We, of course, did not support the death penalty… “I am also happy to see…that that portion was taken out of the legislation that was being put forward. The Secretary-General had also put in place a special ending on hate speech.” The UN’s deputy secretary-general also said that at both the international and regional levels, hate speech is not only frowned at but also checked by various legislative means.

Overall, the UN is in support of the hate bill but only against the punishment previously suggested i.e death.

The death penalty is simply a joke...

Gradually the bill is being passed and we are mute.. how can a people be this docile.

Nairaland is the most visited site in Nigeria because of it being largely anonymous, that is to tell you how cowardly we are as a people.

If the Government is being called out on Nepotism, would that classify as hate speech against a set of people?...

When you speak for your people and the ills in the society perpetrated by leaders as sowore has done, would that fall in the line of aggravation and breach of peace under hate speech?

Ok... Next!

What is really hate speech to the Nigerian police force, politicians, Government etc..

Your definition of hate speech differs from what may be assumed as hate speech.

This hate speech was one of the tactics adopted by Apc back then in 2015 to break pdp down. Now they've used it and want to rule against it. It's well.


Nigeria leaders are not just worthy of emulations I swear

Awon were.,...hate speech ko.like speech ni
