

The media Abuser Spread two dangerous fake news this week alone which the perpetrator ought to be punished for but because the fake news favour the Government in Power, NBC did not take any action, the same body that takes delight in censoring and slamming media house that disseminate truth with fine. Adamawa Gubernatorial election collation has not been concluded when the Media Abuser had spread fake news that APC Gubernatorial candidate won,She won in their Imagination and they spread it to the detriment of the heterogeneous audience . Now the credibility of Independent Electoral Commission is under doubt because the unsuspecting Audience believed that the woman was rigged out contrary to the Truth that the winner was never announced by INEC .

Another fake news was passed by Media Abuser yesterday, when the judgement was still on ,the media abuser went to social media to make a prejudice which clearly show a contempt to honorable court of justice which is punishable under the law but their prediction favors APC the ruling party. They had give the victory to Oyetola while Adeleke clearly won according to the judges .

The availability of the media should not be an avenue to spread unverified News and confusing the public. The Citizens Journalist should be careful the way they are confusing their heterogeneous audience that believe in their information.

Media abuser are dangerous to the survival of Journalism in Nigeria because of the immunity they are enjoying. Though Journalist know something about everything and everything about something but they never trespassed to do what they are not capable to do when Journalism is being abuse by every tom and harry. An Engineer will be doing Journalism roughly and dangerously while Journalist who does not have experience in Engineering will never try such.. Media abuser need to be tamed before they set the Nation on unnecessary crisis .

Media abuser are now INEC ,Judge ,Presidency ,Governor and they speaks what Constituted Authorities never said to confuse the public and gain followers. Media Should be regulated and perpetrator be brought to book or else the Nation will wake up and finds herself in War created by Media abuser.
