  • INSIDE STORY: Role of media in shaping public opinion

    INSIDE STORY: Role of media in shaping public opinion

    The media remains one of the strongest tools that influence how people understand events, issues, and decisions in society.

    Many citizens depend on newspapers, radio, television, and online platforms to get information about politics, business, entertainment, and everyday matters.

    This wide reach makes the media a central part of how ideas are formed and shared in many communities.

    In modern times, digital platforms have increased the speed at which news spreads across different social groups.

    This rapid flow of information sometimes shapes how people react to national and global developments.

    The media often sets the topics that citizens discuss by highlighting certain stories more than others.

    When a major event occurs, the level of coverage can affect how seriously the public views that issue.

    Studies show that people tend to see issues that appear often in the news as more important than those that receive little attention.

    This pattern shows why media organisations play a major role in shaping the level of concern attached to certain matters.

    Public opinion can shift when newspapers and broadcasters frame issues using specific angles or background details.

    This process may influence how individuals interpret facts and form personal views about events.

    For instance, when economic reports focus on rising costs, many citizens respond with more interest in price-related matters.

    The same effect occurs when the media places attention on security concerns or changes in government policies.

    Broadcast discussions and interviews also guide how people understand problems by offering context and expert explanations.

    These programmes often break down complex issues into simple details that help audiences follow ongoing debates.

    By doing this, the media becomes a bridge between technical information and everyday public knowledge.

    Social media has further expanded the way public opinion forms by allowing people to create and share their own messages.

    Platforms like X, Facebook, and Instagram enable users to react immediately to news updates.

    This space gives ordinary citizens the chance to influence conversations that previously remained in traditional newsrooms.

    The rise of user-generated content has made media influence more widespread and less predictable.

    However, the speed of online sharing has increased concerns about false information and its impact on public understanding.

    Unverified claims sometimes gain attention faster than actual news, creating confusion among audiences.

    This trend has led to more calls for responsible reporting and proper verification processes.

    Many organisations now invest in fact-checking teams to address misleading claims before they spread widely.

    Traditional media houses also work to maintain trust by ensuring that their reports follow established editorial standards.

    These standards help protect the public from misinformation and build confidence in the accuracy of published stories.

    The role of journalists remains central in confirming details, analysing events, and presenting balanced information.

    This professional process reduces the risk of publishing unchecked claims that may mislead the public.

    In many countries, the media also acts as a watchdog by monitoring activities of public institutions.

    This function helps citizens stay informed about actions taken by government officials, agencies, and organisations.

    The presence of media scrutiny often encourages transparency and accountability across public sectors.

    When investigations reveal issues of national interest, the media provides a channel for public awareness and debate.

    This exposure can lead to policy reviews, official reactions, or public discussions that help shape future decisions.

    Media coverage is also important during elections because it provides space for candidates to present their plans.

    Such coverage helps citizens compare ideas and make informed choices at the polls.

    The quality and fairness of election reporting can influence voter understanding and participation.

    This effect highlights why election periods require careful and accurate presentation of facts.

    In addition, the media offers educational content that builds a more informed society.

    This information covers health, technology, environment, law, business, and other areas that affect daily life.

    Such content helps people make better choices in their communities and workplaces.

    Despite its wide reach, the role of the media continues to evolve with new technology and changing audience behaviour.

    Many organisations now rely on multimedia tools, interactive features, and real-time updates to engage their audiences.

    These new methods aim to match the fast pace of digital communication and keep the public interested.

    As media platforms grow, their influence on public opinion becomes more complex and far-reaching.

    The relationship between media and society continues to shape how people learn, think, and respond to events around them.

    Experts believe that this connection will remain important as technology expands and new forms of communication emerge.

    The future of public opinion formation is expected to involve a mix of traditional reporting, digital media, and community-led conversations.

    This combination shows that the media will continue to play a key role in shaping how people understand the world.

