Spoken like a true sellout.

He’s benefiting from the same system oppressing the People he ought to fight for..

This here is what happens when you place monetary gain over moral poise
His mind has been sold to the devil

This is an extract from a longer speech. He also did say that the the looting youth can be engaged with job opportunities. It is also true that many people who read social media are instantly triggered into action without any investigation of the facts.

Always distinguish between those who protested peacefully and those who looted. They are not one and the same.
Engage them he said..... We been hearing that since 1914 so thats not a new thing... His a politician know and thinks his better but 2023 is a new dawn

Regulation of social media goes against freedom of speech principles, now you are giving the government license to prosecute, jail and kill you because of the things you say. Now where they will abuse it is that whatever they say is the truth no matter how contradictory it is.

Just look at the Army trading blames with the Lagos State government trying to cover up what happened. Are you going to tell me it is a good idea to let them decide what you can and can't say?
I understand your point whole heartedly. But I believe that when such laws are being created, several factors will be put into consideration including the preservation of human right and free speech, hence the balance mentioned earlier in my previous post.

Social media is too volatile to be left without any control.. I want to sleep knowing that when my kids visit the website, they will be protected against any misinformation, fake news, amorality etc.

With these laws, the perpetrators of such crimes can finally be brought to book and rightly so. Just because you choose to live recklessly online should not absolve you of any responsibility

He is representing his constituents by calling for peace via social media regulation.


Do you also ask who ordered a traffic police to stop you? Nobody ordered any shooting.
So the soldiers were shooting by themselves? Is that not a crime deserving of court martial to take action without prior command, especially on civilians? Or is there a terrorist group masquerading as the Nigerian army? huh

Desmond Idiot is truly an idiot.

Since this fool had his own share of the national cake, he totally lost his senses.

Complete sellout and total disgrace to the Nigerian youths.

You have disappointed your people idiot. I hope they get the courage to do the needful when the time comes.

This guy here is one of the worse politicians in Nigeria.

Bro, if u are reading this, understand that Social Media is not the problem, okay.

Politicians failed to develop our educational system over the years. Our pry and secondary school systems are already dead. These two are extremely important for any country! As a result of poor educational systems, we have many illiterates roaming the streets and many half baked educated citizens roaming up and down!

Politicians refused to create an enabling environment for business to strive in Nigeria. Many people are jobless and hungry!

We have population growth that does not correspond with our development! This here is time bomb!

Our politicians use thugs to win elections and hire thugs to fight protesters! They are left abandoned to roam the street and are source of chaos at anytime!

Our politicians play extreme game of tribalism and nepotism! Tell me how Buhari is so comfortable to have almost all the security heads headed by one region, excluding another major ethnic group! Your president and politicians have used ethnic game to finish this country!

Politicians have refused to work on the constitution to reflect true federalism. U cant have diverse ethnic groups and run a unitary system of govt, it doesnt work. It cant end well.

Oga politician, should I list more and more for u? These are the real problems of Nigeria and not social media or the youths!

U cant shut people up when u all have refused to behave well as politicians.

High population + high rate of illiteracy + poverty = Atomic bomb

Make una sorry, if u guys dont fix the above listed issues within the next 10 years and Nigeria keeps producing kids at this rate, sorry, it will be worse, worse, worse, worse. In fact, a time will come when ur kids abroad as a politician will be hit hard by angry Nigerians! Una think u can use security to threaten the people!

U all have seen that the security cant handle simultaneous chaos. Not possible!

[s]He made so much sense but the useless youth he's talking about will make a repeat of what he's complaining of and then shut him up....
Perhaps, he belongs to the APC, so it's expected.

However, I still think he's stupid for making reference to "lekki shooting ".. If anyone had indeed died by the hands of the army/police ( not thugs and stampede) , they are not better than those killed in other locations or states.[/s]

If you want to protect your kids do your job as a father and teach them right from wrong.

This current Nigerian political establishment will never care about human rights and freedom of speech, just power and making more willing zombies that will thank them for getting pure water as empowerment on this forum.

History has shown social media regulation is another tool for oppressive regimes. That's all I will say on this.

DESMOND U LACK WISDOM.


A WISE MAN KEEPS MUTE OR TALK LESS THIS PERIOD.

PEOPLE THINK ITS OVER .

NOT NOT SO SOON.

What happened went accross board, which means that the masses has perceptions about those in public office. And would be ready to strike at any little chance.


Just look at the pyramid table.

The masses covered large number of apace on the drawing.


EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THE NORTHERNERS WERE MADE TO BELIEVE THAT. ENDSARS PROTESTERS ARE PEOPLE WHO DOESN'T SUPPORT BUHARI GOVT, WHICH IS NOT TRUE.

BUT LATTER THEY DISCOVERED THAT SOME LIES THEMSELVES AND STARTED LOOTING COVID PALLIATIVES AND THEY FORGOT ABOUT TRIBALISM AND RELIGION AND FACED THE GOVT WITHO KNOWING

HUMAN BEING BELIEVES IN WHAT THEY SEE MORE THAN WHAT THEY HEAR.

He is right in many ways. I urge, beg Nigerians to stop automaticaly beliving what Nigerians abroad tell you. Question things, keep open minds, seek evidence.

The don't have any job than to accuse or curse anybody who opposed their stupid thought or replied their daft response! Unfortunately, cheap data cum unregulated social media has made it very convinient to twist their rusty rotten brain at will!

They now live and die by social media! No more constructive thinking! They believed and consumed everything on social media! Headline is enough to lead them astray because they will never reads what follows but when their made monster turn against them through spreading lies about thier personality or releasing doctured clip of their secret life, they kiss suicide immediately!

Desmond have a point jare.

The people who want to shape the narrative, don't want to talk about businesses looted to the ground.

They want to cover it with palliative looting. NO!!!!

people's businesses were destroyed for nothing but criminal reasons.

It has nothing to do with lekki shootings.

We just want to let it slide?

What a shame!


Besides only fools think the lekki road block was going to continue endlessly.

Those who want protest, have protested. Any result?

NO!!!!

On Nigeria the nation's part, educate the people on life abroad, showing them the good and the bad. Too many Nigerian have an unrealistic view of ABROAD. Nigeria needs to monitor Social Media. Nigeria needs to investigate Troll Houses. Nigeria needs to know her citizens better. Nigeria needs to register people at birth and death. Nigeria Desperately needs to keep a genetic database. Nigeria really needs to monitor immigration.
