Nigerians being disingenuous 101
1. You write an article saying "2+2 is 4".
2. They "debunk" it by responding "How can a "journalist" claim that 3+3 is 5?! False allegation!"
They avoid engaging what you said an instead invent a strawman to knock down. Very interesting.

I have read no fewer than 9 attempted "responses" to my rigorously-researched and fact-checked stories about @DrIsaPantami, and every single one of them made no mention whatsoever of anything in the stories.
They just completely sidestepped them and went off on a tangent.

Completely ignored:
1. Audiovisuals and text translations of Sheikh Pantami saying things that objectively align him with terrorists.
2. Evidence that he studied at the Islamic University of Medina (a global terror recruitment hotspot) under ultra-conservative Salafist clerics

3. His long and publicly available history of violent extremism at ATBU, Bauchi, including a Wikileaks cable confirming his ouster from ATBU for extremism.
4. His decision to give exclusive livestreaming rights for Federal Government events to an Islamic TV channel @AfrikiyTv

5. His attempt to obfuscate by claiming that his extremism was a teenage phase, whereas there are recordings of him praising Osama bin Laden and the Taliban, and praying for the failure of the secular Nigerian state at age 33 in 2006.
6. The Deji Adeyanju Facebook "hack" fiasco.

No mention of any of these things.
Instead, they all trot out the same tired bullshit about "He was accused of being on a terror watchlist but the news medium retracted the story and apologised, therefore every criticism of him is motivated by Islamophobia."
Shut up abeg.
