He knows what he is talking about. You are the one not getting it. As long as economy is concerned, EU membership is of greater value than NATO membership.

tammie24:
I dont think Isreal gives a sh1t

We know where they stand from time

blacksam01:
It doesn't matter, reason the EU refused to admit turkey into the European union...

Isreal Doesnt need turkey anyways

Turkey has decided to completely sever its economic and trade ties with Israel and has also closed its airspace to Israeli aircraft.

Turkey announced Thursday that it has severed all economic and trade relations with Israel, in a move Ankara says is a response to the war in Gaza.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that the measures include the suspension of all commercial exchanges and the closure of Turkish airspace to Israeli aircraft.

Fidan accused Israel of what he termed “massacres” against Palestinians in Gaza and charged that Israel is deliberately making the enclave uninhabitable. He further claimed that Israel is blocking humanitarian aid and warned that its policies endanger regional stability.

The minister said the decision reflects Ankara’s broader response to what it views as ongoing crimes in Gaza. He added that Turkey will continue to work with Qatar and Egypt in efforts to address the conflict.

Well... Guess his principal sees no harm in it till it sinks them both.

This is why a lot of them can't survive outside politics. No corporate organization can tolerate their unprofessionalism.

erad:
Now this makes a lot of sense.

I agree with you. I feel there should be a dedicated account for his official duty and another for personal bants.

It's free for all out there, no rules of engagement. Very unethical.

ogmask:
I think the fact that he is an official spokesman to the fct minister disqualifies him from making some utterances. Whatever comes out of his mouth is seen as an official position of his master. It will be difficult to seperate his personal opinion from his official position. For me, he should concentrate on his job of spokesperson to the minister until such. a time that he seizes to be.

erad:
Bro... I get you once again.

But the same right you have to speak on societal issues and air your opinions without being an elected official is the same right Lere has. That's why I said you were being emotional.

Lere is stakeholder in Nigeria as well as you and me. He has a right to air his opinions according to his constitutional right to freedom of speech that you spoke about earlier.

He aired his opinion, he's not trying to enforce it. He only made his thoughts known like most of us do in a more civil way than most people I've seen online. We can have a different opinion from him without trying to villainize him.

We've seen people say worse things than him and and we look the other way because we like them or they belong to our part of the divide.

MaiDeribe:

Lere Olayinka should be fired. He is political baggage. He has no idea what his Job is.....He is not a legislator. Tinubu is allowing all the appointees without mandates run around and insult his electoral base.

He should set an example with one of them. Fire him out of the blues. And tell Nigerians he wont tolerate anyone that tries to trample on Nigerians rights to freedom of speech. We are not in the military era. This is democracy.

Zincfingers:
Please show us where Lere Olayinka was appointed by Tinubu ?
I’m sure your own version of democracy is when only you have the monopoly to malign others .
If you don’t like what Lere is doing , seek redress in the courts . That’s what democracy is all about

jaxxy:
I don't see Israelis attacking random Iranians or Palestines in other countries just because of their differences.

Zincfingers:
They should sack him for airing his opinion Abi .
When have you called for the arrest of Sheikh Gumi and his co terrorist sponsors ?
When will you call for the carpet bombing of Sambisa and other terror hubs .
You better gave your front

erad:
OK... I get where you're coming from.

But his suggestion isn't preventing freedom of speech in any way. Freedom of speech has never been the issue, the abuse of it has. If social media existed when the constitution was written, I'm sure it wouldn't be as vague as it is.

I get you, but I also want you to understand the constitution has to protect everyone, as well as laws. Now when random people come and harass/bully someone online, that's freedom of speech, right? But what laws protect the person being harassed/bullied? At least if you'll throw stones at me, do it with your full chest and with the understanding that there will be repercussions if you're doing it maliciously.

So if his intention is to gag people from expressing themselves rationally, then that's just wrong. But if his intentions is to protect those at the receiving end of cyber bullying and online harassment, I think he has a point.

Freedom of speech and reckless statements are different.

LagosOrigin:
He's only de-marketing tinubu amongst the youths
Nothing like wotowoto in what he's saying .

DeLaRue:
He doesn't work for the President, and I don't see what he has done to warrant your call for his sacking.
You don't like what he says about the people you support?
I thought you people were advocates of unrestricted freedom of speech. Let him talk now.

LibertyRep:
Wait, is this because of the NIN and ID for opening and managing social media accounts as suggested by Lere?

Does he not have a right to his own opinions again?

Gorem2013:
If you're picked up now to come and defend this, another story about how there's no more press freedom in Nigeria will surface

Why not ask your fake news Nigeria coroner and his 40 thieving friend to swear if they're clean. Pandora dey there oo
