'I won't settle for less', this is a cliche I have heard from many professionals in recent years but the cliche does not sound relevant to pseudo-classic bloggers who want the fame and wealth at all cost. With no doubt, the unprofessional attitude of bloggers who have got high sophisticated phones and personal computers pretend to play the role of a trained journalist.

It is not a crime to be a blogger, it only becomes a crime when sincerity is not a watch word. Many a time, bloggers want to be the first to report news and in such manner they ignore the verification of their report. The common structure in report these days is 'at the time of filing this report, all effort to reach the accused was abortive' and the story ends there. Bloggers report what they hear not what they confirm to be the truth.

I think it is high time bloggers needed to stop boarding the false train and respect the ethics of journalism. What do you think Nairalander?

So you're blaming the bloggers for the laziness of some professional journalists?

Most Nigerian journalists this days just sit and lift off stories pasted by bloggers instead of doing Thier own jobs....And you want to blame the bloggers?

The bloggers are not journalists, they're what they are , BLOGGERS!

So if the bloggers are the ones copying the journalists, shouldn't we be blaming journalists for the dearth of good journalism?

Wow... And while we are playing the blame game why don't I blame porn for my addiction to 69?
Or blame the sunlight for my AC not working ?
Hmmm or why doesn't Buhari keep blaming PDP for Nigeria being in. Recession....

I wonder why journalist in other countries still thrive excellently despite having internet and bloggers ages before us?

Hmmmmm must be magic right ?

GTFO

Before blogging Nigerian journalism was already a disappointment.

Bloggers help the news to get around so they are necessary.
So even when they bring a news to your notice, a sane person would cross check with the mainstream media powered by real journalist by drawing conclusion
