If Nairaland were in kenya 90% of us will be serving our jail term now, most Africa leaders are dictatorship

A fourth-year university student will spend two years in jail for posting on social media unprintable insults against President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Alan Wadi Okengo, alias Lieutenant Wadi, was accused of posting the messages on his Facebook account on December 18 and 19 at an unknown place within Kenya.

Wadi, 25, a political science student at Moi University, was arrested as he attempted to sneak out of the country through the Busia border on December 31.

He was brought back to Nairobi CID headquarters where he was interrogated by cybercrime police sleuths.

Wadi, who looked composed, told Milimani Law Courts resident magistrate Ms Ann Kaguru that he was ready to “apologise to President Kenyatta personally if he was not handed down a custodial sentence.”

The charge against the university student stated that “the message he sent was calculated to to bring into contempt the lawful authority of the President of the Republic of Kenya.”

PLEA NOT FACTORED

His plea was not factored when he was he was being sentenced after pleading guilty to two charges of hate speech and demeaning authority of a public officer, contrary to Section 132 of the Penal Code.

In her ruling, Ms Kaguru said , “the offence is serious and a deterrent penalty is called for to serve as a warning to others abusing the social media forums.”

She proceeded to pronounce the sentence after saying that “he was convicted on his own plea of guilty.”

A state counsel, Mathew Karori, told the magistrate that the accused was arrested while he was about to cross the border through “panya routes” (unofficial exit) to a neighbouring country.”

Mr Karori urged the court to treat the remorseful student as a first offender although he said the abuse of the social media forum should be discouraged.

Wadi was accused of posting the two offensive messages when National Assembly passed the Security Laws (Amendment) Act No 19 of 2014 on December 18 and the following day when President Kenyatta signed the Bill to become law last year.

The first indictment was that he posted a hate speech message intended to stir up ethnic hatred between various Kenyan communities on the other by alleging a particular tribe should be deported to their home county.

obongtunji:
You shouldn't be commenting on this because you don't Even know your country, can you imagine asking the OP this kind of question. In the first place, OP sent figure for each state and not state capital, I can't imagine myself asking OP for Asaba's figure because Asaba is not a state but state capital, then it is not meduguri, it is maiduguri and maiduguri is the capital of Borno state. If what you need is figure for maiduguri alone specify please and I even doubt it.

OK YOU ARE RIGHT I DID NOT CHECK WELL, I JUST HATE ANY ATTEMPT TO BRING GMB DOWN COS HIS OUR HOPE

States in each geo-political zone are listed and you are asking for 'MEDUGURI'?! When was your 'MEDUGURI' state created? They keep telling me there are some ignoramus on NL; now i believe! Observing the trend of discussion on this NL can help your ignorance. For your info 'MEDUGURI' MAIDUGURI is the capital of Borno state. Clear?[/b]

So that is your perception of ownership? Gullible mindset.

You Just take some irrelevant traditional positions and You think You are in charge. How does the position of Oba affect the day-to-day life of an average lagosian?

In case You don't know, yorubas are gradually becoming minority in lagos. I live in Maryland, every Old house here is owned by yoruba, every new house under constructions is owned by Ibo. Gradually the Old houses are giving way to new houses and some people still think they own Lagos because the own the Obas living in rusty Old houses.

Calling me bastard over the internet is all You Can do while we take over your land and push You out like Isreal is doing to palestine.

mtchewww.

you just confirm it Lagos is my land, just continue wasting your resources and energy in my land instead of you to develop your own cave village, it just a matter of time you will see what will happen to your like.

mployer:
Nobody owns lagos

tell your grand father and call all your kings man to come and occupy lagos and be install a new Oba of lagos, Oba of epe, Ikorodu, Badagry , Oshodi, Egbeda, Agege, Mushin, and all the Obas in Lagos since no one owns lagos your bastard father can as well be our king in all these areas mentioned above you this useless citizen and hopeless tribe of Nigeria.

GMB is more popular now than before GEJ and his saTAN want to pull him down by force but experience has shows that who ever GEJ want to pull down, God always pull them up. so, you now what that means

ahaika23:
WHO gives a fuiuuck, yorubas deserve it and more for their f00lishness to the ab0kis

you are stupid as your post for insulting Yorubas

oh good for them, we are yet to find our Girls in Nigeria

Jamean:
Yeah!

Appealing to the minds of the uninformed average Nigerian, why not also go to cities where the elites are or storm offices on the island where you have vast majority of politically informed people, that really understand the workings of an economy.

Tell them how you intend stabilizing at least electricity to reduce their overhead costs. Then you know what the gimmicks and intricacies of a campaign really is.

It's more than just campaigning. When we see that you do not renege on your promises then we'll know you really have Nigeria's interest in view.

When they get to Aso rock, and start flying executive jet, they don't even remember what Keke looks like anymore or how their policies can meet the need of that girl with a bowl of soft drinks on her head.

Shiooor! Oti so oyibo fun won, won fi eti sile. If you like go from koro to koro. I personally don't trust you guys will bring change, neither can I give GEJ another chance.

CHANGE ko, my BALANCE ni.

We need fresh positive blood and initiative.

Then start a political party

The Igbo generally need to be educated about History and people of Nigeria. IGBOS DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY
