Ibusho:Exactly my point, you people are making it to seem as if this cartoonist/ columnist attacked the church by that cartoon, that this notion or belief I want to clear. And if you accused the cartoonist of being biased or that he committed a reporting prejudice by siding with one party. You are right. The innuendos are for biodun fatoyinbo not for the church. Fatoyinbo has a cause of action if he has integrity to sue a great deal of people ranging from Timi, busola, and this cartoonist for libel... So don't make it a Church attack. Jerubaal- let the gods fight for themselves. Let him fight for himself to clear his name. |

Xisnin: My tots exactly. I don't agree with Abimbola Adelakun's write-ups many a times, but she's a brilliant and talented writer. Secondly, if we allow religious sentiments to becloud and serve as our gauge for public discourse, then we are in for another round of "slavery". I think Punch is just trying to "protect their Garri" 2 Likes |

abayomilaws:Did you make your research about the examples I gave or you just jumped to comment as usual? Now you said in a sane country he would not have been fired, i made you know that you were ignorant of how things truly work in sane countries. You fit a perfect example of literate and ignorant.The bolded is the reason why I will not reply you further after this . Now what is the first impression that comes to your mind at the first glance of the cartoon if you were not a Nigerian? A man urinating on the bible .we forget that we now live in a global village. The point is the the cartoonist actually made it an attack on the church by using the bible which is used world wide and not just in Nigeria. A person who isnt nigerian or wasnt aware of the story and doesn't know what went down will see that cartoon at the first glance and the only thing they see is a man urinating on the bible ,that is it. I just dont know how else to cure this ignorance of yours. You are accusing fanatics of being too emotional about religion, you the exact opposite of the coin, you are not applying reason here and rationality has left you. Both you and the religious fanatics are extreme opposites of each other. Anyway, I am done replying. |

joseph1832: A regulated media is tantamount to a dystopian society, bro. Regulated media is a one of the characteristics of a dystopian society. Regulated media denotes oppression of the populace. A regulated media directly contradicts democracy, and by proxy, freedom of expression. Take away the voice of the people, and you may as well take away their freedom. You need to read Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, to fully comprehend the harmful characteristics of what you suggested. |

That Adelakun woman has always been offensive though she makes sense sometimes. As he is always ridiculing Christianity, Christians and God. She also has no respect for elders. She can abuse anybody. Nonsense. |

KoiceReloaded:Seriously? You think what we have in Nigeria is a democracy? Lol. Beside, you missed the part where I said "by regulated, let's know who and who is saying what and what". That's what I mean by regulated social media. I know you know, social media is full of unknown people who use it to spread unverified news in other to spread falsehood and incite the public. |

[quote author=Kingosytex post=80106928]I just thank and appreciate the ALMIGHTY GOD for christianity. Its a pity!! The editor deserve what he got. Many imams and alfas have been accused of raping minors even in the mosque, so the question is: has the editor ever used a cartoon of a man urinating on the quran to buttress his point? The answer is a NO... That Christians are peace loving doesn't mean we are fools!!![/quote a child can only play with his mamas breast not the fathers scrotum |

JeromeBlack:as regard the emboldened. Sometime ago news broke out that Kiss Daniel lampooned Busola Dakolo only for Kiss Daniel to come out and refute it saying he never said so. Now the indicidual who broke that news is unknown. If Kiss Daniel wants to sue for libel, who will he sue? My stand is social media is being used as a tool to spread falsehood in other to deceive the unsuspecting masses who swallow whatever they see without questioning the source. Whenever an indicidual say something, let's know who he is so if what he said is false, we know who to hold responsible. Accountability for one's word is key, bro. |

joseph1832: What we have in Nigeria is a flawed democracy whereby freedom of expression is guaranteed, but freedom after expression isn't. It's a far cry to what a real democracy ought to be. However, regulating the media will further aggravate this, and would completely eliminate the little freedom of expression we have right now. If people's anonymity is taken away from them, only a suicidal person will come online and call out a ailing government. Unregulated social media and free press give people the opportunity to air their opinion without fear of reprisals from the government. The bolded will invariably take that away, and socio-economics and cultural issues like human right abuse will take precedence. Is that what you want? Really?? Censoring the media has no place in the 21st century. It's a tool fascist governments cynically utilize to keep their denizens in line. U.S.S.R used it, and it nearly resulted to the worst nuclear catastrophe of the modern era. |

joseph1832: Everything has it's pros and cons, but in a situation whereby the pros are greater than the cons, leaning in favor of the later will cause more harm than good. Censoring the media will not only curb the truth, but will foster propaganda in the void vacated by the truth. |

KoiceReloaded:now this is exactly the problem. Freedom of expression doesn't give the right to spread falsehood, lies and deceit without being held accountable, does it? What you said in the emboldened is the very reason why falsehood aka fake news thrives today. All because of anonymity and the zeal to get traffic. Free press is not what I'm against, hope you know in the world of journalism every journalist have ethics and codes they adhere to? Can same be said for social media? This is what I'm trying to say. Unregulated social have made many people, especially bloggers post nonsense because they want traffic. 1 Like |

joseph1832: Bro, free press and freedom of expression go hand in hand. The right to free expression is actually one of the qualities of free press. By censoring people's right to use the social media as they deem fit, you're limiting free press by proxy. As for the bolded, there are laws set aside to tackle libels and slanders, and the last time I checked, they work just fine. |
