The Government in your Care right now is illiterate and unnecessarily paranoid. The Law of Libel and Slander is there to control Media. God's Law is "Thou shall not kill, NOT Thou shall not thou shall not talk".

CaptainMeks:



Buhari never said anything about " soaked in blood". That was mischievously interpreted wrongly which is why this social media regulation is important since someone like you also believed that lie.

Right interpretation was "there will be a big struggle like when 2 animals fight". He was referring to the elections.

No blood was mentioned anywhere.

CaptainMeks:


Before the laws of Libel and slander kick in damage has long been done. People in their numbers would have been killed (if it is hate speech related) before laws kick in.

Prevention is better than cure

This is why in the USA people are clamoring for gun control laws in order to stop the situation whereby anyone can easily gain access to a fire arm and walk into any place and start shooting people.

There are laws for such crimes in the USA but before the laws kick in many would have been killed first and this is why there is a clamour for gun control as a preventive measure .

For many careless talk has led to the killing of others as witnessed in the Tutsi and Hutu massacre of Rwanda

The same social media on which your party rode to power in 2015. If you think am lying, go ask Sowore and Lai Muhammad.

How did the saraki o to ge movement in kwara achieved it's aim?

Are you not tired of turning the truth upside down? Why are you insistent on being a global nuisance. You talk of things you absolutely have no experience with. Do you know what freedom of speech is? How do you equate that with gun control laws? Are you alright? Do you know how Americans insult their president and his administration? You are aware that a process of impeachment is currently going on for him right? And he has not done 1/3 of what your masters have done. Shame on you.

This is a high-level overview of what the Cybercrime Act 2015 provides, and things we should be aware of.


1. The Nigerian Cybercrime Act 2015 gives the President the power to designate certain computer systems, networks and information infrastructure vital to the national security of Nigeria or the economic and social well-being of its citizens, as constituting Critical National Information Infrastructure , and to implement procedures, guidelines, and conduct audits in furtherance of that. Examples of systems, which could be designated as such, include transport, communication, banking etc. To find out more about what such a plan should look like, you can check the USA’s National Infrastructure Protection Plan here , or the European Union’s
here .


2. The Nigerian Cybercrime Act 2015 prescribes the death penalty for an offence committed against a system or network that has been designated critical national infrastructure of Nigeria that results in the death of an individual (amongst other punishments for lesser crimes).

hackers , if found guilty, of unlawfully accessing a computer system or network, are liable to a fine of up to N10 million or a term of imprisonment of 5 years (depending on the purpose of the hack). The same punishment is also meted out to
Internet fraudsters who perpetuate their acts either by sending electronic messages, or accessing and using data stored on computer systems.


4. The Cybercrime Act 2015 Makes provision for
identity theft, with the punishment of imprisonment for a term of not less than 3 years or a fine of not less than N7 million or to both fine and imprisonment. An example of identity fraud would be the individual who impersonated Chief Bola Tinubu on Facebook and was apprehended

10. Allows for the interception of electronic communication , by way of a court order by a Judge, where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the content of any electronic communication is reasonably required for the purposes of a criminal investigation or proceedings.

The above is just a high-level overview of certain interesting provisions in the newly passed legislation. The Act itself contains 43 sections, and is a very important piece of legislation to foster the development of the nascent ICT sector in Nigeria. You can read the full provisions of the Act here – CyberCrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act 2015

As unintelligent as you are instead of brushing yourself up in the department you are lacking you rather choose to spew same stupidity all over the internet.

Freedom of speech as it were does not exist because same so called freedom of speech has consequences when they lead to a result that is against the law. Do you get it?

Absolute freedom of speech is non existent FYI.

If such did exist with zero consequence then why laws against libel or terror speeches etc, after all we should have freedom of speech including freedom to lie, threaten death, etc right?

Like I said go and work on your intelligence and stop with this flagrant way you proudly type your stupidity everywhere

That has long been quashed my friend. Even the media ran with the lie.

Some of you swallow anything especially from social media with zero self research

Buhari never said such

baby124:

You are quite dull. Your comments are stupid and they do not convince any resonable human being. You are comparing things that are incomparable. You are quite dull again. Stop commenting stupidly and go and get a serious job. No body believes your spin on these outrageous policies this absolutely stupid government is trying to put in place.

When are you people in your foolish office going to shut down Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen? What about the kidnappers terrorizing the country daily? Criticism of your stupidity is what you are obsessed with. You need to go for brain shocks and some mental health counseling to finally get it in your head that all your comments are extremely senseless, stupid and unconvincing.

ISWAP has come up again, what is the plan to wipe them out? Or are you planning on catching them and giving them food with army training to join the army? Bunch of retards. You have a lot of guts to come online to write all these stupid comments that deplete the IQ.

CaptainMeks:


You can never get what I am saying especially since you have a vapid head.

All social media companies know the impact of hate speeches and even they do not offer freedom of speech despite being in absolute control if their content

Even nairaland ad a social media platform should offer free speech right? Yet the so called free speech of this social media platform called nairaland is heavily censored.

Check the rules nairaland has.

Break them and you get banned as a punitive measure. Why ban you for your free speech? It should be without consequence right?

However these punitive measures do nothing because the culprit once banned only needs to create a new account and continue with the tomfoolery

There must be more serious punitive measures in this era of faceless social media.

On nairaland today there are tribal hate speeches everywhere. Igbo against Yoruba and hausa etc.

This is not about Iswap so focus on the issue of discussion. This is about what an 11 year old can easily access and abuse. It is about what a 90yr old can easily access and abuse without even leaving the comfort of his home and use same abuse to cause chaos thousands of kilometers away. That is worse that any war missile can achieve.

If you wish to now reply this, first think and then type intelligently or be deemed eternally stupid

If what people are saying is untrue and e pain you, take them to court or argue your point objectively. This is what sane people do. They do not ban dissenting views and opinions dumby. That is how countries grow because no matter how annoying, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

You with act mature by responding as a rep of the government in a sane manner, or you keep your mouth shut if your empty pangolo brain is devoid of ideas.

If everyone disagrees with your approach, you are obviously doing something wrong. Take your L in peace and change your ways. Stop coming online to be a nuisance whose only solution is to shut down voices that show you off for just how extremely devoid of sense you are.

WelcomeToBiafra:


Can you post here 2011and 2019 elections situations reports? You terrorist have forgotten all those people that died by Nigeria government forces at polling stations, shooting of electorates from the bushes by Nigerian armed Fulani terrorist military elements.

Are you denying that there was no these people in power actions that sent innocent people to untimely deaths? Oh you have forgotten those that died in Rivers State stadium during APC and PDP war of elections?

Come and make law that you will use to kill the truths in Biafraland. No law meant to kill the truths can stop us.
