HzRF:They are circulating the lies through online forums. A deliberate attemp to further damage the reputation of AIT. |
hopilo:Most of them are hypocrites. They cried blue murder when Nigerian military seized Leadership Newpappers critical of its operations against boko haram but are here supporting gross act of impunity against a media house. |

Sincere4u:If care is not taking, Nigeria will slide back into dictatorship where freedom of press will not be garanteed. They are now using ethical issues and professionalism and even security for reasons for the restrictions on AIT. That means in coming days after may 29, any media house that report news they dont like, they will be ban in the name of ethics. Here's the question, where is the role of the opposition in this kind of umpunity So every media has to dance to their tune If the likes of TVC, Leadership and others critical of GEJ were bared from Aso Rock, they will be the first to cry out to the international community to make GEJ look evil. Now that they are the ones in public view, they are baring media houses critical of them. This is a perfect example of impunity and intolerance. They used media houses to abuse, insult and spread lies against GEJ's government but do not want others who are also critical of them to do thesame. Trust me the real test on Buhari's incoming government will be his disposition towards freedom of the press. |
richiepolymer:Buhari is free to go to court and lay his complain against AIT's documentary if he feels they are false. That is why we have the law courts. But he has no right to bar them from covering his activities. Its important you guys understant that the moment Buhari became President elect he ceases to be a private citizen. He is now a public official. He can't do what ever he feels like any longer. If he wants privacy then he's in for a big shock because there is no privacy the moment he became President in waiting. Even the place he's currently lodged in is a public structure, more like Aso Rock2. Defence house is not a private property of anyone. Therefore baring AIT from the defence house is an affront against freedom of press. |
Mynd44:Citing security reasons for baring a media house from covering his activities does not hold water. Were the journalist found with some kind of weapon? He deliberately single out AIT because of the Documentary. Now many of you will say they were not professional in their activities. Then i ask, what is professionalism Is it when a media house do what you like Air programes to support your candidacy Does it mean that the media has to dance to the tune of the government in airing or writting articles the government like Where is the place for opposition Isnt that an affront on press freedom When TVC, Sahara reporters, Leadership news papers where busing dishing out falsehood against GEJ did he bar them from covering his activities Buhari is free to go to court if he feels the documentary aired against him was false but baring them from the defence house to cover his activities is an action that shows intolerance, witchhunt and gag of press freedom. The defence house where the President elect is lodged temporarily is a public structure like Aso Rock owned collectively by the people of Nigeria. That place is not Buhari's private property. |
jmaine:They still dont understand what it means to be a President elect. Their use of privacy as reasons for baring AIT is very Ridiculous. |
Banter1:When Sahara reporters , The Nation and Leadership newspapers were writting lies against GEJ government you didn't see anything wrong with that ![]() |
realborn:Buhari became a public official the moment he became president elect. |
Mynd44:No. But that is a different ball game. A government that finds a media house to be particularly too critical of its policies can choose not to patronise that media house. There's no problem with that. Infact, that is exactly what Obama did. He doesnt honor their interview request nor make adverts through them. But he never bared them from covering his functions as president elect up to his Presidency till date. Buhari can choose not to patronise AIT but he has no right to bar them from doing their work. |
...And they keep on misrepresenting figures. When will the west get it into their heads that Nigeria's GDP is $510 billion, not $469 bilion ![]() |
not4sure:You need a lot of education about democracy and th freedom of press in a Presidential system of government. Did i hear you say fox news were professional in their work What is professional about calling someone derogative names Clearly you dont watch fox news. |
Pls bear with me if you find my writeup a bit disorganized. My tablet is yet to arive so am using a small phone to write this piece to express maself about recent development. Thanks for understanding. I was thrown into a deep shock when i read in the news that President elect, M. Buhari bared media house AIT from covering his activities. Though i wasnt surprised by his action, i was surprise because he's already showing the true nature we knew he was even before swearing in. What sort of democrat bar a media house from covering public activities? Does he think the office of President is he's private property? Who does he think he is? A king? Does he know the meaning of a public servant? Maybe not. Why he's semi illitrate, if not he would have understood that in democracy, the office of the president is not only accountable to the people but also to the Press. That is why freedom of the Press is one of the shining lights of democracy as a form of govenment. This singular act by Buhari to bar a media organization from covering his activities as president elect just comfirm that he's still the same old dictator that he was 32 years ago. A liar who lied to the world in Chatam house that he was a democrat, banning a media house from covering his activities because of a documentary? Very childish and imature indeed! Does he know what democracy