  • Agbala Gabriel, Muideen and the choice of salvation or bondage

    Agbala Gabriel, Muideen and the choice of salvation or bondage

    This week, Ibadan did not allow the rest of the country to enjoy the total blackout occasioned by NLC’s. As labor leaders stormed the streets to demand a new minimum wage, a 39-year-old man named Muideen was seen in Bodija market wearing the garment of poverty he had abandoned after Ibadan pastor Agbala Gabriel solicited funds from the public to help him. Both labor leaders and Muideen were in search of freedom. The former was in search of financial freedom, while the latter just wanted to eat, drink, and live in peace without being monitored.

    Muideen was a disadvantaged man and a wanderer. He was roaming the streets of Ibadan with empty phone chargers and a dirty school bag. He was not poor. He was in absolute poverty. If it was not fate that made him poor, then one must fear people who piloted his life into such extreme conditions. I have my doubts. A part of me is in question about the true existence of ‘Muideen’. He appears to me more as a character. Nigeria is a nation of stage-managed miracles and expensive skits. The dangers of false prophets who want to be feared, admired, and venerated, including their fellows who are money- or fame-seeking content creators, have ruined the trust and perspective of every average Nigerian.

    Another part of me is in agreement with the possibility of a ‘Muideen’ being a citizen of this nation with a dying economy. An average Nigerian does not eat for body development; rather, he eats to be alive. There are millions of disadvantaged Nigerians who are living in extreme bad conditions, and Muideen is not an exception. If ‘Muideen’ is a character in a movie script, those who immersed him in the pool of poverty and vulnerability to lure and deceive innocent Nigerians must be extremely wicked. They are capable of quenching the flames of hellfire.

    If you see the character ‘Muideen’ and you do not pity him, you surely have a strong heart that lacks compassion. For Nigerians, particularly Pastor Agbala Gabriel, the character of “Muideen” is not new or rare. They are everywhere. They are under bridges, in slums, in markets, and on roads. Why did Agbala Gabriel pick Muideen out of all? He claimed that he sighted Muideen when he was struggling to sell a phone charger for him. He further disclosed that he picked up an interest in him and requested that he come and see him in his church for a positive turnaround.

    The very first time I watched Muideen’s video, I was completely down. If he had not spoken in the video, I would have concluded that he’s a mentally deranged person. When Agbala Gabriel saw Muideen, he thought he needed a bungalow and a shop to break out of his shackles of poverty. He organized cameras and gave Muideen a platform to solicit for financial assistance via social media. Muideen was lucky. A wanderer became a house and shop owner. They call it grace, but I call it a favored Facebook algorithm and an intense appeal to people’s consciences.

    Coincidentally, the camera and social media Agbala Gabriel used to turn Muideen’s life positively were the same weapons that announced their hostility. The relationship between Pastor Agbala Gabriel and Muideen went sour. Muideen left the church premise and entered Bodija Market, the same location he was either randomly or selectively picked for greatness. He removed his artificial teeth and carried a big pot. The moment he was identified by some people, Muideen positioned himself correctly and was ready to engage the camera. I could not argue with those who posited that it was likely an arranged plot.

    Muideen courageously faced the camera, and he was ready to devour his main target. He did not mince words at all. He did not miss the target of his shot. He fiercely told his spectators and those who cared to listen that he was no longer in control of his house, home, shop, and wife. He alleged that his helper had collected everything from him. He also alleged that he was beaten by security agents and his benefactor, Pastor Gabriel. His new benefactors posted the video, and it went viral. The social media went on a rage, and emergency activists rose up in defense of Muideen. Those who have personal issues, including prophets who see Pastor Agbala Gabriel as a common enemy and arrogant competitor in the business of religion, took up the matter.

    Agbala Gabriel was boxed into a tight corner. He was pacing up and down. He did not want to watch the funeral of his fame without fighting back. He is a social media pastor and understands the implications of his silence. He put Muideen’s wife on camera, and she launched the counterattack against her husband. According to her, Muideen left the house, and they’ve been looking for him since dawn. She added that nobody chased him away from his house, but she’s the one in charge of the shop due to Muideen’s addiction to bets. She further claimed that Muideen is a serial player of ‘Baba Ijebu Lotto’ and alleged that her husband’s shop nearby went bankrupt because he has no limit when it comes to Baba Ijebu.

