By Innocent OROK
First, I want to thank you for taking interest and time to read and make a reply on my article. It shows people like you are reading me and it gives me joy, because as a Journalist if you write and people don’t read you and if people read but no feedback , then your journalism practice should be checked.
Again, let me state , a Journalist sets agenda and spark up Discussions towards remedy or solutions for public office holders to be accountable to the people in their actions and inactions . A true Journalist cannot be cowed because somebody is abusing or using foul language against him when the subject matter he wrote about did not go down well with him or her.
Now back to your REJINDER, I employ you to read my article again with an open mind and educate me and the public or point out to me and the public where I have lied or state what is not happening in ANLCA that I junk in my article.? Remember, you are not writing for Innocent Orok alone , but for the public to read you and have their own opinions.
To start with , you said no Commotion in ANLCA , is a family thing, good. Installation of another NECOM when the tenure of the present one according to your constitution has not expired is what sir? Secondly, this year alone HOODLUMS have attacked the ANLCA house three times and break in to destroy the place, what do you called that sir? just to mention a few of commotions. Please I urged you to check the word Commotion.
Now you said I wrote junks , please can you point out either a line or paragraph were I lied in my article and counter it with the truth?, Because I want to know the truth too.
Let me remind you in my article I never accused or lablled anybody, I only narrated the happenings in ANLCA in a summary form and asked questions and I expected you to, if you have the answers to give or educate the public , including me with the answers.
You talk about court judgement sir, please educate me, if really someone has a court judgment to execute or enforced , who does the enforcement of the court ruling , is it HOODLUMS, the winner of the case or Court , please educate me?
You also made mention of AGM in Owerri that it was illegal, can you educate me and the public in accordance with your constitution, what made an AGM of ANLCA legal or illegal?
Can you also educate me and the public if ANLCA positions are through Elections or appointments and at what point does appointment of NECOM and not by Elections comes in, in accordance with your constitution?
Again, my article was merely based on what the ANLCA constitution says and not what people alleged to say or do which cannot be substantiated.
Without boring you sir, please next time you want to reply an article written by a Journalist, don’t claim to teach a Journalist his work, especially for those with integrity. Rather interrogate the issues with unbiased mind and don’t go about abusing people , because they don’t write to favour you or do your bidding.
Finally sir, I want to tell you I stand for the facts and truth in any subject matter and to engage in intelligent discourse to learn and improved my knowledge on issues. Know sir the Innocent Orok you mentioned don’t write to bring people or personalities down, I strived to improved on institutions to grow.
Sir, am still expecting you to read my article again and provide truth and factual answers to the questions if you have any and I will quote you in my part two of the article. God bless you sir.
