There is nothing in Nigerian law called hate speech

Hanseel1:


Democracy started in USA,,,,we all copied our constitutions from USA..

people say things worse than this everyday in America.. how many have been arrested for hate speech??
Why the insult to make a point...we can argue without the use of abusive words... We are ONE..this not politics

You're are just an unliberated political bigot.

democracy did not have it origin from the us google is at your disposal make use of it

Why is Muric leader -Prof Akintola still walking free?

6660M0666:
This is pure religious politics and nothing else.

Some of the people he wanted to speak against were shrewd enough to intercept him, that's all.

'Cause if it were just a matter of degrading the religious practices of others, all the Pastors desecrating Shrines, all the Imams that fervently wind up their members against other religions and all the Prophets that surreptitiously but unequivocally denigrate the OTHER religion would have also been nabbed.


And the one that Daddy Freeze has been doing is what??

Daviddson:
People are not even being arrested here for hate speech, verbal threats or libel, like they do in western countries where the law works better. Last year, a teenager was jailed for life in the US for merely threatening an attack via Twitter. Do you know how many arrests police make on daily basis in America just because of social media posts or the number of Americans who have been arrested for threatening the president online?

Hanseel1:


Did the pastor threaten anybody with a knife??

there's difference between the topic and what you just said.. don't disgrace yourself

Malcolm101:
The Christian body must condemn the arrest of this pastor by all means.

Have you ever heard of an ordinary imam being arrested?

Today it's this man of God, tomorrow it might be yours, next it might be mine. Soon it becomes a norm.

Before you know it, while worshipping, the police walks in to tell you to lower your voices.

Forget the hate speech nonsense the police are using. We all know for a fact that there is no other police in the world that is as corrupt as the Nigerian police.

We must condemn this. Strongly.

An imam can never be arrested like this. The Muslim body in Nigeria has given many warnings, hate speeches and threats on different occasions. What happened? Who got arrested?

The most dumb statement of 2018... Receive senses in Jesus Name.... Can someone help me say amen to this guy's senselessness?

lazy youth, what does it take to read about what you don't know. democracy started in USA ko, democracy stated in India ni. ode

Hanseel1:




you saw where I said democracy can be traced to ancient Greece right??


all these secondary school kids sef..

Therealev:


I am sitting on the fence on this one. But I do not see a Threat. The Topic was Beware, MURIC threatening to invade NASS if they do not stop the impeachment process on MBuhari is a threat, it's MURIC threatening the NBA for not allowing their Hijab Wearing Sister a call to Bar, but I do not see any MURIC member being nabbed for inciting violence or hate speech. I am not even religious to start with. It's Apparent Politics.

Daviddson:
Of course, but that doesn't give anyone the liberty to make libelous statements against somebody. Or to verbally threaten another person. In case you didn't know, in law, a threat alone is seen as being equal to an actual commission of a crime.

Amarabae:


Why don't him mind his business

Omeokachie:
If that is the "hate speech" then I wonder what Ishaq Akintola and his MURIC gang are still doing walking the streets of this country.

SalamRushdie:
I am 100 percent Catholic and I see no hate speech in that...its left for CWO and knights to enlighten people more about who they are and remove every pillar of profiling and restriction in their groups....this in no way qualifies as hate speech and at best can only be called slander ...the Catholic church must immediatly disassociate it self from this and not let use this demonic Buhari govt use this case as the foundation to spread it's evil hate crime nonsense as a benchmark for suppressing democracy

Reference:


But when Madam O was arrested and incarcerated for maligning a certain pentecostal pastor, a lot of folks went up in ire. Why can't this church in question equally 'forgive and forget'. This is a slippery slope.

talk2percy:
Oga, u said u are a catholic and u seriously saw nothing wrong in that?? Then sth must then be fundamentally wrong with ur thinking faculty. I am not a catholic neither am I the religious type but everything is wrong with what he said. He is even guilty of fallacy of overgeneralization, how can he say Catholic women and their knights are occultic, not even some?? If a member of ur family is a alleged to be a thief, would u be cool with it if someone came out publicly and call the whole members of ur family, say family of eight the family of criminals and whereby it hasn't been ascertained by a court of law that ur brother is truly a criminal?? What is there to enlighten the public about??

Hanseel1:


Democracy can be traced to ancient Greece but modern day democracy started with the French revolution of 1979 ..but the French didn't put it into practice.. USA did.

Hanseel1:


Nigeria is a democracy.
Freedom of speech is entrenched in our constitution.

Without condoning the stupidity of some of these Pentecostal pastors, i don't think he has committed any crime here.
