He critized Jonathan and didn't defame him.
How can an idiot woke up and post on his X that someone child is dead because of social media validation even when you know the story is not true. That is not freedom of speech but freedom to jail.

Don't mind those useless people supporting bad thing, if I was the one that troll will spend 5 years in jail.

wellmax:
GEJ is a politician, politicians know people will abuse and insult them. People today insult Tinubu without any consequences.

But attacking the child of a private person is a no go area.

Let the guy rot in jail.

I agree with you.

You can do that to me but not my child.

So you are justifying the Trolls action?

Will you keep quiet!!!!

I didn’t know this Sowore is this stvpid. Someone is wishing an innocent little girl dead and you are comparing that to trolling a sitting president whom many troll at will. The innocent child should be left out of whatever thing is happening. Sowore, you need to get some senses!

DeepSight:
Its bad, but not something any one should be imprisoned for.

I support what Adekunle GOLD did, that troll messed by defaming his kid.

ceejay80s:
just shut up,
if it was Ur brother that was sentenced that way, U would have been on nairaland criticizing and throwing curses

His brother is wise enough not to do something like that.

Go and insult or defame his kid if you won't rot in prison too.

43Ronin:
The only reason sowore is different is because hes an ijaw man from ondo state. Thats why he states truth amd is neva double-mouthed like his step brothers. Imagine jailing someone without the option of fine. Very wicked human being

The only wicked person is the troll that will eat undone beans in kirikiri.

Bonapart:
he is right on this one

On what basis?

You've all mentioned how he did the same thing to GEJ, yes, i agree... Obviously, GEJ is 5,000 times a better man than Adekunle Gold can ever be in 500 life times.

But, just because GEJ didn't punish him for being an output from a rat's bottom, doesn't give the troll a right, to leave the man, and attack his child.

Una too dey emotional.

Oga I'm not supporting the troll in fact I like the fact that got this punishment there are so many of them on twitter, posting fake news just to get impressions and views just like the Tony Elumelu daughter case.

In fact I'm just seeing this Adekunle old tweet now, well our cyber crime laws have been improved on, those who want to go about posting nonsense should take a look at it first.

Mirasteel:

Stop talking as though it's everyone that can be touched. If it was Otedolas child that posted whatever I am sure you will say he will also be in jail right? Joker.

Stephen0mozzy:
There's a line you should not cross.
1. A man's family
2. A man's child

Which kain justice for trolls activism wey dis one dey do?

Edit:
If you feel the need to quote me, see my response - https://www.nairaland.com/8673326/criticised-gej-openly-sowore-reacts/2#139437524

But Adekunle crossed a woman's family too. Abi GEJ no be person husband?

huptin:
What that guy did was bad horribly bad but sometimes it is just better to forgive especially after admitting his guilt

Forgiveness doesn't mean lack of punishment. I don't know why you guys are confused and lump the two together.

I can forgive your crime but it doesn't mean you wouldn't serve the punishment o

Bonapart:
you're the bigger hypocrite here

People like you are the one are the same with that troll that's why you guys are supporting the troll.
If you like keep defaming People and spreading fake news against people, it will get to your own turn.

Professor in English, he didn't critize Jonathan but defamed him. Oya, explain the difference.

To you he is an irritant but to upright Nigerians he serves as a check and balance to power drunk government officials,big men and celebrities

erad:
Sowore is now an irritant.

Dude has fallen off so bad.

That’s your own opinion, to me forgiveness includes exclusion of punishments.

Yes you are right my friend since the politicians aren’t humans. Just thank your stars that the Nigerian politicians are very lenient toward insults and curses when compared to their counterparts in Africa (francophone countries especially) and Asia. Try that nonsense that Adekunle did with Jonathan in Burkina Faso or Togo.
Away from that, nobody is saying the idiot shouldn’t be jailed but Adekunle doesn’t have that moral right.

erad:
Did AG wish Jonathan's son or daughter death? Jonathan by virtue of being the president is constantly an object of criticism as long as he's on that seat. Same thing with Tinubu and other past Nigerian presidents while they were president.