    The counterattack was working until some people bundled Muideen to Agidigbo FM, a radio station in Ibadan owned by Oriyomi Hamzat. Is Agidigbo a court or police station? Of course, not. It is just a place where cases of disadvantaged people are poorly handled. Is Oriyomi Hamzat a police officer or judge? No. He is a freelance broadcaster and interloper who uses situations to boost his social media presence. Oriyomi took Muideen to Agbala Gabriel’s church to reconcile the duo, and it was streamed live on Facebook. I watched it, and I was dumbfounded.

    Muideen took the bull by the horn. He looked into Agbala Gabriel’s eyes and expressed his mind without fear. He claimed that Agbala Gabriel supported his wife against him. He also claimed that he took the shop from him and asked his wife to run the shop. He further disclosed that he was abandoned when he sustained an injury. He accused Agbala Gabriel and his security officers of beating him up. Muideen removed his shirt and showed his back filled with cuts and wounds to the camera. He kneeled down and begged Agbala Gabriel to free him. He requested that he be allowed to live the way he likes. Agbala Gabriel had no choice. He could not say no. Hundreds of people were watching. The cameras were active too. The atmosphere was already toxic for him, and he had become a new bride for content creators and a victim of the act he promoted.

    When Agbala Gabriel saw Muideen, he thought he needed a bungalow and a shop. He used his story to solicit funds for him and helped him build a house within the church environment. Agbala Gabriel was wrong. He sees bungalows as a solution to every problem. Muideen needed more than a bungalow. He was in dire need of rehabilitation as a drunk, smoker, and addicted Baba Ijebu’s player. If he’s not properly rehabilitated, all the favors he receives will surely go down the drain. Sadly, he cannot be rehabilitated with prayers but with premium medical attention. I want to assume that Agbala Gabriel opted for donations to build a house for personal reasons.

    Why did Agbala Gabriel beat Muideen? Why did a 31-year-old man beat up a 39-year-old Muideen? A friend queried. I forwarded a video where Muideen could be seen addressing Agbala Gabriel as ‘Daddy’. He calls him ‘Daddy’. What does ‘daddy’ do to kids who show signs of indiscipline? Beat them up, I answered him. I told my friend that ‘Daddy’ is a product of human innovation in religion to enslave or acquire rights to abuse the dignity of human persons. Go to fellowships on our campuses. You would discover that Agbala Gabriel is not alone. Muideen has fellows too. I have witnessed cases of assault and harassment within fellowships that were later swept under the rug. Why did top pastors fail to condemn it? It is simple. They are enablers. A friend said it’s part of the training these school pastors acquire to face the unorganized world of religion.

    There are millions of Nigerians who, in the course of seeking salvation or prosperity, were enslaved, and their problems multiplied in the hands of those who were supposed to save them. There are a lot of ‘Muideens’ who went to churches or Islamic organizations for salvation or solutions to problems and ended up being workers in these organizations. Instead of solving their problems, they either add to them or keep them. You do not need to lose your freedom for salvation. The moment Agbala Gabriel insisted on keeping Muideen within the church premises and making him a worker, I knew he might not taste freedom again. That is the usual practice. If Muideen was not beaten up, he would not have desired freedom. Now that Muideen has been released by Agbala Gabriel, our prayers and actions should be for many Nigerians who are in Muideen’s current status but have no means to escape from the chains of organized spiritual oppression.

  • A spiritual issue—does skit creator, ‘Lande’ actually have one?

    A spiritual issue—does skit creator, ‘Lande’ actually have one?

    There are many corners of the world, and they are corners of complete poverty, disease, failure, immobility, and disaster. Those who consistently pray to remain invisible in any corner have a better knowledge of life and its challenges. They believe that there are forces at play that control worldly occurrences.

