The media needs to be gagged for peace to reign in Nigeria, those who keep criticising the government are enemies of the state who must be dealt with.

Ok. We've heard you. Now, go on top of that shelf and pick your medication. I've just been informed you skipped your dosages in the past 4 days.

They better go to court to challenge this and come out to protest.

When they complied with the illegal Twitter ban, it’s like they didn’t know their turn was coming.

Come out and protest then drag this government to court and publicise the case. You have to embarrass this government before they will listen.

Prophet Jonathan warned you..but you slept off.

They are the problem, with their culture of taking kickback to publish untrue stories. It’s irrelevant for them to continue existing except they’ll change their cultures of laziness, corruption and deception

Thanks my man. If you want to tarnish anyone's name in Nigeria, just give money to an average Nigerian journalist (brown envelope), they will do the job without thinking twice. Anything goes

J2381:
Well I'm not surprise. I've always known government, not just Nigeria but Africa at large don't like press freedom. It's one truth that has been staring at us right in the face.

Nobody in power likes press freedom. They don't like the scrutiny. Not even celebrities like press freedom. Whether in Africa, Asia, Europe or America.

That's why strong systems are put in place to ensure those in power can't tamper with freedoms at will and without legal course without personal cost to them.

which peace? Does peace mean trying hard to stop a motion of regional self rule? Staying in a country ruled by illiterate parasitic nepotic religious fanatics in the 21st century is choking

Never again should power go to the north until this country is restructured

They are that cheap and useless they played vital role in the deplorable condition of the Nigerian state. They are just like prostitutes. easily compromised

The real terrorist now have their head office in Aso rock. APC. I hail thee.

Media Bill is necessary since Nigeria’s information space is bloated with lies. And Nigeria News Papers anti-anti media bill stance isn’t convincing when scrutinised. This is why: before the information revolution, when Nigerians relied on newspaper stands, Nigerians were pretty critical of their broadsheets and tabloids, labelling them either Godfathers of political party mouth pieces. Indeed, Al jazeera, CNN, BBC and other Western media organisations have many times dismissed Nigeria News Papers as Political Party mouth pieces, crushing my boasts that Nigeria is home to some of the developing world’s most vibrant free press spaces. How or when the tabloids morphed into Free Press deserving of backing in their stance against politically motivated censorship, is eyebrow rising.

We are all rightly weary of censorships but existential threat posed to Nigeria by unregulated media – either by the media or government – I believe warrants it. The Bill is to me as if an emergency measure to safe guard the State. Someone on Niraland or perhaps I saw this on one of the Nigeria Televised news Youtube pages, made the point worth reiterating and that was, ‘finally, we need a Nation (existing) in which to debate or fight for improved freedoms.

The reign of terror!

When are you going to start demanding for jobs and security, an end to banditry and kidnappings, you know, things that really matter, instead of supporting being gagged

According to the groups, the Nigerian government and the various lawmakers want to use the bills to cage media practice in the country, and control the access and level of information made available to Nigerians.

The so called Journalists in Nigeria are part of the problem. The media houses are working in tandem with the government against true journalistic ethos and they have kowtowed and espoused the Government's FALSE narratives on every issue of importance to the citizens. This brand of "brown envelope" journalism has given the government the impetus to keep abridging and curtailing PRESS FREEDOM and citizens' rights to know. It goes without saying, "When you lay with dogs, you're bound to catch fleas." It's sad to watch these M0R0NS that claim to be journalists especially on ChannelsTV kiss the asses of government officials to the point that it makes you wanna puke.

Did you understand what is going on at all. And that it has absolutely nothing to do with Buhari but everything to do with the people you elected into the National Assembly? Please exercise your God given brain and mind for once.

They already knew about the useless man during his first time. My people said that it was as if heaven is going to fall, as in everything turned upside down. But the evil people who don't care about Nigerians still brought him to kill people's dream. Very useless

U know nothing
Every bill u see from NASS that Nigerians stand against is personally from the executive and buhari as the core head. He knew he is useless but he doesn't want anybody to tell him how useless he is.
Listen, me I stand with anybody who criticise buhari bc those are people that love Nigeria.
He should check the prices of items before his emergency and now

There is nothing we haven't witness during this buhari regime

Can you you point out in particular which specific areas Buhari has done a "perfect job" in?

Are the Chandler Institute of Governance ”lazy bastard southern youth"?

A leopard will never change its skin!
Buhari will always be Buhari it is well
A remanence of the infamous decree 101 of 1984. U all hang on and survive any which way u deemed fit just 2 years more we shall be free.

This is a very big lesson to everyone of us "once a thief will always be a thief" once a dictator will forever remain one.

Good luck as we survive this.
