On The Alleged CNN Ireport About Buhari's Probe Of Harlibuton Scandal by socialmediaman: 10:01am On Aug 12, 2015
This is a reaction to the alleged CNN ireport that made frontpage this morning: https://www.nairaland.com/2519816/cnn-investigates-why-buhari-dumped/2#36870336

Its no news or surprise the extent to which the opposition and critics of the Buhari government are willing to go in spreading falsehood and preying on gullible minds for the sole aim of putting pressure on Buhari's government to back down on its anti-corruption stance.

On the alleged report, firstly, visiting the ireport CNN website, you will see a disclaimer clearly written on this questionable report by CNN (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1259469) which reads:

CNN PRODUCER NOTE CNN iReport is the network’s user-generated news community. The stories here come from our audience and are not edited, fact-checked or screened before they post. If you think this iReport violates our community guidelines, please tell us by clicking on the "This is Inappropriate" button below. You can learn more about how iReport works on our About page. http://ireport.cnn.com/about.jspa

This clearly shows that this news was neither reported nor investigated by CNN. It was clearly the work of a person who has no way of getting any credible news media to investigate or clarify the questionable report, and the best the individual could do was run to the CNN ireport community to propagate falsehood. For the avoidance of doubt, anyone can report anything on CNN ireport website, just like anyone can report anything on nairaland website.

It will also interest you to know that this questionable report possibly has its roots from a vanguard news report on August 29, 2012 titled: Buhari Dares IBB, at a time when Buhari was a presidential aspirant under the platform of CPC. At that point, Buhari had dared IBB to expose any corruption facts he (IBB) had on him (Buhari) while also accusing IBB and other leaders of being the ones who destroyed this country. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/corruption-buhari-dares-ibb/

There are also insinuations that Kashim Afegbua who was implicated in this questionable news report no longer works for IBB


Conclusion
The alleged news report is misleading and should be dismissed as the work of propagandists and has nothing at all to do with CNN as it was not edited, fact-checked or screened before it was published on the ireport community website.

God Bless Nigeria

The truth will always set you free, CNN or BBC to me they are all the same, cuz they are the promoters of the western world and the new modern day slavery, PMB is on course, thousand of the likes of IBB and co will not dare to touch the "Man of the Moment". Imagine a corporation like CNN allowing this kind of twisted rubbish to be published on their site? With only a disclaimer!!!! Haba, if it's Saharareporters or PremiumTimes people will cry foul but fail to critisis this demon that always advocate whiteMan superiority. I live in naija, I can only believe news from naija media which I can readily verified.

I expected you to comment on the veracity or otherwise of the report and not to start blabbing whether it is from CNN or not!! Unless you can counter that report with tangible proof that Buhari is not doing away with the probe of the halliburton scam that report will remain on the CNN

Well, the Internet has serves as a free information and uploading tool. Anyone can post anything about anybody and it will go viral in minutes. the downside is that propagandists can use it as a tool for peddling false a.d misleading news.

In this age of shabby journalism and consumer-friendly controversial news it is important to separate work done by reputable journalists who have done their investigation and separate from an op-ed or article written by someone who hasn't fact-checked thoroughly.

Although, free access to information has also brought to light some hidden agenda by powerful people who can sway the news in their favour. E.g The US government and Edward Snowden.

Was Buhari president in 2012? Is Buhari going ahead with the probe of the halliburton scam?

What is the mendacity in the report? Kindly point that out

With time, we will know if this whistle blower has his article written in fact.
The president can't go about responding to every article written by all and sundry.
If, in fact the case has been buried. Then the truth will eventually come out.

You dey mind the moro!n OP.
He felt the whole report is rubbishing the integrity of Buhari -Mr integrity embarassed
One thing is sure, truth cannot be hidden.
If Buhari will go far with his corruption probe, it must not be selective.
There must be no sacred cow.
A situation whereby only GEJ is singled our for probe will spell a doom for this administration.

The point being disputed in the silly report is where it says PMB dropped the investigation of halliburton scandal and restricted all probes to the last regime out of fear after IBB and OBJ threatened to expose his involvement in the disappearance of $2.8billion and his shady deals as PTF head.


Meanwhile, the ireport was authored by one GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU, probably a Jonathanian writer. This has nothing to do with CNN.
