Really? Guilty as charged?

No! I think, no matter who he is, we should always give a listening ear less we harm the innocent.

FFK, as usual, has accused the Management of biasness for not seeking his version of the story. This is the very point that Journalism hangs - balanced reporting.

And we should also wait to see the Publisher's response to the report FFK has put on his table.

That guy you are explaining to doesn't like FFK at all... Facts mean nothing to him. Just crucify FFK and move along!!!

gungab:
Common Meeenh

Just apologize and move on

Yeah, he certainly needs to apologize... But, move on??! Why??!... We should pretend that the journalist didn't mess up, or that his editor didn't further indulge in falsehood??!

Golan007:
Nobody wants to know your side of the story you idiot.

Nobody??! I actually do!!! So also any neutral with a semblance of intelligence and sense of objectivity!!!

If it were someone you support or care about, those would likely not be your words.

obailala:
What sort of mentality is this? Of course if there are humans like FFK out there, there will certainly be humans like BREYZ who would see the world from Femi's eyes. FFK is a PDP chieftain, he's been on a tour of PDP states, visiting governors, visiting project sites, moving about with the press etc. The journalist simply asked, "who is bankrolling your current tour?" Is it an official PDP duty, is it just a personal tour etc. The answer to that question should have been very very very simple for anyone with a sound mind; but obviously, speaking queen's English isn't a sign of mental sanity.

For the record, there was absolutely nothing wrong, nothing degrading and nothing insulting about the question posed by the journalist; and yes, Aisha Buhari, Tinubu and just about any other politician across the length and breadth of Nigeria can be asked that same question without them foolishly loosing it like FFK. Meanwhile this isn't the first time FFK has done this to a journalist in public; his uncontrolled vulgar tongue doesnt even spare anyone. FFK is the only politician alive today who has repeatedly used the most vulgar words publicly to insult political opponents.

How exactly would you know they won't lose it, either identically like FFK or to a lesser degree??! Have they ever been put on that exact same spot??!... In all the years of this regime, how many journalists have ever asked such questions to our leaders in all the conferences held??! How well do they tackle even Mr. President during live conferences??!...

Xisnin:
Femi is not Buhari and can never be.
No one would give a damn about Buhari's conduct if he had remained in his Daura village.
But a supposedly educated writer cannot tell the difference between an elected officer
and a private citizen.

This foolish pattern of comparing elected politicians to public commentators must stop.
They are not in the same league in terms of influence and power over ordinary citizen's life.

To make matters worse, the author of this piece failed basic grammar comprehension.
"Who is bankrolling your tour?’" is a sinister question that have already concluded guilt
and just seeking for the extent.

Any smart person will understand that it is not an innocent question.
A journalist without an axe to grind would have asked a more neutral question such as:
"Is your tour being sponsored"

"Any smart person"??!... Just look at your Nairaland people extolling the biased writer, like he truly made sense!!!

Just look at the write up and the topic... Mr. Writer spent more time introducing his prejudice against the notorious FFK in a lengthy well worn 'biography', only to remember his actual topic at the end with just a hollow, scanty, and unenlightening paragraph of few words!!!

This is exactly what happens when you write without even a modicum of objectivity!!!

For those unable to grasp my unbiased disaffection... I opened this thread to actually be enlightened on exactly what would have happened or what it would be like if FFK were Mr. President and how his 'short fuse' would make him do worse than Buhari, not to read a writer's lengthy personal grouse against the political charlatan.

Of course... What won't we hear in Nigeria??! In a serious nation, you back such utterances with facts, i.e receipts and other clearly documented evidence of expenditure, but here, an official will make such fraudulent claims and not even bother clarifying, knowing fully well that a cross section of the gullible masses will actually find idiotic ways to defend them... Smh.

I understand the unenviable need of the Editor to form solidarity with his embattled staff and colleague... However, his bias and prejudice are quite obvious, just like that of his staff who went about fishing for mischief!!!

Your staff would never dare ask that question to Buhari, Osibanjo or Buratai... None of your Nigerian journalist would ever be courageous to take our current leaders to task!!! They've never done it, and will never do it!!! So, let's leave that gist!!!

You talk about supporting journalists... Where was your voice when Sowore, and others were jailed??! Play the full video, and honestly tell me how professional your staff was!!! Smh!!!

Between the person who posted this, and the one that moved it to front page, I honestly can't tell who or which is more abnormal....

