Online platforms Sahara Reporters and Budgit were on Thursday, May 25, issued a warned by Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, to be more careful now that its location has been made public.
The event was the launch of a citizen media lab, a collaborative project between Sahara Reporters and Budgit, located at 13B, Isaac John Street, Ikeja GRA, Lagos.
Sahara Reporters, a citizen advocacy platform, has for years operated out of New York in the United States.
In his speech at the event, Mr. Soyinka said he was hopeful the media lab would be a genuine media centre.
“Let me congratulate you once again on the launching of this media centre,” he said.
“I hope it makes the media more careful, now that people know where to come and find you and to deal with you when you go wrong, and I hope it will be a genuine media centre, which means that when we stop by, we would have a drink before we get to more serious tasks.
“I hope the media, when they do their launch will not be like the launching with which the nation was treated recently in Abuja,” Mr. Soyinka said.
“I think this nation, you and I, have been slapped in the face by some of the disgusting reprobates that we know in any level of connection with power,” he added.
