Kperogi the usual noise maker from Atlanta. While I don't support the blatant impunity of this administration, It becomes necessary to repress the voice of banditry just like Kadaria emphasized.

While Kperogi airs propaganda from the streets of Atlanta, Kadaria participated in many campaign against banditry in her home state of Zamfara. She voiced out knowing fully that she is stepping on toes.
As per terrodia is concerned, she is right.

Can you negate the points raised by kperoogi?

How does one "repress the voice of banditry just like Kadaria emphasized"?

What has the govt done to deal with this banditry issue all this while?

mach7:
This Farooq Kperogi of a guy will just sit abroad and be writing what does not profit us.

Kadaria Ahmed was on Arise TV sometime this week and she clearly explained her reasons for condemning the documentary.

None of the Western countries which we are so quick to praise will ever allow their domestic terrorists any form of airtime or promote them in any way. What did we gain from watching the documentary? That bandits are powerful? That the bandits cum terrorists are making a lot money from their evil activities? That Fulanis & Hausas are fighting each other? What exactly in that documentary is meant to help us as citizens overcome the menace of these bandits/terrorists? What was in that documentary that could help us heal from the scourge that they have brought on our land?

Focus should always be on the victims and how they are struggling to cope through the situation and never on the terrorists who gloat when they are the focus of attention.

But then trust my fellow Nigerian youths not to reason things properly. They all went online to start insulting the women and tagging her a "lover of terrorists".

It is just sad.

P.S. If Oga Farooq is such a press freedom advocate, let him as a Nigerian journalist write articles or present a documentary on school shootings in the US and focus on the perpetrators instead of the victims. Let's see if they won't revoke his visa and sent him back to Nigeria on the first available flight.

We gained a lot of truths from that documentary

1) yes that they bandits are powerful and they are fellow Nigerians not foreigners from Mali as federal government said
2) that government is paying them anytime they kidnap people not the other way round which government has denied payment of ransom
3) yes that the Hausa Farmers and Fulani herdsmen are fighting each other cause of territories
4) in the documentary those bandits clearly stated why they are doing what they are doing and if the government cares about this country they will take steps to look into it and solve the problem instead of just given the Nigerian citizens false hope that they are doing something about it when it's clear they are funding this bandits


Every Nigerian is a potential victim including those who left their farms and cattle to fight for themselves , so even the bandits are victims

mach7:
Do you know that in Israel, you cannot report on terrorism or counterterrorism stories without first clearing it with the military?

Don't promote terrorists. If they carry out any terrorists acts, focus more on the victims and the efforts the government is putting in place to stop them. That is what repressing means. Still in the same line, do you know that immediately after the Guards brigade was attacked and 6 soldiers were killed, the military immediately countered and killed about 30 terrorists in the Bwari forest? It was only The Cable that I recall carrying that news. Why couldn't our mainstream media promote the fact our military are also trying and sometimes dying in this fight?

Why the constant to always churn out headlines that are meant to instigate fear? WHY?

mach7:
And what makes you think that what the bandits said is the ultimate truth? I hope you realize that the aim of the bandits/terrorist is to destabilise the government and sow panic. Remove your bias against the government and re-analyze the situation again.

lexy2014:
So what has the govt done all these years to prevent bandits from destabilizing it?

What exactly was said by the bandits that isn't true as itemised by jimyjames who you responded to?

Are the bandits ghosts? Does the govt not know where they are?

jimyjames:
The bandits don't need to lie to the press to destabilize the government and sow panic, cause they have successfully done that without the press , so what are you talking about? Is the kidnappings, killings and destructions carried out in the North on daily basis a lie?

It's rather evil and wicked for the government to keep lying to its citizens that such things don't exist when they do, and innocent people are paying the price everyday, covering up the bandits by the government won't let it go away

If the press doesn't report what the terrorists do, how will you know? Furthermore, did I claim that kidnappings and killings done by terrorists is a lie? Because I never said so, neither did I imply such. See, I will summarize by saying that you are entitled to your opinion if you are not getting the points I raised.

eaglechild:
I saw the interview of Kadaria on Arise TV condemning the BBC documentary on Zamfara terrorist warlords and despite trying my best I just couldn't see her side of the story.

She says the documentary "glamouralizes" terrorist warlords and that's why she is against it.
She also says that the government knows where the terrorist are and the documentary does not serve an accessory purpose of exposing them.
Which then paints the picture that the government is looking the other way.

Lai on the other has a knee jerk reflex of covering incompetence with fines/stifling the media he should be protecting.

jimyjames:
Then why attack the press for doing their job?

I know why they are against that documentary, the main reason they are against that documentary is because it has exposed a weakness of northern unity that we were made to believe was untouchable,
they can't just accept the fact that Fulanis and the Hausa's are now turning their guns at each other, and even if they accept, they don't want the rest of Nigerians to know this weakness cause the South might take advantage of it just like they themselves have taken advantage of the southern political disunity

mach7:
You are not getting my point.

Scenario 1: Terrorists have attacked ABC village, 3 were killed but the military is currently hunting the terrorists and have assured that they will be dealt with. Our correspondent is currently at the hospital where the injured persons are being treated. Those killed were two men and a woman. The State Governor has promised to cover the hospital bills, while assuring residents that all is being made to keep them secure.

Scenario 2: Terrorists have attacked ABC village, 3 persons were killed and the entire village is in panic with people running helter-skelter. The military are currently trying to engage the terrorists, but considering that 6 soldiers were killed last week, we are not sure they will be successful. The terrorists are becoming more and more bolder by the day, and very soon they will overrun the entire LGA and maybe even take over the state. People are evening considering self help, there is disaster everywhere.

Please out of the 2 scenarios, which kind of reporting is better for the society?

My point is that the press should not magnify or glorify the situation as it is not hopeless. We are in the fight together as Nigerians and the pressmen and presswomen are Nigerians too.

If you still don't get my point then....I give up.
