OGHENAOGIE:
leave sentiment asides channels de do balanced journalism unlike others...AIT partisanship is too obvious...

Did I dispute the partisan nature of AIT reporting?

Sentiments?? Is dokpesi my father or what

Channels is Pro APC. but they try to be neutral

Yyeske:
What's this argument all about sef, of these 3 stations AIT, Channels and TVC, Channels is the most balanced in reporting news, AIT is pro PDP and TVC is pro APC but you never would see or hear inciting comments on the other two except for AIT and that is against the code of broadcasting in Nigeria.
AIT has been warned several times but it still goes on with it.
Many people would've noticed on some other local stations that the presenter usually stop a guest whenever they want to veer off a topic or start some unnecessary name calling but AIT never cautions its guests and I believe the station deserves what it got finally.

What inciting sentiments were made on AIT

please speak to specifics

ericsmith:
ignorance that AIT is right or above the code of conduct that binds its mode of broadcast .... you know so much but made no point

baba take several seats

Go and read us on the Jim Acosta VS white house issue

9jaRealist:
With all due respect, your post shows little or no knowledge of what actually transpired in the Jim Acosta episode and case...

First, the Acosta case involves a totally different subject matter than that being discussed here. It is a case of revoking one journalist’s press pass (on the shaky grounds that no guest has an automatic right of access to the White House), not trying to revoke the license of a network. Furthermore, in the US, broadcast license are granted merely for the purpose of regulating broadcast spectrum (so that they do not interfere with each other), and not to regulate content.

For the avoidance of any doubt, the US’s Federal Communications Commission (the US equivalent of our NBC) does NOT regulate the content of things broadcast over the airwaves. In fact, the US Communications Act specifically provides (in Section 326) that “Nothing in this Act should be understood or construed to give the Commission the power of censorship...and no regulation or condition shall be fixed which shall interfere with the right of free speech...

you could have let him embarrass himself more sha

ericsmith:
Lets learn, it quiet irritating when people talk without prior knowledge.
"In a case whose title sums up the hostile relations between the Trump administration and the media – Cable News Network"
search n readup the law suite between trump vs cnn/acosta ... cnn is still standing becos they are yet to violate codes & conduct of broadcast.
Ait saw these coming, even the public were aware of the several warnings nbc served daar communication ... moreover the nbc sanction letter has no iota of biase or witch hunt, they are free to go to court

You are so confident in your ignorance sha

Darnyelx:
Abeg those comparing AIT with CNN should stop. However the American government chooses to run their government is up to them. Maybe their laws give them the freedom to do whatever they want to do. But this Nigeria, we have our own rules. So as long as you are in Nigeria we must abide by the rules, if you feel they don't favour you, there are other countries to migrate to.

What rule

speak to specifics

OGHENAOGIE:
oga channels is not pro any party unless u are deluded

It's arguable

But I know what I'm saying based on topics I can't discuss openly

SEGLIZ:
even when it is obvious your guests coming on your platform shouldn't use to break those same laws.

Like I said

You are speaking in abstracts

Bring specific cases.

iammo:
This isn't about partisanship... imagine if TVC decides.to publish comments on nairaland and chooses comments of luciferakbar, luciferramadan or nwaamikpe.. would you still support them??

Depends on the context

those guys just say stuff for kick usually off topic

so they don't apply in this scenario.

Are you trying to insinuate that they go out of their way to pick ridiculous comments that don't relate in anyway to the subject matter?

millionboi2:
Well if this is true .....datz too bad of Nancy

It's actually true and that's the only specific speech I can classify as hate speech

wirinet:
Yes, for a radio and TV station operating very under a government license. They are only using social media as an excuse for propagating their political views. Why air those views? Whatever view you want to hold you will find it on social media. If you want views on paedophiles, murderers, rapists, etc, you will find it on social media. That does not give you the rights to propagate them.

You are speaking in ambiguity.

one guy point out some statements like

Nigeria is cursed, we declare the republic of Niger delta

And Nigeria irritates me

Those are Hate speeches??


