At least they'll channel their flight towards the useless government
I just pray they do my brother, truth be told Nigeria is burning. Buhari’s supporters here have all gone cold.

I don’t pray for war at all because wherever it happens will never be the same again

So they sent a corps member, an amateur to a professional job?

On top #19800? It was an avoidable death.

Sending inexperienced corper to cover such?

Channels TV got it wrong here except the young man is not on official duty

Journalism has stages & there are things newbie will not be able to handle no matter how brilliant you are in school.

Field experienced is quite different from knowledge you acquired in school


huh
Your judgement is irrelevant and a breach of procedures. You don't even know how he got there. There are other corpers also serving in the Fed secretariat. There is no experience or stage required to be a field journalist except personal attributes.
If he had not died, even with the gunshot in this case, it would have been an enviable resume' in his CV in international journalism.
It is a heartbreaking loss, an evidence of national systemic failure of governance. Wait, the shameless politicians will soon start rushing to the same journalists under their pay role to air condolence sshit .

The worst of it is that the police, the senate, rep will soon set up committees to investigate and gradually nothing will come out, and the so called journalists will not even care to follow up.

See this one! So you don't know journalism comes with its own risks?
It comes with its own risk but like I said, such task is not meant for baby journalist.

Channels TV is an irresponsible station. How do you send a journalist to a combat zone to cover news without a ballistic vest? A Level II or Level IIIA would have protected him. One would have thought they would have learnt from the death of their correspondent in Kano in a bomb attack. Apparently they have not.
Maybe because the family did not sue them for damages and the government did not sue them for criminal negligence?
Why change for better when you can get away with the worst performancehuh
That is not profitable na.

It's painful that nairaland is full of dullards who does not make sense in any reaction to posts.What is happening in Nigeria today is also happening in some other more advanced countries across the world.Nigeria is not a Paradise where evil or wickedness can not happen.If USA,France,Britain, China,Japan,etc can experience tumultuous times,where is Nigeria?.What killing this country is sentimentality, tribalism and selfishness. Some come here to say it's bad to be a Nigerian,even if the Garden of Eden there was no peace there then.
If only we can react positively to issues that threatens our nation who knows your voice,reactions or comments could be the one that will pull us out.

I can Vividly Remember how Channels were at the fore front of ushering in a New government between 2014 and 2015...Now you have the government u so much wanted and desire enjoy it.....R.I.P to the Dead

arrestdarrester:
You talk too much. Did Channels TV tell you he was handling the coverage as a lead? Or setting up field equipment?

There are observer levels and intern levels in such fields. Where do you want them to do the observation or understudying?

By the way all Corps members should be life-insured and the families handsomely compensated in fatal outcomes like this.
Based on the news we read, he's not an observer.

Read the news & read my comment once more

This video is funny. Police throw you tear gas, a sane person would run away but they decided to retaliate by throwing tear gas back which is an invitation to war. They went as far as killing some police men.


The shooting was what they were expecting.
Re: Precious Owolabi Is Dead: Channels TV Reporter Shot During Shiites-Police Clash by fm4real2k6(m): 6:50am On Jul 23, 2019
Maybe @Channelstv need to learn live reportage from @NTANewsNow.
24hrs after an incidence is when their own live-reportage start,even sometimes 3days after.
After all,Its still a "live report" at the scene of incidence.
RIP Precious Owolabi, Police DCP.

When push comes to shove, it's still the commoners that pay the price.
This could have been avoided if that court order was obeyed.

I can’t believe the pictures I just saw are policemen containing a riot! They are not properly kitted at all! The IGP USA be held responsible! If care is not taken Nigerian citizens will begin to emigrate elsewhere called anywhere else at all costs!

Rip to all those we lost today to the Nigeria police It's one of those things about life,one thing must kill a man
What about the ones lost by the Police? What do you say to them? Don't they deserve to rest in peace too?
Re: Precious Owolabi Is Dead: Channels TV Reporter Shot During Shiites-Police Clash by onatisi(m): 7:16am On Jul 23, 2019
this shiites issue has gone out of hand ,buhari has and nigeria now have been cornered, they cant release el zakky now because doing so now will mean the government giving in to intimidation and this will further encourage other groups in the nation to do the same , at the same time keeping el zakzakky in detention will keeping bringing out more deadly skirmishes like yesterday own.
what is even more baffling is that this shiites group are no longer staging their protests in kaduna BUT RIGHT IN ABUJA THE NATION CAPITAL IN FULL GLOBAL VIEW, this is a bad image for the nation
many security questions need to be raised and should be of concern to nigerians , how did this group penetrate the nation capital with guns enough to stage attacks on the nation security agencies ?
with over 5000 members in abuja and if the report coming in are anything to go by ,they were armed with guns. having 3000 people of a particular religious group in a nation capital and willing to stage attack is a serious serious security issue for any nation ,yesterday it was against the police , what if they decide to start attacking defenseless citizens?
the truth is NOONE IS SAFE IN ABUJA ANYMORE
