Stakeholders in the Security sector as well as established frontline industries have hailed the National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP) as one of the best media groups when it comes to publishing verified News, stressing that the Association is not in the business of fake news or misinformation. 

The stakeholders from various security arms and other industries including media, hospitality and finance, gave their recommendations while speaking separately at the second edition of the Association's Workshop for Media Practitioners with the theme, Role of Media in Curbing Fake News, Cyber Threat and Other Sundry Security Threats: Destroying Menace Before It Destroys Us, held at the LCCI Expo and Conference Centre.

In his lecture, subtitled The Impact of Fake News on Media Credibility, at the event, veteran journalist and Founder, JounrnalismNG, Mr. Oba Adeoye, noted that having followed the group, he can attest that it is a no no when it comes to publishing unverified information, stressing the group is founded on professionalism and dedication to duty.

"While we cannot say that media houses are impeccable when the issue of fake news is raised, but I can say that NAOSNP has maintained a level of genuineness that seems to set her apart from the rest, and for periodically hosting meetings of this nature is a testament to the fact that they abhors false information," Adeoye.

On his part, the keynote speaker, and Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who was represented by the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, "noted that members of NAOSNP are not among those that give us trouble with fake and unverified stories, and that explains the reason we have a wonderful working relationship with them, and maintain high level of synergy in the onerous task of protecting lives and property."

Also lending their voices to the trust reposed on NAOSNP as a purveyor of genuine narratives, the duo of the Media Consultant, FrieslandCampina WAMCO, Dr. Kunle Hamilton and Unity Bank’s Head of Communications and Brand Management,  Mr. Matthew Obiazikwor, reiterated that it has become imperatively necessary to applaud the association for living above board in the quest to dish out the facts to the public.

Speaking separately during the panel session, Hamilton and Obiazikwor insisted that their close encounters with some members of the Association has proved that they can very relied upon. 

"While most people have thrived in trying to bring down banks, NAOSNP has maintained neutrality in reporting matters in the financial institution, especially our bank, Unity," Obiazikwor informed.

The Public Education Officer of the Lagos Sector of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Superintendent Route Commander Olabisi Sonusi, in her speech, said that she always get calls from the association to verified any stories concerning the Corps, and that makes it easier for her job.

"I applaud this group. They don't publish until they have called to verify, and that helps to curb fake narratives," she said.

Also, the Deputy Commander Narcotics of the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Mrs. Titilayo Ogunluyi, was not left  out the eulogy that greeted NAOSNP's professionalism in news broadcast, and it's penchant for the fact.

NAOSNP is an association of online news publishers with special bias to security, national interest and need to foster unity among the citizens of Nigeria. The group is led by Mr. Samson Oki as National President with Theresa Moses as the General Secretary, Mr. Eric Elezuo as the Public Relations Officer and Mr. Bakenne Kazeem as the Treasurer.

The association has been in existence for four years, holding three very successful National Conferences, two media workshops, a road walk against societal menace among many other activities. It has reported activities and partnered security agencies including the Military, Police, DSS, Customs, NDLEA, FRSC, Immigration, LASTMA, TRACE, Neighborhood Watch, Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), DSVA, all the banks including FirstBank, Unity Bank, Zenith Bank, Access Bank, Union Bank, Fidelity Bank, Ecobank and a host of others. 

Other industries that have identified with the NAOSNP brand are FrieslandCampina Wamco, Dangote Group, Globacom, NCC, Zenith Sports, Sona Group, Nestle Nigeria, CWay, Haggai Sports and many other.

Intercession 1: FATHER, we decree null and void every operation of principalities and powers against the continuous growth of this church.
Isa 8:9-10: [9] Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. [10] Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

Intercession 2: FATHER, cause Your acts in this church to be noised abroad as in the day of Pentecost, thereby drafting abiding multitudes into this church.
Acts 2:6/41: [6] Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. [41] Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Intercession 3: FATHER, we decree the release of your life-transforming Word in all our services, that will continue to gather and retain multitudes in this church.
2 Cor. 3:18: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Intercession 4: FATHER in the name of Jesus, give all our new converts and new members in this church a testimony of once I was blind, now I can see, thereby establishing them in this church for life.
Jhn. 9:25: He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

Intercession 5: FATHER, make this Midst of the Year, a season of supernatural advancement for all Winners as we remain strong in serving the Lord.
Hag. 2:4: Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts

PERSONAL SUPPLICATION:

IF YOU ARE RELOCATING…!

