Nigeria First: A Call for Fairness in Our Media

It is deeply painful to witness how some media houses in Nigeria handle sensitive issues, especially when Muslims are involved. Recently, a tragic bomb blast occurred in a mosque in Maiduguri. According to reports, lives were lost and many were injured. This alone should have moved every conscience.

Yet, what made the situation even more disturbing was how some media outlets chose to report it.

For example, a headline from Channels TV read:
“Many Feared Dead As Bomb Blast Rocks Maiduguri On Christmas Eve.”

This headline is misleading. It subtly creates the impression that Christians were targeted during Christmas, without clearly stating that the incident occurred inside a mosque and that Muslims were the victims. This is not just poor journalism — it is unfair, insensitive, and dangerous.

Sadly, this is not the first time such a pattern has appeared. When victims are Christians, headlines often clearly state it. But when Muslims are affected, the language becomes vague or carefully framed in a way that distorts public perception.

Where is the justice?
Where is the professionalism?
Where is the humanity?

Journalism is meant to inform, not inflame. It should unite, not divide. A journalist must rise above personal beliefs and sentiments. Lives are lives — Muslim or Christian — and pain does not have a religion.

It is even more troubling that credible bodies like the NSCIA have reportedly raised concerns that some media houses reject Muslim-sponsored programmes, even when willing to pay, which clearly goes against ethical broadcasting standards. This should worry every fair-minded Nigerian.

Before we are Muslims or Christians, we are Nigerians.
Before religion, there is humanity.
Before bias, there must be truth.

Nigeria cannot heal when truth is selective and empathy is conditional. Media houses must do better. We must all do better.

May Allah grant justice to the oppressed, guide our leaders and institutions, and heal our nation.

What do you expect when the owners and the editors/directors are mostly Christians and biased Christians for that matter matter?

inoki247:
Are you part of the terrorist....



The FG isn't complaining so what's with your tears ...

1. FG is too ashamed to react.
2. They don't want to risk unstable Trump escalating the bombing campaign, they would want it to be over quickly and everyone moves on like it never happened

LordIsaac:
The order was to shoot on sight, not arrest!

You don't understand, we pardon your ignorance. How do you shoot at sight when the situation could be the case of stop and search and not a case of shootout?
If they shoot at sight and it turns out that they killed innocent people, Nigerians would call for their heads. Would you be there for their families while they are locked up awaiting trial?

dawnomike:
I love her selflessness... But, marriage is for better for worse!!!
If the table were to be turbed around, we would expect the wife to endure till the end... So, her husband should endure out of love for his wife!

Only if the wife wants to endure to the end. We have seen or heard many cases where wives left the marriages even the kids in some cases and never looked back.
Besides, the report says it is the wife who is actively searching, not the husband

LagosOrigin:
You're a terrorist sympathiser and maybe benefited from terrorism

Come and sue me

Orlandoo:
Only in Nigeria. A terrorist that should be behind bars is taking people to court.

Many Nigerians lack critical thinking. If FG could defeat kidnapping, not terrorism, we wouldn't be where we are at this moment. He was advocating for kidnappers/bandits, not terrorists until this moment that FG is making move to classify them too as terrorists.

Samantha125:
Do you also tell that to deadbeat fathers?

You should take full responsibility of your children in their mothers absence without complaining like many women are doing after the fathers of their children decided to abandon their responsibilities of providing for their children.

Stop being such cry babies when women decide to leave you with your children... The child calls by your surname, not hers.

All what I'm telling you is to stop calling situations like this equal right. And stop blind and unconditional support for your gender, it doesn't make sense

Codes151:
We rush to build 22 storey without any safety implemented for fire.

Thank God no issues to life.

As for the building owner. Senseless

Thank you my brother. I'm a firefighter and we were asked to watch as many movies about fire as possible to understand fire better. In one particular movie (Ladder 49 or The Towering Inferno), the fire chief expressed concern about the advent of high rising buildings and without the involvement of firefighters in the planning and execution of such projects to the finish

chatinent:
A 22 storey doesn't have anti-fire mechanism and quick response utilities?

That building may likely burn down completely. Fire in high rising buildings is difficult to extinguish

Exceed15:
Before he was caught, this guy was always invited on programs to motivate youth. about his success as a young person.

Well, at least, he never told the youths who he actually was and what he actually did.

Dee11ee:
Atlast, I hope he will be legit in his doing

No way. He is already used to easy mega money. This dude will come back to Nigeria and run ponzi scheme to defraud stubborn Nigerians who never learn. Mark my words

Richtaiwo:
What exactly has this one been typing all over this thread? The comments reek of a complete absence of basic maternal instinct, something even the lowest animals possess. It is pure, unfiltered nonsense.

So the argument now is that because a nursing mother has issues with her husband, she should abandon her baby just to score cheap points? How depraved does one have to be to even think like that? What kind of woman contemplates walking away from her breastfeeding child?

At this point, one can only conclude that such a woman is a shameless gold digger who suddenly realised she had been digging in the wrong soil and, out of spite and disappointment, lost all regard for life itself, even when that life is her own baby’s.

If she hates the man, does she also despise her child? One is forced to question whether such a person has any humanity at all, because even animals would not display this level of cruelty, selfishness, and moral bankruptcy to her own baby

You know some of them here on Nairaland are actually not normal, like something in them has actually damaged. They would defend the actions of their fellow gender no matter what those one did, it is tiring. I see them as Trolls

Samantha125:
It's not just her baby, but THEIR baby, they made him or her together, meaning they should have equal responsibilities in looking after their baby...
------------------
The father should also be able to care for the baby without any complaints in the mother's absence.