AG by being a celebrity is also an object of criticism, but his daughter is not!

Bro, celebrity or not, politician or not, you can’t just wake up and start wishing people death and expect them to pat you on the back. The fact that our politicians (presidents esp) seldom react to curses and death wishes doesn’t mean they aren’t punishable. Wishing people death is not criticism. Go to Togo and mention that their president will die all in the name of criticism you hear?

erad:
There's a difference between public person and public servant.

And I never justified what AG said. Both were wrong but one decided not to tolerate it which is within his rights. All these arguments based on emotions just doesn't cut it for me.

I understand where you're going. If I am someone like AG that have said or done such things before and got away with it. I won't take action if done to me.
And on a serious note, this is me telling you about myself. You see all these "your papa" "your mama" "God punish your pikin, mama or papa" You go die or your family go die".
All these doesn't get to me. I will just hiss and give you a hilarious reply like for example. When you say "your papa" I will just tell you, "him dey house or work" shikena, and we move on

So Jonathan is not somebody child, go to the market and buy a big mirror and look yourself and tell the whole world what you see with all sincerity.

eeyah pele o Jonathan should have send him to jail

Exactly. This is the exact reason why people are annoyed. If I was AG, I wouldn’t let the matter slide because I personally would never say such to someone else’s child so I will never tolerate same from anybody. AG punishing the guy over that same thing he’s guilty of just buttressed the point and fact that humans are generally hypocritical in nature as we seldom take even a quarter of the vile things we dish out to others.

Lamasta:
Seems you don't understand the meaning of his first tweet that God should bring back Dagrin and take Jonathan wishing death to then sitting president but cannot accept the death wished to his own family too that's hypocrisy of the highest order.....

I won't defend the idiot that wished Adekunle daughter death cos he's facing the consequences of his foolish actions but I will not tolerate it either if Jonathan did not jail Adekunle he too should not jail another person too, I rest my case

eeyah pele o at least Jonathan too should have send him to jail nah

cr7lomo:
He also wished Goodluck death in 2012 ...and he wasnt arrested

eeyah and Jonathan should have send him to jail nah

Lol... Dude, you can legally wish your president and governor death as long as it's not a threat. That's democracy for you. You can get arrested, but they need to prove your statement was made with malicious intent and you have means to carry out the threat.

Now you mentioned Togo, why not use a working democracy like Spain as an example? Togo is practically an authoritarian regime, so of course you can't criticize the government. It's common sense.

UrVillageChief:
For saying the truth? I’m not always in agreement with this Sowore guy and yes, I will forever be Jonathan’s critic but what this Adekunle’s saga shows is that humans are generally hypocritical in nature. We can hardly stomach even a quarter of what we wish and dish out to others. We all celebrated Jonathan’s “death”. We all wished him all sorts of evil but see what Adekunle is doing to someone who’s guilty of that very same thing he did in 2012🤣🤣

I was not part of those of you who celebrated GEJ's death!

Franklyspeakin:
So he can ask for the death of someone but gets worried when his daughter is asked to die too.

His daughter was not asked to die, the troll already pronounced her dead!

I get your point...

But lemme give you a little perspective. AG is SS, so you know very well having a child didn't come as easy for him as it did for others. Tests, and doubts and expenses to make sure his offspring is not at risk.

Like I said, if dude had said the same thing about AG himself, AG probably wouldn't have bothered because he has also done it to others. But absolutely nothing can justify bringing his daughter into such filthy conversation. He is a father and meant to be a protector. If he does nothing about it, what type of father will you call him?

Are you European? So why then were you expecting me to use the civilized world as my examples? I used Togo because it’s another African country where such are treated as a crime despite not being one or weren’t you in this same Nigeria when one particular First Lady jailed someone for insulting her?
I specifically pointed out that the Nigerian politicians are, to a very large extent, lenient toward insults and curses when compared to their counterparts in Africa and I can remember laying my emphasis on the francophone African countries to be specific. Go to Ivory Coast, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Benin or Togo and try that nonsense all in the name of freedom of speech.
