The video circulated was carefully edited to show only the outburst and not what led to it. However, FFK claimed the man's statement was "who is bankrolling who" while the journalist himself said his question was "who is bankrolling you?". Whichever one, it is still very tactless. You haven't established he is being bankrolled and you're asking who is bankrolling him. That's a whole lot of assumption and insinuation.

FFk was here saying it's not a question.
But in the video he was screaming " what type of stupid question is that?"

Did the man call Ffk stupid?
Did he insult FFk?
If FFk knew he couldn't stand scrutiny why did he call a press interview?
Many journalists have ask presidents directly embarrassing question and they find a way to dodge it. Go watch Amanpour.
A straight Yes or No would have done.
But being the delinquent he is he had to act condescending by insulting and intimidating the journalist.
That embarrassment was not only directed at that man but to all journalist.
Wait for NUJ's response.

A straight Yes or No to "who is bankrolling you?". That was not a Yes or No question. Stupid is not the only insult out there. That question already suggested the man was being bankrolled. Amanpour would not ask "who is bankrolling you?" if it hasn't been established that the former senator was being bankrolled, never. She'd rather first ask if he was being sponsored before moving on to who is doing that. And that's where a simple Yes or No would have been perfect. If you want to be a tough journalist, learn how to prepare soft landings for yourself. Journalism involves a lot of intelligence and fast thinking, this guy didn't employ any of those. FFK over reacted but the journalist's question was not carefully thought out. We are just refusing to see it cause any opportunity to lash out at someone we don't like is welcome.

It's the work of every journalist to ask seemingly embarrassing questions.
You either answer or decline. Simple!
There is nothing wrong with the question. Ffk himself asked to be asked any form of questions that he's equal to the task.

The journalist only disappointed me by not standing his ground.
As a journalist, you must be prepared. You mustn't be intimidated. You have to be aware of just who you are, what you are, what you know, what you bring to the table and what you deserve. Don’t be apologetic.
I doubt if you are a journalist anyway.

There is nothing wrong with the question. At least no reasonable person has condemned the journalist.

The work of the journalist is to "uncover" and not to "ask seemingly embarrassing questions". It is understandable if the person being asked questions gets embarrassed but that is never the aim of journalism. Journalism is game of tact, the journalist must be unassuming and must ask unambiguous questions. To get the truth from people, the journalist blocks every exit route by first building his premise and then following up with trailing questions that cannot be avoided based on the pre-established premise. It's similar to litigation but less aggressive. Asking "who is sponsoring who (or "you"wink" when no premise has been built on the subject of "sponsoring" is not in any way smart. It creates room for the person to avoid the question.

Nigerians don't condemn things based on logic but mostly based on their relationship with the people involved. FFK has many foes so the fact that people are not condemning the journalist is nothing to go by. Besides, like I said earlier, FFK overreacted thus taking the attention away from the the journalist's poor skills.

It's not everyone that is hypocritical my brother.

I myself, would have said worst.

The worst thing to happen to a man to become a Sissy before any other man, for no stupid reason!!!

No matter what, be YOUR OWN MAN! & take responsibility for your actions, no regrets, whatsoever.

I RESPECT FFK MORE BY HIS REACTIONS, HE SAID HE DOES NOT REGRET IT AT ALL, AND I LOVE THAT!!!

FFK used to be on Nairaland with the moniker of Cramjones. His posts were like the ramblings of an incurable lunatic.

This was true. Back in the day.

You can't impose a particular tactic on every journalist. There is a reason why we are told to think outside the box.
Many famous journalist are renowned for being fierce and asking blunt questions. It all depends on the mentality of the person they're asking. FFK is full of himself.
FFK had been to Zamfara, Anambra and now Cross Rivers. He has never been seen in a law court before. He was minister 13 years ago. Who is bankrolling such VIP trip
is a relevant question. (Maybe you can tell me how else to ask it).
I only blame that man and other journalist there.
Read below how other journalist treated a whole American president when they felt he was racial profiling an Asian -American journalist cos if a question she asked.

Journalist have to be united in standing up for each other in Nigeria not preoccupied with a brown envelope.
