I used to think what people say on nairaland as regards paid government agents parading themselves here to change narratives in the public were just a fluke to make discussions flow, I'm beginning to see serious reasons why they hold onto that notion.

This one don dey follow chop yam. Yanning dust

See this idiot, social media na una problem ba, social media gbuo gii

Desmond EDIOT on the beat!

So this one join youth abi Not too young to run my foot...... Idiot fellow!!! You can never be among this our new nigeria... 2023 I made sure u relegate politically

peacettw:
I agree with Desmond.

Social media remains a vast sea of uncharted territory and regardless of its uses, it has proven time and time again to be deadly - a potential weapon of mass destruction that lacks any clear stringent regulatory laws to curtail its excesses.

And irrespective of what you and I may think now, let it be clear that a time will eventually come when the world will collectively agree that this hydra-headed monster called social media must be reigned in to mitigate against any future man-made disasters.

You are asking for the whole world to become like Saudi Arabia where posting your opinion gets you beheaded. The only way to counter lies is with the truth, what you are proposing is first silly and also dangerous.

You mean Desmond HEdiot?

See person wey do toilet as constituency projects ooo

Quiet your buccal mucosa and cavity because PD-Pigs ain't better. Both have destroyed the future and destinies of future generations except the present day youths do something to effect a positive turnaround.

Again this is where you are getting it wrong.

In everything, there should be a balance hence the need for regulatory laws that are fair and just. And remember, over time these laws can be revised just like any other existing laws.

I simply believe it is dangerous to let the social media stratosphere run amock.

This is an extract from a longer speech. He also did say that the the looting youth can be engaged with job opportunities. It is also true that many people who read social media are instantly triggered into action without any investigation of the facts.

Always distinguish between those who protested peacefully and those who looted. They are not one and the same.

Those that called you Desmund Iddiot were not wrong. You can never talk like this if you were never part of the political class. Oti je dodo. O o le so ododo mo.

oloyedewaris:
The truth is social media is affecting our thinking, and these yeyebrities will not want to say the truth because of what their fans will say

I will boldly support putting limit to social media usage

We should start with the government officials that use it to tell lies and deceive the people.

Desmond Eliot na Delta guy?

feoyewo:
This guy is mad I swear, imagine this delta Igbo guy claming to be a Yoruba talking rubbish

This guy is a total failure..*smh*

Regulation of social media goes against freedom of speech principles, now you are giving the government license to prosecute, jail and kill you because of the things you say. Now where they will abuse it is that whatever they say is the truth no matter how contradictory it is.

Just look at the Army trading blames with the Lagos State government trying to cover up what happened. Are you going to tell me it is a good idea to let them decide what you can and can't say?

This mumu too don join them 9ja which way .

80% of our youth will say samething if they find theirselves in same position he is..i will not blame him.What just pains me most,the celebrities that have been advocating for #End Sars,will be same celebrities that will be used by our politicians for their campaign wen election comes..We re not being honest to oursrlves.

Naija yoots which way forward? Someone is trying to point things out n the best you ppl could do is curse, curse n curse. We are different people we can't reason the same way. If you are using social media yus it well, period.

Bruh.. Bruh.. See eehnn if you are doing a job and you are sure of yourself you won't give a fvck about what the social media says about you, see trump as perfect example only if you know the number of insults he reserves on social media every single.. Does he care? Hell no Americans even made a naked statue of him during his campaign

This guy will destroy his political career faster by himself. This guy will go obscure with the old politicians.

The only way to "REGULATE" Social Media as a "GOVERNMENT" is to be proactive. Focus on GOOD GOVERNANCE thoroughly let the primary focus of your governance be on Core Good Governance and let you information/ public relations department not be asleep in the area of sharing of REAL and GENUINE information in time and also RELATE very well with the populace and the Social Media will have little or nothing negative to say about a Government and its Governance.

Like someone said focus on good governance and leave social media and social media will showcase your good governance.
