Story for payment: How Naijaonpoint Publisher Demands N250,000 From People To Publish Before Dropping Stories

Secrets Reporters

A company founded as NOP Media Ltd on January 26th 2012 with office located at 14 Universal Street ,off medical stores road, Benin City would later veered into online publication as Naijaonpoint.com, without basic foundation of ethical journalism.

With lots of its stories copied from reputable platform, the publisher who uses a UK registered number +447389673342, only accessible on WhatsApp chat without activating its calling button saw a cash cow in the stories it picked from other platforms. The platform has info@naijaonpoint.com.ng as its email address.

One of such stories he picked from SecretsReporters would later have a twist as an update made to the story in line with standard practice of journalism and verification led to the media platform dropping the story and correcting its earlier error. Naijaonpoint publisher was reached on his UK line to be informed on the latest development in relation to the story he picked about a US mortgaged finance house declared by NNPC director under ANTAN, Mr Moses Tsado in his CCB form.

When contacted, he stated that “Dropping that story will cost you 250k”, an obvious cash for exchange journalism that’s against the ethics of the profession.
