Good morning.

These are indeed very interesting times.

For those of us that might have spent some time on the internet and Nairaland, surfing to keep abreast with the latest developments, especially as they relate to politics, the news portal "thebreakingtimes.com" only barged its way into our consciousness just a couple of weeks ago with her libellous story about the "President's N2Billion Asokoro Mansion" (www.thebreakingtimes.com/exposed-president-buharis-n2-1-billion-asokoro-mansion/) , a story that has since been proven to be anything but true (newsdiaryonline.com/gen_ejected.htm).

Now, we all agree propaganda plays a critical role in every government the world over. The government uses it, ditto the opposition, to advance their agenda. Quite frankly, a government or opposition can hardly survive without it. Not all propaganda are destructive as most people tend to think, some are actually genuinely for the public good. To buttress this point, I had to look to wiki:


There is no gainsaying PDP as a party nurses an ambition to retake Aso Rock from APC, but in so doing, it is important that they demonstrated a bit of decorum and grace.

Thebreakingtimes, from my checks, was founded in september 2014 and had their first publication in october of the same year. First, the timing of its birth is suspect, and even more so, its distinctively destructive publications.

Some folks might want to shut readers critical of their publications up, pointing to Sahara Reporters and, perhaps, Premium Times. They argue both newspapers are operated under the thumb of APC.

Saharareporters.com has over 5,000 publications since it was founded (2006), has been supported by donors such as Ford Foundation and Omidyar Foundation to stay afloat. It's been referred to as the "Nigerian wikileaks" by the reputable tabloid, Daily Beast, and her publications have received reviews and criticism from notable Nigerians such as Soyinka and VIPs like Chris Olukolade, Obanikoro, a Zimbabwean Minister. Hell, even the spokesman of PDP, Olisa Metuh, once called them taking a swipe at former President Jonathan!!

They've published countless number of articles highly critical of government and the opposition. On this forum, we've had numerous pro PDP posters post anti-APC articles published by them, but they still hypocritically insist the media is being bankrolled by the opposition. Funny huh?

Like Sahara Reporters, like Premium Times. They have editors with names and contacts, but when you visit the "about" page of thebreakingtimes, you find absolutely nothing as regards the owners, editors, or publishers, just some pedestrian balderdash about their mission statement and all that.

Some people have said it is run by some aide to Obanikoro with the twitter handle "xyz", but we have NO NAMES on them. If one were to file a case of libel against them, who does one sue??

What these guys are doing is simply not propaganda, it is sheer blackmail and slander. After seeing their latest story brought to the forum by some PDP supporter regarding the VP being shut out of a security meeting second time in a row, I decided to take a stroll to the site and what I saw made my guts twist in disgust. What man with a soul and conscience does things like this?? I understand we live in a democracy and should uphold its principles which includes the freedom of expression, but come on... This is an outrage!

I read somewhere the immediate past Deputy Speaker of the House, Ihedioha, admonished that PDP used everything in its power to bring APC and the government to her knees, including using tools such as "propaganda and blackmail". Is this PDP doing so via thebreakingtimes

As time goes by, and as events unfold, I'm hopeful some of us would see this government for what it truly stands for- our collective good- and join hands with our fellow compatriots to give her the support she needs in succeeding. Seun, Lalasticlala and other stakeholders have a role to play in this regard especially as regards the coverage given to news coming from this source (thebreakingtimes). We must understand that we would be the ones holding the hot end of the rod in an event the government fails- God forbid.

God help us all.

Long live Nigeria.

Damn thoughtless stooge.

Is Nigeria the only developing country on earth? The ''advanced world'' makes up only 20% of the entire global population. Most nations are in development and it is nothing to beat us up about, or be ashamed about. So please spare us your ignorant crap and garbage.

And YES, Sahara Reporters are there to MISINFORM, DEPRESS, EXAGGERATE, LIE, AND BESMIRCH the Nigerian nation and govts.

''Sahara Reporters is supported by grants donated by the Ford Foundation which has donated $175,000 to the organization over the past two years. Sahara Reporters has also received a $450,000 grant from The Omidyar Foundation (owned by the founder of Ebay).[2][3]''

Do you know anything about the Ford Foundation?

Do you really think the Ford Foundation wants to see a better, more prosperous Nigeria?

Why do you think they are sponsoring Sahara Reporters?


Olodo. This was the same way the oyibos deceived your ancestors and got them to hand over their lands to them. ''Ah.. we love you. We want to protect you. Let's form a Protectorate! That way all your enemies cannot invade you!'' Before you know it, you've signed away your territory to them. Same trick. Different angle. Today they've come with Sahara reporters. Same trick: We love you. We hate your corrupt leaders. Let's show a different way! Intent: To destroy your country, scatter your resources, break your spirit, perhaps initiate a war etc. But like your naive ancestors, you are deceived by their pretence to care about you. When will you start to use your brain?? The minute you see 'Ford Foundation' next to 'Sahara Reporters' it should ring all sorts of alarm bells in your head.

davitogreat:
your not far of the off the mark in regards to their funding. Sahara reporters is actually funded by the ford foundation. The ford foundation has been accused of working with the united states govt and the CIA in the past. Their other source of funding is the Omidyar group. Its another organisation run by french billionaire Pierre Omidyar.

Earlier today I read a post where Investigative Journalist David Hundeyin made an eye opening revelation that Omoyele Sowore works for Tinubu and is also Funded By the US Government via Sahara Reporters.

https://www.nairaland.com/8424516/sowore-works-tinubu-funded-us

I did my research and it turned out to be true, Sahara Reporters is indeed funded by an American foundation, Ford Foundation have been paying Sahara Reporters since 2009, a total of $975,000 have been paid to Omoyele Sowore's Sahara Reporters. See below proof:

https://www.fordfoundation.org/work/our-grants/awarded-grants/grants-database/?search=Sahara+Reporters+

You might also want to read President Fords proposal for Foreign Intelligence gathering in the disguise of a global foundation setup, this was written in 1976 and is still in the CIA achieve, see link below:

https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP88-01314R000100660021-0.pdf

Omoyele Sowore is an American puppet and snitch planted by the American government to gather Nigeria's intelligence for them, forget all that "Revolution" bullcrap, forget the aluta continua hullabaloo, forget all that yellow berret protests and all the wuruwuru that comes with it, Omoyele Sowore CANNOT be trusted. He is not fighting for Nigeria or Nigerians but selfishly fighting for his pocket.

A Cashivist that can gladly stab you at the back.

You guys are funny. The Ford Foundation is an American NGO. If they like what Sowore and SaharaReporters are doing, and choose to fund them through grants and donations, there's nothing wrong with that.

Sowore has been agitating for a better Nigeria for over 30 years, back in the days of the military. He has been arrested multiple times, detained, tortured and charged to court. No be today


His SaharaReporters has exposed countless corrupt government officials and politicians

So coming here that he has been supported by an American NGO really holds no water

Kemetian:
Please, when was Sowore “tortured”?

Care to share the details?

We know enough about the Ford Foundation to know it’s an imperialist tool.

You claim to be so sensible, so why are you so naïve about groups like that?

Or it’s only inside Nigeria you have sense?
