Mandeyy: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 progresses to the serious stages before it will be thrown to the dustbin where it belongs. 2 Likes |

maestroferddi: 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. 1 Like |

Beautyaddy: 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. 1 Like 1 Share |

maestroferddi: 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. 1 Like 1 Share |

When they are all criminals who don’t want to be held accountable bt what they don’t know is they can never stop free speech. People must talk and can talk be it social media or any platform. A social media bill can not go against the constitution and right of free speech by citizens. |

Oshigun: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... 4 Likes |

You can oppress the people but you can't oppress their resolve to be heard. This bunch of myopic Senators act before they think. They forgot they will leave the Senate chamber and live like every other humans. Their children, grand-children great grand children too will be caught in the web of the proposed bill. What goes around, comes around. |

GoodGovernance: Yes. Society needs Policing otherwise chaos would reign. Even boxing matches need a referee otherwise boxers would kill each other!!! Why are people then afraid of the inevitable regulation of social media in an age where fake news has become a real menace ruining lives, destroying democratic and electoral will of the people, shredding carefully built reputation in minutes etc, etc. I just don't understand why people cannot see that this next stage of our use of social media is inevitable. There is nothing the public will use, that can thus constitute potential danger to them, which will not be regulated in the end. It is a question of time and extent of harm done before laws come in to clean up the slackness lawless folks were exploiting to harm others. 2 Likes 1 Share |

[s] GoodGovernance:[/s] Nigeria is probably the only country in the world with such useless, anti-people bill. While other countries are going about tackling the social media giants, from Facebook to whatsapp against the menace of fake news, Nigeria would rather shut her citizens up. You only see such from a zoo, a "country" ruled by animals. Nonsense. 5 Likes |

maestroferddi: 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_rankings_of_Singapore

Oshigun: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.

Northerners are indeed goats on NL. Every time this presidency does, whether right or wrong they try to find ways to support without even knowing anything! In one of my MSC modules in US, there was a quote I still remember. “Impossible to control the Internet” Even USA can’t control that space but a third world country, out of every thing it’s suffering from decides to focus on Social media Wonderful! A country without light! As am typing, there is no light self 2 Likes |

maestroferddi: Bruv, this is pathetic. clutching at straws now I see. Use the link below and see the stages other Nations are at in regards to dealing with fake news using a map of the world. Burkina Faso and Kenya already have laws in place to deal with fake news. You need to stop pushing the despot angle cuz. Laws to deal with misinformation on social media are inevitable. https://www.poynter.org/ifcn/anti-misinformation-actions/ |
