These fools must think they're gods in the East

You can't have two kings in one kingdom.

I remembered attending political rallies at Yaba during the protest for June 12.
There Beko would speak.

It's bloody going back home then. I once saw dead bodies on my way back home.
I was only 15 then. It hunted for days

4 this APC government....they wil steal on stil rub it on our face

We have to be honest with ourselves and not be blinded by clout chasing.
NDDC has been around for years with their corrupt riddled nature. Why has no previous govt think of exposing the corruption there?
But this govt is doing exactly that and we are still saying it the FG's fault.
Even if it's its failure, at least we have to commend it for unearthening it.
What do we want exactly?
We want an end to corruption but whenever we hear the FG exposing it we still blame them.
I'm certain that Buhari didn't put people their to go and steal. If he had , he won't be exposing them

That's not possible.
Even SA still has the Zulus
America still has the Red Indians and Rednecks

Fair enough

wingmanIII:
This government will go down as the most corrupt in the history of Nigeria.

You meant to say, the exposer of corruption under it in the history of Nigeria

You'll soon see some miscreants protesting their arrest

We will all die someone day.
Hopefully, not today.

KrazyDave16:
Guyy I can burn over 100GB in a day reading comics or downloading movies (not them 50MB kind that will make me strain my eye) and books as well

They'll make sure the speed of the data prevents you from doing exactly that

Ok. I think you've learnt your lesson. Go and sin no more

FlipModeSquade:
So it's UNLIMITED and at the same time subject to FUP?
Should have just told us 37Gb for 5K per Week.
Werey..

That's not even possible because you have to finish the 30gb first. And you can't do that in one day

Do you know that the best misrification political gimmick in Nigeria presidential election is to misficalate the essential pekamburities in each region to produce an agnostic irredentialism never equalled in no u r political clime.

That's why I find it funny when you post these horrendous itamutalinous tantamutations similar to what an awesome surreptitious political system can throw up.

Load of crap

The only person I can vote for here ( but even most Ibos didn't vote) is Moghalu

This Reno don kolo

See his dancing. He needs some dancing lessons. But that's not important

Kazeem47:
Can't they patronise Innoson?

GAC is a Lagos State brand.
They have an assembly plant at Ojota and they're building another at Lekki.

The Lag govt brought them to Nig. for a reason.
I am sure they're also using them to launder stolen fund

TheGodlessGod:
Looks like a ghetto area in Singapore

You don't even know the meaning of ghetto

Is this not the same type of question that journalist ask FFK?

It's only someone that is guilty that will flare up at such question

Alberta123:
I wonder why blacks are always aggressive knowing the history of the trigger happy white police.

The guy shot had a knife in his hand before attempting to get something in his car before been shot at the back after been ordered to stop .

The police man will be let go as he can claim self defense.


It's just a pity he lost his life over nothing.

Fucking listen to instructions from people with gun

How hard is that.

The police man is a psycho though. Shot him 7 times from the back.

He did not have a knife in his hand.
A knife was found at on the floor of the driver side of his car after the shooting.
Before the shooting while walking to his car he wasn't armed with any weapon

TheSERAPH:
Nice. But this won't actually wake Jacob Blake from death. Life is a one time opportunity once that opportunity is lost through death, then comes Judgement. No one knows the time when death will come. The more reason you must follow JESUS, because in him is eternal life. Accept JESUS today, tomorrow might be too late

He's not dead....yet

Messi is a citizen

I wonder what those supporting and defending his shameless action have to say now.

Those bankrolling his trips must have called him to order.
His action yesterday has turned the media against what they paid him to do.
I guess they told him to apologize ASAP else he won't cash the next cheque

Lol!

HabaHaba:
It's not everyone that is hypocritical my brother.

I myself, would have said worst.

The worst thing to happen to a man to become a Sissy before any other man, for no stupid reason!!!

No matter what, be YOUR OWN MAN! & take responsibility for your actions, no regrets, whatsoever.

I RESPECT FFK MORE BY HIS REACTIONS, HE SAID HE DOES NOT REGRET IT AT ALL, AND I LOVE THAT!!!

Just like FFK, you're a sadist

WoundedLamb:
The work of the journalist is to "uncover" and not to "ask seemingly embarrassing questions". It is understandable if the person being asked questions gets embarrassed but that is never the aim of journalism. Journalism is game of tact, the journalist must be unassuming and must ask unambiguous questions. To get the truth from people, the journalist blocks every exit route by first building his premise and then following up with trailing questions that cannot be avoided based on the pre-established premise. It's similar to litigation but less aggressive. Asking "who is sponsoring who (or "you"" when no premise has been built on the subject of "sponsoring" is not in any way smart. It creates room for the person to avoid the question.

Nigerians don't condemn things based on logic but mostly based on their relationship with the people involved. FFK has many foes so the fact that people are not condemning the journalist is nothing to go by. Besides, like I said earlier, FFK overreacted thus taking the attention away from the the journalist's poor skills.

You can't impose a particular tactic on every journalist. There is a reason why we are told to think outside the box.
Many famous journalist are renowned for being fierce and asking blunt questions. It all depends on the mentality of the person they're asking. FFK is full of himself.
FFK had been to Zamfara, Anambra and now Cross Rivers. He has never been seen in a law court before. He was minister 13 years ago. Who is bankrolling such VIP trip
is a relevant question. (Maybe you can tell me how else to ask it).
I only blame that man and other journalist there.
Read below how other journalist treated a whole American president when they felt he was racial profiling an Asian -American journalist cos if a question she asked.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2020/05/trump-testy-asian-american-reporter-media-briefing-200512001527879.html

Journalist have to be united in standing up for each other in Nigeria not preoccupied with a brown envelope.

