Daniel Ojukwu and Ìtàdógún’s Speech on Press Freedom

In a speech during the 60th anniversary lecture of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Oyo State chapter, renowned media personality Daniel Ojukwu drew a parallel between the current state of press freedom in Nigeria and the lyrics of Jamaican reggae music great, Bob Marley. According to the Tribune Online report, Ojukwu stated that despite the absence of physical chains, Nigerian journalists still do not feel truly free, a sentiment echoing Marley’s song ‘No Chain Around My Feet but I Am Not Free’. The speech sheds light on the ongoing challenges faced by journalists in Nigeria, a key issue for the country’s democracy and the freedom of expression.
