The way Nigerians open their mouths and insult the President is becoming increasingly alarming. Every single thing he says is scrutinized, twisted, sieved, put under the microscope, telescoped, distilled, boiled, stirred and shaken just to fish out the smallest of mistakes which they will hold unto to in order to lash on the president and lace him with insults. Nowhere in the world is this done, not even in the US. There is a difference btw criticism and insult. I think it's high time we really looked into this issue. A law should be enacted to punish those who insult the president. How many of you will insult your dads or bosses in the office like this? 9 Likes |

Because My goodluck jonathan is the president? I doubt if anyone thought of this when Gen. Obasanjo was the president. Gen Obasanjo's head was even photoshoped into that of apes' gathering, but it was fair then. But those insulting goodluck jonathan, your jesus of otueke should be punished. I feel this way of reasoning. 1 Like |

stupid idea, there is freedom of speech that can never be stiffled in any democracy. Nigeria is not a dictatorship hence everyone has the right to speakup even when you dont agree with thie views. If the table is reversed tomorrow i know you will love to vilify the opposition therefore freedom of speech is sacrosanct. 9 Likes |

JMOI: Freedom of speech is not an excuse for you to insult whoever you like. You can actually prove a point without insulting people. says who? are you going to refree freedom of speech? if you dont like what is said about the president then you can sue them. thats your right. freedom of speech does not preclude liability. If you feel that the president has been defamed then sue the perpetrators but you cant stifle freedom of speech. We as nigerians have a constitutional right to criticize our leaders in anyway we see fit, and if calling them names helps sometimes then it must be done! it is a constitutional right and you cant change that. if you want to live in a place where freedom of speech is regulated then go live in north korea or similar countries. 5 Likes |

This is what democracy is about! if you cant endure the heat stay out of the kitchen. you are wrong the scrutiny,criticism is even more in established democracy, whats happening or you perceive to be happening in nigeria is little compared to whats obtainable in established democracy? do you know what names the opposition call obama? Cant wait for more scrutiny/criticism of any political officeholder in nigeria the fear of good scrutiny will keep them straight. BTW GEJ is not our employer or boss he is our/masses employee. the ministers,SA and his cabinet who are his employees/appointees wont criticize or call him names neither will his family. but the masses through the social media are doing their constitutional apportioned duty which is to be a watchdog. am saying this as a GEJ supporter. 5 Likes |

You cannot do that. Allow people have their say. One day, it will be their turn. One thing the president said over and over yesterday, was the need for this nation, to build institutions and not men. I support this president but I also support the presidency of Nigeria no matter the person in office. But above all, I support the right of all Nigerians to have their say, even when, it makes my skin crawl. 1 Like |
