92% of young Nigerians can't think for themselves, their mind flows with the latest trends.

If you are celebrity, media personality or a politician and you want to gain cheap "mediocre" popularity, tell the youths what they want to hear right now. If you also want to make silly enemies that wouldn't be able to point out the exact reason why they hate you, says things free of emotional biases and sentiments. They'll hate you for life.

They hate to hear you express yourself, but they force you to accept their dumb thoughts.
Tragic!

Less say we agree... What has he achieved as a representative of his constituency? Wooden bridge? Public toilet? Hmmmm? What?

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 may think otherwise.

90 percent of them are in this for clout chasing.

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.

you are wise man, you really understand how human mind works, somethings are better not said.

This is the most stupid and useless fact checking report I have ever read on SM. It shows the shallow level of thinking of the set of people sitting in one conner after getting paid stipends to write rubbish for cover up. Please you guys should learn to reason what they call "big picture". The world has moved from this trash you guys just spilled on the front page.

Desmond Elliot is a disgrace to this generation.
Simple!!!

Mr FactChekcer, please listen to his submission in the house and stop fact checking bloggers. Those ones are on a different kind of high, believe them at your own risk.
Desmond did say if nothing is done about social media, Nigeria would stop to exist.
The first day he came online to refute what one Dr Olufunlilayo posted on twitter. Days later, he apologized then deleted that same IG post where he was bashing the so called doctor. Why go through all that to prove he didn't call for Social Media regulation.

thebosstrevor1:
Children wont still believe.

Children don't believe in fact checking. They only believe in what influencers and celebrities tell them.

So why did Desmond say there will be no Nigeria is five years if the social media was not regulated

Yes I agree it was there before 2015.

On the issue at hand,

Desmond Eliot has been grossly misrepresented and high blackmailed.

He has realized the need to be on the side of the people by fire by force.

You're fast approaching your 50th birthday and still running around claiming youth.

It's because of people like you Desmond Eliot used the word children.

My brother, you took this out of my mind. I tweeted about being open minded before jumping into blind and senseless band wagon opinion but so unfortunate that that's just their means of livelihood and survival. Bunch of pathetic children.

Many people are supposed to be placed on baby food




Their level of comprehension is still at six-months old baby’s level





Many of them can’t do without insults.

This PR guy is a joke.

I agree with you to a great extent. But why do you say that you dare talk about the wrong doing of the protesters? And that you should side with the people by all means necessary.
As a fact , "the people" or masses have herd mentality. They are called masses for a reason.
It is for the sole reason that majority of the people are daft, unthinking, etc that governments became necessary.
Why are they hounding anyone that has a different opinion. They say they want freedom to post anything but cannot tolerate others who have a different view from them. Always cancelling this person or that person.

don't mind these ones oo they have collected change to come and post Rubbish they are selling their children's future for change to eat today. SMH

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.

God bless you too.

Like I said above, they are called "masses" for a reason.
"They hate to hear you express yourself, but they force you to accept their dumb thoughts" - this is so apt. It's so baffling that people that want freedom of speech would cuss & hound anyone that has a different train of thought. Such kind of people should never be allowed anywhere near power cos e go worse.

"To be honest, I always fear I'm doing/saying the wrong thing when I have the majority of Nigerians supporting me."
Fact. This is true almost everywhere. Populists are a very dangerous set of people.
