Let's pause & think. Did @jidesanwoolu lie? Did anyone die at the protest ground? Where are the dead? Where are their families? Were there shootings? Yes. Injured? Yes. Massacre? No! Did we fall for a lie that gave room for the destruction of Lagos? #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeraNOW
Steve ABBEY did not die. Photo of him was circulated on twitter. He debunked the story himself. He is fine. Eniola Badmus allegedly shot in the stomach. Eniola was not shot and is very fine. Has anyone called her? I need help on the REAL ones who died at Lekki, please
@Lucasbashir56 wrote "Onyiye Francis has made clarification on a post by Yemi Alade about a man carrying a dead lady wrapped in Nigerian flag. She said it was a movie they acted themed, "Heal our land, OH LORD! Iraoya Godwin said he didn't die and there was a mix-up" Let's think
Comrade Anthony Okechukwu did not die at the protest ground. He was not shot by the soldiers. He died in a motorcycle accident. Go and find out. May his soul rest in peace, amen 😥 💔
An average Lagos Island resident will not dare break into the Oba Palace. Who kills policemen in such manner; stabbed in the eye... 💔. Who hijacked the peaceful protests in Lagos? Why destroy critical state & national infrastructures? Hello, Lagos is under attack! #ProtectLagos

Every sector of our national life is enmeshed in corruption. Tell me which one that's free? As you try to fix it, you have those who pretend to be helping to fix it, destroy it. Now, it looks we no longer have Boko Haram. It's now "bandits" and that's a lucrative business.
Sadly, we are told ransoms aren't paid. So, what's the incentive for the almost weekly business of kidnapping our school pupils? For fun or money? Why would anyone even try hard to rationalise these acts? Would this be happening if leaders have their children in those schools?
Take the Power Sector as an example. Isn't a simple logic that any business that's trying to give better service and make a profit will embrace any technology that will guard against loss? Why are ALL the DISCOs against metering? Aren't they profiting from the lack of it?
Dear colleagues, did you notice that the US media at a point all began to do the RIGHT thing to save its democracy? When Trump lies, he's cut off & say he's lying. That's how the media should be. At a point, even "his" FOX News grudgingly joined in.
The media as the most powerful JUDGE & has ensured democracy is ENTHRONED. It's high time we got our acts together. Owners must CONSTANTLY train staff. Staff must ALWAYS remain professional. 2023 beckons...another litmus test. Seize the moment & be counted!
Doing the RIGHT thing isn't same as taking sides. Yes, our politicians will try to blackmail you that you're bias and taking sides. Don't fall for it. Don't air or publish lies. Research & point their lies out. Tell your audience the truth even when they come telling lies.
Many have reached out to me asking about my views on the insults hurled by my friend FFK on a colleague of mine. I had tried to reply as many as I could. Allow me share here my thoughts. FFK was really out of order. At best he should have refused to answer or give an answer
Then all journalists present also goofed! They were a bunch of chickens 🐔. They chickened out. You only do that because you have been so unprofessional about your job that you were blinded by what you get or what you were going to get!
How dare you sit and apologise for doing your job? For the many years I invited FFK on tv or published his works or news about him, not a kobo was given. Not one! For not staging a walk out or taking him on that singular issue of making him answer that question, the entire bunch
