Nigerian Senators To Face US Sanctions Over Social Media Bill - See Details by marked10(m): 10:34pm On Dec 08, 2015 |
Our attention has been drawn to a controversial bill making its way through the Nigerian National Assembly, aimed at gagging Nigerian citizens and threatening them with a heavy fine or a two-years imprisonment or both. The bill reminiscent of the obnoxious decree number 4, promulgated during the 18 months dictatorial regime of the current president Muhammadu Buhari, is authored by Senator Ibn Na’Allah (Kebbi), of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The bill reads: “Where any person through text message, tweets, WhatsApp or through any social media post any abusive statement knowing same to be false with intent to set the public against any person and group of persons, an institution of government or such other bodies established by law shall be guilty of an offence and upon conviction, shall be liable to an imprisonment for two years or a fine of N2,000,000.00 or both fine and imprisonment.” Cognizant of the injurious and terror inducing impact the bill may have on Nigerian citizens, particularly Diaspora Nigerians, an emergency meeting of the board of trustees of the US Headquartered Diaspora Nigeria Nationals Network (DNNN) was convened on December 4, 2015 and following a lengthy deliberation and consultation with our attorneys, took the following decisions: Demand that the President of Nigeria’s Senate Mr Bukola Saraki kill this idiotic bill immediately, or compel us to begin a process of including all senators that vote for this bill, their families and relevant associates on the international-no-fly list, as they could constitute danger to the freedoms and lives of Nigerians including those beyond Nigeria’s borders whose views they find offensive. Request meetings with the US Secretaries of State Mr. John Kerry and Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, to present our petition accordingly and initiate the above sanctioning process against the targeted law makers, their families and relevant associates. Enough of the foolishness! - See more at: http://www.exlinklodge.com/2015/12/nigerian-senators-to-face-us-sanctions.html#sthash.qv2nCPu0.dpuf cc lalasticlala mynd44 ishilove 3 Likes

Let them come with the useless bill, we will curse them on facebook,we will curse them on NL ,we will curse them whenever necessary and we will make videos and say anything we want until they burn. Enough of the gagging and intimidation by this bunch of useless ruling class that deserved to be stoned to death if only Nigerians knew the power they wield as a people. One for the road: Saraki is a thief - Confirmed Buhari is a daft senile uneducated illiterate bastard - Nigerians can confirm this one Lest I should forget Jonathan was clueless - APC Where is the arrest warrant ? useless people ,they should wait until we resort to violence in this country. 3 Likes |

forgiveness:That's the problem I have with those grown dumb ass men - They keep making iidiotic slips that allows the West to dictate how they run their own country. If they aren't stealing from us to hide it in the West ,they are making dumb policies that would end up making us look ridiculous before the international community. Now they want to gag us - We will talk o. 1 Like |

Truckpusher: The proposed degree 4 bill is dead on arrival. They know. Did they really go to the Senate to make policy that will benefit the masses in the first place? the answer is No. Do they even really know how to run a country? They want to flog the child and also expect the child not to cry loud. It's not possible now. The child most cry na. |

An idiot by name Boodogay Chetah GaoDein wrote... . Goodluck Jonathan sent 70 Nigerian pastors to Isreal to pray for his re-election. Millions of Christians prayed for Goodluck to win. . At the end, A muslim won, Goodluck was beaten. . Then I knew all the pastors in Nigeria are fake. . Oyedepo, Oyakhilome, Oritsejafor, etc all of them are scammers. Ask Goodluck to tell you how they duped him... *****+*+*+*+/+*+/*///-*+**/*****/*+/*-/*++/*** Thank God I didn't pray at least ain't that fake.. Lol |

Truckpusher:Burning Bridges is their new tactics. The same FOI that makes LIE muhammed ALMOST surpassed Satan in lying, is what they want to fight against now. The Ex-presido was abused, lied against, insulted, threatened and bullied ONLINE and on PRINT by these same "change agents" but, he remain calm and never Arrest or gagged anyone for these. It was on this same platform of Freedom that the ruling party came onboard with, with propangandas and lies emanating from their climes especially the one that has his name as his antecedents-- LIE muhammed. Is it coincidental he was named LIE?? I doubt that. |