Your first sentence, you said they both have equal responsibilities. But in the second sentence, you said the father should take care of the baby alone and he should not complain.
I'm sure that you can clearly see that you and common.sense are miles apart.
Equal responsibility means one partner goes out to look for money they will use to take care of the baby while the other partner looks after the baby physically.

RollinTNDA:
She is dealing with Post Partum Depression

Do you think it's easy for the body to recover after 9 months of hormonal rush that her body goes through. .

Local Nigerian men are too dull to know what post Partum Depression is. They rather hurl insults at the poor woman. Instead of being their to support her during that phase after childbirth

Ask your father, he will tell you how your mother behave aggressive after you were birth.
It's called PPD google it and learn one thing today

Did your mother abandon you too and claimed that she was suffering from post partum depression?

immortalcrown:
Interlocking is done with line openings for percolation of water.

My only complaint is lack of green areas for plants.

Fewer people are actually using interlocking, most are using cement and sand, then stamp it to make it looks like interlocking. No water percolates in their compounds, every single rain drop just run off and cause erosion in their areas

omoredia:
Its a sign of illiteracy. I detest it alot

Ignorance is the best fit word

What's this woman's secret in the film industry, her films are top ranking these days. Congratulations

Hassanmaye:
I regret being born here, a country where one person steal 7.5B to his 3 children secondary school fees, his children school fees can pay for 750 local governments in Nigeria school fees, this is the wicked country we are living in, wicked and evil leaders, they have steal everything. If you budget 6.8 trillion for health sector, 4B will be stolen and went to private thieves

>Malami 212 Billion naira worth of properties detected so far, not yet an end.
>Alex Badeh, ex service chief under Jonathan bought properties worth over 1 billion naira for his son before kidnappers killed him on expressway.
>Retired cjn Onnoghen had 2 billion dollars in his account before he was asked to retired. He claimed it was his gains from rice importation.
>Diezani is there and other thousands of them

THAT MAN DIDN'T KNOW J E S U S, SO HE DIED USELESSLY!!!

Jesus will even deny you because you're an embarrassment to him

Holy ghost! Fireeeeeeeee!

Wotowotoman:
Guy, you pass English for WAEC? No lie

What did you read up there? May be you should summarise yours instead of asking silly question? Or, you are misyarning because of the typo error? "still-stop".

Typing:
Next Northern President will do same to Tinubu. All his Lagos properties will be seized. They were acquired with proceeds of corruption.

You saying 65 million dollars that he swallowed wasn't enough? They should have let him have the land as well free of charge and he was about selling it

Wickedtruths:
Did you guys read it or you are just foaming at the mouth?

Who didn't know that corruption reached its peak in the history of Nigeria under Jonathan and his record hasn't been broken? Dude went on national television and told Nigerians that "stealing is not corruption".
His wife's hotel was valued 2 billion naira when dollar was around N200. Can you guess its value today? Where did illiterate woman get the money?

greatermax77:
😂 😂 😂 If you want to hide anything for Nigerians put it in writing. Nothing concerned PGEJ in this matter oo, only that the housing scheme is supposed to be named after him. Our younger generation have refused to read. Our future is blink

Lol. He was in power at the time. FMBN is under FG. 65 million dollars was borrowed in 2012! Do you know its value at the time. You think president wouldn't be informed? And that huge loan disappeared like that! Why are some people now shouting Tinubu is incompetent if they believe that some things don't concern him

manable:
What next how it effect the life of low privilege and what of jagaban in logos and some idiot will be praising him

What are you saying? U smoke weed?

See corruption at its peak! 65 million dollars paid an not a single house. And they still wanted to sell the entire land to unsuspecting Nigerians?

HgAkpobomeEr:
Good step by the US government.

Lol. Who is this going to affect anyway?

Nuhuojo1:
US is not playing with us

Eeyahhhhh! We need to declare a day for national crying over this, don't you think so?

Iceberg3:
If it is true that she actually is a witch and was caught shape shifting , then the lynching have saved generations.

This is your mentality 🤣🤣.
You believe there are witches.
You believe people can shape shift.
You believe killing innocent people saves generations.
Finally, you believe in lynching, you believe jungle justice.
SMH for you.
This your post above, I will be quoting it each time you mention my moniker on nairaland.

Nukes is not meant for Terrorists and their sympathizers. You should be glad that Nukes are not produced by mad men else they for don Nuke you where you de.

Meanwhile, Israel is a terrorists nation and that's why their PM and not Iran PM is wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity. You see, common sense is an asset

Watcharena:
Iran is almost twice the size of Nigeria, it can't be destroyed like Gaza

Another reason why Israel can't succeed without direct US involvement

yinkus6750:
His bringing PMS price down cos his refinery monopoly was been challenged by the cabals who wanted to frustrate him.
However,when BUA reduced price of cement, he didn't see the need to toe same path , been the highest producer of cement.
It's just unfortunate they busy reasoning is off ,despite the huge volume of raw materials within the country.

Did you benefit from the reduction of BUA cement price as a final consumer or you knew any consumer who did? Because I remember that BUA stopped when he realised that the price reduction didn't reach the final consumer

mascot87:
Iran military capability should be totally grounded once and for all

Lol. You think Israel can achieve that? Not even with Trump support. You saw what Israel did to Gaza and Palestinians? She couldn't have achieved that without non stop weapons supply and funding from US.
