■ Before making statements or accusations against someone, one must be sure of his facts and evidences. Freedom of speech does not include defamation of character because there are laws governing how we use our mouths or hands.
A lawyer in Enugu State was recently fined the sum of N150m for both general and examplary damages arising from defamation of character of a fellow lawyer. Freedom of speech is not freedom to peddle falsehoods about people.

Stop giving this useless advice of yours!

People have a right to say what they want to say and, yes, face the consequences afterward. It is a right they have by law too. That does not however give anyone the right to illegally abduct them in the way that Burna boy did to this other boy!

djseanjohn77:
If Eedris is in their league, he could have arrested Burna n the past - If the scenario is flipped, can Apki order police to arrest Burna and they will oblige arresting him with cuffs? This is Nigeria where the rich are highly respected and favoured.

I am not Apki fan nor in support of what he did, just thinking out of the box. These celebrities do worse and go scot-free.

Most of us don't like oppression but seeing Akpi's videos with his unnecessary bragging gave me a second thought. If he doesn't learn from this am sure he'll chop Beans next time in a longer prison sentence. Everything no be cruise. It's hurts

There are different types of insults and all can't be graded the same. Calling someone a gay and discrediting his lifetime achievement at the same time is too much to take. Any straight guy hates being associated with gay talks.

I grew up from the concretes like my man Tupac (RIP) will say and also hate oppressiveness if any kind but you see this type of abnormal and satanic accusations of gay issues I for keep Akpi for prison for longer term and as he's coming out na court we go dey throughout till he's sentenced for libel and slander

masterfactor:
Freedom of speech is guarantee but freedom after speech is not guaranteed

That's not how it is now.

Go look the amended constitution.

Akpi can sue an win.

Yes, your are correct provided, you are armed with your facts and evidences against those you malign and bring untold mental and psychological trauma to or else be ready to have your day in court for slander or libel.

Again, having your day in court is completely different from having your arse kidnapped!

Kidnapped?

Arrested, you mean?

Kidnapped! There is mention that a misdemeanor warrant was obtained from any court authorizing the capture of this boy. He was illegally abducted at the instigation of Burna Boy.

It's pathetic cuffing someone for what it's not a criminal offense...

You would do well to stand in as his defense lawyer.

He already has a competent lawyer. The problem is the justice-belongs-to-the-rich-only legal system that tends to penalize the poor on behalf of the rich.

Good!


Then it's needless fretting over him here since he already has "a competent lawyer".

No fret here! Just stating that the silly advise you gave earlier was irritating since the Law clearly gives everyone FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

Anyway, no be me dey accuse am. I'm talking in relation to the arrest of akpi

Freedom also involves obligation.


There's nothing like freedom of speech to peddle falsehoods and damage the character of others because where your freedom ends, someone else's own begins.

Again, you are saying anything new or with meaning. FREEDOM OF SPEECH as proffered to every Citizen by the Supreme Law of the Land means people have a right to say what they want to say and, yes, face the consequences afterward. No one is granted by law the right to illegally abduct any citizen in the way that Burna boy did to this other boy!

Freedom of speech has its limitations.


It is not guaranteed if one uses it as a cover to peddle lies about others.

There are no limitations except the one you imagine in your head because the very same Law that proffers it also defines the potential consequences that follow it leaving it up to those who take advantage of the right to also accept the potential consequences as they do.

What is Rudeboy saying?. Is anyone arguing that Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Data are the same thing? I am confused

"potential consequences", as you call it, has come to play.


Why then the weeping and wailing?

Pay attention to what I said... and make sure to carefully process it before you respond.

The same Law that offers the benefit also states the potential consequences. So, anyone who uses the benefit is already aware and basically acts knowing full well of all of this.

I swear I like this arrest.

Smartpolician to his useless homosexual father
Nairaland, abi na Nigeria, is degrading at the speed of light. It's becoming much harder to see people with working brains on this forum.

You can't even spell "Politician" in your own moniker. No wonder your father is like that. Pele.

There are ways to resolve some things but burna boy just shows us that he is an opressor,he do say some things to the goverment in his music even though he says the truth,now imagine if the goverment locks him

what akpi did was nor right and what burna was not wrong,he shouls have let it sly because the words akpi said will have no impact on him,

it was this same burna boy that sent thugs to beat up mr 2kay some years ago,man is just so violent and shows trait of cultism

Kobojunkie:
Nonsense! There is no excuse for the kidnapping/illegal arrest of this boy by Burna Boy. This is a clear case of overstepping one's bounds and abuse of power by the Nigerian Police. You would think Nigerians would be tired of this nonsense at this point but seems people are not ready to be rid of corruption and abuse in that country.

I think what Burna boy should have done rather is to deal with the idiot himself since you assumed the legitimate arrest was illegal. We will return to jungle justice

TONYE001:
You come online, post inflammatory stuff, defame people's characters, do essentially as you please...not minding the impacts of your actions and the associated consequences.

This post here is outright childish...being childish is what is now termed "cruise."

You are not as hidden as you think you are on Nairaland sha.

Dey play

What of diddy nack burna

Ipobfraud:
You can investigate that or give the job to VDM. If them no give am una go say them be racist, them give am una still they talk.

What proof do you have for claiming the arrest was legitimate?
