What happened to Android Truecaller app? That tiny android mobile app can save your life. With it, not even a scammer can get you. A professional working like a child!

The blame is on the house, what happened to their editorial board.

When a reporter brings a news or feature it the job of the editorial team to verify and cross check the news.

This story sound like cock and bull. If the story is indeed true, the journalist has further indicted himself for incompetence.

He should have been sacked on account of stupidity alone.

That journalist is now the President!

How?

Your own cup of coffee.

Forwetinnah:


I don't need to compare..i knew something like this would come up since the Sagay in question already denied the interview. The APC is known to eat it's vomit..does that hogwash sound convincing to you? Someone definitely put him up to it to save face. No one can come up with an interview of a prominent member in Booooohari's shady change movie if it wasn't true to start with. That guy has been intimidated!! That's what they do..they're all over the cyber space threatening and blackmailing people,

I admit that its possible there's some behind the scene twist, but isn't it also possible it was an honest mistake?

Nobody is claiming Prof. Sagay actually granted the interview, the Journalist involved has admitted he erred on his job,

Shouldn't we accept his honest explanation and move on? why go back and forth about something that's been cleared already by all parties involved?

About the journalist being blackmailed, do you have proof?

Does it make any sense that Prof. Sagay grants the interview that he knows will be published and still goes back to blackmail the journalist to clear his name? you seriously think any sane man with his balls intact has that time?

I understand that you are not a fan of this administration, and that probably explains why you think the way you do.

But its fine, there's freedom of speech, and your views are always welcome.

I don't want to believe this guy passed his final exam before leaving college.
1. He communicate with someone fir a year and couldn't tell his identity
2. He chatted you on whatsapp for a year and not his picture was uploaded
3. He invited someone he never knew or meet as special guest to his wedding yet his absent never tell anything to him as a journalist
4. How common a mistaken random number was so intelligent and smart to impersonate a renown professor of law
5. Professor sagay is a wide experince lawer which means in their conversation he must have talked with experience since he the interviewer was seeking the opinion of the Prof which the impersonator even if he his a lawer can not have and he could not smell a rate smelling.
6. He can actually get the identity of the impersonator since every sim is registered but still he refuse to do that before seeking cheap sympathy from the public
This makes me conclude that this journalist is dump irresponsible and unqualified to be a journalist.

Dis is a very expensive mistake

It's not a mistake. It's ignorant, selfishness, quest to be on top and greed. He was so eager to be identified with a big name personality that he threw every caution under the wind and forget every journalism ethics. The fact that he invited a person he never met to such a private event as his wedding says it all.

This is the sort of attitude that make Nigeria what it became, belittling every thing that happens. Nothing shock Nigerians, every thing is brush under the carpet instantly and wait for another.

This is the kind of confession u hear in a fake pastor's crusade.
I was on the way to kill pastor. Then i say a light and d light was shinning and i fell and i stood up and i enter the church and fire was burning me and and ........

Mr journalist tell us the truth. This confession get K' Leg

You're funny laughing my a$$ off
You took me right back to childhood - listening to "engaging" testimonies and confession that can rival any Bollywood drama.

Just so you know, all pastors are fake LOL

Regarding the reporter, he could be telling the truth or just digging a deeper hole for himself.
I think he should publish the audio recordings.

The most curious aspect of this his story which makes me not to believe it is how a random mistake in a phone no will lead him to an impersonator who is also learned in law and not to a tomato seller or poor civil servant or a jambite.

u harsh oo

omostar:
I somehow don't believe his narrative. How plausible is it for a random wrong number to turn out to be that of an impersonator.

And the random wrong number to be an erudite professor of law discussing legal issues without blinking an eye!

Rotflmao!! Bad guy. You too sabi the format.

omostar:

You are right!

And what will an impersonator gain by granting an interview about something he knows nothing about and even if the impersonator does, based on your experience as a journalist, you should know from his response!

It is just like saying that someone like Dangote and I have phone numbers which are almost similar but have a digit difference and you call me to interview me on the possible implications that the new cement factory Dangote opened in Tanzania will have on Tanzania's economy....even if i am smart to give a layman's view, at some point, other remarks which only Dangote and his close company associates would give which i am ignorant of and fail to provide will surely give me away!

Abeg, the guy is not saying the truth! All these journalists?? FEAR THEM O! They are more dangerous than DSS Officials!

Hmm. ur hate for the presidnt and ur anxiousness in publishing an interview FULL of critic by sm1 u purpotedly knwn to be one of d prsidnt's right hand left ur journalism carrear in jeopardy.. i pray u get anoda job very soon to take care of d new bride.

Maybe something else is behind d scene

ddippset:
I think the journalist is overzealous, over ambitious and 'over stup1d' you interviewed a man as renowned and revered as professor sagay on the phone and you never thought it wise to see him in person to crosscheck, fine. Then the person on the phone who is supposed to be very close to president Buhari started speaking ill of buhari and against buhari still it didn't occur to you to verify this person. Your nostrils must be too tiny not to smell a rat at that point! It's just like interviewing someone on the phone who claims to be Rotimi amaechi and he's critisizing buhari. Wouldn't you meet him in person to be sure of what your ears are hearing? Instead you ran off to publish. I feel sad and Sorry for the repórter. It's either he didn't fully realize the consequences of his actions or he's dumb.

Blame it on honeymoon ..., he wasn't actually thinking straight, his attention was obviously divided....

Letting him know he shouldn't allow hate for the current administration override his sense of judgment? Is that the attitude you were referring to? I do not think so


Did you go through his first post? You should go through it again.

Forwetinnah:
I SAID IT!! APC FRAAAAAUD!! THEY TALK AND DISCREDIT.
Lie Mohammed says one thing...Booooohari
discredits the next day.
Adesina Acknowledges an
information...Booooohari denies it the next
minute
Bunch of hypocritical phoooools running this
country down the pit of hell. May Volcanic Lava
pour on their heads!!

He only jumped on the opportunity to show his hatred for this administration and he did a very very bad job.


There's room for doubt and investigation, but if you cannot back your claims, hold your peace till you can.

That in a nutshell, was my point.

Behold, the most stupid journalist in the world!

Mr reporter u killed your career by yourself. When He criticised the government you should have carried out a proper investigation to be sure because you were goin to publish it. FYI in politics, you observe good TABLE manners....Dont talk while EATING!!!!!!

The media house is also incompetent for not properly investigating the news before going to publishing.

...so wheres your claim that "he only jumped on the opportunity to show his hatred for this administration"? You can hold your peace too

Have u ever heard of a cover up confession? Uve just read one. I smell rat. This is pure cover up on the side of this end time journalist.

Eziachi:
You invited someone neither you nor your wife or any member of both your families never met before to the most intimate event in your life - your wedding! just because he is famous? Jesus Christ!!

don't mind him. Is that how to invite a big man to ur wedding

the reporter is a liar. He shud publish d audio recording. Also, since he has the impersonator's phone number, he should take adequate steps to lure him out, arrest him and get him to corroborate his story in person. The phone num will also be an evidence. He can then be vindicated. Afterall, impersonation is a criminal offence in naija.

Na because dem no charge you for perjury na him dey make you talk this afterthought rubbish.
