That should be for influencers giving out professional advice or training. |

Such a fantastic law. Unfortunately, it will kill the morale of so many "online entrepreneurs" in Nigeria. It shouldn't because it simply forces people to stick to what they have mastery in. But since most youths are hustlers without any specific career in mind or plan in the head beyond "Make man just make money", this will seriously affect them. It is well. I guess. |

I’ve said it several times, Nigeria and the world needs to regulate social media Too many ediots doing stup3d things and causing serous negative influence on the society |

Mariangeles:So when a "society" (i know you meant government and not society) is able to provide for its people, they have the right to stifle freedom of expression or any other civil liberties for that matter. I have often said it that those of you around here who pretend to have a passion for democratic norms would make the most repressive and authoritarian supporting group of people. You only say the things you say because your candidate lost the election. |

TheBizGenius:The Chinese law doesn't state in absolute terms that you MUST have a Uni degree alone, BUT you MUST have the necessary "certifications" in what you are practicing. Industry-specific certifications that you can get within 1 year are even more important than 4 to 5-year Uni degrees. Nigeria and indeed the rest of the world needs this kind of law otherwise massive online disinformation would lead to sustained Civil Wars and even trigger a 3rd World War. Enough of the political correctness in dealing with a lot of the horrendous toxic hate speech and FAKE news we see almost everyday being relentlessly posted on YouTube, Wikipedia, FB, X, Nairaland, Sahara Reporters, People's Gazette, and even some segments of mainstream media. |

AlphaTaikun:Unlike certifications run by motivational speakers, especially online by unknown organizations, most acceptable certifications are conducted by bodies that have ethical standards beyond even the universities. So, having those certifications are a better guarantee that you will be stifled to stay on point when discussing subject matters. Imagine that you are ICAN certified and you do TikTok post with incorrect accounting figures, ICAN, has a body, will sanction you as a member. Heheheheh. It will be such a fantastic law. |

omenka:"Those of you"? "You only say the things you say because your candidate lost the election"? What nonsense are you on about? |

Ishilove:We will never be ready. I've always been a pro-regulation, but the moment anyone lifts the littlest of finger in that regard or as much as move a tongue muscle in proposition to reign in the madness we call social media space in this country, the same people applauding this move are those whom youd find at the very frontlines of attack against same. They'd tell you the government is trying to suppress free speech, it doesnt matter if the "free speech" is a lie that threatens national security or could result in some sort of socio-political unrest. Theyre simply hardwired to oppose anything the government or those in support of the government do. Matter of fact, recently, the Sultan of Sokoto was the target of the acidic attacks when he made the call. But here they are shamelessly supporting it. I get so irritated whenever i see these shameless display of double standards. |

Great move in the right direction Too many buffons in Nigeria just spew nonsense in the name of content and pollute the digital space E.g the Apch..eat data boys ![]() |

If this is tried in Nigeria 80% sanity will return to our youth plus dem VDM, Peller, Blessing CEO or whatever will sharparly loose relevance |

TheBizGenius:Succinctly stated. Your summations right ABOVE are on point. I'm glad you referenced the ICAN certifications as an example of what we are saying here. I'm indeed irritated by the level of mediocrity, disinformation and lawless behavior of some younger posters on this NL Website (and other online platforms) right under the nose of a lot of the mods here. The so-called AI antispam bot is a low-budget thing that doesn't do the deeping work of cleaning this discussion forum. Some mods here create new thread topics and right from the FIRST page, you will begin to see relentless toxic defamations of prominent individuals, disinformation and more. These NL moderators cannot say they don't see these trolls but they choose to leave them alone. The pussyfooting (with reference to whipping everyone into line by the authorities) is IRRESPONSIBLE. There's NO absolute freedom anywhere. |

sonnie10:It depends on what you are talking about. You don't necessarily need a Bsc if all you need is a technical certificate or if you are talking tailoring. Sometimes you might not need certification at all if you have gotten years of experience. For example, no Professor of Business Administration could withstand Mr Otedola when it comes to commerce nor could any music lecturer defeat someone like Late Michael Jackson in music although he had no tertiary education. The law says you must be skilled in whatever you want to present to the public. |
