NAN BOSS FIRED BACK TO NIGERIANS CRITICIZING HIM

Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, has reacted back at Nigerians that used various social media platforms to carpet him for dismissing reports of hardship in the country under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, and tagging them as mere propaganda.

His previous Facebook post on Tuesday accused the media of over-sensationalization, adding that noisy reports about hardship appeared to be a mere propaganda

The content of the post provoked many Nigerians who came hard on him for allegedly becoming insensitive to the plight of Nigerians after he had clinched political appointment.

Onanuga came for his critics on Friday morning, writing thus: “Lynch-mob, cyber-hyenas, cyber-vandals, character assassins: this is the motley crowd that has seized Nigeria’s social media space, either on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram.

He said;

“It is a mob and functions like any other mob, pouncing on targets, remorselessly, twisting your words to achieve a preconceived end. he rampaging crowd in cyberspace is the opposite of what Mark Zuckerberg and co have in mind in creating communication networks to link friends or people with common interests. Judging by my experience in the last 72 hours, I am no longer surprised why many decent people either closed their accounts on the various platforms or have become inactive.”