    The powers at play here are superhuman and spirits. In addition to ruling or regulating the world, they also affect how men behave. No religion disbelieves in the existence of spirits, whether they be benign or evil, or the power they may possess. No religion rejects the presence of spirits—whether good or evil—or the influence they might have.

    Do spiritual attacks happen? It is a question of faith and belief. I’ve read actual life accounts where people describe having several spiritual encounters. I wrote a report on a dying man who claimed to have been attacked by an evil spirit while traveling to Esa-Odo, an area in Osun State, two years ago.

    Individuals who have burned their loved ones on fire, sons who have raped moms, fathers who have sexually assaulted their daughters, sons who have had sex with their mothers, pastors, and Alfas who have gotten their young followers pregnant are just a few examples. They assert that the devil or demonic spirits encouraged them to do so when they were being probed or exposed to severe torture.

    Skit creator Lande, who was born in Osogbo, has a similar life experience. When his wife informed the public that he had been away from home for several days without his phones, netizens, largely fans of the humorous actor, acted as emergency judges and began passing judgments.

    When she first married the well-known comedy actor, her wife was the main target of their hatred, and the only obvious transgression she had committed was being a single mother of two children.

    When I learned the news, I confided in a close coworker that the skit creator suffers from severe depression and believed that leaving would bring him peace. But he was mistaken.

    Depression fights are not something you give up on easily. They aren’t motionless. They move along with the mind and soul. He believed he had left, but instead added to his problems and gave others who really didn’t care a chance to use the “blame card.”

    Days later, a video of the skit’s creator sobbing uncontrollably appeared on social media. A few hours later, he made an appearance on a live video to recount his previous interactions, which mainly were about money and careers.

    I almost came to the conclusion while viewing the film that the creator of the skit had overcome his issues until he bowed down and said that his issues are spiritual in nature. Only an issue that has been clearly defined can be overcome.

    The comedic actor came to the conclusion that certain unfavorable prophesies made by a particular prophet had already come to pass and were still occurring. He showed concern and claimed to be in desperate need of assistance, pleading with the prophet to become involved. He does not recognize that difficulties are a part of life.

    The issues that Lande draws attention to are not at all spiritual. In the absence of obstacles, what is life? Lande needs to realize that there are numerous obstacles in the race of life that are challenging to overcome. He needs to understand that his issues are not odd or unsolvable but rather common.

    When one’s costs exceed income, frustration sets in, and one feels less of a man as a result. The affected person is gradually forced into poverty and loses any sense of dignity.

    Dear Lande, this is not a spiritual attack but a challenge. You should put in more effort rather than going to churches to be healed. Instead of prayer points, you need strong movie scripts. You require the contacts of reputable filmmakers, colleagues, and marketers—not prophets. To govern money flow, you must balance your expenses and income.

    Linking his current predicament or difficulty to spiritual assaults is risky for Lande. It’s true that odd powers disappear, but if he views his difficulties as spiritual assaults, he won’t be able to overcome them. Instead of crying and going on a spiritual journey, now is the moment to settle down and rethink your strategy.

    I send peace to the comic-actor actor, Lande, and many others.

  • 7 categories of citizens Nigeria failed

    7 categories of citizens Nigeria failed

    October 1 is a very special date in Nigeria. It marks Nigeria’s proclamation of independence from British rule on 1 October 1960.

    As the country celebrates its 62 years of self dominance and freedom three days ago, some Nigerians have taken to social media platforms to express their grievances over sad state of the country.

    These aggrieved Nigerians while citing bad economy, poor infrastructure, unemployment and insecurity as products of 62 years of struggle after independence blamed the despicable state of the country on bad leadership.

    A category of aggrieved Nigerians accused past leaders of looting and milking the country dry while another category attributed the blames on every Nigerian.

    The political and elite class that milked and still milking the country were aided by the common Nigerians and they are unconsciously promoting the selfish agenda of the elite.

    A check by WITHIN NIGERIA revealed that some citizens also claimed that the country, Nigeria have failed them and regretted being citizens.

