Now he is deviating, you were trying to fault his government, now you are trying to say he can't do such again.


Good friend

sweettease:

Thank you.

Look at this one feasting on another's work because it's favourable... The thing that faults that review is even with that, even with that, he seems to be the one that has led the least corrupt government. A dollar was 2 naira and he even tried kidnapping a corrupt individual that fled Nigeria so he can come pay for his crimes. I don't have to do your homework for you.

Insurmountable economic problems plagued the Buhari regime as petroleum prices collapsed in the face of expanding foreign debt. Buhari instituted austerity measures that caused severe hardship to the average Nigerian. In addition, political corruption continued unabated, with politicians escaping to Western countries with millions of dollars in government money. In an effort to stop dissension, Buhari instituted restrictions on the press, political freedoms, and trade unionists. By August 1985 even the military had had enough, and Ibrahim Babangida took control of the government. Buhari was detained in Benin City but was released at the end of 1988.

It was a crime as at then by decree 4 for journalists/print to publish misleading story about the government.
On July 4, 1984, the Guardian Newspaper and two of its journalists Tunde Thompson, then Senior Diplomatic Correspondent and Nduka Irabor, who was Assistant News Editor, became the first victims of this very obnoxious decree.
The two journalists were eventually jailed for one year without an option of fine! Guardian Newspapers was fined Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000.00). They had published in The Guardian of April 1 & 8, 1984 stories with the headlines “Eight Military Chiefs Tipped as Ambassadors” and “Haruna to Replace Hannaniya”(Which was misleading as at then).

The scenario of publishing false info against me(I was referring to myself). And yes, the constitution protects me against libel and slander. Likewise the government too is protected. Publishing false news is different from name calling. Calling Jonathan clueless does not translate to false information, however, saying Jonathan did something without any proof could fetch you arrest and a time with the judge. Know the law, and stop being ignorant.

Finally, ethical reporting is the soul of journalism.

sweettease:

Its called research! In case you didn't do that, I'd advise you to make an effort.


Btw, don't you dare go there, how do you know when my parents met? Another baseless argument from a GEJ fan that wreaks of ignorance!

barcanista:
was the jailing just or unjust?why would they report falsely? In a regulated profession their professional association will sanction them with suspension. There was even an existing law, why should they break it? Publish a false report against me, I can sue you for maligning my image/reputation, you will pay billions or millions or be thrown to jail. Again, publish article with conscience and ethically

sweettease:

So you are willing to give up the chance of a better less corrupt Nigeria for the fear of loosing romance section?
Smh

barcanista:
it is against the ethics of journalism to poblish falsehood

sweettease:

*Eyes rolling* what's your point?

sweettease:
Smh... I used to be a fan of GEJ until I realised most of the arguments that are supposed to work for him and against his opponents are baseless, shallow and holds no weight.

barcanista:
Useless propaganda! Decree 4 was about journalists publishing false news against the government or any official. We all know how irresponsible our journalists are. In fact, only 2 journalists were jailed for false publication to deceive the public, Irabor and thompson of Guardian newspaper. If you can't publish correct news, you have no business publishing! Whether Social Media or mainstream media, we are to publish to our conscience!
