A cry for HELP

The Explosion....

Ojuelegba and its environs has now become what some people cant call a home again. The explosion that happened on Saturday morning, hit the street of Ojuelegba like never before, affecting different street.
Coming out of the room was like an atomic explosion just hit the street but in time, it went down.
We can only thank God for lives saved but what can we say for lives lost?
Questions keep rolling on my mind, where would the destroyed house(s) stay, what will happen to them?
Well, this is what i can say, some of the victims i spoke to all asked the same question...said the same thing..." Where do we start from, what do we eat and all.."

But can i say we got it wrong somewhere, was it as a result of our laxity attitude towards our environment, or the government did not do what they were supposed to do. Well, someone should have an answer to this.
As the explosion as left some victims homeless...

So i saw this online and i thought it would be nice to share it with you.
When you talk of art, what comes to your mind...pencil, colors,...
Well, something intrigued about art is that, it speaks the inner most expression.

 The above art work was done by a street artist..

FAQ on online Journalism....

According to www.onlinejournalismblog.com the question on what and who a journalist is and who a blogger is.
We can therefore say, a journalist is someone who practises journalism – it’s as simple as that. Being employed by a media organisation is not enough alone (otherwise ad sales, marketing, distribution and other staff would also be ‘journalists’). And a blogger is someone who is uses blog to publish content. The term is based on platform, not the content itself, so you can’t say a blogger is or isn’t a journalist.
Therefore it is not really clear who not to call a journalist as both (Journalist and Blogger) do the same thing.
And there was the question on code of conduct. If a blogger and a journalist should work under the same code of conduct as they both publish content. But it was said that a blogger could write his own code of conduct or may join NUJ but for a seasoned journalist, he has to abide by the code of conduct of NUJ.
Furthermore, in www.poynter.org, different questions were asked if  'objective' reporter ever valued, yes  it should but its a matter that is should be talked about. It should be reviewed regularly in other to be transparent. Also, a vital question was asked if it was ever necessary for a reporter to write anonymously on another person's blog...but the answer remains No. According to the site and other journalism ethics, it is not professional.
