Those media houses were seized because of intel that said insurgents were using them to move things
Abi na only headline una dey read for Apcheat grin
Were moving things, Nigeria media houses across the nation even in the south. That's the problem, the person we love can't do anything wrong.
There is evidence that this guy lied about Tinubu, but you're still attacking Tinubu for wanting the guy to take responsibility.
There was no evidence of media houses "moving things" but you are still justifying Jonathan's behaviour. Be your own judge here

Nobody is attacking anybody
GEJ was called all sorts of names but never bothered because governance and politics are separate entities
Please read the story of that headline you posted and you would see that

Good, they should use same dedication to arrest bandits posting on TikTok

Those print media carried news that GEJ didn't like and he did what no Nigeria president ever did and has not been replicated till today. So, your saint GEJ was more than bothered

The health status and medical records of the president should be in the public domain and not hidden like some treasure. If not then people are Gona speculate and spread rumours

Don't support nonsense that you, yourself can't be caught doing. My problem with people like you is that you can't even do what you are supporting. You will see some people here supporting jungle justice but you will never see them where jungle justice is being administered let alone they partake in the act
That’s why we are higher beings, ability to understand our fallibilities. I don’t understand why we fail to understand that for Nigeria to work, they are tenets of democracy which freedom of speech is among that must be upheld no matter who ox is gored.

I feel sorry for him. One month behind bars. And it could potentially get worse.

Nigerians, one of the reason to purge your selves of this autocracy is staring at you frontal. As Helinues said, this is only testing the mic.

If you allow Tinubu to rig himself back into Aso rock in 2027, then say a thundering goodbye to the little freedom of speech you currently enjoy, let's not even add hunger and material deprivation.

Don't play.

All I am seeing above me are supporters and shufflers of free speech. Na general market, everyone will get their own including the supporters. We are watching.
Free speech you said? Someone to publicly advocate for your dad's death on social media with the intention of causing panic and generating traffic and here you're preaching free speech.

There's nothing like free speech when it infringes on the right of others. You will be punished and jailed! It's the law!

Get lost with your free speech, does it authorize anyone to spread false information,? The guy should be sentenced to 20 years with hard labor to serve as warning to others

.

Your statement is an example of what I am saying. You are in your house boldly telling another person to get lost. Based on the law, I can sue for whatever I deemed right and it will be up to who has more judicial influence to interpret what you meant by the word. Sometimes listen to those your don’t agree with, you may get a thing or two about alternative ideas

The first time I read that story I knew that the guy will be in jail. People writing none existent fake stories because the have the platform. Just like what obtains here in nairaland people insulting Peter Obi with all sorts evil words and other groups insulting the president as drug Barron. We should learn to respect our elders no matter what.

I think no one has stopped you from releasing statement. Just be guided is not falsehood

I think bloggers should be registered and well vetted, the ones who are not registered should be declared illegal, government can have people online vetting and scrutinising them, they are easy to discover and trace...they mislead and misinform the young ones too much.

We are practicing democracy. Nigerian is democracy country, if d president is not doing well, d citizens has d right to tell d president dat he is not doing well

The fact that one person tolerates insults does not mean that another person must also do the same thing undecided

There is big difference between calling out the president where her has erred and spreading outright falsehood against the president including telling lies about his health or claiming that he is dead when this is not true!
