You dont need to explain your stupidity, especially if it was crystal clear the first time.
Many of you rose from thatched houses to becoming DGs, MDs and acronyms and all of a sudden, start thinking like baboons.

Ononuga lacks honour and integrity.

He should have stood his ground because what he said originally is what he felt and feels even now. Forget the lame rebuttal to save face.

But common pips. What do you expect from an appointee serving under a man who has no integrity at all that his accolades and zombies parade as Mr. Integrity; till today, no certificate but 100SANs to defend, who promised no first lady but gave us a wife of president who believes her office is higher than a state governor, who is yet to clarify her role in Halliburton scandal, who travelled to Qatar and passed it on as USA.

Shame.

Shame.

That's all I have to say

Op, when you say "nigerians reacted the the former statement of NAN" do you mean nairalanders? Cos many nairalanders supported his initial statement without even thinking twice.

For those that didn't bother reading this post: he said he was referring to a newspaper report showing kwashiokor victims that weren't even nigerians used in reporting hunger in nigeria.
lie
the man meant what he said. I see his post on facebook. he is really stupid.

Normally he was supposed to expect that kind of reaction. In that his article his opinion was very clear. He should have taken his time to address all these things he is addressing now. When I read the part of him buying food for 700 I was just laughing at his stupidity. Not everyone can afford to spend 700 a day on only feeding. Not to talk of just a meal.

The guy thinks people are fools . Imagine him saying that the plane heading to London was full so there's no hardship.

Someone should ask him why he didn't encourage his daughter to jettison flying abroad when there are local options here in Naija angry some of these old men go just de yarn opata any how


TheHerald:
The Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Bayo Onanuga has clarified his intentions following the backlash from his earlier post.

Recall that Nigerian blasted the NAN MD for posting on his Facebook wall that the suffering of Nigerians was mere political propaganda.

Addressing te post and clarifying his intent, Onanuga took to his Facebook wall to write:

“I need to make myself crystal clear to all those who have responded, some with vulgar abuse, some with disparaging remarks, to my statement on Facebook on the situation in my country.



First is that many people demonstrated in their reactions that they did not understand what I wrote. They simply read my statement upside down or ill-digested it. Several points I raised were mere hypotheses, mere suppositions, not conclusions. I asked: is it true? Have we been exaggerating our economic conditions? Can the media conduct some reality check?

In saying so, I remember a photograph of kwashiorkored kids published recently by one of our respected newspapers to illustrate ‘the hardship’ in the land. Of course, the photograph does not reflect any true reality about Nigeria, it was lifted from a foreign publication.

I thank all those who responded by countering my hypothesis with their own propositions about our condition.

I agree we all live in different parts of the country and I fully accept we see things in different light.

Second, no where in my statement did I suggest that our country is not going through a difficult time and that our people are not going through some hardship. The President himself has admitted this on several occasions.

As the economic crisis rages on, everyone has been affected one way or the other, including those in government at all levels. Even Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote has had his wealth vastly reduced by the economic crisis.

As Nigerians we need to understand very quickly that we are going through the worst economic crisis in our history. Wailing, apportioning blames are not, in my view, the appropriate reactions to the crisis. We need to begin to change the way we live. If you are used to consuming imported things such as Thailand Rice, American Long Grain rice, the times dictate we jettison the idea and go for local Abakaliki or Ofada rice. If you like foreign dresses, it’s time to switch to the locally made fabrics. If you have a vehicle that guzzles petrol, it’s time to switch to fuel efficient ones.

And the latter reminds me of the American reaction when crude was trading at $140 a few years ago. Many Americans dumped their SUVs. Many of the rejected vehicles were shipped to Nigeria. Now that petrol price is high in our country, as a result of the Avengers crisis and the unfavourable forex regime, is it not time also we copied the Americans, dumped the SUVs and jumped on public transport or shared transport?

My takeaway from my experience today is that Nigerians seldom read critically any post. We read superficially and make comments, most often trivialising serious issues.

And finally, I have spent the past 36 years post-graduation defending the cause of the Nigerian people. Contrary to some opinions, my view is not influenced by my official position. Those who peddle such lies do not know me. I pray God to forgive them.”

He is paid naah. No sensible Nigerian would still be defending APC or Buhari with this level of hardship in Nigeria if the person isn't directly benefiting from the government.
U might not want to criticise Buhari for reasons best known to u, that's understandable, but going ahead to defend Buhari and even join him to blame past administrations for the inactions of the present administration in this wonderful economy is the height of it.
So, my oga, he is being paid wella.

You can imagine how low wailers can reason.

Why do we need a foreign picture to depict hunger in our land ?

They can't even get pictures from IDP Camp which unfortunately still does not reflect the nature of the hardship we face.

Wailers read headline and spit nonsense ignorantly.
