People should be held for their action ...posting based on miss information should be a crime ? Where do u draw the line

itsme01:

only Ipobians are scared with their fabricated NEWS

Imagine Nairaland without Moderators and banning, some Dunce would fill here with pornography, curse and all sort of crued animal behaviours

Free kick should also dey

MoIbrahim:


It does not cover lying on social media against the state, lies that are enough to cause civil unrest. E.g. someone would just wake up to write about an ongoing war in a particular state and that certain group people are being killed. Reprisal attacks start somewhere else with resultant loss of lives. You go to the first place and find nothing, yet the same person still goes on posting similar news in the future and even has many followers who are graduates, though enlightened enough to discern.

Obiaksnews:
Did you read the post ? He actually said the house of assembly should come out with laws to determine what is false and what's not. that would help to draw a line.

FirstNg1:


No, he has NO point!

The present Federal Government is the greatest DELIBRATE publisher of false information; and any law/penalty MUST first be enacted and enforced against her officers and agents - from the very top to bottom - before ANY law is enact against the public.

Governments at every level in Nigeria are the original BRAZEN perpetrators of falsehood, scams, packaged yahoo yahoo etc, against the Nigerian people; before some of the people (and organisations) reciprocated the 'gesture'.

The government can easily solve the problem by respecting Nigerians enough to stop the culture of lying to us; promptly release info which Nigerians consider relevant; and minimise their plundering of the nation!!!

DELIBERATE INFORMATION VACUMES WILL ALWAYS BE FILLED - ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BECAUSE NATURE ABHORES VACUMES!

So will attempts to expose government falsehood, propaganda and scams be relentless, in man's attempt to get the truth in their god-given right to freedom; and consequently their god-given right to circumvent their oppressors and captors!

NIGERIA IS NOT A FEUDAL REPUBLIC!!!

As a lawyer I'm disappointed ...how can you verify what's true n what's not ...

I'm not responsible for what u see nor believe .....after all I post in my private wall and force no one to see it

And spreading your own fake and false news is how you expose government propaganda?

If you don't spread fake news and hate speech, you have nothing to fear.

Let their army of media aids actually do the job which they are being paid to do, by promptly countering any info which they consider inaccurate or "fake" with the truth - supported with evidence.

As for the so called "hate speech", the term is highly subjective and it will only end up being weaponised against imagined enemies of State actors, their cronies; and effectively bury the opposition - leading to a one-party state and the the actualusation of the demonic third-term agenda!!!
Furthermore, there are enough existing laws to address anything that can can remotely classified as "hate speech".

This bill is nothing but an attempt to silence Nigerians; AND IT WILL NOT WORK!
This is 2019 and the world has since moved on from this type of tyranny and oppression, dressed as regulation.

ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICERS -WITHOUT EXCEPTION, NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE ALL PAID EMPLOYEES OF THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE, NOT OUR LORDS OR MASTERS; AND WILL THEREFORE NOT BE PERMITTED TO SILENCE US.

Nigerians have been scammed by too many governments, too many times to swallow this scam!

Government, their syncophants and paid goons need to wake up from their delusions.

NEVER AGAIN!!!

Jealousy they say is the last class a person attends before becoming a witchcraft member. Same way the suppression of media is the last class a government attends before it becomes a Gestapo government that will oppress, arrest and murder its citizens for speaking up against bad governance. Buhari APC government should continue violating the civil rights of the masses, by 2023 elections they will know how far. No amount of rigging can save you from losing.

A statement like 'Monkeys and the Baboons will be soaked in blood'?

Oga, can you help compile some of the failed promises of APC, hate speech of Buhari and some other goons in APC prior to 2015 election so that we can post it all over social media.

Those bastards want to gag us. Ogun kill all of them.
