admin

This is known all over the world to be electioneering period in Nigeria. As a result, citizens trooped out en-masse to exercise their civic duties casting their votes for their preferred aspirants in the presidential, senate and house of representative elections.

However, the exercise did not go without a high level attendant of violence in some parts of the country, and this resulted to loss of lives and properties in those areas.

To this end, Nigerian actress, and social activist, Georgina Onuoha has called out American news-based pay television channel, Cable News Network (CNN) saying its biased in its news coverage. The mom-of-2 questioned why the media house known to always be abreast of situations world over, would look the other way while innocent Nigerian citizens who went about exercising their civic duties were being gunned down. She opined that CNN’s action towards Nigeria is morally wrong.

“CNN why are you guys not covering the elections in Nigeria where innocent citizens trying to exercise their civic rights are be gunned down? Nigeria ???????? is the biggest democracy in Africa with almost 200 million people, yet you guys have no decorum and are only interested in Valenzuela. It’s a shame. Is it because we are Africans? Or you have selected democracies you cover? This is morally wrong. @cnn @cnnpolitics @cnninternational @cnnafrica @donlemoncnn @andersoncooper @chrisccuomo @danabashcnn cover this fraud and killings happening in Nigeria ????????. @jaketapper @abbydphillip @brookbcnn @ryanobles @laurajcnn @jimacosta @k_jeanpierre @alisyncamerota @pamelabrowncnn @briannakeilar @samanthavinograd @angelarye @broyal12. Tag them, call them out. This is not okay.
Please Note: All those saying @cnn covered the Nigerian Election please know that the CNN you watch in Nigeria and Europe is different from what is aired in North America. Some get it straight. @cnninternational seen by all in Europe and Africa is different from what is aired in the US and the whole of North America.”
