Policy can be seen in an encapsulate point of view as- what government had done, doing or intending to do ( it's very unfortunate that the "things" they DID (development) they are UNDOING it today- privatization and commercialization).
Howbeit, in every policy formulation process, there are governmental actors and non governmental actors that serves as a catalyst to the passage of every policy in order to solve "peoples problems".
Nigerian media was a key instrument during the clamour for " self-government" ( before independence); but it is disheartening today to know they are the enemies of the people they use to represent through their propaganda and hypocritical journalism.
It is no more a joke that the surge in journalism in Nigeria is not for the sake of the people neither are they ready to be exposing corrupt Nigerians, it is crystal clear that journalism today has become the most populous profession that fasten the political appointment of some in the profession.
The Presidential Aspirant of AAC (Africa Action Congress), "His Excellency" Omoyele Sowore recently lambasted the media for not publishing his campaign tour to Kano, Sokoto and Katsina in a press interview (if it were to be corrupt leaders the media would have given them publicity he lamented).
The arrest of journalists is not something that should astound any good and logical citizens anymore, most of them are still the reason politicians are in office.
The effect of true journalism is never felt in the lives of Nigerians.
The exception in the field of activism/journalism are: Femi Falana (SAN), Omoyele Sowore the founder Sahara reporter and Ahmed Isah A.K.A ordinary president the founder of Brekete family/human right radio) to mention but few.
I am calling on journalists and Nigerians, it is time to get our country working again.
Have understanding for you to be outstanding .
