buhari is a bully. i ve alwayz knw dat

major466:
Pls bear with me if you find my writeup a bit disorganized. My tablet is yet to arive so am using a small phone to write this piece to express maself about recent development. Thanks for understanding.



I was thrown into a deep shock when i read in the news that President elect, M. Buhari bared media house AIT from covering his activities. Though i wasnt surprised by his action, i was surprise because he's already showing the true nature we knew he was even before swearing in. What sort of democrat bar a media house from covering public activities? Does he think the office of President is he's private property? Who does he think he is? A king? Does he know the meaning of a public servant? Maybe not. Why he's semi illitrate, if not he would have understood that in democracy, the office of the president is not only accountable to the people but also to the Press. That is why freedom of the Press is one of the shining lights of democracy as a form of govenment.



This singular act by Buhari to bar a media organization from covering his activities as president elect just comfirm that he's still the same old dictator that he was 32 years ago. A liar who lied to the world in Chatam house that he was a democrat, banning a media house from covering his activities because of a documentary? Very childish and imature indeed! Does he know what democracy is all about? If he feels pained by a documentary then he has no business in politics.



I remember vividly during the US presidential campaign of 2008 when Fox News network castigated Obama to a point of no return. They made fun of him, ridicule him, called him monkey, fueled his birth certificate issues to the extend that almost got most Americans asking questions about his true country of birth. In the end he had to surrender his birth certificate to the press (unlike Buhari and his school certificate mess). It was a scandal. Plus the many other systematic attacks against his candidacy. Fox news people are racist. Those of you who watched that channel during and after the Presidential campaigns will know what am talking about. But ever since Barack Obama won the Presidency of the United States, not ones did Obama vent out his anger to revenge against fox news. Why? Because he understood the principles of democracy. As a private individual no media house will bother you. But as soon as you become a politician, the eyes of the press makes a microscopic look at your personality. The media will not only scrutinize your past but will also go way back in time to study your childhood background. Any shocking revelation will be brought to the public front. That is the way it is in democracy especially in advance societies like USA. Even our dear GEJ was not speared from the hard scrutinizing lens of the press, sometimes personal and insulting attacks against him. Did he ever vent out his anger by baring them from covering his activities? No. Why? Because he like Obama understood the principles of Democracy. He understood that press freedom is paramount in democracy. Thats why Nigerians of all ages can express themselves freely without fear of being arrested. This is the beauty of Democracy and freedom. For Buhari to lower himself like a child who got his azz kicked by his cousin to trample upon Freedom of Press shows that he's nothing but thesame old dictator in civilian clothes.
Just like someone said, like OBJ like Buhari. Both dictators in civilian clothing.

BTW, I hear many Buhari followers giving excuses that he has the right to bar AIT citing privacy as reasons. Sure i completely agree that every individual on the planet deserves the right to privacy. That ofcouse is a fundamental human right. But they however failed to note that as soon as an individual becomes a public official in the position of a President elect, privacy becomes a secondary issue. Infact privacy is not an excuss to bar a media organization from performing its function by investigating Buhari's activites as president elect.

Sorry, not tribalism, but Igbos are trying so hard to find a fault from buhari. Why? He will assume his duty in may why in hurry? For now he have every right to his privacy.

With him 'acting' president even before he's sworn in, I think he's lost the right to privacy. One cannot say the truth again on NL, he has to be Igbo abi? na wa o.

Wen I said Nigeria is gone , many were casting n binding me.

its almost time.

Haters go and die

nothing like haters.Truth be told d ban was uncalled for.

That's is big shame on you the writer & the ediot AIT I think some people nee proper screnning before they come & be posting rubbish thinx here with ur p2 tecno phone wey ur step father dash u, what BUhari did was ok let AIT & you go to blazzes!

What's he talking about Let me just assume u forget some part of media right, how do you relate AIT false documentary aired during campaign? Well, well, for me I call it "media propaganda at the same time a "blackmail" which am sure u know its against the rules and regulations of NBC. In normal circumstance the station ar suppose to be temporarily ban for a breach of NBC law.

To refresh the OP's memory, can anyone post the link to the video AIT aired.

All the videos would be appreciated.

After which I would substitute the name "Buhari" with the OP's name and any other TANoid to see if they like it.

The president you worshipped has accepted defeat and moved on with life, why can't you? How do you sleep at night with so much beef?