PLEASE, I AM NOT TALKING TO EVERYBODY BUT TO THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND SPIRITUAL BACKSLIDING MEANS…!

If you are Relocating to Europe or America:
Make Sure your Fire is Burning very Well on Your Altar.
Lest the Fire dies off in no time and you become a Carcass of your Spiritual Self.
Make Sure your Spirit is well connected to the Power of the Holy Ghost.
Lest you no Longer find reasons to follow Him whom you have vowed to follow all the days of your Life.

I have seen Men and Women who relocated to Europe and America, who are still burning with the fire of the Holy Ghost,
Setting unrighteous and ungodly trashes and and garbages around them on Fire.
Influencing multitudes and building Godliness.
THEY RELOCATED WITH THE FIRE OF GOD BURNING ON RHEIR ALTAR AND WHILE THERE,
They had kept the Fire Burning fiercely.
Their Relocation is Heaven’s Gains!

But I have seen people who were fervent and focused in Nigeria, but few Weeks after Relocating, became dis-focused and distracted and unpowered.
THE FIRE THEY CARRIED IN THEIR RELOCATION WAS TOO SMALL TO WITHSTAND THE RAGING FLAMES OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS AND UNGODLINESS RAVAGING THE LAND OF EUROPE AND WESTERN WORLD NOW.

We know Africa is viciously Corrupt and it is Cancerous!
We know many African political leaders are heartless and mercilessly corrupt and have impoverished the helpless Masses!
Yes, we know. And we are still sanely crying for a change.

BUT THIS CAN STILL NOT STAND BY THE RAVAGING SENSELESS IMMORALITY AND UNGODLY SOCIETAL MADNESS OF MANY WESTERN WORLD.
Of recent, I saw a video online,
Where multitudes of Males and Females trooped on the streets of a City….IN COMPLETE NUDE,…riding bicycles, motorcycles and walking on feet in excitement as they March in pure daylight in absolute Nudity…No Clothes.
The BREAKING NEWS of the first ever SEX SPORT just broke out.
Sweden is holding International Sex Competition and many countries applied to take part in the Sport.
It is in the Western World that the text books of Children are been rewritten to teach them another meaning of Family: they say in the Children school books that family could be: Man and Man, Woman and Woman; Man + Man+ Adopted child
Go to the YouTube and you will find the first ever AI Artificial Womb where Artificial Generated Babies are invented and developed. And the Artificial Womb Lab is being ready to produce 30,000 babies per year, probably for Sales.

I was in a US International Airport and I saw that the Toilets have been classified into Three now: Male Toilet, Female Toilet and All Genders- which is meant for those who are neither Male nor Female, the men who are becoming women and the Women who are transforming to Men.

If a man enters a female toilet, he can say he is a lady under transformation. And you can not do anything about it….

Where a 10 year old Child is calling Police to arrest his parents for discipline or correcting him…

Where some teachers are teaching the children how to use condoms and the benefit of choosing who you want to be…either male or female….and your parents must not interfere in your choice.

Where a child at 18 is free to depart from your house and be living alone and you would have no right to interfere in her life again unless she choose to stay with the parents, and the parents must be careful hold they talk to her or control her if they don’t want to lose her to the society.
Many More things to say but time will fail me….
IF YOU ARE RELOCATING,
To Europe, America or the Western World in general.
MAKE SURE YOUR FIRE IS BURNING VIOLENTLY ON THE ALTAR OF YOUR SOUL,
Lest the Raging Corrupt and Immoral Fire of the Society quench your own Fire and substitute it with their own Raging Immoral fire.

“A journalist asks Cristiano Ronaldo:

"Why does your mother still live with you?

"Why don't you build her a house?"

Cristiano Ronaldo replies :

"My mother raised me and she dedicated her life for me. She would go to sleep hungry, just to let me eat. We had no money at all. She worked 7 days a week & nights as a maid to buy my first shoes so I could be a player.

