gone are the days of freedom of speech.
please what is hateful in that passage quoted? what will happen to learned idiots that openly suggested we accept NEPA bill as a substitute for certificate?

Even premier league players are punished whenever they make hate speech on social networks

He who wears the shoes knows where it itches. The lecturer a northern native, living in the north knows what is happening.
Look at the content it makes sense and it is the truth but the reason of posting it is what I don't know. If he is just expressing himself then I don't think he is wrong.
But If the lecturer was a Muslim and wrote same thing against the minority in the north and PDP would he have been purnished?

Not at all. A people so biased in everything.
May God help us from these tribal and religious bigots, who don't believe in freedom of expression

Good. Next time he will learn how to be civil Arne kawai.

SamJed:
Why should someone be suspended because of what he posted....what happened to freedom of speech

What happened to freedom of speech is the samething that happened to freedom of speech/association in Bayelsa where 500 pro APC government workers were sanction for saying what they think is the truth.Take heart bro.

Sparrow13:
Danfulani should just stick to his lecturing and forget politics, that's the same way Shehu Sani loss his most of his credibility by joining politics

The reason you giving is why we have psychopaths, thieves and greedy politicians as leaders.

Anytime good people stay out, bad people reign supreme.

Dr Danfulani is an activist... Was my lecturer in KASU political science department.... So he is living in what He taught us.... And not like electrical engineers that can't wire a house yet dey r lecturers... Or polytechnic mechanical engineering lecturers that can't fix Dere cars... Lubbish!

SamJed:
Why should someone be suspended because of what he posted....what happened to freedom of speech

So u dt kn dis is not a democratic bt dictatorship regime

Oh my, I didn't know this guy is a lecturer o. He is my facebook friend. I had an engagement with him few weeks back over similar hate speech. I think I ended up blocking him.

SamJed:
Why should someone be suspended because of what he posted....what happened to freedom of speech

that's freedom after speech for u

SamJed:

Godswillnwaoma:
But what he said is true naaaa. Truth is bitter they said.

Exactly my dear.

Danfulani! is this a nickname? If not I cannot comprehend a Fulani make such a comment.

Despite am 1 of d supporters of ds government, it is very wrong for ds lecturer to av bn suspended cos we av wot we call freedom of speech and association.

Some of the noise makers here believe that barbaric pays all the time.
Some one working and earned him meal in public sector, should the same person found undermining the peace of the state?
As a lecturer who impact positive learning to the students should always does that wisely and accordingly. He is lucky enough to have suspended in first instance I will prefer prosecution to anyone found guilty of this kind of crime.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION is now a crime since Buhari became president of our dear nation.


The poverty and the illiteracy in the NORTHERN region is alarming but you dare not talk about it, else the very people you're trying to give a voice will make you an enemy.

Northern youths are worshipping the very elders who impoverished them.

I was born and brought up in the north. I did all my schooling from creche to university in the north, but truth b told, northerns hate the truth. Most especially if u dare speak against islam or north, they can make life unbearable n uncomfortable for you. I hav so many of my lecturers as facebook friends. If u see the hate post these hausa lecturers post against Christians n other tribes, yet nothing is done to them. I can bet my life with u, If this guy is a muslim, and he made a hate post against xianity n south, nobody would say anytin or raise eyebrow, but because he is a xtian that was y they did that to him..

Thank you.

The major problem of this country is LACK OF TRUTH TELLING AND ACCEPTING

That is why we have other monstrous problems like corruption, tribalism and religious bigotry.

What the lecturer said was the truth and nothing but the truth but as usual we don't like the truth or willing to accept it.

The University response was for him to proof himself not guilty as they have already found him guilty before any hearing.

Why are you treading the accursed way, quoting Biblical passage to support your FRAUDULENT intention? Which PROMO?
Quit this path now before, repent and purge yourself of this deceptive tendencies because you will always pay, not ONLY you even YOUR generation.

The Kaduna State University has suspended one of its
senior lecturers for posting a Facebook comment deemed
as hate speech.
In December, John Danfulani stirred controversy by
lashing at supporters of the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, northern leaders, and President
Muhammadu Buhari. He also mocked the large number of
out-of-school children in the north.
Part of his Facebook post post said, “To them, APC is a
religious party. Northern leaders under the party are
demigods and crusaders of their ways of life. These people
living in dusty villages of Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Kano,
Jigawa are quick in calling you ‘Arne or Kafiri’ (Meaning
Pagan) once you express your view on anything their God
PMB and his brigade of small Angels are doing. Attack the
attacker, and lets the skies fall”.

When we de-mystify the gworo chewing dullard and show him for what he is- a cheat, illiterate power-hungry tyrant, they start to threaten you (no wonder the famous protection seeker). I have been hounded on and offline for exposing the cheat that is buhari for example the #320B naira unaccounted difference in the budget(being difference between buhari's total of 6.3Tnaira and actual total of aggregates.
Is it not also funny, that his support base are the least literate? Least developed? Same peopl GEJ built 200 world class sch blocks for( even when it is not under the purview of the FG but rather the State). The rice-tivists that daily defend and praise this tyrant/demigod should know that this monster will one day devour them. Oya rice-tivists over to you wailees.

