The frontline digital news expert said the best way not to get involved in spreading fake news in a bid to create compelling stories is “to tell the stories responsibly.”

His words: “The present challenge is to tell the stories responsibly. As content creators look more and more to social media for sourcing and downplays the traditional news gathering method, fake news has become a danger to telling authentic stories devoid of hoaxes. This development is causing concern for publishers who are struggling in a fast paced environment with the risk of publishing fake news.”

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