    These aggrieved citizens are further categorized into six, namely;

    Students

    Nigerian students in public varsities (federal and states) are one of the categories of citizens claiming they have been failed by the country.

    The Academic Staff Union of Universities has declared a total and indefinite strike which commenced on February 14, 2022.

    This decision led to closure of all federal universities including some state varsities who joined the struggle in solidarity.

    For the past 8 months, these varisities have been shut, depriving students the opportunity to continue or complete their studies.

    Expressing their grievances on Independence Day via social media, some students said the continued strike caused by the inability of the government and ASUU to resolve amicably has greatly affected their plans, depriving them of necessary growth.

    Graduates

    According to a data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria’s unemployment rate for the second quarter of 2020 rose to a record-high 27.1%.

    Graduates who leave schools and join the colony of unemployed take a larger percentage.

    This colony of unemployed graduates keeps expanding every year as more students complete their studies and have no jobs to do.

    The Federal Government has not gone to bed over the issue through provision of grants for small-scale businesses and introduction of entrepreneurship as a compulsory course in tertiary institutions.

    However, these steps have not controlled the growing colony of unemployed as it pushes the country to greater risks of increase in crime rate.

    As Nigeria celebrates its 62nd Independence anniversary, unemployed Nigerians especially graduates believe that Nigeria has failed them.

    Civil servants

    Aside the civil servants of the federal government extraction, most states’ civil servants have not started earning via new minimum wage while some civil servants spent the 62nd Independence Day in hunger due to unpaid salaries.

    A report revealed that eight state governments failed to pay some of their workers for at least six months, a new report has revealed.

    The states are; Taraba, Nasarawa, Edo, Ebonyi, Ondo, Plateau, Imo, and Abia.

    As Nigeria celebrates its 62nd Independence anniversary, these civil servants believed that Nigeria has failed them.

    Host communities of mineral resources

    Residents or natives of host communities where mineral resources can be found or are currently being exploited have a story to tell too.

    Aside the environment degradation caused as a result of mining, more than 60 percent of lands can not be used for agricultural purposes.

    Residents and natives await expected solutions from the government especially its plans to caution the activities of miners and reduce the possible effects of pollution likely to be caused by mining activities.

    From Niger Delta to states where gold and other mineral resources can be found, it has been a sad tale of neglect, exposure to pollution and environmental degradation.

    These residents believed that Nigeria has failed them.

    Business owners, artisans and transporters

    Artisans like fashion designers, hairdressers, barbers among others depend greatly on electricity to work.

    Most times these people end up purchasing petrol to beat time or meet up their customers expectations.

    Gains or profits meant to be saved or for upkeep are diverted for purchasing of petrol.

    Owing to increasing production cost, business owners are equally passing through their tough moments.

    Drivers and Okada riders who buy fuel at disadvantaged or high price and sometimes go home with nothing also see themselves as victims of Nigeria.

    Aside the high cost of spare parts, they see the high cost of motorcycles and vehicles caused by customs duty as a great challenge.

    As Nigeria celebrates 62nd Independence anniversary, they believe that the country has failed them.

  • Police confirms arrest of one of the suspects that gang raped a teenager in Benue

    Police confirms arrest of one of the suspects that gang raped a teenager in Benue

    One of the four young men that gang raped a teenage girl in Obi Local Government Area of the state has been arrested by the Benue State Police Command.

    This was contained in a statement released on Tuesday by the police public relations officer in the state, DSP Catherine Anene.

    According to the PPRO, the incident happened on Sunday, January 24, 2021.

    “Information was received from a rape victim at Obi that on 24/01/2021 at about 1930 hours she was on her way to visit her sister at Itakpa-Ito and four armed men intercepted her on the way, dragged her to a room and forcefully had sexual intercourse with her,’ she said.

    “They made a video of their nefarious act and sent it on social media for public viewing. The victim was rushed to hospital where she received treatment and has been discharged,”

    “One of the suspects has been arrested and efforts are being made to arrest the other suspects at large. The command will definitely bring perpetrators of such inhumane act to book.” she added.

