Please shut up and stop showing the world you are lawless and perhaps even a dishonest blogger or Yahooze. If you don't use social media fraudulently and are ready to stand accountable for what you put online, so far as it is not falsehood or overt manipulation of the truth for your own agenda, then you have nothing to worry about.

Don't come her talking as if only Politicians will benefit from this bill. It will protect more ordinary Nigerians in my opinion to include yourself. If someone puts your full name online claiming you robbed their shop, when this is a deliberate and malicious lie, should they not be punished for defaming your character and attracting negative reactions toward you?

Oshigun:


You are the fool. A very ignorant one to boot. The nations you all want to run to and laud as bastions of development, like the UK and USA, have strict rules and regulations in place concerning use of social media. For Nigeria to be unsupervised, with anyone able to say what they want online, when such is offensive and even dangerous to others, is not a way forward. Anything from the Government and you m0r0ns just begin to shout like mad inmates of an asylum without inspecting the benefits of what is suggested.

Is it not UK that jailed a white man who used social media to racially mock a black footballer( Patrice Muamba) who had a heart attack on the pitch while playing football? The character was tracked with his IP address, prosecuted successfully and sent to jail. That is the sort of development that shows some form of regulation must be in place. It is not `rocket science abeg. It is like society at large. Take out police and would London and New York not become lawless with 2 hours? Why should social media then have no regulation when some can use it very dangerously?

Bruv, this is pathetic. clutching at straws now I see. Use the link below and see the stages other Nations are at in regards to dealing with fake news using a map of the world. Burkina Faso and Kenya already have laws in place to deal with fake news. You need to stop pushing the despot angle cuz. Laws to deal with misinformation on social media are inevitable.

Did I just read that Senator Abba Moro also spoke in support of the bill? Is this not the same Abba Moro of the infamous immigration recruitment scam that led to the injury and death of job seekers? A man that ought to be serving a long jail sentence for fraud, abuse of public office, negligence of duty and culpable homicide, is among those making laws to gag Nigerians

Oshigun:


Abaribe and whose army? You are deluded. I think you don't understand how the senate works today. Perhaps you still think it is under the control of Saraki. If I recall correctly, you are one of those emotional jokers who always gets it wrong 100% of the time and I will resurrect this thread when your superman and areafada Abaribe is able to do nada to prevent the passage of this bill into law.

[s][/s] Nigeria is probably the only country in the world with such useless, anti-people bill. While other countries are going about tackling the social media giants, from Facebook to whatsapp against the menace of fake news, Nigeria would rather shut her citizens up. You only see such from a zoo, a "country" ruled by animals.

Nonsense.

djdutchbrah:

You live in the corruption capital of the world and a lawless jungle were court orders means nothing and are disobeyed. And you think this bill is meant for the masses?
It is meant to protect the fantastically corrupt bandits ruling the country.

I did not support hanging anyone for anything. Get your facts right. That will never happen anyway. FFK saying the Buhari Government has killed Kanu and are holding his body offshore on a ship is not hurtful to anyone ba? FFK claiming Buhari has died abroad and even daring to tweet that as reproduced below is annoying to 'ego of small men' only?

https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/wishing-buhari-dead.html




What would people like you have Nigeria become? A joke nation any lunatic can just say what they want ,however inciting or dangerously incendiary such is, with no repercussion at all to serve as a deterrent for such irresponsible behaviour? Would FFK and co, year in and year out, have continued with their many lies, clearly intended to cause trouble for the Government of the day, if robust and punitive laws exist that stops them getting away with doing that?

Oshigun:


Is that then supposed to be a plus or negative for the SE? I blame the Government for never getting their PR right to state clearly what initiatives they move for will entail. That is what always enable some to come here with their cheap scaremongering and hatred against anything related to the Government.

Singapore has passed the same bill into law on 02 October 2019 and many nations will too as it is inevitable since in is now universally agreed that 'fake news' and its dissemination on social media is very dangerous. Anyone who wants to banish ignorance should read the Singapore version of the bill we are seeking to pass, as that of Nigeria will virtually be identical, to note it is not beneficial to leaders alone.

Azmanaty:


Mr man, stop mentioning Singapore when u deem fit. Singapore does not support corruption and provides things like electricity, good roads, hospital etc for its citizens.

U guys only talk about developed nations when it suits ur narrative. Social media regulating shouldn't be ur headache now, they should make that law for corruption and corrupt leaders instead.

djdutchbrah:

They never mention Singapore,USA,UK when it comes to electricity,road network or healthcare. Only when it suits their narratives.
