So a journalist need run every story through government before he reports?

Is the journalist’s service to politicians or to the Nigerian populace that need be informed?

Has government come out to say the facts as shown are false and not true?

If we a to be partisan, let’s do it with common sense. I support Tinubu where I have to (not necessarily APC), but I don’t support foolishly like I am without a sense of reasoning. What is wrong is wrong.

Yes! Infact, he would report the stage be stage progressive efforts in ensuring this.

It is still poor journalism if you can make a report of which you get arrested at the end of the day. It simply means you did not make a constructive criticism with intent for development.

Constructive journalism doesn't just focus on problems, it focuses on solutions alongside the problem while incorporating multiple perspectives to providing a richer context, as well as facilitate constructive dialogue and community engagement. Such reporting are calm, even though with a critical tone, it's intent is not sensationalism.

Why do we bother electing people into office then
What exactly is their 'job'

Even if your allegations are true, that doesnt warrant arrest and detention in a so called 'democracy'

ARISHEM:
In other words they want the rot to continue. That is why they arrested him

They will charge him with demarketing the state.

"If your parents are poor, that doesn't mean you have to be poor"

The above statement cut across so many instances in this economy. I no longer bother myself with political matters, because there's nothing anyone can do. The issue has been eating the fabric of our society since its inception. I now focus on the education of those I love and endeavor to provide for their needs. I believe it is only God's kingdom that can set matters straight

Bros it matters so much because the decisions of the government can affect you and even your earning either negatively or positively. So many people have lost their source of income due to clueless government's policies

SmartPolician:
Nigerian politicians are some of the world's most shameless people. Honestly, there are many states in this country that nobody knew existed, including Kebbi.

Instead of taking the right steps to fix your state and put it on the map to attract foreign investments, you are arresting a journalist for exposing how dysfunctional the state is. The journalist should be released and compensated.

Do we even have a president?
That one that keeps flying here and there thinking he is accomplishing something but has nothing to offer,
If I was a president, I will arrest who ever arrested that journalist and sack the head of police in that district he is held in

Nigeria is a great country, i always see it in a positive light and have always been grateful for all the privilege I enjoy as a Nigerian in Nigeria.

All I said was the Journalist can still pass his message across without being arrested. Simply!

I can tell you without mincing words that the hospital will get all the attention it needs cos of what that Journalist has done. Who told you that people haven't called the attention of the Govt in that state on the state of the Hospital before?

It would, other journalist will achieve the same thing without being arrested. That is my point.

You can honestly beat your chest that all the Journalists languishing in prison didn't report well?

That's not how to do it. You do it with sense. Not in a provocative manner that will put your life in jeopardy.

Whats provocative about the footage?

Faposky95:
You think criticizing is easy or for the jobless...?!
I was in Skid Row, California and we were allowed to film it all and spoke on camera.
Even heavily criticized for helping the lot, the NGOs paid via government bared it all for our cameras to see.
Talking about Denmark.......

Criticising is very easy. That's why just about anyone can criticise. Valid critique worth consider however, requires brains, and that requires development, which requires work, which the lazy tend not to do.

Note, you were "allowed", which this journalist seems to not have been. At King's they had notices requesting feedback, but I doubt they'd have approved if I claimed to be a journalist, whereby I'd have needed to have sought permission.

Reference:
And you think the sick man lying on a bed frame cares about his privacy. If he ever gets a reprieve he will thank the journalist a million.

I don't think we know how to get out of the mess we are in this country. We continue to play games with pretentions of civility when leadership is crude, rude and outright sinister. I don't think we are ready to meet bad leadership with the kind of forcefulness required to effect any meaningful change.

Well, the sick man was not consulted by the journalist, and if he had been, he still can't give consent to film in the hospital.

I got to wonder though, what were the man's family doing? They could have filmed the man's condition to complain.

As for getting out of the mess we've put ourselves in, only we can help ourselves. Perhaps we should hold ourselves and our leaders more accountable for starts. No one is messing us but our selves.

it's you that didn't do state and capital in your primary school o
We know they exist

what are the right steps and why does he need foreign investment

You need foreign investment
He's a billionaire

You need to take the right steps
He good and the journalist is threatening his peace and bank account

Humans only care for themselves

Just as you will not do more than type here

Other ppl concerns are not yours

Politicians are just humans at the end of the day

nedu666:
See dem. Awon hold your leaders accountable. He has suddenly changed mouth. What laptop boys can't do doesn't exist

Do you have proof of him changing mouth?

KillahPriest:
there's a difference between shamelessness and wickedness and I believe wickedness is the word you wanted to use.

Picture this scenario. 1 billion naira is project cost to supply water to your state capital but your people are ignorant and easily distracted. What do you think an average Nigerian governor would do ? Spend one billion on water for his capital or share 5 million on social media influencers who will ridicule and abuse anyone who dares ask the right questions while pocketing the rest and mind you, that 5m covers every other of the governor's failings meaning multiple developmental projects worth billions of naira are washed out of your memory while moneys agree are budgeted for and released every year for eight years till the next administration. Picture this scenario on repeat since 1999 across regions

Why did influences collect the money
Why did you follow influences blindly
You get what you deserve

What crime did Julian Assange commit that made him wanted by the United States?

Julian Assange leaked state secrets, what this man reported is a public issue, an hospital used by the public, it's not classified information, state security secrets etc...Assange leaked classified files, very different.

That is where you got it all wrong. Hospitals and patients are protected by law that demands privacy and confidentiality are not bridged except authorized and not without consent.

The National Health Act mandates patient confidentiality, and taking photos without permission violates a patient's privacy rights and can lead to disciplinary action and legal consequences.

dederocs he wasn't professional about it.

It is not a crime, it is oppression to arrest him, this is oppression...his employer can sack him if the employer think he is unprofessional, but police arresting him is wrong.

Kingpele:
Is that a hospital or a torture House because i dont understand ....how a patient will be survive this kind of treatment...the money marked out for this hospital is seating in some personal pockets

Omo I was going home from work yesterday in this same kebbi, I saw one expensive turbo engine car drove past me on the other lane definitely for a child of political class, I just hv a thought within me, the more the numbers of SUV cars we see in this Kebbi , the more more the numbers of malnourish children will surge .not even knowing a video about same state is already online. A state going home with about 20B naira FAAC Allocation every month can not provide ordinary good bed in there hospital.omo Nigeria no try as a country.

Softmirror:
It all has to do with choice of words and intent.

Why are bringing up logic??
We don't need logic at this point we need credibility.
Did you watch the video
Nigeria is looping and this is not time to apply logic.

It’s sad what politics have reduced us to.

Are you aware the Mass media is the 4th arm of the realm and has a responsibility of checking government of the day? If they run stories through government that they ought check, how will they check effectively?

Around the world journalist investigate governments even getting “classified” information, but because you want to massage Kebbi state government, you’ve turned a blind eye.

I reiterate, check my record here, I support Tinubu here on many occasions but I won’t close my eyes to injustice.

He must have acted as an antagonist than a journalist.

National Health Act? Kindly cite relevant sections for proper context. Patient’s confidentiality to what extent? His records in the hospital, which? Again, please cite relevant section for proper context.

Very humbly, I am a lawyer and can engage you at this level if relevant authorities are called in aid.
