The Senate has introduced a bill which seeks to establish a federal government agency to check hate speech in the country.

The bill, sponsored by a former Senate spokesperson, who is now the Deputy Senate Whip, Sabi Abdullahi, passed first reading on the floor of the red chamber on Tuesday.

It is titled, “National Commission for the Prohibition of Hate Speeches (Earn, etc) Bill 2019.


A similar bill sponsored by Abdullahi in the 8th Senate prescribed among others, death by hanging for anyone found guilty of the offence.

Watch how FarahAideed and that fool from Malawi would start complaining.

Nobody is proposing death sentences for corrupt individuals, for bad governance, for election rigging and ballot snatching, terrorism( terrorists are "de-radicalised" and released back to the public when caught in Nigeria no matter the crime). These deserve death sentences more than hate speeches.

If that is the case then we have to hang Buhari first.

Hmm!..hang person wey talk against the government and national yam eaters,but sings and claps for the people wey dey d government wey dey chop our yam...aaarh!..many of us for nairaland Don die be dat ooo...nigeria is finished.

The proponent of " 5% 95 % must be hung then..

I think these e-diots and legislooters should start from "Dogs and Baboon would soak in Blood".

This is why this APC led administration wanted a rubber stamp senate, so that their evil policies will be passed into law with little or no resistance.

APC rode into power through the support of social media, dishing out all forms of propaganda, making all sorts of promises like a man about to enter the honey pot of a woman, decieving the gullible masses with their lies and decits, aided by the social media, now they are in power, they want to burn the bridge through which they rode to power.

Look at how they are clamping down on journalists and voices who are against government actions and policies.

Nigerians, enjoy the disaster you voted for.

Your confidence in the fact that you would never criticize Buhari, while commendable would lead to you and your likes possible extinction.

You think when you finally get to protest you won't be shot in the face or hung in the gallows?

Make una continue

Good. I need to apply as a Hanger (a professional that hangs convicted criminals to death). Government is about to create jobs. IPOB and their supporters are in soup.

The handwork of Buhari clearly , now I believe Buhari will run for third term and all those who oppose him will be termed hate speechers and hung

MelesZenawi:

This is hate speech. So come over, let me hang you.

I remember Kanu speaking publicly against Yorubas and her churches
I remember him calling Buhari names publicly..

I think this law is specifically meant for him and IPOB

The law is for Buhari alone right?

if nigerians had sense, they would recall all their senators and reps until they take back the legislative arm.

Nigeria braceup

Has DSS ever visited Miyetti Allah?
People threatening governors, unleashing terror on regions, releasing terrorist statements
You can keep acting like you can't see what's going on,

They had no reason to when no law was available for such.

It appears you prefer a lawless nation.
