00:05What happens when the truth is silenced?
00:09Press freedom isn't a luxury for journalists.
00:11It is a fundamental right for every citizen.
00:14It is how we build a future that is transparent and peaceful.
00:19In Nigeria, the journey hasn't been easy.
00:22From the dark days of military decrease to today's future age,
00:26new threats continue to emerge.
00:28Investigative reporters face harassment.
00:32And laws are sometimes weaponized against digital voices.
00:36And independent journalism is constantly under pressure.
00:39But why does this matter?
00:40It's because a free press is the public's watchdog.
00:43It's the line between an informed society and one driven by rumor and conflict.
00:49As journalists, our commitment is to the truth.
00:52But protecting that truth, that responsibility belongs to all of us,
00:56governments and citizens alike.
00:59This World Press Freedom Day reminds us that peace depends on truth.
01:04Without a free press, there's no accountability.
01:07And without accountability, there's no lasting peace.
01:10Let me tell you what,
01:10Please, please.
01:11Let me tell you what.
01:13And without me,
01:14Let's get a sec.
01:14You
