eyinjuege: And he has doubly failed again after going to social media. Now what? The daughter not only knows him as a deadbeat, but now also despises him for embarrasing her publicly. Her mother didn't tell her this, she saw it with her own eyes and is the direct victim of his manipulations this time around. From the tone of this interview, I doubt she will ever want to have anything to do with him again. Perhaps if her father that raised her wades into the matter, she might consider. The sperm donor needs to go and grovel before the man she calls father, if he truly wants a relationship with his daughter. She will only probably agree because she has utmost respect for Mr Alabi, the man whom she proudly bears his name.
maybe that's the only way the man knows to get across to her.
So the girl doesn't have every right to choose who her father is? A graduate and an adult? It's either you're a child and if you are an adult you're really a dumb adult
No one is robbing her of her right to choose a father. But biology isn't subject to emotions!!! No matter what happend, blood na blood. She will understand herself better if she knew her real biological father.
She should first of all determine if the man is her BIOLOGICAL father first or if the man is lying or clout-chasing. No matter the social media blitz, a part of her will never connect until she's certain she isn't thar man's seed. Going on air with careless abandon without knowing the facts isn't smart.
Substandard humans like you are either a product of broken homes or just victim of leftist propaganda.
You're just nature's purge, a very dumb one.
And you will pretend you're smart when your existence is still inferior to cow grass .
jawalis: Bonding of love between polygamous is nothing but only delusion & seductive-shots called sexuality breeds cynicism, despising, criticism and condemnation; each always looks other through the negative lens and creates separation and hatred. Conversely bonding of love between monogamous is everything full of integrity, purity and heartfelt mingling like diluting of hard clout of soil with pristine rain breeds serenity, bliss and lure like magnetism each always looks other through positive lens and creates union and frequently electrify each other to share and care each other feelings of life for the sole purpose of a shared vision; a road-map of life between two bodies into one soul creating success in life through enacting commitment and trust each on other for a win-win situation is called soul-mate-ship. Therefore, each man and woman should choose a path of monogamous making life enjoyable and praiseworthy at the shake of adultery. I earnestly urge of the mankind to believe in one-love making life fullest.
Vaughanlanrewaj: I stated here before that heads will roll at CNN.
That was a horrible report. Nigeria will sue them if they don't apologise and do more than this infantile recant.
Perhaps they still think it is joke.
How on earth can you state that 36 people were shot dead by soldiers without being at the scene and in the face of very credible question still hanging in the air "if soldiers killed even 1 person with their bullets,let alone 36 or 78 according to alleged lie by Switch, did soldiers kill all their friends,families,colleagues,neighbours, pastors/imams,boyfriends,girlfriends etc too?
All the revenue CNN generated on those days from the online traffic and on TV viewership while beaming that fake news must be demanded as damages and used to take care of victims of police brutality, victims of the carnage and those their fake news further destroyed. The request for the damages must co-copy HE Donald Trump, the Republic Party and CBS.
Amnesty international must receive their own letter too while Lagos State Government must investigate the audio of IPOB leader instructing and commanding his IPOB members to burn down Lagos and establish the nexus between the audio and the coordinated arson in Lagos. If found culpable, he should be reported to ICC and Interpol and other international bodies and prosecuted in absentia if he does not turn himself in.
If HE Sanwo Olu does not investigate this IPOB leader audio telling people to burn down Lagos, Lagosians, indigenes and Association of Lagos indigenes like the Lagos State Council of Obas and others should sue the government for not doing its job and compel the government to investigate the whole audio and movement of youths from the South East to join the protest in Lagos when same protest was going on in the South East!
This injustice against Lagos and Lagosians will not be permitted.
It is completely despicable that someone will tell people to go burn down Lagos and still not be charged by now. It is enabling him to commit more crime or someone else to wake up someday and instruct people to go burn down Abuja or Onitsha or Kaduna or PH or Benin and those places get burnt and we carry on as if we can't enforce our own laws. #Justice for Lagos and victims of the carnage in Lagos
I think they were reckless and their shoddy coverage will eventually make heads roll in CNN. Heads will roll just like the last time they paid some people to act like MEND until they got busted.