Even if Buhari implements 30% tax for everyone, if it's for a better Nigeria, I would pay it

I cant just laugh enof. Is an independent AIT a media house or PDP media house? Can we call it a one man business that does not know what it means to be in that sector? Pls push that AIT aside. Is Channels not in the same Nigeria with AIT? What of Silverbird? Is it not in the same country we have MITV and co. You dont eat your cake and still have it. If I say i dont want a called media house to cover my event, how does that become and head-ache to others. I know certainly AIT will pay dearly for their unprofessionalism during that campaign era. Sorry i cant even remember that last time i tuned to that channel.

adconline:

Yes, idiot! He has been on Bill O'Reily a couple of times! Fox News crew is also represented in WH Press Team

I mean a private interview to Fox news.

And when did Defence house become Aso Rock? He simply told then to stay away from him and family for security reasons. You want to wait until his security team say they are trying to kill him before you get the idea?

And please learn tl be civil with your relies. The fact that you are so quick to insults says a lot about you.

Have a great day

GMB family are not comfortable with AIT reporters that is a very good & sensitive observation..since AIT has chosen to be a willing tool in the hand of PDP for campaign of hatred the family members are very right to suspect them. They can be a willing tool in the hand of the enemy. We must guard & protect the first elected family very jealously because this people have proven to be untwist worthy . Every other sentimental commentary to this instruction is diversionary from the truth. The General is a military man & he knows more on security matters than we civilians ,please leave him alone to handle his private and personal life as he wishes. There are countries in Africa whose presidents are being guarded by foreign security personnel because domestic national security are not trust worthy. This is the realm we have found ourselves in African. Freedom of speech should not be abused in life. That is just the simple truth. The fact that you are free to express your mind does not translate to assassinate people's character in the public without restrain. We must tell ourself the simple truth.

You are indeed very stupîd for mentioning Igbos here. How did you know the writer is an Igbo guy? or you are just being senseless? Somebody raised a very pertinent topic that every Nigerian should be interested in, you are here being foolishly tribalistic ...and pls it's he has every right, not he have every right.

Some pple will never see anything good in Buhari,those are the pple who doesn't want this nation to progress.I have only one prayer God Almighty should give baba that strength and courage to deliver on all his promises.

Signs of dictatorship

Hehe...so it can be so painful like this. Yeye tv station and the staffs except for the likes of Ambros shomide and baba gboin. Infact AIT's account need to be audited,Dokpesi,Arumei of arik,otedola,dangote,etc are all instruments of pdp.Trace their accounts and you'll see how pdp siphon oil money into it.God punish them allllllllll

You mean Ban NTA tooo?
Buhari should come out and disprove those allegations , that's what a true democrat was supposed to do.
#BabaOneChance the documentary helped us to know the real buhari, His past can't just be swept under the carpet.

You are so correct.

The clueless one always remains clueless.

I remember your "GEJ TILL 2019".

how market?

@Post,

This is indeed an era of puerile, childish and immature opposition under PDP. So sad how the mighty have fallen.

Imagine begging someone you loathe, received gratification against, got sanctioned because of, and hate so much to cover his private event at his residence without an apology on your past shameful and below par conduct. Chai, serious lesson to learn.

From May 29, the President elect will become a public official. For now, AIT should move all their crew to cover the incumbent President GEJ and his deserted kingdom.!

Is this the best your brain could come up with? Haters go and die? This is so shameful! Smh!

omenka:
You are a shameless liar. Can you show us where Fox called Obama a "Monkey" as you wrote up there?? Did you even watch the shameless documentaries replete with barefaced lies that were being aired by AIT?? How come AIT was the only one doing that?? Even the State Tv didn't descend so low. If AIT was so professional, why were they sanctioned by NBC?? Why didn't you scream NBC was trying to stifle press freedom??

Shock indeed. You've not even seen nothing. I hope and pray Baba takes them to court to present proof of all they said he did, including being a sponsor of Boko Haram.

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for you to show us where Fox called Obama a monkey.

point out doz lies ait said about gmb

They should keep enjoying the money they were paid by PDP while it last, this is just the beginning.

Other TV stations take note.


No atom of professionalism, they abandoned the ethics of journalism.

What a man sow, He shall reap. When a man sold his conscience with money, He is not far from doom.

Let's enjoy d dictator 4 d next 4 yrs. Haaters shud hug transformer

You are a sow looser,pls stop all dis your cry..when AIT was busy damaging GMB name,where was you??Greatest Revenge is to achieve success..it pay back time,let GMB revenge!!I am really happy abt what he did

Ezemust:

Oga, where did Fox call Obama a monkey??
If they now take you on, demanding that you showed them the point at which they called him a monkey, what would you do? ; probably run to the internet and scream they are infringing on your freedom of expression I presume.

This is how you people go about spreading falsehood and blatant lies just to defend an atrocity.

What a shame.
