He recalled that Rwandan lost 800,000 lives to hate speech while Bosnia and Cambodia equally lost thousands of lives to the menace.

Mohammed said that Nigeria is not the only country to impose sanction on hate speech, adding that some nations have more stringent provisions.

“Chad has today slowed down the speed of its internet service to slow down the growth of hate speech.Iceland has a provision in its penal code against hate speech and the punishment is up to five years in jail.

“The sanction in Norway is up to two years imprisonment while South Africa separated hate speech from the protection their citizens can get from the constitution,” he said.

The minister said that the speech is not new but the social media and its wildfire capacity to spread information made it to be more problematic.

Whose speech is as hateful as Lai's?

Mr. Lai Mohammed, you refused to compare the democracy, nature of politicians and state of the economy of the stated countries. Do you think they practice the same lopsided appointments, the same nepotistic government and the same selected isolation of a particular tribe of governance you practice here.

Next time use sense in your comparison.

No justification until u define hate speech clearly and apply it to all both in the ruling party and opposition without bias.

When Apc was the opposition how wud u define hate speech in relation to Apc and Buhari’s comments

.... Hypocrites.

Prior to 2015, mass protests were held by APC and hate speeches were used on air about GEJ's government and her officials.

You cannot use Rwanda as a study because 1994 genocide was purely tribal conflicts between two major ethnic tribes.

In Nigeria, our major outcries are poverty, corruption, insurgency, banditry etc.

It's a pity Nigeria has so many brilliant followers and dullard leaders ruling the country.
