They better go to court to challenge this and come out to protest. When they complied with the illegal Twitter ban, it’s like they didn’t know their turn was coming. Come out and protest then drag this government to court and publicise the case. You have to embarrass this government before they will listen. 2 Likes |

J2381: Nobody in power likes press freedom. They don't like the scrutiny. Not even celebrities like press freedom. Whether in Africa, Asia, Europe or America. That's why strong systems are put in place to ensure those in power can't tamper with freedoms at will and without legal course without personal cost to them. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Media Bill is necessary since Nigeria’s information space is bloated with lies. And Nigeria News Papers anti-anti media bill stance isn’t convincing when scrutinised. This is why: before the information revolution, when Nigerians relied on newspaper stands, Nigerians were pretty critical of their broadsheets and tabloids, labelling them either Godfathers of political party mouth pieces. Indeed, Al jazeera, CNN, BBC and other Western media organisations have many times dismissed Nigeria News Papers as Political Party mouth pieces, crushing my boasts that Nigeria is home to some of the developing world’s most vibrant free press spaces. How or when the tabloids morphed into Free Press deserving of backing in their stance against politically motivated censorship, is eyebrow rising. We are all rightly weary of censorships but existential threat posed to Nigeria by unregulated media – either by the media or government – I believe warrants it. The Bill is to me as if an emergency measure to safe guard the State. Someone on Niraland or perhaps I saw this on one of the Nigeria Televised news Youtube pages, made the point worth reiterating and that was, ‘finally, we need a Nation (existing) in which to debate or fight for improved freedoms. |

According to the groups, the Nigerian government and the various lawmakers want to use the bills to cage media practice in the country, and control the access and level of information made available to Nigerians. The so called Journalists in Nigeria are part of the problem. The media houses are working in tandem with the government against true journalistic ethos and they have kowtowed and espoused the Government's FALSE narratives on every issue of importance to the citizens. This brand of "brown envelope" journalism has given the government the impetus to keep abridging and curtailing PRESS FREEDOM and citizens' rights to know. It goes without saying, "When you lay with dogs, you're bound to catch fleas." It's sad to watch these M0R0NS that claim to be journalists especially on ChannelsTV kiss the asses of government officials to the point that it makes you wanna puke. 1 Like |

A leopard will never change its skin! Buhari will always be Buhari it is well A remanence of the infamous decree 101 of 1984. U all hang on and survive any which way u deemed fit just 2 years more we shall be free. This is a very big lesson to everyone of us "once a thief will always be a thief" once a dictator will forever remain one. Good luck as we survive this. |
