fiercehillz:

We should do away with govt subsidy to religious pilgrimages but wait, what are we even importing?
We should develop ourselves

Some flat heads will still ask or infer ......

What good deeds? She was slain while performing a religious obligation. No one should be killed for their beliefs/non-belief.

May her soul rest in peace No proof yet that she was killed for belief or do you have any?

Nigerian Media: Truth versus Reality
In the past few days, the hearts of genuine citizens of our great nation have bled over the news of the killing of a female Christian preacher by alleged Muslim fanatics in Kubwa area of the FCT, Abuja. I was actually alerted by a friend's ext message because although i reside in the affected area, i was far away in Ibadan, Oyo State, as at the time of the incident. As an average concerned Nigerian, i thought, when will this nation be free from religious and ethnic crises? But as a journalist and one with eye for investigation, i knew i had a duty at hand. So, on my return to the city, i visited the particular street, the particular spot, conducted personal investigation and secret interviews, and made several findings. I became sad! Why? Most of the information doled out by our media are NOT TRUE! For the avoidance of doubt, there was no evidence of anyone present when the woman died. Witnesses only said they met her dead. Secondly, i did not find anyone to confirm that any part of the woman was missing or mutilated. I talked with one who saw the corpse early that morning, with two policemen, before the news went viral. Thirdly, there was no mosque in that street or behind the spot. Fourthly, the vicinity had been under the torment of cultism in the past few months, in fact, two separate persons were found killed and dumped in the area recently, one of them on the street adjacent this particular one. The police is actually on the trail of s notorious cult who is believed to have sneaked into and hiding in the area. The police is insisting that they met the corpse body intact. But, alas! What my colleagues wrote were terrifying. In fact, it revived hatred, instigated religious intolerance and personal mistrust. I am sure many of you journalists who wrote the story were not in Abuja, you just received the news from friends and forwarded to your headquarters, which also did not verify before going to press. I also know that many of those in Abuja then did not visit the place, nor conduct proper investigation. For an issue as critical as religion and ethnicity, most of you goofed! The media is an indefatigable player in nation building, and no society is firmly built on negligence and mistrust as being displayed by our journalists. But, the media houses too are at fault. Most of them pay peanuts for staff while the few at the top swim in affluence. Where, then, is the resource and motivation for the reporter to carry out investigative reporting and due diligence. To survive, many journalists are pipers in the hands of politicians, religious leaders and businessmen and even government, who dictate their tune. Yet, the masses are at the receiving end because they naturally hold on to the news from the media. It is a hell a times, to change the people's perception on issues, over which our media had made serious blunders. I had had to show identity cards to some, before they agree to reason along the right perspective. The corruption on the media is much, but our colleagues can just help hold on to the truth.

mazimee:
All because some people feels that any place mohammedians' reside is strictly for mohammedians.Hence, anybody else who pitch his tent with them and yet doesn't practice mohammedic teachings does so at his peril

They will be singing "Islam is peace" and "Islam teaches tolerance" upandan like we don't see how peaceful and tolerant they have been with
non mohammedians all over the world.

mrkayusfit:
Buhari should lock up all PDP members. All we want in this country is APC.

Such thinking is not correct and it's not good for growth and development of Nigeria

Rubbish! Show us where and how he stopped PDP or any party or group for that matter from using public places.

Where's the Fayose in the picture sef? Even if he is what is the evidence that the occasion is as described? Even if it is, I doubt if Ibadan people are so jobless that they abandoned their work to go to radio station at the same time!!!

mrkayusfit:
Omo ale ree oo

Did you read to know the context of why she is happy? If only you did you would have been happy when I call you Daunce

Goddex:
[size=13pt]PUNCH newspaper is just doing silly propaganda for APC/Buhari as usual.

PUNCH is shielding a theiving corrupt woman that used her husband's connection in Nigeria's oil sector to launder money.

Aisha should just travel to US na? Why has she not instituted the legal action she threatened Fayose with?

Let Donald Trump win and let's see if this theif woman will not be arrested.

[/size]

Where did you see Punch Newspaper in the post?

stupidity in practice!!! Trial within a trial. How can defendants summon "prosecutor"? I dey gbadun this drama

"Let us learn to tolerate each other's religion and shun violence."

This is a careless talk. How did you come to the conclusion that the killing was religion motivated, dear senator?

where were you when other killings (both muslims and Christians) were going on in Kubwa and Bwari?

mtscheeeeewww!

modified

with Bsc in Edu yet can't even spell "acquired" properly and blame Buhari for your foolishness. Poverty will use you to get promotion!!!

nyabingi:
All Na wash...Can the Muslims also give their mosque Land for Christian crusade?...I leave that for you to answer!

why not? I guess you must be a small kid that was born few years before or during this democracy that turned everything political.
Both Christians and Muslims have always been working together.
ask mum or dad

passionate88:
Muslims can't do that

Your evidence, religious bigot?
