Touch not premium times and do them no harm. They are the only reliable media house that still keep us informed.

sdindan:
God Bless Premium Time.

Omeokachie:
"However, during a press briefing Wednesday afternoon , Lucky Irabor, the Theatre Commander of ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’, claimed reporting by this medium were not a true reflection of the situation on the ground— and warned the paper of dire consequences."


Is he planning on doing a 'Dele Giwa' on the Editors of Premium Times?

We know who to hold responsible should any harm comes the way of any of them.

misteryman:
Do we have Army in Nigeria or Armature people carrying guns.

9jakohai:
No. Premium Times and SR is doing the job the Press is meant to do in a democratic society, condemn what is wrong so that things can change for the better.

And I for one am glad they are doing it regardless of who is in charge. Yesterday it was PDP, today APC.

If we pretend everything is OK....PMB or GEJ, we will eventually end up with a situation where the mess becomes too big to control.

The point of criticism is not to make one look bad, but to save one from worse things.

GenBuhari:
And we are reading this story from Premium Times, OP wouldn't it have been better to get this story from another source?

Once I got to realise it was Premium times reporting on a complaint against it, I lost interest in continuing to read the news story.

@ topic

When your natiion is at war, it is important that our press do not publish news in a way that would give the enemy confidence.

Also Premium Times is simply wrong to refer to Boko Haram as an insurgency, because Boko Haram has no known grievances or objectives, therefore making them merely terrorists.

Premium times and other media need to stop forthwith referring to BH as insurgents this legitimises these terrorists, so in this sense , the General is right.

duni04:
You must be a very wicked person in real life to have posted this rubbish here. Two videos surfaced online showing how soldiers were being starved almost to death in Sambisa forest and also showing how these same soldiers almost manhandled their commanding officer because they felt they had been abandoned to die.
All premium times did was to do an editorial on the contents of the videos and you're here talking nonsense about how they shouldn't have.
The videos were made by the soldiers themselves, not by premium times! Get that into your skull.
How General Irabor can so openly act ignorant and foolish in denying the contents of that video baffles me. It wasn't audio o, video!
Very shameful!

GenBuhari:
Boko Haram can only gain confidence and comfort from such reports.
The terrorist are facing far worst challenges than our troops, but you would not find them publicising their problems.

Just common sense. In a war situation you must not make reports that brings comfort to your enemy and at same time which may lower morale of our troops.

Bitterleafsoup:
Do they think we believe anything from anybody put into postion by this administration?

Good job PT unlike America media you are only obligated to the truth.

Anybody that allows those men fighting for us to starve and fight ill equipped are enemies of the Federation.

GEJ was stopped by every International country to buy arms, this administration has so much backing and billions in loans to fight Boko Harem, yet and still two years later the Armed Forces are worst off.
Why?

you mean the only media house that misinform you
