As usual smear campaigns. Envy. Focus on your poverty

I'm disappointed, this is an example of irrational thinking. He can as well encourage FG to ban mobile phone and laptops entirely since yahoo boys use it for fraud.

Ban kitchen knives because women are now using it to kill their husbands and boyfriends.

The benefits of social media can never be overlooked, if not for YouTube I wouldn't have learnt coding, graphics design or game development.

If not for Nairaland, I wouldn't have known freelancing works and how to go about getting clients abroad who pay well.

If not for Facebook, I wouldn't know the best and trending products to dropship.

If not for Twitter, SARS will still be out there killing youths for owning an iPhone.

Whats my own, can they really sensor social media? I don't think it's ever going to happen. Nigerians are very smart people with dump leaders so they will end up playing catchup.

Bro, I beseech you to kindly read through the message again.
Don't get too emotional, read through calmly without any sentiment.

First, the headline is totally misleading, secondly, the opening of the message is totally wrong.

The question is, did Bishop in his statement say he is supporting the social media regulation by the Nigerian Government?

Did you see anywhere he mentioned the government?

Please, read through with a calm head and you will understand better.

Ok...thanks
For the first time here am seeing a better nairalander stand to be corrected.
Indeed you are learned and fear God. Do you on what the bible say about men like you?
They will sit among kings and queens to eat and drink...I will invite you for a drink soon!
Cheers

He is wrong on so many levels. Government might as well regulate free speech, social gatherings and even free thought. Government should not be in the business of regulating what people do with their time. Someone that spends 70% of his time on social media should face the consequences alone.
Social media just like any other invention can be used for positive or negative. Many youths that have used social media for positives have made and continue to make millions of naira from it. Do you know how many youths make their living from social media.

What we should be talking about is to enact laws or extending existing libel and sedition laws to cover social media, so that anyone that is hurt by fake news or lies can easily seek redress in court.

Read the comments here and you will agree that we have a serious problem with this generation.

Imagine everyone lashing out on the man of God for no reason

If you have anything against what he said , I bet you need to check your head.

It's either you hate the truth or you are just too damaged beyond redemption.

What advice will you now give your younger ones or your unborn children....unfortunately, some of you already have kids and you are against such a godly advise!

Tell me the kind of children you will raise if you find this hurting.

Workch:
baba just dey vex because social media don dey open Boys eyes hence business will drop.

At least he has few people like you that are eternal morons and simpletons he can cash out on.

studentofTruth:


That speech is obviously one-sided. The baba presupposes that all youths use social media to chat meaninglessly all day, without knowing that, for some, the productivity he's talking about lies on those social media. For many, their business is primarily based on those social media. Examples include bloggers, vloggers, freelancers (programmers, graphic designers, etc), dropshipers, and minimportation fellows, digital marketers!

valentineuwakwe:
They have taken away so many things from us...no food, no house, no healthcare, no good road, no jobs, yet they want to take away free speech from us...God why?

Papa God help this country!

Strongbest:





That's why you may need to read through again.

Using the word most and some youths in his statement clearly rules out one sidedness as opined by you.

Using the word "expecially those that are not adding values" in his speech shows he takes cognizance of those using the social media positively to earn a living (in godly manner).

So, it's either you didn't understand what you have read or just want to be controversial.

WaffenSS:


I don't know where you got the idea that government is responsible for giving you food, housing, and jobs.

But they can take our lands?

valentineuwakwe:



I was not saying they should give you free stuff but provide a conducive environment for it..in America, don't they have social nets for the poor?

IlovePMB:
If you old men dont take time, we the youths of this God forsaken country would rise one day and wipe you all out. You old men who have refused to die or make way for the youths have pushed us to the wall enough. No food, no job, poor education system, no light, no good road, poor healt system and yet the little thing that helps the depressed youths to manage their frustration you old men want to regulate.

If you are a true child of God sell all those your useless private jets and give them to poor Nigerian youths to start up business.
