this man is not reasonable. everything is scoring political point with him

FLYFIRE:
Let them sign whatever into law, afterall they started hate speeches. I hope they remember it will still stand when they become oposition in 2019

Is it the SW or North or MB that will vote for a Fayose president?

In developed countries like USA have speech is not a crime And this indicate that Nigeria is not practising a true democracy

Reptyle:
With all all of the hate mongering rhetorics, songs and actions from various regions of the country, only an irresponsible government will fold it's arms and allow such to thrive.

Kudos to the government for this pronouncement and I hope it is passed into law soon.

Unless you wish to pretend that you don't remember...these same party introduced "hate speech" into our politics

Blacks are so low IQ lol. Hate speech is such a subjective term. If you are going to make that illegal, you might as well jail everyone that says things you don't like. A black run nation that promotes liberty is such an oxymoron. Subhumans.

Hate speech and criticism are too different things

It doesn't make it right, either.

Hate speeches & songs not from the northerners. Even the northern declaration is not aimed at dislodging the igbos from the northern territories, but a wake up call for the Igbos to get back to their senses and realise that northern Nigeria is the backbone of their economy. The northerners are still happy with other Nigerians living in the north. But some miscreant are taking advantage of the northern declarations to cook up hate speeches and even songs against others.

I beg to disagree! I believe you think those IPOB are at fault because they still hold sway online and offline, BT let me take u to the cradle of these hate speeches 97/5 m.buhari comment, delay in appointment and shortchange in the administration. in other word the plan after the election way to make the igbos feel irrelevant in the scheme of things which aid the growth of IPOB and the arrest of N.K without even calming down the Igbos with appointment at the earlier stage. then the big one, killing of unarmed protesters un apologetically this fueled hate speeches from the Igbo stock that has spread to other part of the nation and the nation is engulfed in the flame of hate speeches, ask most youth today on naira land the reason for their hate speeches. they simply have no idea.

Fayose is a very enlightened mind.
One of the backbones preventing Nigeria from collapsing into total dictatorship.

I wonder o.
How does one define hate speech.
It shows that Nigeria has a long way to go.
And some idiots are here attacking Fayose for enlightening them.

Hate speech fall on you!

Instead of them retructuring the Country to make it an equitable one they are as usual chasing shadows. Kwantinue. One day all will come tumbling down.

apc na craze

I find it unbelievable that some shameless and ignorant fools are tackling Fayose for defending democracy.

My only concern with this law is that government will not have the balls to apply the law if hausa/fulani are in breach of it.

The recent example of the arewa youths has shown that this law is meant for "others".

.

Fayose just talks too much

This fool again. How can a sane person support this guy?

I wonder my brother!!! This man like to vomit Vernon

abbey621:


Define hate speech? What constitutes hate? Is it speaking bad about a politician or going on social media and ranting? Is it the same rules for Southerners as Northerners? Is it free from religious or political affiliations? Even the advanced countries cannot ban hate speeches they can only discourage them because hate is subjective!

You are ignorant. How do the advanced countries discourage hate speeches if not through punishment under the law?

You find it unbelievable because you are just as petty and ignorant to know that fayose is constituting a public nuisance and not defending democracy or is nigeria the only country practicing democracy?

Is fayose not a dictator in ekiti? Smh

I agree with fayose jare. In fact, that was the reaction in my post when I read the news. Is calling buhari daura dulllardd, hate speech?

Remember the odechukwu, kindergarten President, clueless, Boko haram President, were never hate speech until APC came to power. Let's get real jor

Calling Buhari a Daura president is not hate speech but calling Daura people goats and animals is definitely hate speech.
All hateful rhetorics targeting a person or a group of people based on their religion, race, nationality, ethnic background or sexual orientation will qualify as hate speech.
It is up to Fayose to determine if his own speeches fall into any of the categories.
Calling someone a flatiron may sound funny but it will qualify as hate speech.

“I wish to express concern over the pronouncement of the Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo that hate speech will henceforth be treated as terrorism. While I am totally against hate speech and will support any effort to curb it, it is important to caution the federal government on the danger inherent in the blanket categorisation of hate speech as treasonable'.

This Fayose guy needs help . . .why is he talking from both sides of his mouth? Does it mean he cannot criticize the goverment of the day without using words that will provoke other ethnic groups? Must you hate??

Cinkq:
Gov. Fayose is wrong, the latest fg decision to curtail hate speeches is a necessary measure that can stop us from provoking ourselves into serious conflict. #hate speech can cause war

No mind the guy. Talk is cheap for him
