Unauthenticated, ? Now I get it. Lai expected CNN to come to a pathological liar like him to authenticate the videos. Delusions of grandeur.
The CNN said professionals authenticated the videos and found them to be real. These guys are uncomfortable that this era is not like the 80's and 90's when our only source of info was the perpetually moribund NTA. By the way why didn't they comment when CNN reached out to them? Or they where still trying to figure out the lies they would spin.
They will end up in everlasting shame.

That's not the way to query issues without bias.

That the government don't have credibility is not a latitudes for skewed and false reporting.

CNN is beginning to have that trade mark.


When it goes against your interest tomorrow, you will not like it

U still haven't answered d simple questions I asked:

"What does CNN report in d US that has made it loose credibility? Does d nigerian have credibility?"

God don openuna yash. All your Fulani agenda go soon de fly around CNN agents are everywhere in Nigeria as we type, unearthing facts and figures. The spotlight is on Buhari and his people already. Watch as the action unfolds.
Lol... This comment made my morning. If there is anything I enjoy most about Nigerians, it's their ability to manufacture their own facts, howbeit wrong, and still keep a straight face. If you didn't laugh while making your own comment, then you must be a sadist. cheesy

CNN is everywhere unearthing facts and figures after how many weeks? The kind of talk you discuss in your beer parlour when you've taken a few bottles. grin

With all u said, u are yet to answer these simple questions:

Oga, is nigeria not already ruined under buhari? Is it "fake news from western media" that is responsible for banditry in North, inflation, unemployment, bad roads, new trains breaking down in d middle of nowhere, corruption, nepotism, hoarding of covid19 palliatives etc? Are buhari and his crew of government misfits not enough ingredients sufficient to ruin nigeria?
Do you have a deficiency in comprehending? Am I to spoon feed you or didn't you go to school? If you can't draw your answer from the very first sentence in my comment, chances are I'm just wasting my time. Comprehension is a big problem to you.

Politicising Covid.

Politicising BLM

No form of balance in political reporting.

Outright falsehood in critical international reporting. (Not just about Nigeria)

I've seen them twist issues that are obvious. You watch something live and get a bias commentary from CNN.

They are so many.

If you want to go by the core principles of journalism, CNN is NOT credible.

Look at Iran. Citizens are being punished for the sins of their leaders. Take a clue from Lybia which is now a shadow of its former self. When some of you think these people love you, you're simply mistaken. Everything they've touched surely died.

U say am quoting u from d comfort of my home. Pls, where else should I quote u from? Where are u quoting me from? Is it from d discomfort of ur car engine or from a dumpsite?

Again, so because am quoting u from d comfort of my home, I shouldn't tell u about banditry? Pls what is d correlation between quoting u from d comfort of my home & telling u about banditry? By d way, I didn't tell u about banditry, I asked u about banditry.

Going by ur line of reasoning, y are u telling me about Iran& Libya from d discomfort of ur car engine & ur dumpsite? What makes u qualified to talk about Iran& Libya except u are telling me that u are in both countries?

My brother, I was only addressing the fact that video, even live streams could be edited. I did not intend to take side with my statement. It was simply an academic look as to whether a video can be fake or not.

There is not reason for you to send me on errand to be inspecting if a video is fake or not.

Merci.

You have to be affirmative. It's either a yes or no. Not "who knows?"

Is it CNN that is responsible for d banditry that has taken over peaceful states in northern nigeria?
Nothing is ever really as it seems. That's the world we live in. There is no yes and no when you do not have all the relevant details to conclude.

The video I'm sharing below is not related to the topic or the thread. I'm sharing it so you see how foreign countries uses media houses to stir up enough emotional responses by the citizens so as to have probable causes to achieve their objectives. 911, war on Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

Some group of bad and ignorant Nigerians are ready to do anything including damaging the image and de-marketing this country with Fake News and deliberate misinformation in order to discredit the present government (with only 3 yrs left in its tenure); not minding the long term damage their actions would have caused - they'd rather cut off their noses in order to spite their faces; so to speak.

Kinikini:
Government is right, CNN is wrong. Anyone can be emotional about this but there is no half truth, or partial truth. Truth is truth. If you have to cling to a lie just so to justify your wishes, you are not better than the people in government we wish would change from being liars. The verified facts are .
1. Soldiers were deployed to Lekki.
2. Soldiers shut into the air.
3. People were injured.
4. No dead person has been traced to Lekki shooting. Even the single one CNN claimed died due to the shooting were earlier debunked by other sources that did a fact checked.
5. The BBC and the DBN reporters present never reported a death but injury.
6. DJ Switch's story was inconsistent. No other person present at the protest has come out openly to affirm her claim. She could not be the only one who saw the events of the night.
7. That no video emerged to support the claim that soldiers took away the dead bodies is a mystery considering the number of the protesters adept at using social medial. A reporter interviewed a man who claimed to have joined the Army's hilux which conveyed his injured brother to the hospital. Soldiers killed and took the bodies away would hardly be empathic to the point of allowing civilians to go with an injured brother to the military Barracks and then the hospital
8. DJ Switch did not stay to defend her story rather fled. In the face of the truth, the government would have no choice than to admit its killed innocent protesters if she had stayed and presented irrefutable facts.
9. No family has come out to demand the bodies of their dead relatives. If all the dead or so called massacred were destitute, statistically, then, every 4 out of 10 Nigerians must be destitute with no family. No dead bodies has been found. There is no forensic report to support the one dead body found in the lagoon died due to gun shot and linked to Lekki incident. It is all speculation.

Two wrongs never make a right. The government has failed this country but we the people demanding a better society and country cannot achieve it by being led by liars. The lies by DJ Switch has done a lot more damage to the aspirations of good Nigerians. Next time we do a protest, for whatever good reason, do not be surprised the western media will shun us.

Let's assume that d govt is correct & that CNN is wrong according to u. Let's follow d timeline of events and govt responses.

After d lekki shooting incident, d governor of Lagos State said he didn't no what happened and that he wasn't aware of soldiers coming to lekki to enforce a curfew. The nigerian army d same night in response to videos & photos of soldiers shooting at lekki, said d videos & photos were fake news& photoshopped. It said it's men weren't at lekki that night. A few days later, d army changed it's story& said it's men were actually at lekki to enforce curfew that night but were there on d invitation of d governor of lagos state which d governor still denies till date. D army later went on to say that it's men who it initially said weren't at lekki, actually shot blank shots& not live bullets. Later at d judicial hearing, then brigadier taiwo said d army took live bullets to lekki& fired same. On another occasion, d AGF said it wasn't soldiers that were at lekki at d night of d shooting but hoodlums dressed as soldiers.

My brother, can u pls show us d consistency in all these testimonies by d govt? Y do we have several conflicting stories& versions for just a single event? Y is every involved in this issue unwilling to take responsibility & tell d truth if nothing wrong happened that night?

According to u:

The lies by DJ Switch has done a lot more damage to the aspirations of good Nigerians. Next time we do a protest, for whatever good reason, do not be surprised the western media will shun us.

Pls how did what u call "the lies of dj switch" do damage to d aspirations of good nigerians? What exactly are d "aspirations of good nigerians"? In terms of protests, are nigerians protesting for western media or protesting for d betterment of nigeria?