Full Text of Goodluck Jonathan’s Speech in Geneva #GEJInGeneva.

Nigeria’s former President, Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday addressed the global community in Geneva, Switzerland at a press conference hosted by the Geneva Press Club. Below is the full text of the speech focused on Security, Education and Development in Africa exclusively obtained by SIGNAL.

Protocols

Ladies and Gentlemen of the press, I thank you for coming to hear me speak on the twin issues of education and security.

Though this event is billed as a press conference on a Better Security and Education for West Africa, for the sake of time, I will focus on my experience in government which gave me a practical demonstration of how education impacts on security.

I will thereafter touch on my post presidential focus which is on advancing democracy and good governance in Africa and increasing access to opportunity for wealth generation in Africa.

If you peruse the official UNESCO literacy rates by country, what you will find is that all of the top ten most literate nations in the world are at peace, while almost all of the top 10 least literate nations in the world are in a state of either outright war or general insecurity.

Lower education levels are linked to poverty and poverty is one of the chief causative factors of crime whether it is terrorism or militancy or felonies.

With this at the back of my mind, I began the practice of giving education the highest sectoral allocation beginning with my very first budget as President in 2011.

My policy was to fight insecurity in the immediate term using counter insurgency strategies and the military and for the long term I fought it using education as a tool.

As I have always believed, if we do not spend billions educating our youths today, we will spend it fighting insecurity tomorrow. And you do not have to spend on education just because of insecurity. It is also the prudent thing to do.

Nigeria, or any African nation for that matter, can never become wealthy by selling more minerals or raw materials such as oil. Our wealth as a nation is between the ears of our people.

It is no coincidence that the Northeast epicenter of terrorism in Nigeria is also the region with the highest rate of illiteracy and the least developed part of Nigeria.

In Nigeria, the Federal Government actually does not have a responsibility for primary and secondary education, but I could not in good conscience stomach a situation where 52.4% of males in the Northeastern region of Nigeria have no formal Western education.

The figure is even worse when you take into account the states most affected by the insurgency.

83.3% of male population in Yobe state have no formal Western education. In Borno state it is 63.6%.

Bearing this in mind is it a coincidence that the Boko Haram insurgency is strongest in these two states?

So even though we did not have a responsibility for primary and secondary education going by the way the Nigerian federation works, I felt that where I had ability, I also had responsibility even if the constitution said it was not my responsibility.

Knowing that terrorism thrives under such conditions my immediate goal was to increase the penetration of Western education in the region while at the same time making sure that the people of the region did not see it as a threat to their age old practices of itinerant Islamic education known as Almajiri.

For the first time in Nigeria’s history, the Federal Government which I led, set out to build 400 Almajiri schools with specialized curricula that combined Western and Islamic education. 160 of them had been completed before I left office.

I am also glad to state that when I emerged as President of Nigeria on May 6th 2010, there were nine states in the Northern part of the country that did not have universities. By the time I left office on the 29th of May 2015, there was no Nigerian state without at least one Federal University.

Now the dearth of access to formal education over years created the ideal breeding ground for terror to thrive in parts of Nigeria but there are obviously other dimensions to the issue of insecurity in Nigeria and particularly terrorism.

You may recall that the fall of the Gaddafi regime in August 2011 led to a situation where sophisticated weapons fell into the hands of a number of non state actors with attendant increase in terrorism and instability in North and West Africa.

The administration I headed initiated partnership across West Africa to contain such instability in nations such as Mali, which I personally visited in furtherance of peace.

And with those countries contiguous to Nigeria, especially nations around the Lake Chad Basin, we formed a coalition for the purpose of having a common front against terrorists through the revived Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF).

Those efforts continue till today and have in large part helped decimate the capacity of Boko Haram.

Another aspect of the anti terror war we waged in Nigeria that has not received enough attention is our effort to improve on our intelligence gathering capacity.

Prior to my administration, Nigeria’s intelligence architecture was designed largely around regime protection, but through much sustained effort we were able to build capacity such that our intelligence agencies were able to trace and apprehend the masterminds behind such notorious terror incidences as the Christmas Day bombing of the St. Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla, Niger State.

Other suspects were also traced and arrested including those behind the Nyanya and Kuje bombings.

Not only did we apprehend suspects, but we tried and convicted some of them including the ring leader of the Madalla bombing cell, Kabir Sokoto, who is right now serving a prison sentence.

But leadership is about the future. I am sure you have not come here to hear me talk about the way backward. You, like everyone else, want to hear about the way forward.

I am no longer in office, and I no longer have executive powers on a national level. However, I am more convinced now than ever about the nexus between education and security.

