Wallade:
Did Rufai Oseni say this:

“If you could keep quiet and hear me out, you will appreciate my viewpoint.”

helinues:
Perhaps this one did not watch the particular interview.

Telling Umahi to shut up is what? Compliment?

Make una stop supporting things blindly

helinues:
He would soon detect the sinking Titanic ship

Bosman17:
Do you think Seun Okinbaloye and Kadiria Ahmed ask tough questions? I think they do without being rude, you cannot tell a minister or anyone older than you to keep quiet.

Broveens42:
Not true...
It's only unlearned minds that become aggressive when you ask for accountability.
Acquiring degrees doesn't necessarily mean you are learned in mind.

You can never see politicians like Rochas okorocha shouting at journalist when the most difficult of questions are thrown at him. He must find a way of navigating such questions by way of rhetorics, idioms, parables, comparative analysis etc, and even the likes of Hope Uzodinma; these are people we claim didn't go to school ooh

holluwizzy:
He is a pin in the neck of politicians and office holders, and there is nothing they can do to him else they will know who did it.

Meanwhile other journalist should emulate and ask questions. RUFAI and SEUN, are the most respected journalist we have, others are after brown envelope.

kayswag100:
I'm with Oseni on this one.

However, he should have the same 'confrontational' energy when interviewing folks from the other side (non APC/Obi).

Sha be fair++++

BeardedMeat:
Let them say.

Rufai Oseni is a rare breed.

Lucymercy:
[color=#006600][/color] I watched the interview and l think Rufai went a bit too far telling the Minister to keep quiet and hear him out...when he said l was a bit surprised and annoyed. As much as l love his courageous attitude and my dislike for most public officials Rufai should take it easy..there are better ways to carry out your message the "keep quiet" part don't need to come into it.

ariesbull:
typical of Ronuisms...you don't fail to showcase that quality

PigTormentor:
Same way you guys were praising FFk and Reno, worshipping them with the crap posts back then. Now they are your number one enemies.
Sooner or later, una go curse this fake journalist too
Just wait and see.
You people love to worship nonsense, is this how a professional journalist suppose to act? No decorum, bias and very uncouteous.

Lucymercy:
[color=#006600][/color] No more age cheating...so my friend don't be surprised if will are losing 7-0

ariesbull:
did you see where Umahi was insulting Rufai


I watched it also..he said he should go and learn engineering

motionarena:
Forget ooo
Some of those boys still over age

freeborn02:
That's not an insult

Did Umahi say"You are too small for me to report you to the president"? Is that also not an insult?!

Oseni also accused the minister of reporting him to the president and the minister told him that he is too small for him to report to the president. Indeed, Oseni, you and I are too small for the minister to report to the president.

Why would a sane me or Oseni think that a minister, for what ever reason, would report me or us to the President. That is making a trivial matter important.

elobrave17:
You lie because he didn't ask him to shut up. Say exactly the way he said it, don't change things to suit your argument. I watched the interview and that particular place.

Wallade:
"Our" refers to the several people who don't think Rufai Oseni was being professional, respectful and neutral with his handling of the interview session with the minister Umahi. As a journalist, you can ask delicate, incisive or difficult questions in a refined, professional and tactful manner.

Your personal opinion seems to question a lot about the project. Those questions can only be answered by the presidency or the ministry of works. I suggest you write to the ministry to request answers or more information on the strength of the freedom of information bill.

I want to think you should get a response or good information, that you seek, if your letter is well addressed, professional and carefully scripted.

Complaining to the public on nairaland and other social media platforms may be noises that doesn't get you answers. Is it just about politics or getting information?

Wallade:
You have simply expressed your personal opinion, not our opinion or general opinion.

Thanks but no thank you.

Omihanifa:
If it was babajide kolade otitoju of TVC news that interviewed Dave umahi, he would have been ass licking him up and down.

I watched his recorded interview yesterday with the akwa ibom governor, see the way baba was just using style to hero worship the governor.

Man must survive

stuffs2002:
Go back and watch the interview and see the silly questions Rufai was asking the minister.
The entire interview was not to ask the minister any reasonable questions but to provoke, annoy and insult the minister

gaskiyamagana:
Its too much of him?
Was he the only journalist in the media?
These and other questions will come from those who don't understand the meaning, interpretation and application of TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY in good and responsible government and governance.
Absence or lack of this type of press interview and interrogation is one of the factor responsible for corrupt contracts and projects of the government.

lexy2014:
did Umar Sani the author of the article say that his article is the opinion of "the several people who don't think Rufai Oseni was being professional, respectful and neutral with his handling of the interview session with the minister Umahi"?



meanwhile, you have not answered my questions:

Is there anything said the the "personal opinion" that is not true?

If there is, can you point them out and negate them?

Wallade:
You can't be justifying and rationalizing the statement. The man, Oseni, is expected to be professional and courteous.

He could have requested the minister to let him speak then the minister can also respond when he is done speaking - if he needed the minister to be quiet.

Why would a minister report me, you or Oseni to the president? Is it to have the president discipline us or to have the president recognize us.

It is rather lame and irrelevant to assume that a minister would report you, me or Oseni to the president.
