Now i will ask you a very simple question.

IS SEUN RIGHT OR WRONG FOR CREATING THESE RULES ON A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM WHICH IS MEANT TO PROMOTE FREEDOM OF SPEECH?

Answer sensibly and prove to everyone you are not dumb

baby124:

Seun put that there because of dumb governments like the ones that you are protecting a defending like an slowpoke. He wants the freedom to run his personal business you slowpoke. NL has been here for a while without these rules.

Disclaimer: Every Nairaland member is solely responsible for anything that he/she posts or uploads on Nairaland.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President, Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, has said the social media can’t be left to operate without control.

A State House statement on Monday said Shehu spoke at the Kawararafa Media Award in Abuja on Sunday night.

He said, “The entire Kasuwan Magani saga that resulted in the death of more than 50 people was because someone posted misleading information on WhatsApp that went viral.


“All countries in the world are trying to make laws to check the excesses. Many countries are trying to control the situation. The Europeans have placed a new law that holds the companies responsible.

“In United Kingdom, the parliament has received a report on social media. There is youth addiction to it, just like cigarettes. Without any form of control, it has done harm to women, ethnic minorities, individuals, institutions and countries,’’ the statement by the Deputy Director, Information, Mr Atta Essa, quoted Shehu as saying.


He said that to demonstrate that the government was not against free speech, the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, had repeatedly called for a meeting of stakeholders to agree on modalities for regulating the social media.

“The Federal Government is saying that stakeholders should come together and agree on regulation. We know that no matter how bad the situation is, it favours someone.

“Some have argued that our Constitution already has laws on libel, but the laws of the 60s never anticipated social media.


“No government has the right to muzzle freedom of speech. We don’t support the taking of lives as punishment. People insult others and share false information on social media. I hope that hate speech will be tackled so that Nigeria will be a sane place to live in,’’ he added.

He said the global trend required that a journalist should undergo training and licensing before reporting, adding that in the case of the social media, “with a phone, a tablet or laptop, anyone can reach millions, sometimes for good and other times with ulterior motives.’’

CaptainMeks:


Lmao do you see how dumb you are?

Open your nairaland front page and scroll down to the bottom and you will see a disclaimer



He already pushed all the blame or responsibility of anyones comments solely on that person with that disclaimer.

The reason behind the laws nairaland has is so there would be a sense of SANITY here otherwise everywhere would be a mess.

You are indeed a dumbo

SatanTheDevil:
There's an urgent need to regulate social media in Nigeria, lots of mad people on Facebook and so many cyber terrorists on nairaland

yanabasee:
And who's going to control the cabals?

Who's going to control the presidency?

Why is the social media a task for the presidency?


Nigerians, you need a visionary as a leader and not some old junks with backwardness and criminal mindset..,.

Bizibi:
you will still be the same person that will look for a way to leave nigeria.it seems you don't know the implications.....

Buhari spoke in Hausa that day and his exact words were "kare jini, biri jini", which is a daily Hausa proverb which means "it’s going be a fight to the finish"

[ quo te author=CaptainMeks post=84786304]

Buhari spoke in Hausa that day and his exact words were "kare jini, biri jini", which is a daily Hausa proverb which means "it’s going be a fight to the finish"

I speak and understand much of Hausa so I know. And if you don't believe me then go ahead and ask an Hausa man for its interpretation rather than believing anything you are told. That nonsense rumour began with Reuban Abatti who chose to mislead people like you with lies.

Abatti deliberately lied when he tried to interpret it.

Kare jini, biri jini has nothing to do with dogs or baboon or even blood.

FYI I AM IGBO

What is he and their Fulani supporters are fighting till the end Is the killing to innocent unarmed IPOB family members with pla cards

Please explain.

baby124:

Your case is a lost one because you can never get it. I don’t blame you, you have seen real hunger in life. So you must see black and call it white.

Talkingoil:


Oga your boss president buhari also made statement about dogs and baboons soaking in blood. That led to the death of innocent people. You are in power today because you exploited the social media by spreading propaganda against then president Jonathan. You guys are so intolerant and lack leadership charisma.
There is God o

CaptainMeks:


There is this adage that says A HUNGRY MAN IS AN ANGRY MAN. Only hungry people who have seen real hunger in life are as angry as you are adnd have been even in our banter. See how you have been insulting me in anger due to your genetic hunger which is why you see black and call it white

baby124:

[s]Hahahhaha. I hit a soft spot so it must be true. This must have hit a sore spot because you quoted me twice . You will return to hunger after this administration don’t worry. All the people that you would have lied to and on to destroy their opportunities in Nigeria, their conscience will judge you. All your generations will suffer abject poverty because of these lies you have chosen to spew in defense of rubbish. You never see anything yet.[/s]

southsouthking:


What is the implication sir, maybe i could start supporting the bill from today if only you can convince me about the implications.

Bizibi:
when the government do whatever it likes and you don't have a voice then you will know how valuable social media is....... Even the present government used it to win the 2015 elections. Una like your oppressors.
