POSTED ON MAY 11, 2019

David Alaba* Bayern Munich left back and Austrian international, David Alaba has tagged reports of Nigerian U-17 coaches demanding bribe from his as ‘FAKE’. Alaba, in an exclusive interview with OmaSport said the news is unsubstantiated and false. When quizzed on the veracity of the now viral report, fast making the rounds, Alaba who is on the cusp of earning his 8th league title with the Bavarians said;

‘No! They didn’t demand money from me. It’s fake news.”

Recall that reports on Nigerian locals had flown round about cadet coaches demanding money from Alaba to make him represent the U-17 national team in the 2007 U-17 World Cup.

Reactions.

More reactions.

Even more reactions.

So where did the initial report originate from?

I've said it before and I will say it again, journalism in Nigeria is dead. Gone are the days of Dele Giwa, Baguada Kaltho et al. What we have now are hungry, unprofessional copy and paste bloggers masquerading as journalists whose only care is breaking the 'news' first, due diligence can suck Buhari's aged balls (scuse my language). They are so unprofessional that they don't know that getting a scoop is not as important as factual news reportage.

Shame on all of them!

And some reactors have already reacted

Who should we believe nah ?

Sad

Let's hope

for this early momo you're mad

Then what was the source of the previously tagged fake news??

I'm sure it was someone that reported that in the first place


Anyways, bottom line is that if it hasn't happened to Alaba, I'm sure it has happened to some and they have decided to keep mute about it, probably they're voiceless!

This is Nigeria remember!

Why rope dey separate them na?

And some people still doubt the one with pictures


most Nigerians too like bad news

I'm more concerned with the restriction line in all of the pix. Dude still dey force the pix, let it be that he had a pix with Alaba.

Some Nigerians and mumu is like Ewedu and Amala. See how he's embarrassing himself, trying to strangle the young fellow.

Right now seff you can't get into the national team under this buhari regime. You no be Hausa Muslim

Nigeria is the only country in the world where her citizens deliberately reel out negative false stories about her country and still expects the poor global perception of the country to change

Na wa ooo, everybody wan sell news. tori tori

I don't wanna believe that this bet9ja guys spamming through all nairaland threads aren't bots. In fact, it seems they've gotten access to Nairaland's api which makes it easy for these bots to keep spamming uncontrollably. Seun has lot of works to do.

Garbage

True or no true, there will always be an element of truth to it.

Most institutions in Nigeria ridden with corruption.

My country and Fake news

And you must carry all tweeter and his photo albums here.
We know how Nigeria operates ,oga. You think they will contact you directly than using proxies which I turn will make money from both sides?

Hmmm

We know our naija people and what they can do. Any bribe allegation against any Nigerian is true in most cases

I beg forget that thing, if this didn't happend to you alaba it happens to another person joh. No be naija we dey

Nigerians we always like to condemn our own. No wonder the world dont take us serious.

We know the did. They must have come to beg u

Many fake news are in circulation and some foolish Nigerians will swallow it like a hot cake without making their research.





Nigerians are the most gullible people on earth that always believe anything they see on social media.


One low IQ blogger will wake up with a hungry stomach and post a fake news with a fake link, Nigerians will not even click on the link but they will start cursing and bad mouthing our dear country.
