We've been busy fantasising about Buharis daughter all week, after Boko haram killed thousands in Baga. some were even complaining that the world didn't care bout the massacre in Nigeria. Now that the western media is trying to Bring attention to the killings in Nigeria, we're suddenly taking offence cos someone chipped in a typo!
The west should just leave us alone to kill ourselves, we're savages that are not worth an ounce of anyone's attention

You are a dunce. Where did you get your "thousands killed in Baga" from? You are still dumb enough to think the western media care about you. Moro.n. "Typo" indeed.

atlwireles:


So the Nigerian President should call CNN to order

Oh so u never knew that the Government can do that thru the ministry of information?
What about the rebranding thing that it started? Is it not to make our country's name cleaner?. Think if the Government issue a statement thru that medium (information information) don't u think they will seat up and do the necessary research journalism is known for?.

The job of the Western Media is to create the impression that Boko haram have completely taken over Nigeria. Their goal is to make people the world over believe that Africa is a failed continent. This is what they have been doing. Reason why 99% of their news report about Africa is always negative.

I watched the movie: Lara Croft, the Tomb Raider last week and was set aback by the way they showed our dear continent. They portrayed Africa like a big jungle full of primitive people with nothing except wild animals. Have you noticed the way Lara croft (Angelina Jolie) came to Africa? It was very shameful. They just showed her landing in Africa with a parachute in the bush (A clever attempt to create the impression that Africa has no Airports). Compare that to her visits to China and India in the same movie and you will know that the West derive joy in portraying Africa in bad light.

Very true

Meanwhile Nigerians keep placing these evil demons on a pedestal and worshiping them, when all they show us is hate.

Let's make it #ReportNigeriaCorrectly

This is because this is not restricted to CNN[/size]

Meanwhile #BringBokoHaramToJustice

e don de enter their twitter page...lets make it tend more

CNN is not far from the truth. If Boko Haram is advancing western Nigeria, it is because that is where some of their sponsors have a major stronghold. Ask Thief.nubu and Aregbesola

I think they are indirectly referring to APC.

Most African Americans have never set foot in Africa. The western media is trying to keep it that way for some reason.

The amount of misinformation that the average black American believes to be true about Africa is ASTOUNDING.

90% don't even know that Africa has separate, independent countries. They think it's one huge country with bush and wild animals everywhere. They're the victims of a very precise campaign of propaganda which began during the Civil Rights movement when 100% of black Americans were united against white oppression.
The plan was to keep them here in the states while maintaining the status quo.

CNN deliberately reporting false news about developing countries since 1895......

Abi na dem Oyinbo ppl dey behind BH ni?

Where do you live? I want to shake your hand

I live in the hood in Atlanta. Population demographic is 100% black around here. That's how I figured out that unseen forces have been trying to indoctrinate black people about Africa.

Africa is bad, but the whole continent of Africa doesn't look like a village as the media would like people to believe. They're afraid of the possibility that black Americans might want to contribute. That's why they always describe the continent as a lost cause, so that black Americans can immediately become discouraged from doing anything to help.

Who wants to help people that live in mud huts, and walk around half naked on unpaved roads? Its discouraging. They would need too much help.

Care is taken by the US media to not give out the impression that Africa is making ANY sort of progress in any area.

CNN have outlived their relevance in the media industry,i cant really remenber the last time i tuned in to CNN,not to talk about listening to their lies about Africa propelled by their gealousy about the ammount of resources they have got.in this age of the internet no one depends on the basterdized cnn reporters for anything happening arround the world,we all know how to get along about happenings arround us.

Cwhyte:
Is BH really attacking the western Nigeria?
or CNN reporters just want to condemn the whole of Nigeria?

Maybe they know something you don't.

I remember when Will Smith went to Mozambique to shoot a movie a few years back. He said he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw cars like Mercedes, skyscrapers and well dressed people. "We never see this Africa on TV", he said.

If in this day and age u believe there's a grand conspiracy to keep Africans down, then u have no business living in a first world country. Pack ur bags and come back home and live amongst people that share ur belief that they're condemned to ignorance cos they're African, like the lot here on nairaland.

If ur mother wasn't so ignorant, she'd have thought u that nobody else decides ur own fate but u. She was evidently VERY ignorant. Pele!

ROSSIKE:
It was not an "error". They know perfectly well what they are doing. The other day they claimed 3000 people were killed in Baga by BH when the death toll was actually 150.

I agree with you, a lot of these western media are nothing but an extension of their intelligence services. And they send a lot of subliminal messages, I won't be surprised if the Book Haram insurgency spreads to Western Nigeria, if anyone think these was an error, then you don't know how the western media operates. Like during the ebola scare CNN showed Niger as Nigeria, people thought it was an error. Far from it that was a subliminal message being sent.

But some frontpage topics we see here everyday are not helping the matter either. You hardly go through 15 FP topics in a row without seeing...

Where did this dunce come from? Peabrain, even western analysts regularly report on the anti African bias and negative coverage of the continent. You must be really thick to be typing this garbage.

You know the deal. Sadly many here have no clue.

To the average CNN viewer who has little knowledge of African Geography and security stability, it will be a normal thing to report about issues bothering on Nigerian security from Johannesburg, South Africa.

It is a fact that Islamic Radicals with the name Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'Awati Wal-Jihad also known as Boko Haram has laid siege in the Northern part of Nigeria with their operations affecting popular cities such Abuja, Kano, Bauchi, Yola, Kaduna, Maiduguri as well as towns and villages in their stronghold of North-eastern Nigeria where it declared an Islamic caliphate.

With no boots on ground to produce current videos and pictures, CNN and the West continues to negatively publicise Nigeria as a country and Africa as a continent.

Reports from CNN Newsroom shows a reporter named Diana Magnay reporting Live from Johannesburg, South Africa, giving live updates about over 200 people killed in Borno State, Nigeria by Boko Haram with their corpses littered all over the street without any picture evidence. Is this the reason why we have the media? We all clamour for freedom of speech, freedom of press as well as democracy, yet the objectives of some big media houses is to drag the image of emerging economies into the mud by releasing demeaning reports about these economies.

Nigeria was named the largest economy in Africa after its GDP was rebased, I did not see any report on this by CNN. They have not done any investigative report on how Boko Haram gets its finances as well as how it gets its arms. They have not done anything to help Nigeria as a country and as a place where they generate millions of Dollars in revenue.

Let's try to give Nigeria a good image as well as vote out of office, those who have done nothing to restore the image of Nigeria

Grand conspiracy? It was a conspiracy, during the Civil Rights era, but it has become more of a cultural phenomenon now.
