FACTCHECK: Was Kwara Governor Chased Away By Decamping APC Members? by Afonja2: 12:40pm On Aug 09, 2022 |
I will like to address this post to Seun especially and other members of Nairaland management. As 2023 elections draw close, there is a need to be circumspect in the types and manners of posts you validate and push to the frontpage of the popular platform. There is no doubt that most of Nairaland moderators are either sympathisers of Peter Obi or they have been bought over. A quick look at the frontpage will easily reveal this. Any post that tries to mock Bola Tinubu or APC easily finds its way to the frontpage whereas nearly all the posts about Obi on the frontpage are pro-Labour Party man. However, in their attempt to appear balanced, they push one or two pro-Tinubu posts and the same number of anti-Obi posts to the frontpage. No one is fooled by this. I understand that Nairaland is a business venture and I have started seen Obi adverts on the platform. This however does not invalidate the fact that a news medium should be fair, objective and unbiased on all issues. We should not also forget that there is Cybercrime Act 2015 which regulates what is obtainable in Nigeria's cyberspace. Except Nairaland treads softly, it may soon run foul of the act. The idea that Nairaland is a faceless forum does not give it (and members) the liberty to bully or say anything negative about individuals with no consequence thereof. We are all aware of the steps being taken by Instagram to check the excesses of Gistlovers Blog on their platform. Instagram has deactivated many accounts of Gistlovers in the past, for running foul of their rules. Nairaland can not be an exception. If indeed you want to regulate your members and check their excesses (faceless or not), there are many new innovate ways you can employ to do this. I will tell you one. Members currently register with email address. How about reviewing the registration and membership process to include their Phone Numbers? With this, members will realised that they could be traced if occasion demands and will be responsible with what they post on the platform. Now, let me specifically address the essence of this post. Kwara State Governor was allegedly booed and chased away by decamping APC members in the state. I find this post unprofessional and distasteful. I am surprised that moderators were quick to push it to the frontpage despite that it was posted with no reliable source. 1. The post was made by a certain member called Newsgist24 (https://www.nairaland.com/newsgist24/). This guy has been confirmed to be a sympathiser of Peter Obi. I expect your moderators to check the antecedents of posters before pushing their posts to the frontpage, especially if it contains no reliable link/source. A quick check on this guy's profile will reveal that all his political posts are anti-APC and pro-Obi. Except your moderators are culpable, this simple task should not be a rocket science to them. 2. A quick factcheck on the video revealed that, that event actually took place about four years ago during the 2019 gubernatorial elections. One can see from the video (see the link below) that those who booed and chased away the then Gubernatorial candidate of APC (now Kwara State Governor) were not decamping APC members but supporters of Kwara State PDP strongman, Bukola Saraki. See the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQf-T-98xjI Yesterday, Kwara State Government also released a statement to dispute this, as seen below: Yesterday afternoon, August 7, 2022, some opposition figures sought to trend a video in which thugs and supporters of former Senate President Bukola Saraki threw caution to the wind and disrupted an event held on 26th December 2018 by the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU) at the Emir of Ilorins Palace. This video showed the Saraki crowd, known in those years for intimidating people, heckling the then governorship candidate of APC AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as he gave his remarks at the community event in the presence of the Emir and dignitaries from the Emirate. https://www.facebook.com/followkwsg I hope Seun and Nairaland will do the needful and avoid running foul of the law. I am aware that government is monitoring the activities of the forum with a view to do the needful. Let us make hay before it is too late. Seun 1 Like 2 Shares |

Afonja2:Who booed government officials are always tagged as thugs of political opponent. Very soon, if Nigeria government refuse to change, hunger and suffering will make people to start booing and stoning government looters. |

The only solution to this problem is for all members here to add their mobile phone numbers and it must be mandatory. 1 Like 1 Share |