All my success is dedicated to her and because of her and as long as she has a life, she will always be by my side, she has everything I can give.

She is my refuge and my greatest gift."

'Her dad told her, "If you marry that man you will never set foot in this house again."

Mary soon learned that most people felt the same way. The first years of their marriage living in Birmingham were hell-- no one would speak to them, they couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and they had no money. But they didn't give up.

Gradually life became easier. Mary got teaching jobs, ending up as a deputy head teacher. Jake worked in a factory and then got a job at the Post Office. Slowly they made friends, but it was difficult. Mary used to tell people, "before I invite you to my home.... my husband is black." Some would never talk to her again.

Last year they celebrated their 70th anniversary and they are still very much in love, and never regretted what they did.❤️

LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE GOD

Recently, about five major newspapers called out the DSS for bashing of sorts. The papers, which used their platforms to express varied views about the modus operandi of the Service include Vanguard, Daily Trust, The Sun, Tribune and Punch. While Vanguard’s piece on 2nd June 2023 was Dousing the DSS/EFCC Feud, Daily Trust, on 6th June 2023, published an editorial titled The DSS Must Conduct Its Duties as a Secret Service. The Sun, on 7th June, published The Needless DSS/EFCC Fracas while Tribune on 8th June 2023 wrote on The EFCC/DSS Confrontation.

Similarly, on 14th June 2023, Punch featured DSS, Others Need Radical Reforms. It did not seem that the editorials which sought the reforms of the DSS or to criticise it for its public statements or actions on various subject matters of national security concern were, by any means, an accident or a coincidence. It looked every inch planted or organised. It is a hatchet job or so it seemed. The judgement that the Service is excessively public or ubiquitous missed the point. The papers manifested predictable bias and patterns.

Relatedly, some respected legal personalities namely, Olisa Agbakoba SAN, Mike Ozekhome SAN and Femi Falana SAN opined that the Service operates outside its mandate especially with regards to the investigation of Godwin Emefiele. The fact that this matter has become sub-judice constrains the Service from making further statements about it. The celebration of the news of a court order to allow his Lawyers and family access to him is quite unnecessary. He was never denied access. Ever since he was taken into custody, his family has continually accessed him. Same with medical officials. The impression that the Service is going to act on the prompting of the Court is not correct. This is by the way.

Back to the subject under discourse. While it may be fair to admit that the news media and aforementioned personalities are entitled to their opinions, measured ignorance predominantly played out in their arguments.

First, they failed to recognise that security threats are evolving and so do the approaches to managing them. Instructively, the security landscape in Nigeria, like many other countries, has become increasingly complex and dynamic. The periodic issuance of press statements to educate or carry citizens and residents along has undoubtedly become part of strategies to manage national security challenges. Extensive research would have revealed to the critics that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other world intelligence Services deploy similar tactics including occasional statements and advisories. The CIA includes demographic information on its website to provide the public with valuable insights and data about various populations so to enhance understanding of different regions and communities. Does it mean CIA is operating outside its mandate? Or will that be accepted because it’s CIA, a foreign body?

The need for the agencies to be responsive, transparent and apprise taxpayers has become the global norm in national security and intelligence management. It is called security/intelligence accountability. The tenets of security and intelligence governance expect that agencies remain transparent, accountable and compliant to democracy. World over, Intelligence Services operate in ways and means not too discernable to the uninitiate. But the institutionalisation of democracy as preferred political culture has nonetheless forced such agencies to communicate often with the Public. You can see why the public statements can never be out of place. Without public consciousness and support, countering threats may remain a herculean task for security agencies. Democratic subordination and legislative oversight are basic principles which make it an obligation for these agencies to operate openly even when some of their activities are secret. Ask the USA, UK, France, Canada and other advanced democracies. This level of openness does not vitiate the expected secrecy or in any way compromise their operations.
Regarding the matter concerning the DSS and EFCC, both agencies have refuted claims of a rivalry. It is important to note that comparing the 30th May, 2023 incident at 15 Awolowo Road, Lagos to the barricade of National Assembly in 2018 is inaccurate and unjust due to the substantial differences in the nature and context of the two events. While it is essential to emphasize inter-agency relations and cooperation, it would be unfair to generalise and imply that the Service is in rivalry and power struggle with the Commission. Each agency operates within its distinct mandate and context.
Meanwhile, the editorials accurately alluded to the constitutionality of the DSS as an intelligence organisation in detecting, preventing and neutralising threats against Nigeria. They commended the Service for its commitment to the security of the country as well as the many feats it had accomplished in the course of discharging its duties. Thank you indeed. It has to be understood that the Service is not only an intelligence organisation. It is also a law enforcement agency. It is a security and policy advisory organ. Its establishment law expects it to prevent. To prevent unarguably means to enforce. Should the Service seek media endorsement or permission before deploying operatives and equipment to conduct its job? Should it rather play to the gallery? Characteristic of intelligence operating systems, DSS’ activities may never be completely explained or understood particularly to those who do not need to know.

