Nigeria's President, Goodluck Jonathan, has been vilified a million times by Nigerians on social media, but the good man hasn't victimised anyone. But this isn't happening in Kenya because you must be punished for it. Please read the link below.

A blogger in Kenya has been sentenced to jail time for insulting President Uhuru Kenyatta on Facebook.

The 25-year-old blogger, Alan Wadi Okenga, also known as lieutenant Wadi, was convicted of hate speech for posts he allegedly made about Kenyatta's ethnic group. Wadi was sentenced to one year in jail and a fine of $2,200 after reportedly pleading guilty to the charges. If he chooses not pay the fine, he will face another year in jail.

Online, some supported the sentence:

but under buhari decree 04 nobody is bigger than kenya.
@topic The guy look mentally unsound just like APCs cyber moro.n.s trying to force buhari on us.
This is a dose of what to expect if buhari is voted into power. Nigeria should wise up and vote for gej without sentiment. For saying "
Human right na my property" fela was thrown into jail for five years by buhari.
As for decree 04 that will be a topic for another day.

Re: Insulting Kenya's President On Facebook Lands Blogger In Prison by Nobody: 4:57pm On Jan 03, 2015
The blogger insulted Kenyatta's ethnic group and not his government. That can spark ethnic violence in a volatile county like Kenya. Kenyatta is not clueless like Jonathan.
Jonathan will keep getting insulted until he vacates Aso Rock in February.
Enough is enough!!

What you know about good governance? I really do not fancy exchanging post with a shallow and uninformed minds like you because your just a paid agent. A clear product of joblessness.

The APShits you support are the visible clueless set of leaders. Thiefnubuu and his lapdog Fashiola are only enriching and personalizing Lagos. They have successfully shared the whole of lagos amongst themselves.

I wonder the hype about lagos mega city, failed project. Tell me what he used the outstanding federal allocation withheld by Obasanjo which was disbursed to the state account by Yar'adua?

Lagos state is a slum and shanty city. Nothing works in Lagos. An average Lagosian spends 10years of his life in traffic.

Rubbish! I listened to this on Radio Nigeria this morning. What is Jonathan trying to instill in people? How many people did Obasanjo arrest for calling him a gorilla? How many times did Obasanjo arrest or call Ali Baba for always making pranks on him each time he clears his throat?

You need to show some level of intelligence here. There is absolutely difference between a joke and libel don't you think so?

Yu see why I said a ghanian economist professor should keep quiet...by calling our president an unsound mind...

Look at this case,a guy who is even a citizen of his country is even sentenced to jail..

I wonder why nigerians should be insulting and vilifying their own president,they voted for in 2011....
It seem yu guys don't know that some curses has some bad effects on humans nature..

Yu want nigeria to be in a good situation yet yu cursed yur president who is the head of state and
Yu want nigeria to move forward
Eehundecided
Yu guys re kidding me...
yu need to rise above hate....
Rise above tribalism and sentimentalism...
Or Keep hating and keep suffering... cheesy

I wait for the day,jonathan will start punishing pples who call him clueless and shoeless president without laying his/her points...

Whether they re pastors,imams,reverends fathers,students, workers or nairalanders,

they should all be punish by using derogatory words towards the president of the federal republic of nigeria...

RISE ABOVE HATE

GEJ till GOD knows when.......

What is the difference between calling Jonathan clueless and Obasanjo a monkey? Is calling Obasanjo, a human, a monkey not demeaning?

With the likes of ffk leading Nigeria's presidents campaign, he can't do nothing to anybody cos his own men are the ones leading the spread of hate message.

Hey, stop that crap. Do you know what democracy means, at all? Forget it, Nigeria is also a volatile country and many people still insult GEJ's ethnic group. Don't let us justify insanity because of your political affiliation. When it comes to FOS, GEJ is a fine gentleman.
