Re: .A bolekaja presidency
Objective! Very objective indeed! These observations are quite valid. I hope others see it this way.
In reality, the mass media is a very powerful tool. People tend to believe that everything in print must be true - just so long as it is in print. Unfortunately it does not work that way. Tommorow, if The News publishes anything untoward about Ribadu, people will take it as the gospel truth without crosschecking facts.
I think it is still too early to draw conjectures on this issue; let us watch events as they unfold. That was how the media was awash with stories about how Pastor Odukoya prayed for kids just before the Sosoliso plane crashed yet if you interview the survivors of the crash, they tell you that they had no clue - nada - not even a pilot warning; the plane just went boom! The government tells you they financed the hospital bills of the survivors??? Big fat lie! The abandoned them leaving oil companies that had no link with the incidentl to struggle with the bills. The government only grabbed political photo opportunities from the catastophe through the media; and for many of us it was simply the gospel truth.
If you believe what the government feeds you, you will end up believing your grandmother must have been gay.