Let's all speak objectively here

The social media program covers a wide range of issues not just the political.

if those statements above are what you classify as hate speech

Then I disagree with you

wirinet:
Disagreeing with a trade ( or even a real) war is not the same thing as inciting citizens against the country.
Even claiming the USA and Israel are terrorists killing Palestinians is also not incitement, it's a personal view. Even trump during his presidency had liken US gulf wars to terrorist action.

Compare this statement to the examples you are quoting;

Statements made on CNN

A California Congress man, said they don't accept the election result and that California should break away from the US


CNN job has been to incite the people against the govt.

That's just the fact


Van Jones on CNN, this election result is a manifestation of deep rooted racist behavior of White Americans. it's was a whitelash. Latino, black, gay etc should be afraid

Bros you just have to watch a Don Lemon segment on CNN to see pure undiluted hate speech

SEGLIZ:
everything is right here, the thing here is we don't cry foul of everything.
all infraction shouldn't to closure but not when an individual, corporate individual or entity or agency keep flouting rules and regulations over and over again like who would hold me responsible. dopesi and daar ain't above the laws.

What is the law?

The law that changes with who is in power

let the NBC categorically state where they rules abi hate speech was made
it's important to note guest opinions are theirs alone

Unless the journalist themselves make sweeping remark, I don't see the problem

And kakaki social, pls if you post that I'll just laugh

Darnyelx:
Even if you are partisan please follow the rule of law. Even INEC have laid down rules for political parties guiding them against hate speech.

What we all want is a united Nigeria.

Therefore no one, no organisation is greater than the peace and oneness of Nigeria.

All of you are speaking in ambiguity

Point out the instances hate speech was made

martineverest:
they NEVER made any inciteful reportage....they made anti GEJ reports but they were still professional

So reading off people's comments on social media is unprofessional?

martineverest:
CNN haven't broken any ethical rules...so they can't be revoked of their license

It's all Politics.

CNN, CNBC and must of the other main stream outlets are Pro DNC

Fox is Pro Republican

You can't hurt one without hurting the other.

wirinet:
Why do you people behave as if you are autistic. Insulting a president is not the same thing as insulting the country. Reno Omokri, Fani Kayode and IPOB insults Buhari (apart from other favourite targets of Tinubu, Amaechi and Oshiomole), it is when they start inciting the citizens against the country that they have gone too far. CAN had never incited US citizens against the country, just because they don't like the president.

Are you joking?

I can't believe what I'm reading

People that ran shows bashing the country and praying the Chinese win the trade war

Claim that USA and Israel are terrorists nations killing Palestinians

Ran a segment saying "American isn't great"

Bros take several seats

iammo:


.
If we won't allow NBC do its job without sentimental interference, then let them pack and go.

Many people think they are hurting buhari, but unknowingly they are hurting Nigeria's own image, with countries like Ghana and kenya now trolling us.

Khakaki social basically lift off hate speech and inciteful comments on twitter and instablog9j.a



Imediately after the election, AIT aired an edition of moneyline with Nancy, and she went on and on trolling Northerners, saying the Nigerian Poverty wears the northern cap, openly saying northerners deserved "worst for voting PMB. That day i saw the painfull look on my aboki friend, the nonsense totaly ruined his mood for the day, that i had to leave his office.

This is a federal staff that is in an agency that can ruin nancy for life, without the directives of the president




.

Although AIt is greatly partisan. But in an era where most of the media outlets are controlled or influenced by the state, it is a necessary evil

Now citing the kakaki social program. These are comments lifted from the social media, not the comments of the journalists

Social media has become one of the best ways to shine a light on social ills and get unfiltered reaction


The hate speech as you term it, are generally frustrations against the actions and inaction of govt.

Rather than try to gag them and live in an echo chamber, why not work on them to improve them?

The people commenting are they not Nigerians?

if they are not problems would they be any need for the back lash

let's stop the hypocritical stuff abeg.

Alajiki:
a

Yeah, you're correct. But this infraction has been met with the appropriate measure. AIT is an irresponsible media house. When have you seen Channels or TVC do that nonsense.

By the way I was once a journalist with the most read newsmagazine in the country.

Pls we all know TVC and channels are Pro APC

Why didn't Jonathan revoke TVC's license with the smear campaign they ran in 2015.

martineverest:
u aren't current at all. ..when CNN was about to be acquired last year, what happened?