Even though some of its high officials and operations are known and veils of secrecy uncovered, there are thousand undercover personnel and actions that have no business going public. It is expected to remain so. With its broad mandate and legal authority to investigate crimes of national security significance, the DSS is well within its rights to initiate an inquiry into any relevant matter. The DSS is primarily charged to detect and prevent crimes and threats against the internal security of Nigeria. More profoundly, it is to undertake such other responsibility as maybe assigned to it by the President and Commander-in-Chief. Appreciating this role of the DSS is instructive for some sections of the media, lawyers and other interested parties. The Service operates on the basis of rule of law. Its operations are rule governed. As required, it obtains arrest and detention warrants when and if needed. For the fact that such instruments are not advertised does not suggest otherwise. Critics should get conversant with the law and rules of engagement and desist from misinforming, misleading or inciting the public. Those seeking to weaken the Service through premeditated reforms may be on a wild goose chase. Consistent attack on it based on ignorance, unrealised interests and emotional assessments and judgements does the country no good. The DSS has stood so firmly for Nigeria. It will continue to.
Considering the warped mentality that has triggered these writeups, it will, no doubt, be unsurprising to witness an upsurge in malicious articles, criticisms and baseless attacks in the public space following the investigations of Messrs Godwin Emefiele and Abdulrasheed Bawa among other flimsy matters. Certain groups and people are bound to come up with frivolous allegations against the Service and its leadership. These entities may also exploit unpatriotic members of the Service to spread falsehoods, propaganda and hate in order to project the Organisation in a bad light. Given their reach and war chest to mobilise forces against Government and its key officials, the adversaries may intend to cause distractions to the on-going investigations as directed by the C-in-C. However, the Service will not depose its professionalism for cheap backlash nor discharge its duty with prejudice or fear.
For those who canvass the opinion that the DSS has no business in investigating the matters referred to it are obviously not taking seriously the omnibus powers of the President, as enshrined in the enabling Acts of the SSS and the NSA. As argued by a onetime Director of the DSS, Fubara Duke, “When a law confers on the President power to delegate ANY assignments he deems fit for a particular Agency to perform, I wonder how it falls outside the purview of (ANY) the stipulations of the President’s powers and by extension why the DSS is being faulted for carrying out the President’s directive”. Continuing, he added: “I have heard arguments of cases being thrown out by the courts over questionable prosecutorial powers of the DSS regarding some categories of cases including criminal cases. Without prejudice to the wisdom of the court on such judgements, they should not override the lawful investigative authority of the DSS. Should there be need for prosecution in due course, these determinations would be appropriately evaluated and where/if necessary, appropriate prosecutorial agencies which may include the Attorney General’s Office or other sister agencies may be deployed to prosecute. It is not the first time this has happened”.
Let it be clear, however, that the DSS will remain unshaken and professional in carrying out its duties. It recommits to diligently operate, as always, within the confines of the law and to uphold the fundamental rights of all Nigerians. The media must, as the fifth estate of the realm, remain balanced, accurate, impartial and accountable. To sustain a deliberate misguidance of the public with any form of misconceptions is detrimental to nationhood. Therefore, to deepen the expected contributions, seeking veracity is not only ethical but obligatory. That should not be asking for too much.