Just negodu front page topic!!! Huge Snake cohabiting in a ceiling??! Snake charmer to evict the residential serpent??!... Sigh! Mr. Seun, this is what your forum has been reduced to??! Smh!!!

Miracle1991:
will you have written this trash if it was Buhari that reacted like this? I remember when pigs we're shouting freedom of speech during Mailafiya invitation to dss.

Your new rant has absolutely no correlation with my position on the glaring absence of professionalism on the part of the journalist above...

The instance of DSS's unnecessary eye service with regards to Mai whatever is beyond poor for an analogy, as there is honestly no basis for comparison.

...And yes, my reaction would have remained the same had it been Buhari, Putin, Idi Amin, Stalin, Kim Jong-Un, or even Hitler.

NgwalandAbia:
Igbos should not be donating anything to the useless Nigerian police, instead should channel it to our gallant incoming force.

What gallant incoming force??!... You ought to be too old for such delusions.

Littletosay:
I have been open minded about FFK for a long time but this method of answering is everything wrong with Nigeria right there.

This is a a democratic period in Nigeria and a seasoned democrat would have answered that question or any question for that matter with tact and intelligence. Sadly he acted like any poor simple thinking tout politician, with aggressive arrogance. No class at all!

I had always thought he was urbane but alas I was dead wrong.

I am HUGELY disappointed in him and by extension all politicians in Nigeria. If someone who claims to be cultured and urbane can be this classless and tasteless then this gives you an accurate insight into why Nigeria is messed up and will never work with the kind of people we have in politics today. All puffery and no substance or intelligence.

Forget claims and media posturing... Most Nigerian politicians are classless, tasteless, and ill-bred!!!

fergie001:
Even when the reporter was even saying Sorry Sir severally......That behaviour in relation to the question asked by the reporter does not warrant that kind of outburst.

This kind of character should be summarily condemned in it's entirety.

Well, maybe because the reporter didn't ask him on Twitter.

True sir... FFK's outburst was quite extreme, uncultured, vain, and unnecessary!!!... A better seasoned individual of proper breeding would have politely and calmly declined to answer, and corrected the erring journalist (He actually erred on the side of professionalism).

Then again, how many of our leaders and politicians are men of good and sound breeding??! Smh!!!

tesppidd:
But the question the guy asked wasn't captured in this video.

So we neither know the question he asked, nor the way he presented ìt.

So how do you know what he asked?

Abi do you have a different video to this?

Well, the Op mentioned the question clearly in his write up. Didn't you read it??!

joefelin2345:
While I agreed with you to some extent, I must say that many of our journalist are truly stupid. They are of very low IQ & I wonder how they even become journalist in the first in the first place. Y asking him such foolish question in the first place? What answer did he expect? For him to say yes or no? A very stupid journalist indeed.

A lot of them are poorly trained and lack mentoring... No class whatsoever!!!

Then again, this is the sad state of most so called professionals across all fields in Nigeria today!!! Pity!!!

jericco1:
If he has no skeleton in his cupboard, yes

If??!...

tesppidd:
Stop being silly.

Paid or not paid; FFK's response shows the typical problem of the Nigerian country where rich men feel they can violate poor men at will.

If Buhari or Amaechi threatens a journalist like that people like you wouldn't take about paid or mischief.

Bro, trust me... I don't give 2 sheets about FFk and other charlatans in Nigeria. I have taken him apart severally on different threads...

I am concerned about professionalism, especially with recourse to journalism!!!... That journalist was not professional, simple!!! Of course, FFK went overboard in his reaction and response (Not surprised)... Any other better cultured individual would have responded better, but still would not have overlooked such poor attempt at fishing.

I thought calling a spade a spade was your thing, going by your stand on the NBA vs Elrufai matter??! What changed??! Because it is FFK??!

jericco1:
You be mumu and you dey call another person mumu, no be juju be that?

Good for that stupid FFK!

Be honest, would you feel this same way if a journalist poked Mr. President like this anywhere in the world??!

Wiseandtrue:
These journalists have reduced themselves to pepper sellers

Is this an investigative journalism or what

Can they ask Tinubu such question

With all the bullion vans, how many of them have questioned Tinubu

What a shame

Don't mind them... Truly, the guy was paid for such mischief or maybe it was just a personal vendetta!!! Either way, I hope it was worth it... Smh.

