The media is vested with the responsibility to report events in its truculent expression without adding or substrating .over the years,the Nigeria media have not live up to this genuine standards and strict compliance with the ethics of their profession. We have hard several conflicting reportage that later turned to be untrue,fake,and unreliable from our medias due to parochial interest and partisanship  that has endangers the lives of the average Nigerians.the obligation for good governance is acruable to all sectors of the economy not only to the democratic institutions.the foundations for effective  participatory democracy ,is the reporting power of those whose so objectives is to  feed the people with a proper information of governance and the events that took place in our immediate environment. Now,when the media arbitrary shy away with this core media responsibilities, real governance becomes static and abortive. The act for freedom of information law, constitutionally gives the media legal access to information and free flow reportage across all  the parastatals of governance for a workable practicing democracy.the media has become an appendix of governance working against the people ,hoarding vital information away from the people,and working with some disgruntled politicians in tarnishing the image of  their opponents before the general public.
