Honourable mention must be given to Ms Tundun Victoria M.K.O. Abiola who has insulted two guests and her sister on air. The first guest she insulted was Comrade Ayodele, who had said something positve about her father. She insulted him off-air, and had to still inform viewers that she had insulted him. She even shouted at Dr Reuben Abati. Then she made a positive comment about Adebayo Shittu's confidence encouraging his supporters, only for that one to go off on her. Of course Tundun went into a shouting game with him, giving us indication that she couldn't take what she dished. She also fought her own sister on air for comparing their father to Yahaya Bello.

Then Reuben Abati insulted his colleague for calling him by his first name as the professional ethics demanded, he went off on Victor Oye and Governor Wike. Him and Tundun conducted a disastrous interview with Atiku Abubakar.

Then the King of Indiscipline, mediocrity and lack of emotional intelligence, buoyed by his social media praise singers and a hypocrite, Rufai Oseni. He is always looking to pick a fight if you don't answer questions to agree with his preconceived opinions. He called one guest a liar on air during the crisis of succession of the Olu of Warri, he accused A.J. Owonikoko of cherrypicking during the EndSARS post mortem, he attempted to harass General IBM Haruna who dealt him a humbling blow on air. Then he broke the law and lied to his social media warriors that Google maps told him to use the BRT lane, then he called the Policemen bleeding bastards and threatened to call the Governor on them.

Then Kachi Offiah seems to be selling her wares on air. One thing is clear: Arise News does not caution their journalists. They do as they like. As for partisanship, it is what will further contribute to the death knell of the TV station in addition to their journalists being bigger than the station.

Kudos to Adesuwa Omoruan who has demonstrated appreciable maturity in conduct, style and depth.
This was exactly what I stated in a related thread. Arise news interviewers are becoming so unprofessional with low emotional intelligence

This is what journalism should be. You ask questions that are relevant and technical. This is not friendship nor NTA where you just ask questions that even nursery pupil know the answers.

Questions that reflects the mind of the citizenry

Can you tell me how partisan they are? Or is the country not nose-diving?

Bro you are a liar. Why do you obi-diots lie these much?

Do you even know obi in person at all? If you can concluded these thrash that means you are collecting brown envelop from PSquare etc to campaign for obi, that means you are a tribal bigot yourself, that means you want your Labour shit party to be forced on people if not you can not ignorantly got to that myopical insensitive conclusion.

I don't like obi nothing can change that bring any other Igbo man it's fine by me as his fellow kinsmen but you see this obi I swear to heaven mbannu ok.

He lies a lot.

He is a tribal bigot as yourself.

He is a smart thief remember Pandora, N126mollion case etc very smart green snake I know this man inside out bro.

He is a separist sympathiser same way Buhari sympathise with Boko haram that put us in these mess.

He is fake and an extremely pretentious motherfucker.

He is trying to use religious narrative smartly to have his way. It won't work

He denies everything even denied his son Asoluko whereas Okupe already apologise for the boy conduct.

His followers are replica of apc template in 2014 campaign tactics bullying, insulting, harrassing, intimidating, brandishing gun to kill, ipigs are his supporters, arrogant, tribalism, hatred, rumour mongering and propagsndist. That is not what we want, we want a unify Nigeria not to carry on with Buhari divisive Nigeria

He owned 70% stake in Biafra brewery company yet denied it and quickly conived with the company management to change gear but unfortunately for him we already grabbed the original copy.

He is inexperience on national politics to tackle Nigeria numerous issues rather He want to sell us to China then second slavery.

He has no principle jumping from party to party such person person can not be trusted. The list is endless.

How please? I can go into a debate with you that they acted professionally.

Go watch other interviews of Arise TV with other candidates or supporters and see whether they changed in their mode of questioning. Infact, when you're not prepared and you're on Arise TV, the world will know. This is what Channels TV is now falling short of. I hope they rekindle that aspect back.

The other day, Shittu was ranting and full of arrogance and pride when asked questions. In a sane clime, journalists are known to ask very technical and difficult questions. But here, we see the contrary and when you meet journalists who are bend on precision, accuracy and technicality, you call them names. So, you want a journalist to be praising a guest or questioning them like a child when the nation is on fire?

Infact, the female journalist the other had to call for a dictionary to explain her choice of words to Ex Minister Shittu, and he was ashamed

We play politics with everything. This is a crucial time in our nation and we can't afford to have chicken hearted journalists representing and asking the needed questions

General haruna really dealt with that fool who was trying all he best to sholve words into his mouth. I wach the interview men u need to see the goosebumps on my skin...wht got me most in the interview was, he said when he was a general 40yrs ago hes was a commander in civil war they lost lives bt still they had hope and they have survive up till today that why do mass media only think of failure? If they have failed we won't be talking about Nigeria today... Nigeria �� has not failed!!!!

