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

MsAllison:
but omenka will you say the same thing if it was buhari the question was directed to?

HardTalk? We go laff tire that day, because those guys ehn. Watched a video of a hardtalk show with Roger Waters (not sure if you know him) the questions were quite disturbing but still the guy answered without much temper.

A BIG HAMMER TO #FFK'S COFFIN FROM VETERAN JOURNALIST Asaju Tunde

-----------------------------------------------------------
I can share my column later. This Can't Wait
By Asaju Tunde
-----------------------------------------------------------

As a journalist, I am simply outraged; first to read the views of my chairman, Emmanuel Ogbeche and later to see the clip of my dear sister, Ruona J. Meyer on events in Calabar. It's still early in Ottawa and I need to take it easy today so that I don't transfer my aggression on others (including members of my own family). But I am totally miffed!

I mean, this is an assault on journalism. Journalism is a noble profession. A profession that have rules. A profession that is practiced by the best of the world - yes (subtract me). Canada's Deputy Prime Minister is a journalist! The founding fathers of Nigeria - Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe were journalists!

I am disturbed and totally angry that a rabble rouser, a lickspittle, an abysmally corrupt, inept and uncouth Femi Fani-Kayode would insult a journalist the way he just did and get away with it. I am totally angry that this idiot of no compare would exhibit his madness on a halpless journalist who was only holding him accountable to the ideals he wants to be credited with, but which he lacks both in character and comportment.

But above all, I am totally disturbed, that colleagues who were present did not see this as assault on their profession, on their own integrity and on their noble profession - they were nodding heads and apologizing like agama lizards that they all are.

I am disturbed that a tv station even uploaded it with a caption that FFK reacts to a rude journalist! I am shocked that this is happening in 2020. I mean, Donald Trump has done worse to journalists, but he has also received worse. No journalist worth his calling and training should be insulted like that by a fraud! FFK is a fraud! I say so!

I think the NUJ should not let this lie low. If it does, it would have created a precedent and who knows what happens next. Maybe he would assault a journalist because he is a lawyer...there are lawyers in our profession too. Chuks Ohuegbe is a lawyer, Shareef Mohammed is a lawyer, Mohammed Adamu is a lawyer and there are many more. Sir Richard Akinola II is a respectable lawyer with a veritable source of income and a mileage of philanthropy that Fani Kayode would never reach in seven lifetimes, he is a journalist. Need I mention more?

Fani Kayode has no known job. He has never been known to have won a single case anywhere in life. His record of mental health issues is well known. Here is a man who has no decency or decorum. Here is a man who attacks everything that moves. Here is a man who kisses and tells...that is the lowest of the low. Here is a man who is hiding under judicial privileges to escape justice for corruption. Which of the journalists he denigrates carries this plethora or evil resume? None!

Yes, maybe people collect brown envelopes. But if there are no givers, there would be no takers? What are those giving brown envelopes trying to hide? That is also an issue, not that I support inducing journalists.

I am interested in what happened after this press conference. I'll be monitoring how his threat to report the journalist to Daily Trust would be resolved. I am waiting for the official reaction of the Daily Trust Management to this assault on their reporter. A news organization is as good as how it allows idiots treat its reporters.

Fani Kayode must be told in no unclear terms that he has no integrity to protect. He should go and clear his case before the courts with evidence. If he was picked up and detained, it would not have been for telling truth to power - it would have been for hate speech that he spews out daily; and it must have been for his shameful record in public office. FFK has no integrity to protect. We are all witnesses to his record in service, his dodgy lifestyle.

No journalist should endure insult from anyone. If you ask a question, you want answers. If people are not ready to give answers, they are free to walk away, but assault and insults does NOT come with the profession. No colleague must stand by and watch his comrade denigrated the way FFK has done to the Daily Trust reporter.

NUJ must investigate this. What happened before the question? What happened after the press conference and if people are known to (as would probably be) have egged on this demented idiot in his tirade just because of the brown envelope that comes after the deal, then, something must be done.

We must save journalism from charlatans and from political jobbers who want to hide under one finger. This assault on my profession by people of doubtful character MUST STOP.

The question asked by the journalist was insulting and he deserved everything he got. If you want to grill a politician, do so with available information whether right or wrong so that they can react. You don't go asking someone who bankrolled his trip around the South south.

light099:
Cut the crap. Stop sounding like a sycophantic asslicker, all in the name of whatever.
FFK overreacted and that makes him look not so different from the people he criticizes. The verbal attack on the journalist was way too much.
For the record, majority of you guys in Politics section are zombies. Even though you divided yourselves into two, where one side regard the other as zombies, but all I see is zombies and sophisticated zombies. Most of you are always bias in your judgment, always defending crap or twisting the truth.

It's very easy to become a zombie, that is why, while I'm religious, I also allow elements of freethinking, so as not to become a victim of cheap brainwashing. While I support a party, I try to be realistic so as not to end up a zombie.
Being a zombie tarnishes sound intelligence and most people won't count on your judgment since it's very much predictable.
We can't help being bias once in a while, but it doesn't mean one turns to a cheap zombie on every trivial matter.

By the way, the OBJ this FFK is trying to compare himself with wouldn't likely create a long scene of childish display and intolerance FFK created. FFK already turned it to a war of verbal assault on the journalist, plus the petty display of ego and lack of self control.

[s]I Didn't see where he wished anyone Death..

Anyway, Death is one Appointment that Could Hit anyone and at anytime..

Young, Old, Rich , Poor, baby,etc

Anyone can be taken away Anyday..

Gone are the days we Fear Death!

Never Ever Fear Death! This Earth is not our Home.
We all are only Here for Rehearsal Exercise for Eternity..

What Should be your Major Concern is to Ensure that in all you Do Here on Earth, you are Prepared For Eternity..

Eternity is the KOKO! Let no one Confuse or Deceive you! There is Life after Death..

The Question is How do I Prepare for Eternity?
Ensure you Have Accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior.
Ensure you are Living in Holiness, Purity, Righteousness and Uprightness..
Stay away From Wordliness, Ungodliness, Wickedness, Abominations, in any Shape , Size or Form..

Anyday or Time you are Called Home, U open Your eyes in Glory, Splendor, Beauty, Honor and Joy Forevermore

May God Almighty Comfort the Family of the Young Man..

I have been open minded about FFK for a long time but this method of answering is everything wrong with Nigeria right there.

This is a a democratic period in Nigeria and a seasoned democrat would have answered that question or any question for that matter with tact and intelligence. Sadly he acted like any poor simple thinking tout politician, with aggressive arrogance. No class at all!

I had always thought he was urbane but alas I was dead wrong.

I am HUGELY disappointed in him and by extension all politicians in Nigeria. If someone who claims to be cultured and urbane can be this classless and tasteless then this gives you an accurate insight into why Nigeria is messed up and will never work with the kind of people we have in politics today. All puffery and no substance or intelligence.

yoruba people are generally like that...with their oblong heads

Bluntemperor:
So what is the annoyance with this man!
So Journalists in anywhere in the World-including America Trump do ask even the most dangerous questions! why the vituperation by Fani-Kayode?.So Buhari,that you opposition have lambasted in uncountable times must be a gentle dove then! Why reporting the Journalist to the publisher? You claim to be a Politician,yet you can't stomach just an enquiry? Yet you want us to believe that you are a leader? Something is wrong with our leadership foundation.Tufiaka!