My foundation, The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation, was formed to further democracy, good governance and wealth generation in Africa.

Of course, Charity begins at home and for the future, what Nigeria needs is to focus on making education a priority.

Thankfully, the administration that succeeded mine in its first budget, appears to have seen wisdom in continuing the practice of giving education the highest sectoral allocation. This is commendable.

I feel that what people in my position, statesmen and former leaders, ought to be doing is to help build consensus all over Africa, to ensure that certain issues should not be politicized.

Education is one of those issues. If former African leaders can form themselves into an advisory group to gently impress on incumbent leaders the necessity of meeting the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recommended allocation of 26% of a nations annual budget on education, I am certain that Africa will make geometric progress in meeting her Millennium Development Goals and improving on every index of the Human Development Index.

Data has shown that as spending on education increases, health and well being increases and incidences of maternal and infant mortality reduce.

In Nigeria for instance, Average Life Expectancy had plateaued in the mid 40s for decades, but after 2011, when we began giving education the highest sectoral allocation, according to the United Nations, Nigeria enjoyed her highest increase in Average Life Expectancy since records were kept. We moved from an Average Life Expectancy of 47 years before 2011 to 54 years by 2015.

I had earlier told you about the connection between education and insecurity.

I believe that it is the job of former leaders and elder statesmen to convince Executive and Legislative branches across Africa to work together to achieve the UNESCO recommended percentage as a barest minimum.

I intend to offer my services, through The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation, for this purpose and I invite interested organizations to help us make this happen.

Ladies and gentlemen of the press, this, in a nutshell are some of my thoughts for a Better Security and Education for Africa and I will now entertain your questions. -

Dis is Y I do not c any thing wrong wen some pple call Nigeria a Zoo. its life of d jungle all d way,wen d higher animals oppress d lower animals. A certain ethnic group u can't speak against,but they can dat whatever and go free. Dual ideology over issues. There was really a country call 9geria. too bad. well better he is suspended Dan killed, cos dey could and no one will say any ting bout it.

Facebook and its ills. Come to more mature sites like Nairaland. Leave facebook for 'children'

There's freedom of speech, but freedom after speech-I cannot guarantee-Idi Amin

He should have maintained a decorum as a professional.

insycarc:
hate speech because it is the truth. I am sure the order was from one of Bubu's servant who happens to be the Governor of the state. The Day a southener can speak freely in the north without any issue or death threat is the beginning of a better nigeria

Mumu talking talking trash, is he from the south.

Why did he delete the page...
Why did he fled the country
Mind you, this is a period wen the issue of insurgency is biting hard on the regional peace of the entire area...u are der making monkey comment

You deserve a presidential award for saying the truth...The north hates Christian and southerners and they will do everything to try to hide the truth....We southerners (SS, SW, SEand even Middle belt) have to wake up to this reality and say no to these evil people.

Am not surprised this thread has only 2 pages only.

Now lets Imagine this incident happened under GEJ.

Your guess is as good as mine

This act should be condemned by all Lovers of democracy. All civil societies must speak out against this.

criminalmindz:
he deserves an international award, thumbs up man. They way illeterates and the poor in the north worship their leaders like gods is terrible. Dey dont mind eating cow dung if there leaders ask them to do it. The poor in the north need to be enlightened , theyve been brain washed by bad leaders like ibb, atiku,ciroma,abacha who have not done enough in developing the region rather theyve amassed wealth for only their selves and immediate family. Big and many thanks to gej for the great developments he brought that region.

Was it also 'freedom of speech' when the Oba of Lagos was threatening to push Igbos into the lagoon if they voted against his candidate?

You people condemned that, yet you're here praising similar hate speech because it aligns with your skewed politics

Now lets Imagine this incident happened under GEJ.

Your guess is as good as mine

Under GEJ soldiers confiscated and destroyed newspapers and magazines. In fact, that action cost the Nigerian taxpayer hundreds of millions of naira.

Under GEJ, the FG procured spy software used by rpressive governments to spy on phones of opposition members

Under GEJ, soldiers put El Rufai under house arrest when he came to monitor elections

Under GEJ, Amaechi et al were prevented from traveling to Ekiti State to witness the elections


Yet none of you hypocrites complained then!

They suspended him for absolutely no cogent reason. What is hateful about what he wrote? The northern masses are a brainwashed lot and they will continue to lick the buttts of the ruling class amongst them. That's their destiny, that's the choice they've made.

Whoever conceived the idea of amalgamating the northern and southern Nigeria should burn in the hottest part of hell. I have never seen a group of people as backward as these northerners.

He has done nothing wrong by exposing a hidden truth.

Hazardhandsome:
D truth hurts like a pinched ass. D powerful keeps intimidating d powerless.
which way naija?
Our life's are consistently endangered.
must we run?

But if someone lies against you or say untruthful things about you it ain't gonna hurt nu? Who says being hurt is the only yardstick for measuring truth? Nu?
