Is The Federal Government Now Paying Bloggers To Fabricate News Stories? by urnaijadotcom(op): 12:17pm On Feb 14, 2015
A very popular Nigerian blog posted the picture below and the caption underneath the picture read, “This is from UK Metro newspaper, and according to the paper, the Nigeria economy is set to overtake UK Economy given current growth rate. Read article here”.

Everything about the story is a fabrication, a lie!

This is link to the story: http://lindaikeji..co.uk/2015/02/nigeria-climbs-up-wealth-list.html

Firstly, the Metro newspaper did not publish any such story. We have checked Metro’s archive and did not find the aforementioned story anywhere.

If the blogger is so certain that the picture was taken from the Metro, the exact date of the edition and page should be supplied, please.

Secondly, readers were referred to an article, not in the Metro (surely not) but to another blog, which has all the semblance of a government propaganda blog.

It now gets more bizarre! In the other blog referred to, a graph was published showing the projected growth of national economies by 2050. According to the graph (below) by 2050 Nigeria’s economy would be the 13th biggest in the world and UK’s economy 10th.

The graph published does not even show that Nigeria’s economy will be bigger than the UK’s economy by 2050, so where on earth did this popular Nigerian blogger get the story from?

OP u be learner ni?
Na now u know? They are all over the place, even on NL.
Remember when Northern Pastors openly endorsed GMB and it was shown on TV for everyone to see. Before u know it, a thread was created to counter it and said GMB paid the pastors. Even the fabrication of the story was very funny.
Same way they paid @CNNmoney to tell us lies that Nigeria is the fastest growing economy in Africa. Yet, people are getting poorer and their pple getting richer.
Same way PwC manipulated report for Nigerians.
U see, PDP is gone, but they just want to play with the mind of few Nigerians that are ready to be manipulated.
Bros na end time things for PDP ooo.
N.B: I don't reply myopic mentions.
