TO REDUCE FAKE NEWS DRASTICALLY IN NIGERIA KINDLY TAKE THIS TO MR PRESIDENT


Dear Muhammadu Buhari,


 One of the best ways fake news can be obliterated in Nigeria is for the Federal government to work with Google to ban Google AdSense on every online news media in the country.


These news sites/blogs have sold out their media integrity to sensational news headlines and fake contents just to pull crazy traffics on their website. 


An illustrious online news platform can can make about $120,000 on a single fake news with sensational headlines that attract a traffic of over two million visitors in a week. You may calculate how much the wayward media house would make if they publish three fake news in a month with atractive headlines.


This could be more if the visitors interact with the adsense displayed on the fake news content.


Publishing fake news is more of a big business in Nigeria today. The stunts claming media houses in Nigeria, using fake news to promote terrorism and violence in our country are heavily benefitting monetarily from it through their websites and blogs.


You may not need to ask further questions on why some media houses preffer to publish violent stories in one region and maintain criminal silence in another. Journalism with integrity is long dead in Nigeria. What we have now is stictly media business at the detriment of the Nation's security, peacefulness and safety.


I don't know how this can get to the President. But I humbly think it does.