They were absolutely reckless especially after HE Trump called them fake news media for 4 years.
This damning verdict by this independent body of journalists is just the beginning. They were not even at the scene yet ignored the report of those credible media houses present at the scene.
Yet they are grandstanding.
CNN used some of the fake creatives that IPOB leader and his followers used to distract while they allegedly carry out the instruction of their leader to cowardly burn down Lagos.
jaelz: So I decided to ask this question here because I have a lady that is overly demanding, I mean I tried pegging my monthly spending for her at 30,000 Naira per month including her hair, light, data and cable TV subscription plus one or two outings and hangouts.
But I noticed she never seems satisfied with my little efforts as she demands unimaginable things from me like buying her iPhone 12 and etc.
Guys pls how do you control spending on your women and how much do you spend on them monthly.
you're an idiot, a lowlife , nope a no-life so is the mod who pushed this crap and worthless shiiit to front page.
If you need to spend on your girlfriend then you're not even worth your mother's vagina secretion that watered your conception.
MrBrownJay1: yet when that same woman will "love" as many men as she desires, your deluded self will now come and tell us nonsense story that touches the heart. do you even know what love is, to yab rubbish here?
be quiet child!
where you fucjed up was in the comparison between men and women. Women are biologically built separate from men.
envoymedia: Toke Makinwa has blasted Reno Omokri for his post shading 'slay queens and divorced women', IgbereTV reports.
On Monday, November 23, Reno shared a post on his Twitter handle where he threw jabs at ''divorced women '' and ''slay queens'' by using throwback photos of former first lady, late Mrs Maryam Babangida.
Change where you live. You don't see gambling shops in rich neighborhood, do you?
Ive heard them advertise gambling In Lagos,in billboards talking about my name is efe but people dey call me fail fail but as I begin join 1x bet I win so tey I tire. Now them dey call me elfrebo.
Other regions in Nigeria do not allow gambling ads on radio or billboards.
Yamiriflathead: The headline is misleading.. He said suspect, not boko Haram suspect
In criminal law, you treat everyone as a suspect until they are proven guiltless
it read: "all persons should be treated as suspects...."
And in law everyone is presumed innocent until otherwise proven guilty. It's better not to type than type something that questions your sanity and cognitive integrity.
debbiebianca2: The beautiful moment a Unilag student couldn't control her joy, as she was so excited while crying uncontrollably during a live video with singer Justin Bieber.
The girl who is studying Political Science from University of Lagos, could not control her happiness. She don't even know how to compose herself or act because she was talking with Justin Bieber.
wasted birth. This kind girls can never be relied on to use their head in any thing in life. And the worthless blogger must be another female who should be confined to just reproduction.
yanabasee: SWAT will likely do worse that people will begin to beg for SARS to return.
To me, police should be scrap out. They sell infos to criminals and they work to remit money to their boss in other to remain relevant in the force.
I'd prefer we have the military run things than the police....With the military, there'll be sanity and sameness across the country...
But with the police, everyone is a potential criminal before their eyes.
the military is worse than police. If there's any thing like zombiism and lack of common sense, then they are exemplified in the military.
People make the mistake that military is better than police. It's only because the military don't engage with civilians more but they are way stupider, dumber than the police.
And lastly, there's a serious personality defect present in every Nigerian who joins uniform work to bear arms: low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence and other ego problems.
It's the reason they act brashly and always above the law.
IDanfulani: Who is CNN running dirty errands in Nigeria for ?
By Thomas Uzah
The Cable Network News (CNN) is still existing in the past in today’s globalized satellite and digital Television world. Some 20 years back, CNN monopolized the awful digital news dissemination and it was the cynosure of every eye anywhere in the world, its signals perched.
