Mandeyy:
Even the corrupt Chimaroke Nnamani spoke against it. That means he's better than those fat bellies there. Abaribe could not speak out against it again. This country's politicians love themselves, while we (the ordinary poor citizens) die defending those of them that are our kinsmen. But they're united in pauperizing us. They're from the same ethnic group called "CORRUPT ETHNIC GROUP". When are we going to unite and fight them?

maestroferddi:
You are embarrassing yourself....

Trump and indeed previous US presidents face avalanches of invective and grievious insults frequently and yet every developed society does not trifle with freedom of speech.

We are talking of societies where the judicial system is advanced and court pronouncements are sancrosant.

Just imagine the introduction of this draconian/tyrannical law to Nigeria where the judicial system is a rubber stamp...where right and wrong is subjective to the whims and caprices of people in authority.

Most of you APC supporters really do not have conscience.

Beautyaddy:


Thank you!

Are you minding that fool?

Oshigun:


Shut up you mindless bigot. Hatred of anything to do with APC and PMB has blinded your eyes and destroyed your senses. Same/similar laws are been enacted fast worldwide in recognition of the menace an unsupervised social media is causing with the obvious conclusion worse is to come if action is not taken.

Look , there is nada you can do. Shout from today till the new year if you want. The bill will be passed into law. If you are not a perverse purveyor of fake news like Reno, Kanu, FFK, Fayose et al then you have nothing to worry about. If you a a callous blogger making a living selling lies then they should fine you heavily or jail you. Whichever suits the damage you do when you lie deliberately just to profit from the misery of others.

Beautyaddy:
Very Good.

This is exactly what Nigerians wanted the minute they re-elected Brutalhari(Buhari).

NO MORE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN NIGERIA!

NO MORE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IN NIGERIA!

NIGERIA IS NOW CHINA AND RUSSIA COMBINED.

maestroferddi:
Abaribe vehemently rubbished the bill in an appearance on Channels TV recently.

I am not sure he attended this particular session.

From what he said in the interview, they are waiting till the bill progress to the serious stages before it will be thrown to the dustbin where it belongs.

Blue3k:
If you're against the social media bill call or email your representatives to vote against it. Lol threaten to recall them if need be.

Call? This only works in developed countries like the U.S.

Abaribe and whose army? You are deluded. I think you don't understand how the senate works today. Perhaps you still think it is under the control of Saraki. If I recall correctly, you are one of those emotional jokers who always gets it wrong 100% of the time and I will resurrect this thread when your superman and areafada Abaribe is able to do nada to prevent the passage of this bill into law.

GoodGovernance:



Crap.


How does a law to prevent Fake news an impediment to freedom of the press or freedom of speech.

So the press should be free to write fake news ?

The earlier you realise that freedom of speech does not include freedom of fake speech,the better for you.

Playing to the popular gallery, does not connote correctness.

Little minds like you are oblivious of the fact that power is transient.

Africa has had despots and tyrants who went about enjoying the allure of power that they forgot that time is an undefeated champion.
In their heydays they had iconoclastic elements like cheering them on from the sidelines.

If only men can think...

Whining on social media doesn't stop anything so what's your alternative?

Oshigun:


Guy, are you following at all? What is the irrelevant rant above about when you have been shown that this is a worldwide development not been seen in Nigeria alone? Yet you want to talk as if this is all Buhari start to finish rather than something Nigeria simply copied from others who have seen the dangers of social media and the need to regulate it.

So Singapore and other who have already sworn social media laws into formal use are all led by 'power drunk' tyrant ba? Look below at some of the very impressive stats of SIngapore we are all aware of. Yet they have passed into law what is still a bill in Nigeria. You people should work with facts and stop your childish and ignorant scaremongering borne of nothing but hatred for Buhari and the APC.

maestroferddi:
Those who allege that you are a wretched hack condemned to spend a lifetime mouthing and defending inanities might not be wrong after all...

You will always toe the party line of your employers: project a little sample size and wham! leap into an incongrous generalization.

So the developed nation Nigeria should emulate in terms of civil freedom is Singapore, where the capital punishment applies to crimes which penalty might not attract more than five years for the offender in a free society.

Guy, break the chains now!
