Stop endorsing denigration of Nigeria, Lai Mohammed urges media

“In simple English, the Nigerian press has a watchdog role assigned to it by the framers of our Constitution. Please note the catchphrase, WATCHDOG.

“The idea of the Nigerian media, especially the traditional media, regurgitating anything and everything published or reported by its foreign counterpart is totally antithetical to its reputation of independence and vibrancy. The Nigerian media does itself a great disservice by turning itself into an echo chamber of the foreign media.

“When The Economist reported its patently-wrong and badly-researched story, it was immediately amplified by the local media, without even interrogating its content? This is totally unconscionable! For example, The Economist reported that the Jihadist threat in the North-east has ‘metastasized’, and everyone knows that this is totally inaccurate. Prior to the time it was dislodged, which was before Dec.

Mohammed went on to ask, “Would the British or American press regurgitate a report in the Nigerian press denigrating their militaries?” He continued, “Gentlemen, I do not believe that the Nigerian media hates this country, neither will I agree that the media does not appreciate our military. But I appeal to you to stop endorsing the denigration of our country, our military, our institutions by some unscrupulous foreign media. By regurgitating their inaccurate stories about Nigeria, you are endorsing their stand. The Nigerian media was mandated to be a watchdog, not a lapdog.

When you introduced fake news in 2014, you think it won’t bounce back to you later

By lying to everyone you are already endorsing Nigeria’s degradation

Una nor get better pic of this man and his proverbial thinking cap?

And that’s something you can’t stop Nigerians from doing, we do this everywhere

D media narrative are control by Africa diaspora ethnic extremist media outlets & reinforce to d Nigeria public using their thousand social media influencers who indirectly influence d local media 2 propagate d fake news as they do not want 2 b left out from d traffic generated

Shey wetin u and ur Boss don disintegrate already
