@FBS, laughing when your naira and kobo keeps going down the drain in Enugu and Calabar.

Now that is bad, if you have verifiable fact to that heinous crime it would be best to make it known. It is illogical for those media houses to exploit people in need! They have by their actions exposed their irrelevance! Please if you can get info on them i would be delighted

let me correct this; i have worked with a number of electronic media for some years now; this is absolutely untrue. these stories are HUMAN ANGLE stories and i have never had of any reporter asking an indigent respondent for funds before a story is aired. yes the electronic news media is still growing-how many private media outfit do we have in Lagos-10,11, compare that number with the rest of the world. In years to come, things will improve. the NBC's draconian laws will be relaxed and people like you will begin to generate news related content and in time the rough edges will be ironed out.No journalist worth his salt would be happy at the large chunk of hours given to music on Nigeria TV; but then generating serious and hardcore news related content is no child's play. but the above mentioned allegation friend, is untrue.

@sagamite

Further more, I think the trash journalists don't usually meet the standard of their primary audience in a lot of cases. For example what is the point or how does it satisfy your audience by reporting on teachers striking over none implementation of the TSS without even detailing what the TSS entails in regards to package? What is the current package of teachers and what package are they fighting for at each grade? That is just useless journalism.

In regards to CNN, they can get away with it (although it is bad practice) because most of their audience (who must be a bit well off to be able to afford CNN) would be familiar with this popular institutions through movies and TV programmes they watch frequently. So they are satisfying their audience.

I doubt CNN would be reporting on an environment agency and not specifically outline its name.

u call this CNN style; standard reporting. balderdash, BBC is king of world news any day. By the way, worldwide mainstream newspapers and tabloid sales have dipped because most INTERNATIONAL consumers are fed-up with your defined WORLD CLASS JOURNALISM and hitch-hiked to online media like huffington post, etc. you're outside this country and expect to know the entire details of the TSS. my friend you don't expect to find the details in the online version of a local daily!! the information my brother is everywhere and we for NAIJA don't need movies to educate us. and finally PUNK, the freedom of information bill is what you should be concerned about; it would go a long way in curing your jaundiced paucity of day to day happenings in your country

nice reply, but then the quality of pictures so far have been abysmal

LOOOL, breeze don open FOWL YANSH DON OPEN. this astro turf no get drainage. FIFA talk say na AFRICAN THING and you talk say no be be disgrace

well can't stop rain dude. but the enugu pitch was waterlogged; shouldn't have been. Before the rains, that pitch was suspect. WE DEMAND A PROBE

remember the movie. LOST.

I was referring to the national dailies where majority are poor and useless journalists. Most of the good ones are in solid publications like Newswatch etc or are freelance Columnists and these are the ones winning awards. Most of these awards I bet would be for bravery rather than intellectual contribution anyway.

What bloody time do you need to spend in a newsroom before you engage your brain to know it makes sense to identify a location to your audience rather than just state that it is "Owen Road".

well the PULLITZER prize, amigo is unadulterated genius and intellect. Azu of Punch is on CNN's INTELLECTUAL board which decides AFRICA'S PRINT JOURNALIST of the year and doubles as a fantastic columnist and editor. My brother if you've never been in the newsroom; you are no CHEF. You pick out three stories of out a million articles churned out weekly and monthly and say SOME NIGERIAN JOURNALISTS are morons. the question for a slowpoke will be is the story accurate? yes it is. he failed to mention where. but then that is a single omission when he is scored well in other aspects of the law of inquiry. And then someone has rightly pointed out; Bode George was not jailed for fraud or theft rather because he failed to adhere to a government ceiling of contract approvals, the judge said. "you cannot be more catholic than the pope". so my friend without being in the newsroom you have failed cardinal point 1 of fair journalism. GET YOUR INFORMATION RIGHT BEFORE BEFORE YOU BLAH BLAH. and finally neither your poll or title suggest that you aren't skewed anyway

@ sagamite.see the polls you put. How are you faring.looooooooool

me i dey kill the sound and then play ERNEST OKONKWO'S old commentaries. it's better than live.AIT and NTA dey kill me with grammer.eg A BLASTER NO 10 SHIRTED JERSEY, LOOOOOOOOOL. HE BALOONS THE BALL, NO CAUSE FOR ALARM, LOOOOOOOOOOL

i spoke to the president of the senate, 3 years ago and this is what he had to tell me, http://connectafrica./2009/10/19/who-killed-dele-giwa/. the long and short of it is this; the electorate can hardly get the politicians to do anything for them, the journalists my brus lacks the motivation and support from a cuban-styled public in ensuring social justice. the end result is this; more activists trade kid punches on the pages of blogs and new media. wise up naija

by the way why is this tardy post on the front page. Seun, what are the parameters in showboating a post;maybe its time we debated on what posts go on the front page

And u'd be honest. more than 90% of threads here take their base from mainstream media. so when you start your TV, radio and Print media. allow everyone the benefit of critiquing, otherwise be SILENT

@ poster, sharrap ur dirty mouth. even if the fella failed to include the details you highlighted it doesn't in anyway mean Nigerian journalists are useless. after several Nigerian journalists have nicked awards at the international stage, .pulitzer prices,CNN awards etc and a handful have been jailed, maimed or killed in ensuring tonzos like you get HALFBAKED news. Friend do you know what the freedom of information bill is. Did you know Dele Giwa, Baguda Kaltho or Bayo Ohu, So think twice before you start to blab your mouth. one day spent in a newsroom should be adequate orientation for you in realizing what it means to hold the 4th estate of the realm

And i saw the game in Enugu earlier on and i wondered what's going on

iran and colombia match suspended due to bad rain
