Lol, BMC doing the most.

I really don't get the idea behind politicians calling citizens children.
They are public servants not our fathers or mothers and should do the job they collect huge sums for.

That's the point.

There's nowhere in the speech where Mr Elliot advocated 'social media regulation in Nigeria'.

For calling most people on social media "Children". Which they apparently might be, since they can't spare few minutes to watch the video, but listen to hearsay.

Most people actually did not watch the video, dey just jumped on trends. In understand why Instagram celebrities are happy to jump on trends, but you that is not making any money from social media hype, what is your gain?

There's been a lot of cyberspace bullying taking place since 2015 and it's even worse with the endsars protests situation.

Truthfully speaking the government has been wrong in some instances and protesters have been wrong in some instances as well.

But you dare not talk about what the protesters have done wrong over the past 3 weeks.

You dare not!

Media personalities, the so called music celebrities and the so called nollywood celebrities would do, say and post whatever it takes to be seen to be "on the side of the people" when in actual fact, deep in their hearts they think otherwise.

Desmond Eliot made a huge mistake; speaking out with honesty and objectivity.
In this situation you do not speak with honesty and objectivity!

You make sure you side with "the people" by every means necessary.

Hmm in as much as I want to belief dis

I won't neglect the fact dat some people of high profile will do and pay anything for damage control

so let's begin from your constituency honorable Sir
Re: Fact-Check: Did Desmond Elliot Call For Social Media Regulation As Claimed? by Nobody:
Social Media need to be highly regulated, if they don't, something similar to Rwanda's tutsis and hutus will happen one day.

People will hide under faceless forum and throw bomb to the public just because everyone has access to browsing phones.

Anything one posts without verification, if its comes out to be false the poster need to face penalty.

In fact why people fear regulations in social media if we are using media truthfully!

In Nigeria no one cares about facts. Just headlines, vibes, cruise, emotions and insha Allah cheesy. Also we always go with the first story we hear so anything goes sad.

Children don't believe in fact checking. They only believe in what influencers and celebrities tell them.
They won't believe in APC sponsored fact checkers and 30k monthly cowed sycophants

Telling someone you don't even know that he's a government beneficiary because his opinion differs is correction abi?

This is the truest thing I'll be reading in a long while. And I had to quote almost everything because I could keep reading it on and on again without getting bored. God bless you!
To be honest, I always fear I'm doing/saying the wrong thing when I have the majority of Nigerians supporting me.

I hate people sounding daft just like you now.. he never called for regulation of SM. That is why you should watch the video and not all this herd Mentality. If you don't have anything to say. Shutup, you will not miss any payment if you talk before thinking.
