At What Stage Is A Statement A Hate Speech? by Otobroto(op): 5:14pm On Aug 17, 2017
At what stage is a statement a hate speech?

Is it when a President says his government will only favour the part of a country that gave him 95% vote?

Is it when a traditional ruler says that if a particular group of people do not vote for his candidate they should be thrown into the Lagoon?

When a president is asked to resume work or resign after 100 days?

or when in particular? Please Nigerians I want to be educated.

Very verbosed, ambiguous word to define and conceptualize objectively.
The FG has always been a joker

When Fulani invades Benue Community killing and maiming, our people, its a farmers / herdsmen clash.

but when Terkimbi says Fulani must leave our lands, that's hate speech.

now, if Terkimbi says we shall retaliate further attacks on our people, that's terrorism.

and if Terkimbi were to say the middle belt want to be on her, own. that Nigeria is a failed state, that's treason.

OP,
hope you now understand?

When Ango Abdullahi spews his rubbish you won't see the manlet but when we talk they want to use political correctness to censor us now they are threatening to charge us for treason for speaking up and saying the truth.

Osinbanjo has already cemented his name on the rubbish dump site of history as a cowardly fool.

OP you are on point. I am observing keenly to see the content of the hate speech bill. Although I am in support of this bill as it will help us to guide our utterances but interpretation of the bill when it becomes law and prosecution of defaulters will be more interesting.

That's just the point, but at what stage is it a hate speech? I have listened to many rubbish on campagn podium. Will such be regarded as hate speech?

Is the word FVCK YOU a hate speech?

Just asking.

Osinbanjo is a fake azz pastor parading as a SAN.
Did I just commit hate speech?

Exactly the first thought I had when I was about typing my first comment. During campaign period, the initiator of the bill and those who voted to support the bill will know certainly they have shot themselves.... However, at this point in time, something urgent need to be done to curtail excessive malicious vituperations from Nigerians. It has really gotten out of hand.

Such a bill is dead on arrival because it is an attempt by the ruling party to silent the opposition due to the fact that election is drawing near and PDP will not agree to it.

Igbos should be drowned in lagos lagoon

I'm only after 95% and I don't worry much over 5%.

Igbo ask for secession but hausa fulani boko harem asked them to leave.

And the zoo president believe he is making sense.

Eh there is hell on earth.

Meanwhile the boko harem herdsman and zoo soldiers have killed a lot of people and every body is keeping quite. Some afonjas even like the killings

In Nigeria, everything is possible. I feel this law is to gag opposition.