is all about? If he feels pained by a documentary then he has no business in politics. I remember vividly during the US presidential campaign of 2008 when Fox News network castigated Obama to a point of no return. They made fun of him, ridicule him, called him monkey, fueled his birth certificate issues to the extend that almost got most Americans asking questions about his true country of birth. In the end he had to surrender his birth certificate to the press (unlike Buhari and his school certificate mess). It was a scandal. Plus the many other systematic attacks against his candidacy. Fox news people are racist. Those of you who watched that channel during and after the Presidential campaigns will know what am talking about. But ever since Barack Obama won the Presidency of the United States, not ones did Obama vent out his anger to revenge against fox news. Why? Because he understood the principles of democracy. As a private individual no media house will bother you. But as soon as you become a politician, the eyes of the press makes a microscopic look at your personality. The media will not only scrutinize your past but will also go way back in time to study your childhood background. Any shocking revelation will be brought to the public front. That is the way it is in democracy especially in advance societies like USA. Even our dear GEJ was not speared from the hard scrutinizing lens of the press, sometimes personal and insulting attacks against him. Did he ever vent out his anger by baring them from covering his activities? No. Why? Because he like Obama understood the principles of Democracy. He understood that press freedom is paramount in democracy. Thats why Nigerians of all ages can express themselves freely without fear of being arrested. This is the beauty of Democracy and freedom. For Buhari to lower himself like a child who got his azz kicked by his cousin to trample upon Freedom of Press shows that he's nothing but thesame old dictator in civilian clothes. Just like someone said, like OBJ like Buhari. Both dictators in civilian clothing. BTW, I hear many Buhari followers giving excuses that he has the right to bar AIT citing privacy as reasons. Sure i completely agree that every individual on the planet deserves the right to privacy. That ofcouse is a fundamental human right. But they however failed to note that as soon as an individual becomes a public official in the position of a President elect, privacy becomes a secondary issue. Infact privacy is not an excuss to bar a media organization from performing its function by investigating Buhari's activites as president elect. |
NYSC is crap. Total waste of resources. @Op 1 trillion naira is not 1 million. This your analysis will only skyrocket inflation and increase recurrent expenditure. Another perfect avenue for theft. |
Totaly endorse this thread. ![]() |
Ladies must stay away from isolated places or going to such places alone. If you need to go somewhere at night, make sure you go with a friend. I Endorse this thread. |
Olofintoto:what transpired during Buhari's headship of PTF is already playing out. Report has it that strange faces, never seen before had encircled the president elect. In complete control of Buhari. They are possing themselves as advisers on virtually every matter, from who becomes a minister to who becomes member of the transition committee. Expect more scandals soon. |
This is getting intresting. The so called Wind of Change is already taking effect. Osinbajo gradually sidelined and dumped, sloping deep into political oblivion since the Chatam house fiasco. Watching Buhari with Microscope. |
Can't wait for the incoming government to take over in may 29 and see how the Daura Magician will use his magic wand to solve Nigeria's problems overnight. Lets see how he will carry out a total prope of NNPC together with the missing N2.8 billion of 1978. |
kalushaiyke:...Fly together. ![]() |
Members of the Reptilian brotherhood dont care about anyone but their agenda. Malik and family should forget about Obama and move on with their lives. |
okoroko:Your situation is nothing new. Lots of men have problem approaching ladies. The issue is deeply psychological. I advice you get a mentor to help you out. The first step towards solving a problem is by identifying the problem. I salute the courage you took by expressing yourself about the challenge you are going through. Most guys just keep it to themselves only to suffer terribly in silence. |
Hallexander:What you are going through is what they call Obsession. You are under the influence of infatuation. But not to worry. This is part of natural growing process. We all been there. |
dutchjongen:Time will tell. |
This is good news. Looks like Buhari is becoming settled in state matters now. I can't wait for him to re-investigate the missing $20 billion Sanusi allegations for more facts. As a honest incorruptible general am perfectly sure he will see to it that a total prope is carried out in NNPC all finanaces. I have no doubt that the findings will be made public to Nigerians. Then will Nigerians realise that Buhari means business. An individual who is honest enough to release the investigative report surounding the missing $20 billion together with the N2.8 bllion ($3 billion) that mysteriouly disappeared in1978 during his tenure as minister of petroleum is certainly incorruptible. |
irunoobo:The death of South Africans through collapse building in Lagos was not a deliberate attack. It was an accident. However that of South Africa is a deliberate attck on foreign nationals. Nigeria was not in error recalling her ambassador. |
Yungwizzzy:Be like Joseph in the bible. Run for ya life. |
baby124:The Daura Magician to empower women The same man that swore with all his might to destroy the office of first lady![]() |
uzolexis:No need for refreshment. Chelsea willl trash Assnal. |
Judolisco:If Arsenal beat Chelsea like this i will trek to Sambisa forest. Blues for life!!!!!! |