CNN license bhavent been revoked cos they are still professional and follows ethics of broadcasting in USA unlike AIT

Have you watched CNN in the last 3-4 years

They make AIT look Like angels.

but the President cannot revoke their license without great back lash from the DNC

biolite:
Why are people comparing Trump and CNN News with that of AIT and NBC. CNN report objectivetivity in their reportage while AIT are reporting unbalanced information and this cast alot of aspersions on the Buhari Govt. this warrant breach of some broadcast code ethics and they were summoned with a caution letter earlier.In my opinion let AIT reports be professional and not partisan.Nobody will witch hunt them.Let them put their house in order.

CNN objective.

You must be kidding me.

CNN is the DNC equivalent of Fox News

they are highly partisan

MrMou:
Oga, this isn't about Buhari! There's nothing CNN will do to trump that'll be worse than the distasteful lies called documentary by AIT on Buhari just before 2015 elections, & Buhari didn't do anything to them after elections. You suppose don know by now say Buhari no send you; he'll have done whatever he wants to do to them then & nothing will happen. Una go just wail ni!

Has CNN ever said something close to "Nigeria is cursed; I declare an independent state of Niger Delta" or "Nigeria irritates me" LIVE ON AIR? You think CNN is as lawless as your darling AIT?

You haven't watched CNN in a long time

People that called trump a Russian agent
orange man, dumb, stupid, racist etc

just to name a few



Don't compare AIT and CNN abeg. They are far worse.

hybridblood07:
Lol you are a comedian I swear. Unilag will never give anybody admission is the person is not up to 16 years.

Oga you are the one who is a comedian.

I know the family inside out

I'm telling you the truth. You are just talking like you are not aware that u can use an affidavit to increase or decrease age

of course he didn't claim 14 .


But at the time.

That was he's age. That's the fact


Personally I thing he should stop talking about his age.

It would hurt him in Future

hybridblood07:
Please don't sound stupid nah... At what age did he entered Unilag, what age did he graduated plus strike ooo..

Oga he entered unilag at 14.

What strike between 08-012 that was major?

None affected the academic calendar

The only major strike I remember was the 6 month strike in 013.

And this is Unilag, not OAU or the likes. They don't go on needless strikes

tortee:
Tobi is actually 25yrs old but he finished school in 2014 not 2012...

he finished 2012 . finance department, faculty of business administration

Unilag.

Gerrard59:
Most likely, he jumped classes. The family is made up of brilliant folks evident by Femi being a one time BGS of Unilag few years ago. Truth is: Femi is his elder brother and is 26. There's no way Tobi will be older as most people opined.

Femi will be 28 this year

hybridblood07:
I don't think you're normal. He's more than 26 sef

oga he's 26. stop hating

he didn't do primary 5

he didn't do ss3

entered unilag and finished 2012

he's secondary school was Engreg High school

he's 26 not 25

rawfact:
Internet Traffic does not guarantee riches so don't be deceived.

Meanwhile, I watched same video earlier today and only downloaded it for the purpose of analyzing it.

And after playing it severally, I could truly see that Naira Marley didn't even have an idea of the colossal damage he was doing to the future of an average Nigerian Youth. To him, he was just catching his fun with his goons.

Well, I pray his bail condition gets successful on May 30 because 7 years imprisonment will totally bury his battered career. Much more, I pray he comes out singing better songs that will help the future of the youths.

I have listened to the song several times. I can't still point out where he promoted yahoo .

the song sounds like a freestyle in my opinion

HigherEd:
Canaancity has apartments for as low as 4 million naira. Now spread 4 million over 30 years. Has the church not tried?

Why are you wasting your time explaining to this kind of people.

All they believe is that money was taken from the poor so it must be free unless it's a scam.

lilwetdick:
so how much does the average nigerian earn to be able to afford 30 years mortage. You also have to put some cash down, your age will be checked and also ur account to be qualify for mortage

Mr man massive funds were invested in those projects, so they should run at a loss or what?

if you have a decent job, you will qualify for a mortgage and I've been privy to the terms. they are very generous

instead of you to applaud excellence. you all will castigate

if you are worried about folk not being to afford a very modest amount for accommodation, you anger should be directed towards the government.
