Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, recently took a tour of some Southsouth and southeast states and as part of his activities, had media briefings with some of the journalists in the state.
However, at the press conference in Calabar, Cross Rivers state, a journalist asked him if he was being ”bankrolled by any politician or political group.”
The former Minister felt highly insulted by the question and spared no thought as he lashed out at the journalist in the presence of everyone at the press briefing.
“What type of stupid question is that? What type of stupid question is that? Bankrolling who? Do you know who you are talking to? Bankrolling who? I will not take any questions from this man.
What type of insulting question is that? Which bankroll? to do what? Who can give me money for anything? who do you think you are talking to? Bankroll what? Go and report yourself to your publisher. Bankroll what? Please don’t insult me here.
I don’t want to take any questions from this man. I could see from your face before you got here how stupid you are. Don’t ever talk to me like that. Bankroll who? You have a small mind. Very small mind. Don’t judge me by your own standards,” he charged at the journalist.

Good for him to say that! Excellent that he said all that!! But it should not surprise anyone that a “Nigerian journalist” will stoop that low to ask or insinuate such a question. This is after all, a country where some journalists ask you for money to run a story about you or the issues you promote. It is to some of them, “their” standard of doing things. Way to go FFK…Way to go my brother!!
