Without releasing d full unedited version the management of Daily Trust has said nothing. Independent minds like us can only mediate and pass judgement only when d undoctored version is made known so till then I stand with FFK

Now u understand why we stand with buhari or elrufai....no matter what

"do you know who you are talking to"
Why do Nigerians like using this phrase ?

Release the full video

chukwugoziegi:
But we all know FFK is a mad man na.

And yet we celebrate him what an irony

He already showed Nigerians his true character. What has d gentle reporter done wrong?

Cocaine

Racoon:
I said it.Fani Kayode should have gentlemanly answer the question e.g."I am sponsoring myself as part of my contribution to good governance." However he just made a totally wrong impression of himself.

you think ffk is that intelligent? common

Oya naa...

Daily trust 2-1 Fani Kayode

Ask me that kind of stupid question and I will give you a configured slap.
FFK was lenient enough to show his anger verbally.
A journalist doesn't have the license to be rude and stupid. The silly man is likely a nairalander who come here to insult people and he disorganizedly forgot he was face to face with FFK.

Nonsense.

Fani don buy market.

Thank you for being more logical and less emotional. Though the former minister might have overreacted, if the man's utterance was anything like what the minister claimed he said or even what he claimed he said himself, then he was wrong! Journalism without intelligence is catastrophic.

omenka:
Ffk just gave the public a sneak peek into what goes on in his home, what he puts his babies mamma through.

I can only sympathise with her for being forced to out up with such a beastly character cloaked in human skin.

omenka you're taking this personal.

There are more behind this than these nairaland rants
you even go about insulting nairalanders that have different opinions.
na wa oo
we have rules here remember?

Anyone with an ounce of brain already know that this crack head is a fraud. Only the retarded brainwashed IPIG monkeys are kissing his drug infected ass. He's of NO relevance even in his own home town not to talk of Yoruba land.


Afenifebi and fat lips Odumakin will not find their voices now. If this had been an APC person, by now you would have heard about suppression of journalism, death of democracy and other usual cacophony.

He’s gradually losing it...

He needs brain check up.

He is a junkie, and a stupid one at that. what do you expect?

IamWonderful:
The spirit of IPOB can disgrace and humiliate anyone at anytime

l'm telling you. If IPOB are hailing you, my brother you are finished automatically.
From Saraki,to Atiku, to FFK (Unchained Mad Dog)

FFK has made his point so that others could learn..there are questions you don't ask recklessly,use your brain when you are with your elders ...why asking who is bank rolling his trip ? What has that got to do with the issue at stake. Next time the reporter or his likes wouldn't ask such silly questions. Anyone that is not happy with FFK' s report can go to Efcc or DSS as usual.

When the presence of God departs a man, he begins to make mistakes. .This action clearly shows that Fani kayode is losing it.

Watch it man!

To be honest it's a sinister Question. This why trump always turn tables on them. When the tables are turned they will start squeaking like bitchesss.

"Who Is bankrolling" rather "how do you fund this trips would have been apprioprate and respectfull.

What you want ffk to answer?. My pdp gf?

The political clime is already tense the press should be carefull. Other clime their are proper investigative journalism..here they lazy about and wait for sheep news to manifest for them.

Nice. He has always been an attack dog yet he can't stomach the same

What about dino Melaye, shehu sani, Ambode then, imminent devastation of Obaseki next

Vanpascore:

You think FFK doesn't read nonsense things people say about him gallivanting around begging Governors for money?
The idiotic journalist simply gave him the platform to vent his anger on those insults and online abuses.

That question was about FFK's ego and I support him for quickly reacting the way that he did. If he had been "gentle" about that, you people will still come here to say that his calm reaction meant his trips were bankrolled by the Governors.

You seems not to know what FFK is capable of

NUJ are still coming very soon. It's over for FFK unless he tender unreserved apology to the gentle man.

Y then do he had to release a n edited/doctored version?
he should have released the full video and not whip up emotions

A BIG HAMMER TO #FFK'S COFFIN FROM VETERAN JOURNALIST Asaju Tunde

-----------------------------------------------------------
I can share my column later. This Can't Wait
By Asaju Tunde
-----------------------------------------------------------

As a journalist, I am simply outraged; first to read the views of my chairman, Emmanuel Ogbeche and later to see the clip of my dear sister, Ruona J. Meyer on events in Calabar. It's still early in Ottawa and I need to take it easy today so that I don't transfer my aggression on others (including members of my own family). But I am totally miffed!

I mean, this is an assault on journalism. Journalism is a noble profession. A profession that have rules. A profession that is practiced by the best of the world - yes (subtract me). Canada's Deputy Prime Minister is a journalist! The founding fathers of Nigeria - Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe were journalists!

I am disturbed and totally angry that a rabble rouser, a lickspittle, an abysmally corrupt, inept and uncouth Femi Fani-Kayode would insult a journalist the way he just did and get away with it. I am totally angry that this idiot of no compare would exhibit his madness on a halpless journalist who was only holding him accountable to the ideals he wants to be credited with, but which he lacks both in character and comportment.

But above all, I am totally disturbed, that colleagues who were present did not see this as assault on their profession, on their own integrity and on their noble profession - they were nodding heads and apologizing like agama lizards that they all are.

I am disturbed that a tv station even uploaded it with a caption that FFK reacts to a rude journalist! I am shocked that this is happening in 2020. I mean, Donald Trump has done worse to journalists, but he has also received worse. No journalist worth his calling and training should be insulted like that by a fraud! FFK is a fraud! I say so!

