Bakassi said that there seemed to be no channel dedicated to good news in the country.

In his words:

“There’s no channel you will tune and will see good news about Nigeria. They are just trying to run me mad but they would not succeed. How can you not tune to any Nigerian channel and just hear small news like maybe one Nigerian researcher has found cure to ‘jedi jedi’ just small something that can bring joy. The whole nation of more than 200 million people and you cannot find one positive news.”

He went ahead to say that the only positive news a person can find is about marriage and that even after a few months, the marriage would crash.

Bakassi said he would probably have to sell off his TV to have peace so that he wouldn’t run mad.
