Quotes Journalists and now a global media organisation of repute, the BBC, which should know better, are becoming a tool for terrorists, even if unwittingly, by amplifying the faces, voices and stories of killers and marauders who are still operating with impunity across Nigeria,” she wrote. Kadaria condemns BBC documentary on bandits The cable I’m totally against sanctions, I don’t believe in muzzling the press. I don’t believe government should be in the business of trying to threaten media regardless of the mistakes media make. But I also believe media should be able to hold itself accountable. Our job is to hold power accountable. Kadaria Ahmed expressed fear over election Vanguard I think Nigerians ought to tell their politicians that it is time to have a bipartisan approach to insecurity, because it is something that is going to consume us. Even now as it is consuming us, we are not asking who is PDP or who is APC. And this continuous politicisation of insecurity, for me. Kadaria spoke about holding politician's responsible PM News I don’t believe in sanctions, we need to self-regulate because we have a constitutional duty. We have a responsibility. Kadaria spoke about sanctions Arise Tv We are not saying gender should be the only decider when you want to vote for people in office, merit has to matter. I’m convinced that there are women who are qualified. What we are saying is, where you have women who are qualified but due to situation of things, men have the money and women can’t compete. Kadaria opinion on Women's competency Punch think there’s a lot of distrust for traditional media in Nigeria. A lot of people you talk to will tell you they believe we are somewhat in collusion with people in positions of authority. Sometimes they find it difficult to differentiate between us and the people we are supposed to be holding accountable. Kadaria Ahmed spoke about trust in leaders The cable The first element of sustainability you need is for your country to be functional. Without that functionality, you will sit and make all the plans, and you will end up with a lot of troubles. That functionality of your country partly depends on the ability of proper journalists to do their job. Kadara opinion on how to sustain a country ICIR The Social Media Bill is a threat to journalism and democracy because what they claim that the bill wants to guide against is hate speech and fake news which has been taken care of. Other laws has taken care of that, we know that fake news and hate speech pose a serious threat to us as journalists, we don’t want it, because it undermines our work. Kadaria condemns social media bill Vanguard Let me reassure everyone, that my work, will not stop. It will not cease. I will continue to ask the hard questions and have the difficult conversations while being so unashamedly pro Nigeria that I will also continue to challenge champions of ethnic politics which have done nothing but polarize us, making it impossible for us to unite and fight bad governance and a system that has let the majority of our people down. Kadaria reaffirm her commitment to journalism News Nigeria If journalists follow through with the process of collating and verifying before reporting, it brings a check to the level of bias in information dispensation. The Industry must take responsibility, there’s no excuse for some of the errors we see. Collect, verify, speak to the people involved, go out, get facts, before reporting. Kadaria Ahmed encourage citizens to hold journalists accountable TVC Entertainment The inability of the government to deal with them has nothing to do with the lack of knowledge, it has everything to do with the incompetence. So, at that point, you might ask, could we have told our story, or I have heard people say to me, the ethnic dimension of the problem was not known until this documentary was done Kadaria spoke about government knowing the whereabout of bandits Citizen Diary External links Category:Living people Category:Year of birth missing (living people) Category:Women journalists from Nigeria
