I think the National Broadcasting Commission thinks that it is either giving great journalism lectures through its circulars dished out from time to time or that it is discharging its assignment of electronic media regulation in a politically correct fashion. What it is doing is what I call “NBC’s Peculiar Journalism 101,” the ABC of our noble profession given in a manner that sounds weird.

This document seeks to invent new rules for journalism practice. It seeks to take something away from FOBAC, especially the quality of a story’s completeness or comprehensiveness. It also seeks to deprive a story of the ability to answer the six questions embedded in Five Ws and H. Once that happens journalism would have been reduced to pure rabble-rousing, the kind of thing that you can find in some of the social media platforms.

At present what most reasonable Nigerians seem to want is a country that is fair and just to all concerned, not several handkerchief sized countries. I am not interested in separatism but I am interested in fairness, equity and justice and it is the failure to guarantee these values that leads people to want to opt out of this ramshackle federation by referendum or rebellion.
