NBC Sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise Over Lekki Shooting by Islie(op): 2:11pm On Oct 26, 2020
The National Broadcasting Station (NBC) has sanctioned three major broadcast stations over their alleged roles in escalation of violence across the nation .

The regulators fined Arise TV, African Independent Television (AIT) and Channels Television between N2million and N3million.

The stations were accused of airing unverified images of the alleged shooting.

The protest, which began on a peaceful note has since gone violence, with many states experience wanton destructions and looting of public and private properties.

NBC has been recklessly used by Lai Mohammed against the TV and Radio stations that have been with the masses and reporting ongoing issues as they are.

These Private TV and Radio Stations are meant to be a little bit aligned with the masses cos they are profit making organizations, thriving and developing on nothing but public acceptance.

NBC can’t expect Channels and Arise News (leaving out AIT anyway) to start acting dummy to the government like NTA being solely financed by the government or TVC which its proprietary is neo-government.

I wonder how CNN would have been dealt with if CNN and Donald Trump are Nigerians

Shame on NBC, the fines for any station who contributed to destructions in Lagos with fake news should start at 100 million Naira. These stations have bloods on their hands.

Re: NBC Sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise Over Lekki Shooting by DiagnoPolitics:
Every journalist must rise up and challenge this buhari and lie mohammed's attack on the free media. Go to court and get a perpetual injunction against these feudal f00ls, if that doesn't work, start your transition to operate satellite-based pirate TV stations that they cannot control.

These are f00ls who rode on media freedom of GEJ's regime to get into power, now they are interested in stopping others from airing their opinions they way they were allowed to air theirs. I don't know why protesters have not captured Lie mohammed to panel-beat his big lying mouth by now?

NBC should sanction NTA for airing unuseful programmes as well.

An oppressive government is feared more than a tiger. cool

This shows that the perpetrators of the Lekki massacre will go to any length to cover u their crime against humanity,

Are they sanctioning the stations for airing to the people the evils they did there?

We know NBC and some TV stations in this country have been compromised by this govt and their cronies

#ENDNBC

Your home is incomplete without good quality furniture thats why we are here for you

Very good..

We won’t have a better Nigeria if we all get brainwashed..

Next time they won’t publish what they didn’t verify!
Re: NBC Sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise Over Lekki Shooting by Nazgul: 2:25pm On Oct 26, 2020
So up till now no one has sanctioned the army for shooting at innocent protesters and denying it openly.

Nigeria my country

They should have just pardoned them. Fake news and exagerated news did more damage than the actual wrong actions of the Soldiers but i believed the celebrities were the real source of the news. How much will Falz ,Yemi Alade and co get fined?
Re: NBC Sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise Over Lekki Shooting by datola: 2:25pm On Oct 26, 2020
People, bloggers and media houses should take responsibility and be sanctioned for any falsehood they share to the public.

They should also be equally commended for sharing true information and discoveries.

Guess Government sources are the only verified sources..
Re: NBC Sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise Over Lekki Shooting by Coldie: 2:26pm On Oct 26, 2020
To me they should have the right to sue if the govt cannot prove that the images they aired were unverified.

U can just fine them for airing a live video from a scene

Make we Kuku ma go back to military rule since there's no freedom of speech.
Re: NBC Sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise Over Lekki Shooting by Omezif(m):
Why the government wanted them to be silent, broadcasting about the lekki shooting does not mean they are sponsoring the tensions arose thereafter, but giving nigerians information ensued after the atrocities of soldiers. Sanctioning them is quite illegal.

Re: NBC Sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise Over Lekki Shooting by Nobody: 2:26pm On Oct 26, 2020
They want the stations to be like archaic NTA that kept showing farmers planting rice while news regarding the unrest last week wasn't shown at all. They must resist this intimidation by challenging this order at the court.
Re: NBC Sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise Over Lekki Shooting by otokx(m): 2:26pm On Oct 26, 2020
Which way Nigeria?
Re: NBC Sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise Over Lekki Shooting by html14java(f):
So it's better to behave like NTA, Showing how to cook Egusi soup in the heat of national crises.

What type of Government do we really have in Nigeria?

Well, thank God for internet and Social media. If not, all these happenings would have been swept under the carpet.

BUT Internet Remembers.