    The question of why he blocked the DJ was asked weeks after the DJ said she was blocked by the singer.

    DJ Cuppy had called out the singer for blocking her for over 10 months on January 8.

    “10 months later and I sometimes still wonder why @Zlatan_Ibile blocked me on WhatsApp and Instagram without ever saying why. we were actually friends …AND “Gelato” was a hit!” she wrote.

    In 2019, DJ Cuppy featured Zlatan on her song ‘Gelato’.

  • Uganda ‘shut down’ social media ahead of election

    Uganda ‘shut down’ social media ahead of election

    Internet service providers have been reportedly ordered by Uganda’s communications regulator to immediately shut down social media and messaging services ahead of the country’s presidential election.

    This is coming two days before the country’s presidential election which will see one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, Yoweri Museveni, against opposition frontrunner and popular singer Bobi Wine.

    In a letter seen by news agencies on Tuesday, January 12, Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) Executive Director Irene Sewankambo ordered telecommunications companies to “immediately suspend any access and use” of social media and online messaging platforms.

    An industry insider who spoke to AFP news agency on condition of anonymity said the order was first communicated in “nasty and aggressive” phone calls to the telecommunications companies on Tuesday morning.

    The order was retaliation for Facebook deleting pro-government accounts for seeking to manipulate public debate before Thursday’s key polls, the insider said

    The list of banned social media sites includes Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Signal, and Viber. Some of these were already offline on Tuesday, the source added.

    On Monday, a list of over 100 virtual private networks was distributed to internet service providers by the UCC with orders to block them, according to the insider.

    UCC spokesman Ibrahim Bbosa told AFP: “I am not aware of a directive to switch off internet or social media platforms.”

    “There has been slow connectivity on the platforms which can be partly due to heavy traffic as a result of the forthcoming elections” he said.

    This comes a day after a number of Ugandan government officials and ruling party members had their Facebook accounts shut down over accusations they are seeking to manipulate public debate ahead of elections.

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly quit social media due to the “hate” they encountered online

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly quit social media due to the “hate” they encountered online

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly quit all social media permanently due to the “hate” they have encountered on the platforms.

    A source close to the couple told The Times of London that they have “no plans” to use social media for their new company Archewell and are “very unlikely” to resume use of their personal accounts.

    The couple are understood to have become disillusioned by the “hate” they encountered on social media.

    The pair use their Instagram account, @sussexroyal, which has over 10.4 million followers to share public health advice on the coronavirus as well as updates on their charity work, but they have not posted since March 2020.

    It comes after Meghan spoke of the “almost unsurvivable” pain she suffered at the hands of online trolls last year.

    In an interview with Californian high school students for Mental Health Day last October, the Duchess said she was “the most trolled person in the world” in 2020 – and urged anyone suffering to speak out.

    “I’m told that in 2019 I was the most trolled person in the entire world, male or female.

    “I don’t care if you’re 15 or you’re 25 – if people are saying things about you that aren’t true, what that does to your mental and emotional health is so damaging.”

    The Duchess also spoke of the dangers of social media for teen mental health, adding: “Yes it’s a great place to connect but it’s also a place where there is a lot of disconnection.”

    The news marks another departure from royal life for the couple, as other members of the Royal Family regularly use Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to promote their official and charity work.

    In March 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made headlines when stepped down as senior royals.

  • Actor, Afeez Owo Called Out For Posting Orisabunmi’s Corpse On Social Media (Photos)

    Actor, Afeez Owo Called Out For Posting Orisabunmi’s Corpse On Social Media (Photos)

    Nollywood Actor and movie producer, Afeez Owo has been called out on social media for sharing a photo of late actress Folake Aremu aka Orisabunmi’s corpse.

    Recall that yesterday, it was reported that 60 year old Yoruba actress Folake Aremu, popularly known as Orisabunmi, died at 11 pm on Tuesday night after a brief illness.
