So under the social media bill, will people like Hell-Rufai be prosecuted and sentenced to death for hate speech, you are asking Nigerians to be patient on a bill designed to suppress social media and citizen engagement. A bill designed to shut down anyone against the government of the day, by far it purports the body language and what the gov of the day would like to do to any Nigerian, a bill designed to accuse any Nigerian, a bill designed to sentence Nigerians to death and you telling us to be patient on a bill that should never have made it to the floor.

I am so calm about that bill without any iota of fear because, such a bill will never make it to the end of the tunnel.

And for death sentence, that is clearly a joke.

Weighty crimes that ought to carry such sentence are looting, embezzlement, kidnapping, terrorism, bribery, false or unfulfilled manifestors, are left off the hook; and you think what we do say here and there will carry such sentence... Is clearly a lie.

By their referral i know this senate would be worst than the former.


The devil cannot refer you and you do the job of an angel. Very impossible as buhari staying in Nigeria for good 3 months without developing wings for foreign countries.

hmmmmmmm poor Nigerians! what can we do? than to wail behind our keyboard, shout we no go gree on social media. even,if government choose to start slaughtering us one after the other, what can we do? we citizens are powerless, government have gun and thugs that doesn't know that if we are protesting for bad governance or bad government policy we are fighting for their unborn children instead of them to apply senses they will start chasing us with gun like armed robbers because we are fighting and protesting for a better country is there anything we can do? even, if that law is passed than our usual internet rant i have come into conclusion that the Nigeria we are all dream of is a mere mirage because it keep getting worse day by day if we protest they will kill us if we try to chase them with the only power given to us by democracy they will still rig their way in the best thing for any serious person is to leave this country for aboki that doesn't question their oppressor

The Nigerian Social Media is the last and only standing lifeline not just for democracy but for our right to life. If we lose it, we will have lost everything.

The two atrocious bills (1) Social Media bill and (2) Hate speech bill sponsored by two separate Senators both from Niger state must not be allowed to become law.

If the HATE SPEECH Bill which prescribes DEATH BY HANGING for hate speech makes it through second reading in the rubber stamp Senate, WE ARE DOOMED! Remember, HATE SPEECH IS WHAT THE GOVT SAYS IT IS. For example, if Fulani herdsmen invade a village killing men, women and children with govt sponsored impunity, and you, a victim of the attack comes on social media to blame the herdsmen, the govt controlled by the same people could accuse you of Hate Speech and seeing as our Judiciary is now 'achikota ekwee onu' (a joke), they will effortlessly convict you and the punishment is hanging, according to the bill.

In the process of passing a bill into law, first reading is more like the introduction of the bill which almost always doesn't require debate on the content of the bill. The real work begins at the second reading when every Senator is expected to have been gifted with a copy of the bill which they must have read before debating it. And seeing as we use the primitive and archaic "yes" and "nays" here as against electronic voting, it is very easy for a pliant Senate President to say something like "the nays have it" even if the "yes" shouted the loudest. It is also so easy for one idiot with the voice of comedian "Broda Shaggi" to raise his voice loud enough to confuse a sincere Senate President into making the wrong conclusion. It becomes worse when you realize that Ahmed Lawan, the current Senate President has never hidden his desire to keep his head and that of the entire Senate as an institution eternally buried in the poo-poo hole of the daura ex soldier who lives in the Rock.

The Senate minority leader, distinguished Senator Enyinnaya Harcourt Abaribe, will use everything in his power to TRY to get his colleagues to oppose that atrocious bill just like he promised today on Channels TV show. But the Realist in me knows HE MAY LIKELY FAIL for obvious reasons: Most of the Senators he will be relying on to oppose the bill are former governors, deputy governors, ministers etc. And reasonable number of them are into govt contracts. Which means, they have one dirty file or the other hanging around their necks. Knowing how this govt uses state agencies to achieve unholy selfish aim, we know how the EFCC will be used to force their hands. And for the very few clean ones amongst them (if they exist), all it takes is a heavy dose of monetary inducement. This is basically how the Executive right from the Obasanjo time controls the legislature. With someone like Ahmed Lawan, Buhari may not even need to go to the above length. So you see why I said Abaribe may most likely fail? This is where we must appreciate Saraki/Ekweremadu leadership in the last Senate.

The only people that can stop these political Bandits is the Nigerian people through constant social media shouting, Facebook and twitter trends which will involve tagging major international media houses and embassies plus credible foreign organizations. And peaceful street protests which, of course, the repressive security forces will clamp down on but it will create the necessary attention. I would have suggested releasing the phone numbers of all Nigerian Senators for a protest calls and text messages but considering our ethnic cleavages, I don't know how that will play out.

Lastly, this is not the time to mock Sowore or anyone being detained by this lawless govt or those protesting for their release even if they were ex-Buharists. If we must survive this, we must rise above such mawkish emotional sentimentality and see this evil for the whirlwind it really is. Ask yourself, if they could treat their former allies this way, what will they do to you who has been their enemy from Adam? As they ask in the street, death wey kpai Alhaji, wetin im go do to Almajiri?

In life, unforeseen circumstances play a big role in the affairs of man. No matter how perfect these evil men think their plans are, Natoural forces can still scuttle it all. So somehow, I hope and pray that unforeseen circumstances will work in our favor here but before then, we must do what we can on our own.

If the press is not free and voices are suppressed in disguise of one sided Hate Speech Bill where political opponents are being silenced, then Nigeria was never in democracy . Anyway as Late Fela used to sing, demonstration of craziness is the order of the day
Re: Hate Speech Bill: Senate Urges Nigerians To Be Patient by Nobody: 12:16am On Nov 14, 2019
Prohibition of any speech is prohibition of all speech; the freedom of speech was never enacted to protect 'love speech', but speech that is rightly considered 'hate speech', any other interpretation is mute.

This Bill is either a big waste of time or a legislation targeted towards a larger socio-cultural engineering agenda; I daresay the latter is the case.

Untill all of you living in Nigeria start acting like you deserve to be treated like human beings in your own country I won't sympathize with you all. In fact you'll deserve to be locked up in cages by your politicians.

Your politicians steal your wealth, fail to obey the law and now trying to kill you if you criticize them for stealing. And all all you lads do is act a coward and make noise online. If it was street pick pockets you would have hanged tire on their knecks and burn them alive, but not with the real thiefs stealing your future and human right. Bunch of lazy Nigerians.
