The ex.President Goodluck Jonathan missed the point when he took to the social media and posted that he forewarned that the freedom of speech he ‘dashed’ us during his tenure was now a scarce commodity!

And that we had hitherto taken it for granted under him, but abused him in large measure, to no end.

Firstly, it is a misnomer that Jonathan dashed us this freedom. Throughout the era of the military interregnum, Nigerians, supported by a robust and virile press, resisted threat to free speech.

Especially, in the darkest period of the era, under the evil duo of Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha.

If anything was ever settled in Nigeria, it is unfettered freedom of speech. Hate speech is at variance with freedom of speech. Rwanda is our reference point on this evil. Any observer of social media would acknowledge its abuse. I doubt if Jonathan craves for this!

Listen to fela's lyrics and understand better

gej for 2019

*Singing Fela's song*
"Abegi oo, make you hear me very well
Abegi oo, make you hear me very well
Human rights na my property
So therefore, you can't dash me my property"


Nonsense

Buhari is learning from your mistakes

Arrant nonsense. All the clamp down and abuse you did with DSS nko. You can afford to say this because Nigerians have a short memory. You presided over a government that swam in the pool of corruption.

Johnathan and hypocrisy are like 5&6

Jonathan behave YOURSELF.

My HEALTHY presido has spoken

I sure miss this man..

Lest I forget, was it not under GEJ that newspapers were seized nation wide? MASSOB and BZM members arrested. CBN governor, Sanusi sacked for saying the truth. And some people are defending that same ineffectual buffoon here
