What’s their definition of hate speech?

biafranbaby:
So these people want to force me to love afonjas.
Never!
I'll rather hang.

ZombieTERROR:


Rubbish talk bro

We want death sentence for looters in public office .....

Once a competent court finds one guilty of misappropriation of funds... Life ban from politics and possible death sentence..

That's only when Nigeria becomes interesting

kelvd4real:


A good leader should tolerate criticism (Not expect hate speech). These are 2 different things.
I don't support this bill because it is not well defined hence can be misused. However, I agree that hate speech needs to be checked. The role hate speech played leading to Rwanda Civil war is still fresh in our memories. Also hate speech and fake news helped to fuel the Nigerian civil war and many other crimes against humanity.

See some documented cases and know that it is a very dangerous thing if not checked.

a good leader should expect criticism not hate speech

FrLukas:
Lol. I pray they pass this bill into law.

Nigeria is about to become interesting.

madmohamed:
they will die in Nigeria not in Biafra mad people

ArmaniUhuru:
Congratulations Nigerians, you did well in the last election. You guys said that you didn't want the Senate led by Saraki because he refused to banter with Buhari's cabal, he stood resolute for the best interest of Nigeria. Today you have elected a Senate that does exactly what you voted for. Congratulations again

ZooOga:
They can't pass that law and get it signed fast enough with all the loose and reckless mouths running around the country.

NoSidonLook:
The Banana Republic

What happens to corrupt polithiefians and treasury looters

We all know that this bill is designed to silence any one that dares speak against this evil government

Animal Farm by George Orwell comes to mind

Indeed just as the Bible says, "when the wicked rules, the people mourn"

But wasn't the so-called wicked elected by people
Was it stones that voted for the wicked

Zombies see wetin una mumu don cause

the mourning hasn't even started yet. Wait till next year when they begin to unveil their more evil anti-people policies

ItsMeAboki:
Good development - Shildren of hate over to you.

Dummy Nigerians wouldn't seize to amaze me. The mofo that is sponsoring the bill if searchlight is shown on him, you will be shocked the billions he has looted. Who supposed to get hanged by the neck if not corrupt politicians? What could have incitted more carnage than Buhari's barboon speech? Let's use our brain this country oo.


I am not from East but people have right to decide who and how they want to be governed. What is north bring to the table of the Commonwealth of Nigeria. How much does north generate for Nigeria? About 70% of all the VATs is from Lagos. Oil is from SS. Tourism is from the West. Business is from SE. Apart from the Christian NC that coming up gradually, what is north bring to the table? I will tell you. Religious bigotry, mass illiteracy, terrorism, kidnapping, procreation the list is almost endless.

Nigerians have the right to ask for how they want to be lead. About 12 states in north jumped at Sharia law. VATs from "alcoholic" south are used to fund the north. How else will you define hypocrisy?

IdisuleOurOwn:
Ango Abdullahi, Junaid Muhammad and all those Northerners should take note.

Horlufemi:


You uneducated swine.

Hate speech is not Crictism.

Hate speech is a statement intended to demean and brutalize another, or the use of cruel and derogatory language on the basis of real or alleged membership in a social group. Hate speech is speech that attacks a person or a group on the basis of protected attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Example of hate speech: Yoruba is the problem of this country and they should be wiped off the face of the Earth

The bill: if a person dies as a result of your hate speech you die by hanging.
