What happens when a lawyer and writer of satire addressess your matter? Expect nicks.
Elnathan John and Kayode Ogundamisi had a drawn out duel over what constitutes journalism ethics and what it means to “speak for Boko Haram”.
It all began with this video Sahara Reporters put out, and unfortunately it did not end with sharing money on Twitter Nigeria ( shout out to Hushpuppi and Davido)
Do see below:

.@elnathan_john is @YouTube also a "media arm of Boko Haram"? Or your @TwitterNigeria Police role applies to @SaharaReporters only? https://t.co/mw8sgMxmJO

.@elnathan_john you are the silly one here. You accuse @SaharaReporters of being Boko Haram media organ & I asked if @YouTube is the same https://t.co/rNxueXmx05

You stained your white kaftan with the gutter "silly" comment and I gave it back to you in kind. You can try that nonsense with kids https://t.co/eDLbRQA8On

.@elnathan_john did you visit Pluto or Jupiter when Shakau of Boko Haram listed @SaharaReporters as an enemy media? Or you slept off?

You could have made the reasonable observation here without a weighty ridiculous allegation of @SaharaReporters being a Boko Haram organ https://t.co/Oi1Pp06zTf

.@elnathan_john Show me when you ever accused AFP of being media arm of BH all the time they released BH videos? Some unedited https://t.co/yWnUU7jeEd

No you are not. You are making information available to the public unedited. Completely different from "speaking for them". https://t.co/PTd0XZuiiE

Grow up? You that ran away from @TwitterNigeria because you could not stand critical debates from small pikins. Meanwhile welcome back. ?? https://t.co/DDpq5DgVsH

To clarify, @AFP has never released a Boko Haram video unedited.

You just finished a book? I hope it's as successful as your last so you won't need more mentoring from Auntie Chiamanda. You wrote a book? https://t.co/JFxsnvJmM1

True. But this is a dangerous allegation to make publicly. To say such a thing with no evidence puts us at risk.

Your assertion that @SaharaReporters is a Boko Haram media organ is the issue here. Also Video published by SR meets its editorial policy. https://t.co/6Hz13rAG5Z
