Pls read ur post again nd identify ur grammatic errors, nd ur here lafin @ d man. I can bet dat u dnt know ur companys website , dats if u even hv a job. Dat ws mor like an interrogation and not an interview by channels crew

Stallion84: It breaks my heart when our generation don't look beyond what is actually wrong and regard everything as a joke. When they attribute a societal failure to personal misfortune. How many people bothered to watch the whole length of the program and comment on how the gentleman was eloquent and sound in giving answers to the operational questions asked. The answers shows he actually knows his job role and was able to enlighten the public on what civil defense is all about, the role in the society, operations and a whole lot more. Even Bill Gates cannot answer all questions about microsoft. It is agreed that his method of evading the question was rather immature, but the Channels crew member made a whole mess of the whole program as if the guest was nothing.
We are talking professional journalism here and that is not how it is done. Is it that all Generals in Nigeria know the Nigeria Army website?? Does that make them less a general? The sarcasm shown by the crew in the repeating a wrong answer was directed for public molestation. It is wrong. No one is an omniscient and for a guest that has done well so far, he doesn't deserve how he was treated. Channels tv did not re-broadcast where he answered their questions professionally, rather they chose to cut a clip of ridicule and tweet around.
I don't expect most people to agree with me here because the hilarious part has clouded their judgement but channels crew needs to tender an apology.

About JEREMY PAXMAN
Jeremy Dickson Paxman(the interviewer) is an English journalist, author and broadcaster. He has worked for the BBC since 1977, and is known for his forthright and abrasive interviewing style, particularly when interrogating political office holders. His regular appearances on the BBC2's Newsnight programme have been criticised as aggressive, intimidating and condescending, and also applauded as tough and incisive.

One of paxman's greatest clip was his interview with chloe smith, a junior minister in the treasury department. Jeremy Paxman likes nothing more than the opportunity to grill a poorly briefed junior minister who has been dumped in it by her boss.
She was put up by the Treasury to explain why the government had been so implacably opposed to delaying the fuel duty rise on Monday but had reversed gear so rapidly on Tuesday. chloe was seriously ridiculed by paxman and Senior politicians, including John Prescott and Nadine Dorries questioned Osborne's(treasury minister) judgement for sending a junior minister onto the programme in place of himself
(watch the video on youtube):Paxman interviews hapless minister Chloe Smith on Newsnight 26.06.2012 - Excruciating to watch

But Smith is not the first and certainly not the last to have felt the discomfort of being asked the same unanswerable question over and over again by Paxman.

The most FAMOUS is Paxo's interview with MICHAEL HOWARD in which he asked the then home secretary the same question 12 times over the dismissal of the governor of Parkhurst Prison, John Marriott. The interview in 1997 did DAMAGE Howards reputation and STALLED HIS POLITICAL AMBITION, although he did eventually become leader of the Conservative Party in 2004 but lost the 2005 General Election to Tony Blair. After that he decided to retire from politics and I suspect that this interview will haunt him for years to come.


I askd u a simple question " y was it taggd infamous" nd ur here givin me history, nw wots d difference btw u nd d man. Hu told u d interview on howard ws famous. It ws infamous nd dats y I askd u d earlier question.

blue eyes1: Totally agree with Ruggedman. Those presenters just ridiculed d man,it was obvious he didn't kno it,so why make a show out of it? Mtcheeew

Jarus: I won't call it unprofessionalism, but I agree with Ruggedman that the man was pushed too far. Haba, it was obvious that he didn't have an answer but they kept harping on that question as if they were out to ridicule him.

whiteeyes:

Not true М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ dear! As a good presenter, after phrasing and re-phrasing a question, and not getting a probably anticipated response, Ÿ̲̣̣̣̥ø̲̣̣̥u̶̲̥̅̊ have the power to safe the situation from further aggravation, it is basic presentation skills. There is however an exception to every rule

Jarus: I won't call it unprofessionalism, but I agree with Ruggedman that the man was pushed too far. Haba, it was obvious that he didn't have an answer but they kept harping on that question as if they were out to ridicule him.

Afam4eva: [size=14pt]Ruggedman should shut up and stick to rap. This is not rap matter, so he should leave matter for mathias.When does he know about journalism? Everybody just wants to sound intelligent sha.[/size]

[b]Na wah o!

When I read things like this, I start to wonder...

Let us get this matter back into perspective. The man attended an interview that was organised to clear up the air on the recruitment scams that has rocked the organisation that he is in charge of. I am very certain that this must have been made known to him prior to attending the interview. Now I would expect that someone who is coming for such interview would have the following ammo in his arsenal;

1. The way and manner in which these scams have been operating.

2. How to avoid getting roped into such scams.

3. What to do when you find out you have been a victim of such a scam.

4. The numbers to call to report such scams.

5. The scam websites (if any) and how to detect and avoid them.

6. The legit website for job applicants to use and the security features on the website to look out for.

Now things like the function of his organisation, the steps they have taken to curb this scam, those arrested in connection with the scam, e.t.c should all be second nature to him.

So he comes on the interview poorly prepared. He didn't answer any questions that he was asked without first deflecting it and sending on to his 'Oga at the top'. He failed to clear up the primary reason for attending the interview which is to solve the employment scandal riddle. Then when pushed to tell the website of his organisation, a question that would have solved virtually everything, he decided to act like a charlatan. If you are focused on the goof, then you are lost. It went beyond the goof. This is as bad as the head of PPPRA being unable to tell us how much the official pump price of petroleum products currently is. That man looked highly unqualified for his position.

The journalists that you are criticising did their jobs. Don't forget that they were acting on behalf of the masses and if that man were in public, he would have gotten worse. Where it would have been unprofessional would have been if the man said; 'I am not too certain about it right now, let me get back to you on that', and still the reporters kept prodding. [/b]

You guys need to focus.. That man is representative of a failed civil service. I have told you here about the P.R.O of the Nigerian Police at Zone 6 Calabar who didn't know what a 'Police Character report' was or how to get it. Don't forget that Zone 6 police station is a Zonal HQ o! He even tried to defraud me by asking me to pay him to write me a letter of recommendation. If I didn't know what it was I was looking for, I would have been scammed. How does a clueless Moro.n become the head of an organisation in Nigeria!?

Please! If anybody should be facing criticism, it should be the "Ogas at the top" for employing such fucktards. Imagine if it were a solo individual that approached that man in private, what kind of information would he give that person!?

Abegi.. Let's all laugh at the matter jor! If it were a truly civilised country, by now, that man would be facing series of verification panels to check his suitability for the position he occupies. That interview might as well have been on CNN. that man embarrassed the Nation. [/b]

ogugua88: [size=13pt]Why should anyone feel sorry for someone who voluntarily opened his mouth to be foolish? Did you all forget Sarah Palin? No one blamed her interviewer. Instead, Palin was held accountable for not doing her homework. If you agree to an interview, then you go there prepared. Interviewers are not there to make anyone look a certain way. The link of your employer's website isn't rocket science. If you don't know it, then say "I don't know. I'll get back to you". End of discussion! He kept running his mouth like he knew, which is why the journalists kept asking. No one was trying to make that man look stupid. He did that by himself.

Ruggedman is out of his mind.[/size]
