Challenges of Media and Realities of Government. BY: Vince Onyekwelu
The media, journalists and social influencers should not be tagged as using tribal and or ethnic nuances without addressing and untagging the seemingly tribal and or ethnic intentional, programmed and structural biases in regional/religious recruitment, promotion, posting, retirement and leadership in governance, government and especially amongst security agencies personnel.
It is possible that the media, journalists and social influencers are humanly and or naturally responding to the stubbornly, formed, creative-narratives that only a specific tribe and or ethnicity “region/religion”, in Nigeria has the academic sagacity to manage the leadership of security agencies and security infrastructures of Nigeria, when we have the academic statistics of all Nigerians as a guide to academic prowess in the past decades etc.
Idiomatically, when parents with poor parenting etiquette choose the cain, as their only tool to correct children, such parents shoud enjoy the cries of the children as their only tool to protest their innocence.
On one hand, as much as better training will be helpful and needful to suppprt improvements in journalists use of languages, on the other hand those in the corridors of power need to open the security infrastructure leadership space to all Nigerains using Equality, Equity and Justice, rather than using, Inequality, Iniquity and Injustice.
After all, an African proverb stated that “he who intentionally brings home ant-infested firewoods, should not question the gods, why lizards frequently pay him visits”.
