The poet was being honest na. Is their no freedom of speech again?

Freedom of speech? Why did he run into hiding? He only came out because his wife was detained. He should tell the trial judge how libelous and slanderous audio recording against someone is part of his freedom of speech

Ishaquine:
Stop spitting shit. If someone is a thief, you prove it before calling him one, okay.

And I know you will kick the fact aside and keep spitting rubbish.. But am not bother because that's makes you Yoruba. And an elderly man lying on any slight opportunity is normal among your people..

The poet has a very bad mouth.

I don't care about Lai Mohammad or his lies. A kidnapper caught by the police still undergoes trial.

yeye authoritarians

This is most irresponsible conduct! The fellow deserves to be prosecuted. He will do well to justify his lines!

The truth is certainly bitter ohhhhh...

well we are in a Country where the truth will always lead to savage

That wasn't freedom of speech, that was abuse of freedom of speech. I hope you know what libel and slander means.

This is civil case and not a criminal case and should be handled by the courts. This is an abuse of power getting the police to arrest a private citizen and not charging him to court within 24 hours, as well as detaining his wife and family members. We have shown once again to the world, this country is nothing but a Banana Republic.

Goodluck Jonathan never arrested any member of the opposition, despite all the insults thrown his way.

You got a problem with me being a Yoruba or a muslim??

God bless GoodLuck Ebele Jonathan

God bless u too my brother...
Leave these evil govt,their evil days shall be over soon.

Quite surprising how a govt dat rode to power on the altar of lies and name calling can't take a dose of the medicine they own the factory

Atimes I wonder if we are truly in Democracy.

Racoon:
Lai Mohammed that was always shouting abuse of human rights back then but today he is in league with the govt of reincarnated Decree-2 and 4 of 1984.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Frontpage Lalasticlala,Mynd44...we are back to the dark days of the military regime of IBB and Abacha where citizens were detained without court orders and had their wives and family members arrested and detained as well.

This is not the democracy Nigerians fought for.

You can only respect the rights of others only when you know what your rights are. That audio will lead him to prison. He should go and plead his case with the judge

How can he be cursing and speak ill of someone in power like this? Mind you, I'm not in support of Mr Lai but i doubt if anyone can tolerate these insults.

The law that gave you freedom of speech is the same power that gives me the right to defend myself. Whether Lai Mohammed is going about this the proper way is another debate entirely.

Even if you are saying the truth must you now call someone bastard, lunatic and all sorts of unprintable names?

The guy even said Hajia Umar Saadiyat is Buhari's mistress. Can he substantiate that? What if that woman sued him and he is sent to jail? People will say there is no freedom of speech. Saying the truth is good but we should avoid all these "decorations" to make it look "sweet".

That poem no be small thing o. The guy see baba finish.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Is that why is wife was detained?This is civil case and not a criminal case and should be handled by the courts. This is an abuse of power getting the police to arrest a private citizen and not charging him to court withing 24 hours.

Goodluck Jonathan never arrested any member of the opposition, despite all the insults thrown his way.

Defamation of charater is a criminal offence in Nigeria.

That was deragotary.

Settled in court brah- where in the constitution did it say you can detain a suspect and his family members and bug their phones for defamation?

This was an abuse of power period!Only a court can order a suspect to be detained beyond 24 hours.

Then he should get a lawyer

What

To me this is not criticism its an insult and abuse. He even mentioned his father haba. I doubt if there is anyone abused like this will just keep silence without doing anything especially if that person has any power to react.

Ishaquine:
Here

As nouns the difference between insult and defamation is that insult is an action or form of speech deliberately intended to be rude while defamation is act of injuring another's reputation by any slanderous communication, written or oral; the wrong of maliciously injuring the good name of another; slander; detraction; calumny; aspersion.

You said insult, and i asked where in the constitution is that a crime, not defamation.

I listened to the track, the guy has serious questions to answer with most of his allegations, this is defamation not even an insult, thats a crime.

Ishaquine:

Did the constitution provide for a wife and family members to be detained for a defamation suspect?Stop supporting evil and tyranny.

tillaman:
That woman Sadiya Farouk sounds slow to me, she shouldn’t hold any office!! She’s slow

Exactly, her brain is slow and arrogant for that matter to....she act like she don't care about other part of Nigeria except the north.

Adesina18111:
Truth be told...even if freedom of speech is given...it shouldn't be misused...the akewi too pass his boundary abeg

Sure he went overboard but APC and people like Lau Mohammed should know that Nigerians are not fooled by their charade of a governance...

There will certainly be a day of reckoning....

You again?

Since have been seeing minister of information in Nigeria, have never seen a man in that position that lie as much as Lie Mohammed, I don't think he has family that can call him into order. Though, I guess that is his area of calling or talent saa. He ought to be given an award of best lie minister in the history of Nigeria.

RuudVanNisteroy:

I'm not supporting anything, wetin be my own. So he should wait till he rots there abi. You've been in custody for more than 24 hrs, so what next? Get your lawyer and charge Lai Muhammad to court or doesn't he have any.

So this lai Mohammed can go to this extremes, he has forgotten so soon what he did to Jonathan and the man didn't do anything to him.
Do to others what you'll want them to do to you..
Karma is a bitch

Hehehehehe....

I have been laughing since

I just love Yoruba poetry joor. Very expressive