An unfazed and comfortable, CNN fed the world with fake news, recycling same news items hourly up to 24 hours or beyond, but still flagging its screens, suspiciously as “CNN Live” broadcast of the news. Its gingered eagerness in listeners and viewers, who profusely eulogized the medium of reeling out news events on-the-spot.
Then, the world was at its dawn of digital broadcasting technology and CNN capitalized on it to spread its corporate falsehood to the world excited with odd news. But the world has transcended such insularity in digital broadcasting and the media generally.
There are too many competitors in the digital broadcasting industry today. I can conveniently guess; CNN now pleads to catch up the pace in the digital broadcasting industry and reportage globally.
In America, its place of domiciliary, I am told President Donald Trump hates CNN with a passion, including their reporters or correspondents covering the White House. Most times, Mr. President goes naught in near fisticuffs with its reporters for their mastery of churning out fake news.
President Trump is fatally a blunt person who does not conceal his feelings on anything he opposes. It doesn’t mean, I cherish the personage in Trump. He has his foibles as a leader. But at least, lets concede his brutal frankness on CNN as commercialized vendors of global fake news. They are like Nigeria’s Glo, one of the telecoms which has an attractive product advertising slogan, “Pay As You Go!” It’s fantastic, but that’s okay!
CNN’s dubious reportage and barefaced abuse of professional ethics in the past has caused tragic outcomes to the world. It has also diminished public believability in its news contents. Whilst there is a plethora of examples, let me dwell on the invasion of Iraq by American and allied forces in 2003, which CNN provided resourcefully concocted news on fictious existence of weapons of mass destruction that almost pushed the world into an unexpected third World War.
A report on CNN’s website dated September 4, 2002, showcased a lethal deceit of the then American President George W. Bush that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein secretly stockpiled chemical and biological weapons, he plans to use in the event the U.S unleashes a surprise military attack on the country.
Quoting various sources, the CNN campaigned that “Iraq has tons of chemical weapons." The presumptive report triggered U.S pre-emptive military strike on Iraq in March 2003 with allied forces. The intent was to destroy the concealed weapons of Mass Destruction by Iraqi’s Saddam Hussein to terminate his brutal and dictatorial leadership.
Nicely sad, after America’s destruction of Iraq and ruination of the obnoxious regime of Saddam Hussein, CNN’s claims turned out to be a ruse, much after the deed had been regretfully committed. It was the height of media treachery and abuse of professional public obligation as exhibited by CNN
The America’s Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) would later publish an official report which read in part; “The Bush administration concedes its pre-war arguments about extensive stockpiles of chemical, biological, and even nuclear weaponry in Saddam Hussein's Iraq appear to have been mistaken. In January 2004, David Kay, the former top U.S. weapons inspector, tells Congress: ‘We were almost wrong.”
History has a way of repeating itself. The CNN has officially shifted the battleground to Nigeria’s Lekki Toll Gate incident. In my estimation, the foreign cable network has replaced a weakened Amnesty International’s (AI) on promotion of odious lies and fabricated stories on Nigeria.
Therefore, on November 17, 2020, the CNN screamed that "...Soldiers killed youths in Lekki..., " in reference to the #EndSARS alleged shooting of defenceless protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate by soldiers of the Nigerian Army. Had CNN any trace of reputation or credibility, one would have been tempted to endorse what they have branded as “investigative report.”
CNN correspondents were nowhere near the scene of the incident at Lekki on October 20, 2020. Fortunately, BBC’s Lagos correspondent Damilola Banjo and her editor witnessed the encounter of the #EndSARS protester with soldiers at the Lekki Toll Gate live. And a previous verdict delivered by the BBC reporters have plainly contradicted and obliterated whatever lies, CNN, the obviously contracted news merchants have repackaged and peddled to the world.
BBC’s Lagos correspondent, Banjo, who covered the protests at that point, narrated the contentious aspect of the encounter between the protesters and soldiers in these words; “The sight of the Army got the protesters angry and agitated…I was there with my editor and we saw the Army open fire; of course, not on the protesters, but in the air.”
