Nonsense!!!

all african leaders are dictators by nature..

emmpire:
You dey mad. You smoke dry 5hit abi? Fool like you

Yes! That's your right!

You can insult anyone if u wish!

There is no law against it.

I can only sue for damages in I feel defamed.

Hmm, good. I was only experimenting to see how you will react. I must say you kept. I applaud you for that. I didn't mean any of those insult.
Good one

freedom after speech is not guaranteed

It's wrong for the magistrate not to have taken a plea. It's human rights abuse. Besides, such a simple offence is bailable and the accused should have been granted bail...






Long time being away���

scottB:

You don't on a normal basis, but even if u decide to, what then is new about it? Must the media broadcast it? Must the whole world hear of a rather minor incident?
But the answer to your question remains an affirmative NO!

You call it a minor incident but you clearly wouldn't like it to happen to you. I believe by prosecuting such offenders and broadcasting it other people will understand that insulting someone or someone's mother is not a good thing Sir.

Judge not and u shall not judged. Make una fear God oo

Dankwanbo the best governor in Nigeria.


Some goats will start shouting "where is the freedom of information".

they forgot quickly that Dankwanbo is a fast learner. This is the tyranny the apc govt brought to the country.

Meanwhile, I just returned from a one year ban. The mod that did that, thunder miss road fire you ooooo

1 whole year?


Is it by force.

So what you are implying now is that, anyone that insults someone should be arrested and prosecuted because is now a federal offence to insult someone Bros, wake up, this is planet earth and Nigeria to be precise, so think again. Insults are more like a lifestyle here in Nigeria and just because one has the money and influence doesn't mean he/she has to exercise them always!

YelloweWest:
Na wa o. Freedom of speech is really a thing of the past in Nigeria. Since when did it becomes a crime to insult someone?

So i have the right to exercise my freedom of expression by insulting you and your mother?

Can you state where in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria where it is stated that the governor or anyone else must/should accept insults....where in the Constitution the rights to insults is granted?

Freedom of expression does not mean the right to insult or defame someone else!

Do that and the relevant section of the LAW will be activated and use against you just as it has been done to the accused. end of story

I feel dissapointed because the accused probably didnt have good representation......

The worst hurricane in the history of man including hurricane Irma, Matthew, Don, Emila, Kate etc is Buhari first & 2nd coming always feeding us with lies without proves.

Be careful with your words bro. Not a warning, just a friendly advice.

Idi Amin of Uganda once said "There is freedom of speech, but he won't guarantee been free after the speech"

you can't exercise your your fundamental human right in the caliphate. never!!! you shall be incarcerated.

when Jonathan was being insulted as president how many people where reminded in prison. power corrupt and absolute power corrupt absolutely.

all these freedom of speech ambassadors here, does the freedom include insulting people? why don't people understand the very simple and basic things? we just muddle everything together and start writing senselessly. I am sure many of you will spill blood if someone insults you.

You are encroaching on a citizens right. He has the right to seek legal action on the assault on his character and that of his mother, same right as you. You may choose not to exercise it. Whether he exercises the right always , I wouldn't know but you can tell us more since you seem to know.

Lol. Pls what is the relevant section of the law?

Don't centre here an assume what u know nothing about.
General anyone is allowed to say anything.
If the person affected does not like it, he has the right to bring up a CIVILsuit of defamation.

civil suit is not criminal! It only awards damages!
No one goes to jail!

Na wa o. Freedom of speech is really a thing of the past in Nigeria. Since when did it becomes a crime to insult someone?

It is a crime, if you don't know. Moreover, where can you find freedom of speech in the constitution?

Amosjaj:
I thought we have freedom of speech and insults. Check out how American are insulting Donald Trump anyhow, Nigeria make me speechless

If you have freedom, you can now use that freedom to enslave other?

YelloweWest:

Yes! U have the right to say what ever u like about anyone one!
If the person does not like it he will bring a CIVIL action for defamation!

Their is no criminal law against insult!

Please, draw my attention to the section of the constitution that says so.

omoelerin1:
It is a crime, if you don't know. Moreover, where can you find freedom of speech in the constitution?

Freedom of expression! It is even wider than freedom of speech. It means I can express my thoughts in anyway I wish!

If only one say something about me that is false and offensive, the option available to me are CIVIL SUITS! Not criminal!
Therefore it is not a crime! One can only sue for damages!

omoelerin1:
Please, draw my attention to the section of the constitution that says so.

I'm not your lawyer! Do ur own research or pay me to do it for u!
