[@soganbsoganb157]

@@essymwas3773 they don’t have choice this December because other top news channels talk good about Nigeria 🇳🇬 this December and they also need to jump on the trend

[@fistandpen2505]

lol... actually Aljazeera publishes some productive news about Nigeria (the continent)... Nigeria's tech scene, fashion etc. and serious discussions about politics and economy. So dem dey try sha. The useless publication is BBC. Completely unserious people over there. DW is also one nonsense outlet. Anyway, Channels and Arise News will soon eclipse all of these outlets for external broadcasts, at least as concerns Nigeria and Africa.

Tell me,which part of the world is not experiencing economic crisis! No part that is,so don't make it as if it is happening only in Nigeria.

[@sean-et4wr]

Exactly, I don’t get it. Even Nigerians on social media also always ranting and crying about the economy. The economy down turn is global.

[@kabifest8897]

You know Nigerians like making noise online ,even those building new houses buying new cars will still complain

[@jayaustin1939]

@@austeenonwusa8524 Yes there’s global recession. But on what scale comparatively? In Nigeria it’s worse, far worse than most countries of the world and the reason is because it’s man made, a deliberate useless government policies implemented by an inept government. Floatation of the naira, the knee jerk subsidy removal, inability to get any of the refineries up and running, an inexplicable amount of government departments. Don’t even get me started. Our current hardship is brought upon by a clueless government and until a free and fair elections are held to bring in the right people we will continue on this downward spiral and hiding under the guise of a global recession will no longer be tenable.

[@ifeoluwaoluwasina4894]

What is the point of mentioning ‘despite economic challenges’? Is it too much for you to report something positive about Nigeria without finding a way to make a negative news out of it?

[@kemiagbana5710]

Yes ooo ❤🎉❤ love from Nigeria ❤🎉❤

Every time other country report about Africa, they always must add something negative attached to it, why is that ?

Are you really okay lol, Al Jazeera is always present in the calabar carnival,even last edition.. try to work hard and work smart so that you will have something to smile with, plantain, fish , poultry farming are good investments to do in Nigeria ,try one and be happy

[@natalie-m1z]

Of course your still going to celebrate your culture at the end of the day but people are still starving in these streets. Lets not forget about that during these troubling times. We are plagued with poverty and famine globally. Nobody should be without sustenance and necessities.

There are problems everywhere, but that doesn't mean they should shut down festivals.
