This is the reason most Fact Check done by the nation newspaper are done to favour Tinubu. Including daily trust, They are all owned/sponsored by Tinubu.

Any newspaper owned by a politician is already biased. They report what the owner wants them to report.

So where are you Mr Motivational speaker? Poor or Rich?

Even Jesus Christ said that we will always have the poor among us but that is not an excuse to stay poor for ever.

Nobody can make anyone poor, if you are poor it just means you have been outcompeted. For a start, kick out the idleness on social media , wastefulness, wrong minset , horrible company and choices you make.

Poverty in some cases are chosen by horrible choices you make and has absolutely nothing to do with village people or government.

That’s why some churn out half baked news to please their pay masters and smite their master’s opponents with glaring lies.

News are no longer presented as it ought to be but reeks of sycophancy.

Baba I don't know who owns Telegraph but Guardian newspaper is owned by Alex Ibru, brother to late Felix Ibru, the first civilian Governor of Delta State. Guardian Newspaper is now a family heritance.

Please, if we are discussing media outfits, it is improper for you to mention Gazette and Sowore. What those ones are into is called blogging.
