@femiarowojolu: If some of us are still watching Channels TV, it’s only because of Seun Okinbaloye’s Politics Today…I prefer Arise TV.

@fs_yusuf: How would Channels TV look at the casualties, those dead bodies in that church, and not know that those wounds ain’t from an explosion but from close range gun shots? What kind of world is this God!? Why do we hav to see this level of wickedness from the media? I’m tired! I am!?

@xii_lion: Channels TV needs to be probe!!!!! The fact that they saw the video of the mass shooting in Owo ondo state Nigeria and they concluded it’s a bomb explosion automatically signals channels tv as a prime suspect!! I school and live in Owo for yrs! This hit hard!??

@sargep4: But you all know Channels TV has been & still is the image maker of the current administration, why are y’all suprise?

Any news that puts the fed government in bad light, has little to no attention on that station!

@general_oluchie: Thanks to social media, individuals are able to tell their stories without the news media. If not for social media, we would think an explosion happened or whatever lies they want to tell. Thank God we can now tell our stories the way we want.

@edunjobiemmanu2: Still wondering how they usually win the best media house of the year awards annually