I watched same interview.... What the general said, does it reflects the general view of the society? One interview in Channels TV, we had a retired Colonel who was courageous to criticize this government constructively and was also ready for the consequences

Oseni did the job for me. It shows how partisan this northern ex service men thinks. This is same way they behaved when these monsters were created in their region years ago.

The general was talking about a war 40yrs ago. We all knew there was a war and the country then prepared for it. Has this government ever condemned any attack in the north and matched it with necessary actions? Did the general agreed that we're now in a war?

Go and see what Gov Sanwolu said on Channels TV on Sunday without critically examining his statements and matching them with the realities on ground. They allow him leave without him answering some critical questions

Arise TV is the true representation of the masses.

There is nothing worst about TVC. Don't play the game of deflections.

TVC is quite balanced and doesn't harangue guests who come on their show or try to force their opinions down the throat others.

TVC Breakfast, Your View and This Morning are very very balanced shows. Except you don't watch TVC then you can be making false assumptions.

Lies of the century.

Go listen to the fat pig on journalist hangout called Babajide Otiotoju and see how he demarket other candidates and worship Tinubu without shame.

To me, AriseTV is the only media agency that truly represents the voice of the oppressed Nigerians. They are the only media outlet that does not pamper corrupt politicians and their sympathisers. They are never afraid to ask the difficult and embarrassing questions to our unscrupulous ruling class. Every media outlet should be as fearless AriseTV and should never be cowed by politicians and elites. Thumbs up to AriseTV.

They are trying. I like the way they grill these our corrupt politicians. Just that they should have thrown such hard questions to Atiku as did to Peter Obi and Festus Keyamo.

I would have passed but then, I must appreciate your opinion. It's quite unfortunate that in this part of the world, people aren't objective when they seek change and they do things with a biased mind.

Any politically neutral person will see how Arise TV do beyond the calls of their duties by haranguing their guests and disguising under "Constructive criticism" when we know they are for OBI or put differently against APC. It is not that APC has done anything meaningful and we all condemn them outrightly but then, it's quite preposterous to always show their bellicosity and belligerent attitudes when they face any government officer. They allow their emotions to take them on when they out to be biased. It would seem they are being constructive considering the fact that there is a thin line between constructive criticism and their bias.

Rufai Oseni is worst, I used to like him before especially how he asks cogent questions from his guests which is largely missing in Nigerian journalism but he has developed a cocky, conceited and overbloated ego all due to his fans. To think he even violated the law, lied, and still threatened further after always castigating people.

Dr. Abati has always being matured but then he allowed his grouse with Wike overwhelm the ethical part of his work.

As for Tundun, she has been relatively fair amongst them all though I guess she goofed in alienating his personal life from her professional duty when her father's issue was mentioned.

Sincerely, I appreciate your post. Quite at variance with the littered parochial views laced with bias, animosity, and anti-logic littered posts of many here. That this government isn't doing right shouldn't bolster Journalists to be unduly making guests uncomfortable.

This your advice should be best suited for NTA, TVC & Radio Continentals. Don't you think so
And by the way, where were you in 2014 when Channels TV was practically supporting Buhari in almost all it programes Mauope of Channels TV for instance, could not hide her preference of Mr. Buhari over other candidates prior to the 2015 elections. Why were you not complaining then & writing this your unfounded epistle Oh' perhaps, because it was favourable to your party & candidate then, so you now feel pain that, your candidate isn't getting much of the attention again. Go to your oga's TVC platform, it's only his agenda that they anchored & promoted. Go & report them to NBC & leave Arise TV crew alone.

I think Dr Reuben Abati is more matured, knowledgeable, measured and balanced than the younger presenters. That said, I think Arise News carves out a special and unique form of news and media presentation unrivalled by their competitors. As long as they keep reviewing their performance and correct mistakes, it is all good.

that's why it is call democracy everybody is entitled to his opinion and the general has voice his. All he's trying to say is that, we Nigerians should have faith in our country and let the media do better than portraying failure and stop educating people that their system as well as their country is a failure.

For us to have faith in a country, the leaders themselves must have faith in her. PMB went outside the country and said this country is corrupt and her youth are lazy. He also said about a region who gave him 5% vote. With of all these, where's the hope of the common man?
