Rubbin Minds: What Approach Did Linda Ikeji Take That Was Not "The Right Way?"

Rubbin' Minds this Sunday played host to two major players in Nigeria's vibrant new-media sector. Entertainment Editor of BellaNaija, Onos Ovueraye and Chief Correspondent at The NET NG, Osagie Alonge took turns to analyse the rapid growth and popularity of social media as well as issues affecting the online business in Nigeria. 

The new media experts both identified plagiarism and the lack of censorship as major challenges which have encouraged the posting of unverified news on many websites. They were however unanimous in their preference for their organisations' regards for ethical journalism which Alonge referred to as "the right way" rather than the approach taken by popular blogger Linda Ikeji. 

They claim that their ability to deliver fresh verified news to every class of Nigerian via mobile phones and other new-media positions them to soon kill the relevance of newspapers, television and other traditional media. 

They both agreed to riding on the popularity of certain celebrities to attract visits to their websites, mentioning Nollywood stars, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde, Jim Iyke as well as music stars Tu-face Idibia and D'banj among those who constantly provide them with the largest hits.
