1.Those of you insulting @MBuhari for speaking more to international media can see how effective they are more inclined in raising deep conversations that warrant changes in our society through investigative journalism and not the sensational rumour and gossip journalism being

2. Practiced by local media houses like @vanguardngrnews @MobilePunch @AIT_Online and @channelstv who pick up on verified information from bus drivers, drinking spots ,gossip at hairdressing saloons, @Twitter ,Facebook or Instagram releasing it as BreakingNews!!

3. Months after Federal Government introduced a financial guidelines for direct deposit of Local Government allocation to their accounts through the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU),none of the useless local media house have thought it wise to carry out investigation

4. To truly uncover if the policy is being implemented by the Federal,State or Local Government and how impactful is this new directive in shaping development at the grassroots ?
The job of media as the Fourth Estate Of the Realm is nt to promote Fake News like @vanguardngrnews

5. Nor spend weeks discussing sensational & unproductive stories a usual trade mark of @sunrisedailynow @aitkakaaki & @CTVpolitics ,bt raising positive conversation that will encourage changes in policies & also monitor such policy changes through investigative journalism.

6. You hear @seunokin saying "a lot of Nigerians are of the opinion" and you keep asking yourself ,how did he arrive at that conclusion?
Nigeria media contributed more in dividing us along religious & ethnic like wit unverified reports especially criminalizing Fulani ethnic group

7. The time has come for the media in Nigeria to look inwards,play their role in helping government and society in building that nation we all desire through simple adherence to the ethics of the noble profession of journalism which investigative journalism is key.

8. The @nbcgovng shouldnt be a toothless bulldog and worthless institution in all this.

Kudos to @BBCAfrica again for another expose through investigative reporting and hope more will follow.

God Bless Nigeria.
