Journalists are bandits. There is no doubt about it. And if the journalists are Nigerians they, to all intents and purposes, cannot but be the worst bandits who belong to the very worst set and band of bandits anywhere. In fact, the average journalist in this country called Nigeria is more dangerous than the most notorious bandit-journalist or journalist-bandit anywhere in the globe.

Their circumfluous circumspection and perspicacity are still present in the consciousness of the present breed, whose large number of members still imbibe the spirit of the ancient genius . The academic, flippant, ironical, satirical, sharp-tongued, brave spirit and history of old is still very much a prime factor in Nigerian journalism – despite the method of practice and scope of expression and reportage of some practitioners in the print and electronic media.

In other words, they want us to dis-believe the truth that every society produces truth and non-truth. This informed their recent proclamation, so to say, wherein journalists in the electronic media in particular have been forbidden from reporting in any form or guise the activities, successes and foozles of terrorists euphemistically called bandits by the authoritarians and autocrats in the central government.

The bandits terrorizing our people everywhere from the North to the South and from the South to the North must be positively and affirmatively exposed. Their injurious activities must be exposed and examined. We must know their sponsors and collaborators.

You're The Guardian NIGERIA but i understand if you're not tweeting from Nigeria that government house is full of idiots, they probably set u to report from the UK

😁

My morning, day, week, month and year has just been made after reading this article. I pray more wisdom & courage for you all. And may the Lord continue to hide you under his mighty pavilion and the arm of the enemy will not reach you. Thank you for speaking up.
