No Madam, it is not.
Otherwise please cite me the section of the Criminal Code that renders it a crime.

Just de mumu yourself.

duro4chang:
People should learn from her mistake.

And, pray, what is her purported “mistake”?!
Being born in Nigeria rapidly descending towards the Dark Ages?!

Defamation should be a CIVIL offense, NOT a criminal offense…
Unfortunately, in Nigeria, those in power ABUSE it - with applause from the gullible Gallery!

DeepSight:

When is this nonsense stop? Why is defamation / slander / libel being criminalized by the powerful in Nigeria? These are civil wrongs for which one can be sued, not crimes for which one is to be prosecuted. This really needs to stop!

What do you expect?

The average Nigerian knows not the difference.

Also, with the kind of judiciary we have in this country, it will be a real hassle to challenge someone of the eediot governor's standing.

Like someone rightly said: POWER IS POWER

Typical response from an ignoramus.
Cite the criminal code or sharrap.

The Cybercrime (prohibition, prevention) Act 2015
that became effective on May 15, 2015 also provides as follows: 'any person who knowingly sends a message or other matter by means of computer systems or that he knows to be false, for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, ill will or needless anxiety to another or causes such a message to be sent commits an offence under this Act and shall be liable on conviction for a fine of not more than?7,000,000.00 or imprisonment for a term of not more than three years or to both such fine and imprisonment"
You are the biggest edoit

Defamation is a CIVIL offense, NOT a criminal offense…
Thus, if Mr. Governor alleges defamation, he should file a CIVIL suit for monetary damages.

Unfortunately, in Nigeria, those with power ABUSE the criminal justice system for personal purposes.

If you refuse to learn then what befell her will also befall you. Wether it is a civil or criminal offence is not my business. Some people will just sit down somewhere and begin to post fake news on the net. You destroy people's reputation with your phone and you think you will go scot free. Never!

If to say na north now, we will not rest

Spoken like a dictator stuck in the Dark Ages…
If President Clinton was a Nigerian, Monica Lewinsky would be in jail.

There is a legal remedy for fake news…
It’s the CIVIL damages provided in the law, not CRUDE ABUSE OF POWER!

If you are one of the people using social media to cause chaos you will soon be caught. Social media is not meant for defamation of character. Go and learn. Use the net for better things. Your age mates in other countries are not doing that. Use your youthful age for something profitable.

If freedom of speech is not allowed abeg let the military come out and do checks and balances pls. If we have the military rule at least we know not to talk.

Well, if you think M16 and MOSSAD etc don't pick people because of their post or what they said, then you are still living in the past.

You're free to say all the nonsense you feel like but when you're called to either defend and or prove it, it becomes an issue

She stated that it was time to "fight dirty", the time has come so she should fight to finish.

I don't know what's wrong with all of them.

Some persons will go online and write all manner of nonsense and spread rumours about another person and look for who to blame when they're called for questioning.

She made accusations and she has been giving the privilege of prove all she stated.

You mean like the “chaos” of showing a Gov on YouTube stuffing dollars into his Babanriga?!

Only people who have something to hide are scared of SM and want to chill free speech…
In a democratic (and frankly any civilized) society, the only acceptable antidote to “fake” news should be “true” news!

Let’s assume (just for argument’s sake) that she’s truthful…

What she did is a CRIME and she is to defend herself in a Civil court and not in a military court.

If she can't back up her claims, you will be taking food to her in the prison.

You see a person was taken to court for the offence she allegly committed and you are here on Nairaland typing trash. Let her prove herself wether she is wrong or right. You claimed to know but you no nothing. If you continue to defame people on the net, one day you will be caught.

As much as you are trying to personalize this discourse…

Returning to the SUBSTANCE, there’s a PROPER forum for everything…
Just as election matters are taken to tribunals and appeal courts, instead of to Orisha or Okija Shrine!
