Senator Shehu Sani has made his thoughts about the ‘hate speech’ bill known to the public, the passage of the widely criticized Hate speech bill was sponsored by Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi of Niger State. According to Sani, should the hate speech law be passed, prisons across the country will be filled with bloggers and critics of the government.

Auto Draft

Shehu Sani also said, in as much as there should be a fight against hate speech, it should not be turned into a fight against free speech. He stated that if this bill is passed, Tyranny and terror will become state policy and the politicians clamouring for the law to be passed should know they will not be in power forever.

He wrote on Facebook;

“Most people in Power are intolerant to criticism and allergic to dissent to be trusted with a capital punishment for Hate speech.The law against Hate speech will be used against free speech.

Many critics and social media enthusiasts will end up in the gallows.Our condemned cells in the prisons will be filled with bloggers, critics and perceived political opponents.

We must fight Hate speech, Hate speech is a real threat to peace, unity and order of a nation but we must protect free speech.

Free speech is the shield of the oppressed.When you have state police and you have capital punishment for Hate speech, you will have tyranny and terror as a state policy.People in power should think twice about what they do with power as someday they will be out of power.

A democratic state must balance its security exigencies with its constitutional obligations and moral duty to uphold the rule of law and respect fundamental rights of its citizens.If you are in public office and you don’t want to be criticized or challenged, please dismount and go back to your family where you can be an imperial emperor.”

This shehu sani is one stupid man who try to be revelant but always on the wrong side. There is a clear difference between free speech and hate speech. And how does one critiizing the government and its policies amount to hate speech? Shehu sani should get a dictionary and look up the meaning of hate before coming to the public to make a fool of himself.

The Purveyor General of Hate Speech is somewhere in Ghana, chasing after pizza delivery van and constituting public nuisance.

My question is: Did GEJ pass a hate speech bill? There retired soldiers and their old way of reasoning. This is democracy and not military regime.

Only a court of law can differentiate between the emboldened but before that happen, especially in a country like Nigeria, lots of innocent people would have suffered behind bars.

Meanwhile, for addressing him as being stupid, you imply Sheu Sani is not as intelligent as you.

While not disputing that with you despite not knowing your IQ; one thing is clear, he intelligently cited a situation where such bill is present with state police in place, there would be no better way of enthroning a governor to become an imperial emperor.

So with the Federal Police currently in place, that bill will enthrone the President instead - suffocating every form of free speech.

Millions will be killed and tens of millions more rendered homeless refugees if this hate speech bill is not passed with some form of modification. A simple case study of the 1994 Rawandan genocide will suffice as an eye opener to the consequences of letting hate speech go unchecked. The major reason why Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB had to be eliminated so soon was not because of their ineffectual street demonstrations nor their vociferous clamor for Biafra, but because of the grave danger their hate speech poised to the peace and security of the country.


PASS THAT BILL
Are you part of them? be careful before "amadioha" strikes you.

He knows the difference between the two. He is only saying that the government of the day who do not want to be criticized will term every critic a hate speecher and persecute such under the guise of fighting hate speech. Those who insult and denigrate the opposition will be left untouched the same way they are 'fighting corruption' at the moment.

When my elders are not doing the right thing, I should be able to tell them that their actions are wrong, at least respectfully, in peaceful dialogue.

But if they are stubborn, recalcitrant, hardened and unwilling to change for good, then I believe that exposing them, chiding them and telling them off, if need be, may be effective.

If they still don't heed, may God help them.

Senility does not bequeath wisdom upon men. It just shows you're frequently knocking on heavens door.
Finally someone here who agrees that old age doesn't necessarily equate to wisdom.

We know them.
They made all kinds of threat, including forming a parallel government, soaking people in blood, asking Muslims not to vote for non Muslims, defending boko haram etc..

But the moment they got to power, they started chasing social media bill, hate speech bill etc.

They rode to power on the back of a monster, which is now set to devour them all.
Well said, bravo to u

Anyone who abuses free speech in order to spread hate deserves jail and if proven that such speech had further incited to cause any death then such person should similarly be sentenced to death - period.

Nigerians are currently at loggerheads insulting and abusing each other in the cyberspace; while the youths are being primed with hate, their reasoning and perspectives already distorted via sponsored fake news and propaganda by local champions and irresponsible leaders in the name of politics or religion; its no wonder that maiming and killing at the slightest provocation is now the order of the day in this country.

Hate speeches are fanning the many burning fires feeding majority of the ongoing unrest in our country - and it just has to stop; I therefore fully support the law and its rigorous implementation.

Who so ever is behind this bill is an empty headed leader.

In an unsecured nation where citizens are not allowed to carry weapons the primary weapon they have is in their voice. the bible says even the tongue as small as it is, is the most powerful weapon there is. Yet a government that barely knows its left from the right about anything especially Governance is trying to tame man.

I will kill anybody I like with my pen and my tongue, it is my God given right.