I think the NUJ should not let this lie low. If it does, it would have created a precedent and who knows what happens next. Maybe he would assault a journalist because he is a lawyer...there are lawyers in our profession too. Chuks Ohuegbe is a lawyer, Shareef Mohammed is a lawyer, Mohammed Adamu is a lawyer and there are many more. Sir Richard Akinola II is a respectable lawyer with a veritable source of income and a mileage of philanthropy that Fani Kayode would never reach in seven lifetimes, he is a journalist. Need I mention more?

Fani Kayode has no known job. He has never been known to have won a single case anywhere in life. His record of mental health issues is well known. Here is a man who has no decency or decorum. Here is a man who attacks everything that moves. Here is a man who kisses and tells...that is the lowest of the low. Here is a man who is hiding under judicial privileges to escape justice for corruption. Which of the journalists he denigrates carries this plethora or evil resume? None!

Yes, maybe people collect brown envelopes. But if there are no givers, there would be no takers? What are those giving brown envelopes trying to hide? That is also an issue, not that I support inducing journalists.

I am interested in what happened after this press conference. I'll be monitoring how his threat to report the journalist to Daily Trust would be resolved. I am waiting for the official reaction of the Daily Trust Management to this assault on their reporter. A news organization is as good as how it allows idiots treat its reporters.

Fani Kayode must be told in no unclear terms that he has no integrity to protect. He should go and clear his case before the courts with evidence. If he was picked up and detained, it would not have been for telling truth to power - it would have been for hate speech that he spews out daily; and it must have been for his shameful record in public office. FFK has no integrity to protect. We are all witnesses to his record in service, his dodgy lifestyle.

No journalist should endure insult from anyone. If you ask a question, you want answers. If people are not ready to give answers, they are free to walk away, but assault and insults does NOT come with the profession. No colleague must stand by and watch his comrade denigrated the way FFK has done to the Daily Trust reporter.

NUJ must investigate this. What happened before the question? What happened after the press conference and if people are known to (as would probably be) have egged on this demented idiot in his tirade just because of the brown envelope that comes after the deal, then, something must be done.

We must save journalism from charlatans and from political jobbers who want to hide under one finger. This assault on my profession by people of doubtful character MUST STOP.

But this is what Cross River People said:

“I didn’t realize our August Visitor was so thin-skinned. A simple mischievous question from an inquisitive journalist and he launched into a paroxysm of “do you know who I am?” It was Wole Soyinka who said, in response to Leopold Sedar Senghor’s criticism, that “tiger does not have to demonstrate its tigritude”. I wonder why our Visitor felt the need to remind us who he is. Feelings of insecurity, perhaps?

Anyway, someone should please tell our great man that lawyers like him are now available at 2 for 10kobo. They’re all over the place these days and his host would have told him that many of them are his food-on-the-table dependents. So, no one is particularly impressed that a lawyer came all the way from Ife to “Cross Rivers” State to heap (absolutely unmerited?) praise on the Governor of Cross River State.

Here is a gentleman who has in his lifetime followed, supported and spoken for diametrically opposed political causes. He was known to have penned the most utterly satanic verses against a sitting Vice-President who was his boss in the OBJ cabinet (and, by the way, VP Atiku Abubakar never publicly sad a bad word against him and OBJ all through that horrible ordeal). Here is a gentleman who now spends his days excoriating the current President and Vice-President of Nigeria and their Government with the most bilious prose imaginable. This gentleman traveled across Nigeria to visit a Governor such as Ben Ayade and went into a raging diatribe when asked a simple question about who bankrolled his trip.

If our August Visitor is self-aware, he should have been surprised if no one asked him that “mischievous” question. Who bankrolled his trip to Calabar? Who is not silently asking (and answering) this question? Come to think of it, is it really a bad thing for a Governor to bankroll his visitor’s travel to come and say nice things about such a Governor? Wouldn’t that fall into the category of security vote expenditure? After all, goood lawyers DO NOT pay their own expenses when traveling in service of a client, as our August Visitor ought to remember. Otherwise, a simple “no, this is a trip paid for entirely out of my own pocket” would have sufficed to put the journalist in his place.

Instead, we have the spectacle below, which any average student of psychology would tell you seems to be a clear indication that a raw nerve was touched by the question...indicating perhaps that the question came discomfitingly close to the truth? Who knows?

Anyway, I take our August Visitor at his own word. As a traditional Chief, a graduate of the ancient Universitas Cantabriensis (Cambridge University for those of you who don’t know a word of Latin) a legal practitioner of almost 40 years standing, a former Minister of the Federal Republic, there is just no way he could have allowed an ordinary Governor like Ben Ayade to “bankroll” his trip to Calabar. He had heard of the mighty works and wonders wrought by our most eloquent exponent of intellectual money and came to witness them for himself. Darisall.

Indeed, our August Visitor came, he saw and he left well satisfied. “ Eyo O. Ekpo

techmo:




Who is bankrolling your trips?!

Simple answer; I am bankrolling the trip from my monthly income, my registered business, my Youth Corper Alawe, my civil servants pension, bet Naija tickets I won etc

*FFK vs Ogundamisi [ do you know who my father was you son of a common soldier]

*FFK vs Rochas Okorocha [ do you know who my families are, you ritualist from a poor home]

*FFK vs Ameachi [ do you know who my father was, you son of a peasant]


.

If it were Obj,Gbenga Daniels,Fayose etc,would that stoopid journalist ask such a question?
Or is Fani Kayode supposed to be compulsorily broke?
There is man of his calibre you ask such a question that won't flare up.
I don't expect you to understand sha