So, the rejigged CNN’s report on the Lekki Toll Gate shootings is weakened by its own facts. It is infused with a heavy dosage of local partisan contents, from same narrators who previously screamed, but could not advance any modicum of evidence. CNN claimed soldiers massacred people at Lekki, but the report, only identified one Victor Sunday Ibanga, 24, Wisdom Okon, 18, and probably, a third very vague person, in spite of the enormous energy invested in it, with a deluge of correspondents.
At different points in CNN’s narrations, it is difficult to ascertain whether the allegations of shooting and killings at Lekki were done by soldiers or the police. And despite the evident violence, killings, destructions and reports of rape of women by the protesters, CNN’s imaginations betrayed its evil motive;
“There were peaceful marches, candlelight vigils, multi-faith prayer sessions and DJ performances that attracted backing and solidarity from celebrities, the Nigerian diaspora and supporters around the world. The movement quickly widened beyond police brutality to other grievances -- capturing the frustrations of a young population demanding an end to bad governance in the oil-rich country.”
And I sensed the desperation of CNN and their paymasters to implicate the Army at all cost. The cable network, claimed an eyewitness, named Sarah, whose second name they withheld, informed CNN that “They pointed their guns at us and they started shooting…They were shooting in the air, they were shooting at us, they were shooting everywhere." Who else did the random shootings kill? Which account of the narrations is now authentic and believable?
CNN also propagated that “In several of the videos, reviewed and verified by CNN, some of the protesters can be seen carrying bodies… It is not known whether these were dead or injured protesters.” So, the dead bodied conveyed by the protesters too cannot be located in any mortuary or the protesters dumped them in the Lagoon?
Is that what CNN wants the whole world to believe? I am wondering what motivations could push a foreign news medium to deliberately contradict itself in such barbaric manner. CNN has reduced itself into an odious errand boy for whose interest in Nigeria?
Nigerians should patiently wait for truth on this too! CNN has sold its integrity and conscience decades back. It is now incontrovertible that the true motive of this medium is to trigger the kind of war its false report generated in Iraq and has continued to inflict pains on Iraqis till date. I am convinced, it is about western influence on Nigeria through foreign agents of destabilization. It is CNN’s revival of its historic missteps in Iraq, which is re-dramatized in Nigeria’s Lekki Toll Gate shootings.
Nigerians must be wise! CNN is suspiciously running destructive errands with the intention of assisting those who intends to destroy Nigeria by spinning falsehood to discredit the Military and the Federal Government. The plot is to cause large scale crises to destabilize the country. By my reckoning, CNN’s likely clients to benefit from the planned mess of Nigeria would probably be, the arms sellers, crisis-entrepreneurs and terrorists sponsors. But we shall defeat them.
Uzah PhD is head of mass communication department, Kwararafa University Wukari.
The question would have been more probable if Nigeria is of any worth internationally. Nigeria doesn't count or matter and doesn't even worth the coverage.
The news is even bigger than the country itself. And if not for the abuse of human rights, CNN won't bother.
peacekante: These are the video report of both reputable international TV stations on the lekki shooting incident. The incident has generated quite a lot of controversies around the world. While the Nigerian Government has vehemently denied shooting at the lekki protesters. The Army on the other hand earlier denied going to lekki to shoot, but later admitted that it was at the lekki tool gate but didn't shoot live bullet. They also claimed they shot at the air not at protesters. But the protesters are insisting that they were shot at and many were killed. The major protester at the ground DJ switch told CNN that the soldiers shot at them and killed lots of people.
Both CNN and BBC have given their own report on what happened at the lekki toll gate. While BBC reporter Damilola Banjo who was at the protest ground reported that the Army was shooting on air, but only saw one man grasping for air which she was not because of gun bullet, the CNN video said the Army actually shot at the protesters with live bullet. Though the CNN was not present at the protest ground.
So Nairalanders, watch the video report from both CNN and BBC. who is actually giving the real account of what happened at Lekki toll gate on the 20 of October 2020
