A Nigerian press tragedy (1)

The wielder becomes venomous, armed to the teeth. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many a journalist have been chewed upon and spat out, like putrid primeval desert, by employers, friends, and family.

The staff of a southern newspaper lamented how she was ridiculed by her siblings. Afterward, her mother made her younger sister replace her at the head of the table during a family dinner because her sister who is wife to an internet fraudster , single-handedly financed their late dad’s funeral. They showed the journalist, that, honour is earned and best given to the child whose goatskin feeds the family.

Some journalists, who smartly pitched tents with politicians and corporate organisations have it better but this lot eventually mutates from society’s watchdogs to society’s lapdogs, to Nigeria’s detriment. The curious character, driven by a frantic desire to impoverish his editorial staff, imposed paltry salaries upon them. He subscribes to the predatory logic that recommends impoverishment of journalists by their employers, to prevent them from getting “too comfortable,” “too objective,” and “too ethical” – a starving, underpaid journalist is forever subservient and desperate to play dumb, predators would say.

I argued that with adequate experience, fiscal, and management training, a journalist could run any business. For instance, the newspaper I cited in previous paragraphs, made profit, and went ahead to acquire properties to the chagrin of its publisher.