Sambaby7640:
This is very wrong.... It's a democratic government and politicians are subject to give answers to questions thrown to them by the press.The Most painful part is when the reporter said sorry sir,Sorry for what?like tf?

This is really sad,the reporter must have felt embarrassed, it's a pity.

Well I'm not surprised,this is Nigeria and anything goes.

Lalasticlala, Myndd44 OAM4J this is front-page worthy abeg

Please, leave Nigeria out of your rant...

I have seen great men like Clinton, Putin, Trump, etc, take such mischievous journalists to the cleaners!!!... No one, not even politician, is subject to give answers to dumb and indelicate questions!!!

Freedom of the press should not be abused for any reason!!! There is a place and time for certain things!

Eteka1:
Ayade is bankrolling you Oga, na why the question pain you wella.

Please... Forget the truth or lie in the statement. That question or line of questioning was terribly and poorly out of place!!! That just reeks of unprofessionalism... A journalist should be better trained, especially one representing such a reputable newspaper.

Well, Mr. Journalist just lost his job!!! On the other hand, FFK has merely gained more useful publicity... This is a harsh way to learn a lesson in professionalism and proper conduct!!!

Budline1:
Was she real about the fact that they showered together and probably do other stuffs where the camera can not reach too?

There is no need to constantly shove that fact into the guy's face on a live show, making the guy look like a simp, eventho she has her own skeletons too. Men should avoid girls like Nengi.

Ozo is the one making himself look like a dumb simp... Even Prince was interested in the girl, but quickly sensed how manipulative and crafty she is, and backed out fast!!!

How can a grown male with even half a brain not know Nengi is playing him for a fool??! What do you call a guy who keeps falling all over a girl, trying so hard to please her in everything while she continues to perpetually friendzone him??!...

I personally have nothing against players (Men or Women), the game is what it is!!! However, I have everything against suckers!!! Especially men!!

abbasajao:
And your English is terrible as well.

So, you can't actually tell he wrote that on purpose??! Lol... You ought to be more perceptive!!!

Kennyswag:
Erosion land

Your point??! No state created its weather/climate or topography!!!... At the very least, they are making the best of what they have. This calls for encouragement and applause, not what you are trying to do.

Please, let's be guided!!! Such threads should not be for such childishness!!! Thank you!

Every state should have this... Any state not toeing the path of agriculture and industrialization needs to be queried, and put to work.

I knew from the headline that it would be the hype-man himself doing what he does best: Making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Don't care, don't even give a flying fvck... They can both kill each other!!! One is almost as useless as the other.

internationalman:
Ned, how can you be ugly and shapeless at the same time..

How this man arouses Regina Daniels is a wonder. I heard they use porn mostly to enhance or as a catalyst for her arousal

Oh Please... The only arousal most Nigerian girls need is the smell and sound of millions of Naira!!! Ned will always arouse more Nigerian women than the average tall, dark and handsome guy out there!!!

teacherbim:
Tolani baj said, she couldn't sleep in the HOH room because the duvet was stained with CUM and Nnegi had to do lots washing. Dickwayyya had no respect for her babe ,she,must he cum ?; thank God Kayode covered their shits.

You see Kidd and Erica matter.... Smh!!! I can understand the guy being an overfed, pampered, and spoiled son of a billionaire (Doesn't really get any worse than this), but the babe is another matter entirely!!! I can get a girl being loose, or desperate... But, being loose, desperate, and dumb at the same time??! Damn!!!

jericco1:
The could have easily rejected the DHOH role or probably sleep on the couch cos this one no necessary, people wey go fck go fck

Not exactly... Not every girl is that cheap!!! Nengi accepted cos the position gives her privileges, and importantly makes her immune to eviction!!!

She clearly doesn't really fancy the guy... She's simply leading him on, and pushing his idiot button. He is more or less a slave to her!!!

She will dump his weak ass when the time is right, cos the prize money is 100% what she cares about!!! Nengi is a manipulator and player! I like her style!!!

Skyfornia:
I'm beginning to like this girl...a lot of people thought she would be loose but she is clearly in control. I wish my future girlfriend or wife would be this faithful.

The girl has too much sense and class... That Ozo is just dull and moronic!!! Smh!!!

Sigh... It's a criminal offense to eat sandwich containing human excrement??! What part of the Nigerian constitution??!...

So, they actually nearly lynched him for that??!... I swear this nation gets more backward every time I blink.
