I watched a video that circulated on major Nigerian blogs yesterday, where a young girl was buried alive and stoned to death. They claimed the girl was one of the kidnapped school girls. I doubted the claim but I was appalled by the barbarism. You see, I hate black market journalism. And I believe, even as blogs, these sites owe their followers a duty to always inform them and not spurn falsehood just to get traffic directed to their sites.
Personally, I take everything coming from a most Nigerian
blogs with a pinch of salt; only two or three have earned my
confidence.
The truth: That video
first surfaced on the internet as far back as 2008. And it was released
by Al shabab terrorists in Somalia.
My
advice: Most blogs in Nigeria are interested in traffic, So they tell
you what you want to hear. Read less of blogs.....Nigerian blogs.
