Mainstream media in US and Europe ha's been propaganda machine for ages. Setting narratives to suit global cabal influence. It took the warrior in Donald Trump to expose their hypocrisy and manipulation of the general public. That's the reason Trump address them as Fake News and the Enemy of the People. And truly they are. They have destroyed nations and you have masquerades speaking through them. The likes of CNN, CNBC, CBS, Washington Post, Huffington Post, BBC are the worst. Too bad Nigerians still depend on these channels to source their news

Kai! When one sees supposedly educated Africans venerating Dotard Trump then the shit-holing of Africa becomes understandable. SMH undecided

The instinct of many Africans towards authoritarianism rears its ugly head again... sad

Ironically, the most effective antidote against so-called “fake news” is exposure to sunlight - while countering it with real news.

Ogbeni shut up angry the western media have always been showing us sh*t about third world countries never revealing the positive side angry and Nigeria is a victim but we are too stupid to realize it yet, why do you think the whites believe that Africans still live in huts and trees, they think we are the same with countries like Kenya where people have to trek miles to get water undecided

You just sounded like a hypocrite, who told u Kenya live in huts or trek miles to fetch water, just because there r villages like that doesn't make the country like that.. you can as well say Nigerians live in huts, u can find them in our villages

BBC and VOA have NEVER been fair to Africa. It's all negative reports and bad news all the time.

Africans MUST stand their ground and not take any sh*t from foreign media who hide their own dark sides and emphasize that of Africa.

If you can't report with fairness, "GERROUT" !

A country whose leader has guts and leadership qualities. Here in Nigeria, they'll have said the 'govt is talking to the BBC and VOA and will arrive at a compromise soon.'

I disagree with you, you are not being sincere, if Nigeria government does same you would definitely call Buhari a tyrant.

And you believe the Burundi Government that rules its people against their will, jail and enslave them are doing the right thing? What do you think dictators do? Do you think they'd sit back and allow journalists expose their excesses? Maybe you should move to Burundi, I bet you won't stay a day.

What the world need is freedom, freedom of the press included. What happened to freedom of speech?

Some weeks ago, there was an article that went viral globally about an African, Mansa Musa, the wealthiest person ever lived. This's historically correct.

Few days ago, the BBC ran a counter programme suggesting that it was a bogus claim and that an African couldn't have been the wealthiest person ever lived. It was then I realized the main aim of the station is for neo-colonialism. The BBC is just a tool for neo-colonialism and not really about news. I gave it a thought over the past 2 days and discovered their modus operandi ever since is to mix up credible news with massive British propaganda and its done in such a way that it runs seamlessly such that you have no idea where the news ends and where the propaganda begins.

''Everything in European culture supports the quest for world domination''............. Marimba Ani.

So where did BBC assert that an African cannot be the richest individual of in history?

What are you saying ? Just last year, the Police in U.S killed 1190 people. Most of them are African americans. Did BBC make this a huge fuse the way they would if just one person dies in any African country ? Most times they are the cause of the death. Pushing one side(Usually their puppet) as against the real goverment of the country. Aren't they doing the same thing in Syria as we speak. Do you know how many ppl have died in Syria ? They have just started the same mantra in Venezuela. Do you know how long they have been doing this with African countries ? Did this crookie medias not join hands in spreading massive fake news during GEJ boko haram saga too. Boko haram that is western backed organization.. If GEJ killed Boko haram too much they will use Amnesty international to say he's killing the civilians which even made the leader of the anglozoo(U.S.A) to put Nigeria on its Ban list of countries it wont sell arms too. (How can they sell you arms to kill their Proxies).

Meanwhile, it was via one fakenews or show of fakenews put up by the same Boko haram branch. Amnesty international was used to back Boko haramites the same way they are using White helmets in Syria.

So tell me, what point do you have again ? if for anything. The anglozionist empire is the biggest dictator ever. They even say it to your face that they are exceptional. This is not even fake news.. What are you getting at or when did Freedom of speech turn to freedom to spread fakenews like there is no toilet paper anymore in Venezuela. It's even worse what they spread sometimes in many Africa countries.

Mind you, African countries are testing grounds for all of these social mass killings and what have you in the end.

I am sure you're talking about a different show and not the one I cited. The one I am talking about could be found at https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3cswk3s ,and it begins with a pessimistic caption: Is the West African king, Mansa Musa, the richest person who ever lived?

From 05:18, the host goes ''was he the richest man of all time?'' Where did this title all begin?

She answered ''if you searched google using the term Mansa Musa richest before 2012, you'll find a few references of him being the richest of Muslim kings or Mali being the richest in Africa. But in 2012 Mansa Musa suddenly became big news not because of historical research but because of an article on a US website celebritynetworth.com. This is a website that publishes list; like, the 50 richest.''

The host then ridiculed celebritynetworth.com and made a joke of it being a common gossip site. The ridicule ends at 06:26.

Then she called in a guest named Ms. Kerry, a supposed expert in world's rich list and she also ridiculed celebritynetworth.com for not being a serious publication.

Once they concluded on what they wanted YOU to believe, the host concludes ''there's no real reason to trust the $400 Billion figure (Mansa Musa's worth). But even if we could come up with a better figure, there'll still be a problem comparing it with the wealth of people on Kerry's list.''

Who are the people on Kerry's list? Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg!

And finally, both the host and guest took turn to unleash massive brainwashing trumped up lines, such as ''there was no way of knowing Mansa Musa's worth'', and that even if his worth is known that it won't be greater than that of people like the king of Saudi Arabia today, of course, in comparison to Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg. But she don't understand that's an anachronism!. Mansa Musa lived about 700 years ago!!. Capitalist as an economic system wasn't there at that time, so the wealthiest at that time would always have been a royal.

Note: If they wanted to give proper information to the world, they didn't have to rely upon celebritynetworth.com because many ancient travelers; like Ibn Battuta, Persians and probably other Arabs, wrote about Mansa Musa. They could have quoted historical sources only, but of course, they knew that would give it credibility, which naturally they won't want as it would lift up the souls of black people and probably get us conscious. George Orwell told them, don't do anything to get the colonies conscious because, he said ''when they get conscious, they'll rebel.''

I don't know when Africans would come to the understanding that Britain and all the other colonialists remain our enemy!. Its time Africans wake up and understand the nature of Europeans. These people, using what we call education have hacked into the minds of Africans implanting whatever they want. Its time to cut all ties with the archons!.

Do you follow BBC? I doubt. I go through their website every hour of the day and I can solidly tell you they cover those murders you've talked about.

Now you are saying BBC owns Amnesty International, wow.

What happened to Press Freedom? We all be saying Africa be too poor, Burundi be way too poor and damaged and Nkirunziza has made sure he put a seal over his peoples lips, ensuring the world never hears their voices no more by banning their only means of expressing themselves, and you think that's fair.

I'm sorry I aint gonna ride with that
