The Death Of Freedom Of Speech by NLSOFT: 5:55am On Nov 22, 2019
Freedom of speech in mass and social media must be considered one of the major achievements of our modern age alongside with Internet and the latest discoveries in medicine. We have a precious chance of making our judgments based on different points of view presented in various informational sources.

Due it was a crude struggle for freedom of speech in Nigeria, dead even before arrival. The freedom of speech which starts from ancient times. The tradition of freedom of speech came to us from Greece. Greeks cultivated freedom of speech and held special forums, where famous orators performed and people could have their say.


People always longed to be free of any obligations and formalities, built up by a state, but even now there are limits to the freedom given to mass and social media that are considered the speakers of the public.

Some journalists, bloggers, influencers, and politicians consider censure to be illegal and try to limit the censure percentage. According to the last data provided by CNN, the level of censure varies from 80% to 10% depending on the level of prosperity and political situation in the country. while there is no consideration of censure in Nigeria yet freedom of speech has been under attack by the Nigeria Corrupt Government over time in memorial


Freedom of speech is just a formality in countries, countries like Nigeria where the communist party is the only political force in power. Everything that is opposing to the main ideas and principles of the party is blocked by censure.


But in the developed countries of the west of Europe and America, it is easy to pass the censure and provide the information for publishing or issuing.

Censure now covers only items and matters that contain strong language, provocations, violence and other things that influence the outlook of the citizens. While in Nigeria censure covers the ruling party, the corrupt government, and her leadership of talk and you die


There are quite different attitudes toward censure. Some consider that it helps to refine the media from the dirty influence. Others consider that it limits freedom of speech and freedom of choice. Most probably censure and freedom of speech has to turn into total chaos in my country Nigeria As the Nigeria Government and her Law Makers make plans to implement the death penalty for hate speech

May God Help The Poor Masses Of Nigeria
