There is no more sleep in America; the reason is
not far-fetched: President Trump must be shown the door and there is no more
pretense about it. Everywhere, on news media, town talk, workshops, seminars,
Trump is being vilified, castigated from all corners; they see him as
inexperienced and some have gone ahead to dub him as a Russian Agent! Never in
the history of America have they witnessed this kind of betrayal, something
President Trump has called “the biggest hate campaign in America’s history”
Yes, we heard of Monica gate, the Nixon Watergate scandal, but this one is
exceptional. Democrats, Media moguls and the all powerful gay movement, the proponents
of same sex marriage are involved. So obsessed are they that no minute is

those shadowy powerful figures that have their teeth sunk deep into the
American economy would be wiped off. This is the present battle raging in America-
the secret behind Trump must go. It is not so much about Russia.

But the entrance of Sahara Reporters appears to deviate from those widely held pragmatic principles of decency. Stories by our reporters In those days, the Department of Mass Communication of the University of Lagos was very hot and remains so to date. Exciting lecturers in the mold of Dr Adidi Uyo, Ralph Akinfeleye, and Idowu Sobowale made teachings very robust and thirsty to listeners. Students learnt the trade and picked up fast. They taught the tenets of practical journalism exhaustively and left no stone unturned. They made journalism so sweet that students were always hungry to learn more; the thrills were such that even the 13 points cut-off mark for entry ...