WoundedLamb:
A straight Yes or No to "who is bankrolling you?". That was not a Yes or No question. Stupid is not the only insult out there. That question already suggested the man was being bankrolled. Amanpour would not ask "who is bankrolling you?" if it hasn't been established that the former senator was being bankrolled, never. She'd rather first ask if he was being sponsored before moving on to who is doing that. And that's where a simple Yes or No would have been perfect. If you want to be a tough journalist, learn how to prepare soft landings for yourself. Journalism involves a lot of intelligence and fast thinking, this guy didn't employ any of those. FFK over reacted but the journalist's question was not carefully thought out. We are just refusing to see it cause any opportunity to lash out at someone we don't like is welcome.

It's the work of every journalist to ask seemingly embarrassing questions.
You either answer or decline. Simple!
There is nothing wrong with the question. Ffk himself asked to be asked any form of questions that he's equal to the task.

The journalist only disappointed me by not standing his ground.
As a journalist, you must be prepared. You mustn't be intimidated. You have to be aware of just who you are, what you are, what you know, what you bring to the table and what you deserve. Don’t be apologetic.
I doubt if you are a journalist anyway.

Lala of cos!

WoundedLamb:
The video circulated was carefully edited to show only the outburst and not what led to it. However, FFK claimed the man's statement was "who is bankrolling who" while the journalist himself said his question was "who is bankrolling you?". Whichever one, it is still very tactless. You haven't established he is being bankrolled and you're asking who is bankrolling him. That's a whole lot of assumption and insinuation.

FFk was here saying it's not a question.
But in the video he was screaming " what type of stupid question is that?"

Did the man call Ffk stupid?
Did he insult FFk?
If FFk knew he couldn't stand scrutiny why did he call a press interview?
Many journalists have ask presidents directly embarrassing question and they find a way to dodge it. Go watch Amanpour.
A straight Yes or No would have done.
But being the delinquent he is he had to act condescending by insulting and intimidating the journalist.
That embarrassment was not only directed at that man but to all journalist.
Wait for NUJ's response.

Benbellamor:
The question from the journalists implies that

Ffk has no job to be funding his trips and elaborate lifestyle

Suggest that FFK is bankrupt and need Someone to actually be Pushing him to roll to keep up with his peers
The best answer is to block further injury done already to FFK status by the inexperienced journalists..

Frankly speaking, does he have a job?

He said he's a lawyer, have you sighted him in any court b4?

WoundedLamb:
Seun will ask a 'productive' question. This journalist spoke like a tout under the bridge. He could have tactfully asked the same question leaving the man with no option than to answer but instead, he said "we don't know who is bankrolling who". FFK overreacted but the journalist needs some further training.

Did you see the video of the said question?

MAYOWAAK:
Fani-Kayode’s Attack on Daily Trust Reporter: Our Stand

The management of Media Trust Limited, publishers of Daily Trust and other titles, would like to condemn the reprehensible actions of Femi Fani-Kayode, who in a video clip now gone viral, verbally assaulted – repeatedly – our reporter, Eyo Charles in the course of doing his job. The encounter occurred in Calabar, Cross River State, in the morning of Thursday 20, August 2020 at a hotel, during a roundtable with invited journalists.

During the roundtable, Charles asked Fani-Kayode who was bankrolling his recent trips around Nigeria, to which the ex-minister responded with a raised voice, insults, and eventually a threat to inflict bodily harm on our reporter. The barrage continued for some minutes, while bewildered journalists, including our reporter, looked on.

The video clip, also released on one of the ex-minister’s social media accounts, was conveniently edited to exclude the question asked by Charles, totally devoid of mischief, simply sought clarification and information, like good journalism should. Said editing paved the way for a social media lynch mob to rain expletives on our reporter, labelling him as ‘rude’. This could not be further away from the truth, and we stand by Charles, and commend him for his calmness during the ordeal.

Daily Trust reporters are responsible professionals, who uphold the tenets of journalism, as well as best practices.

That Fani-Kayode attacks a reporter doing his job, is an indication of the chilling disregard he has towards the media, and its work in investigating and reporting on issues. As always, we stand in solidarity with our reporters, and will continue to fight for the rights of all journalists. After all, journalism is part of the bedrock of democracy; therefore practitioners must not be intimidated or threatened as they carry out their work.

We urge the Nigeria Police to take note, that if anything happens to Charles, Daily Trust will hold Fani-Kayode responsible, especially due to the intensity of the verbal threats he issued during the shocking incident.

The actions of Fani-Kayode are not only reprehensible, but also constitute a setback to press freedom, in a most dire form. This kind of assault raises major concerns over the safety of journalists in Nigeria.

Daily Trust is a completely independent media organisation that does not pander to the whims of any individual or group, no matter how powerful or well-placed in society. We will continue to serve Nigerians – and indeed the world – with quality, reliable reportage, no matter whose ox is gored.

Signed

Naziru Mikailu Abubakar

Executive Director/Editor-in-Chief

I also expect NUJ to make a public statement on this matter

This FFK must think all Nigerians are Ipobs.

Why was he saying, " what type of stupid question is that?" If it's not a question?

Ipobs, come and carry your weed smoking delinquent
