Journalists ! Let's destroy Nigeria ? 
By Wale Ojo Lanre 
Whatever name the Nigeria media tags Nigeria will be the lot of Nigerians . We are passing through a very harsh economic period foisted on ourselves by unpreventable global event and most especially by our own attitude which we must now correct and adjust . But we the journalism practitioners should be circumspect in the way we exaggerate , sensationalise and project the reality . There are many countries that have passed and passing through the worst form , and came out of the seemingly hopeless situation gloriously .This feat was achieved not by the media of these countries exaggerating the impact of the harsh economy to confound the world but by being developmental and patriotic in their analysis , postulations and criticism . This is what we as practitioners of journalism should be doing . I agree with Mr Bayo Onanuga though he used a wrong analogy like his daughter's not minding the curses that some cheap minds will put on me for expressing my mind . The media should at this point allow altruism and patriotic fervour rule their sense of judgement at this critical point in our national history not penchant for acrid criticism and fatalistic sensationalism . We should remember we have no other country than Nigeria .
