He had served as LG chairman. No smoke without fire. His accomplice who was picked up by EFCC is the suspected whistle blower.

Seun:
Nairaland is a private space. We have the right to kick you out if you don't follow our rules, just as you have the right to kick a guest out of your house if s/he says something you don't like. Just as a mosque has the right to kick out a pastor who comes into the mosque to preach. But we will not attack you physically or try to murder or jail you just because you criticized or made fun of our beliefs. We have no right to do that.

Yes, there should be exceptions to freedom of speech. It should be illegal to call for violent acts against anybody. It should be illegal to deliberately lie against an innocent person to ruin that person's reputation, if a lawyer can prove that it was a deliberate lie. But it should not be illegal to insult or offend or provoke people. Nobody should have the right to not be insulted. No beliefs should have the privilege of not being criticised or mocked. People should be made to learn that, while they can't control what others say, they can and must control their reactions.

vedaxcool:
did anyone notice how mr. freedom of speech couldn't even answer why he has moderators in his forum? He dodged a bullet I must say, a very well rigged hook by betathings. If you believe what you claim put it to practice.

That is your own view and it is abhorrent in Nigeria

Most of the views canvassed by people who think like you are not original. They are products of western indoctrination

Yet I cannot, as a researcher, go across Europe and say based on my studies the Holocaust did not take place, I would be jailed

BTW What is the benefit in offending people?

Can you go to the streets of Benin and insult the Oba? Or Ojukwu in Awka? Or Awo in Ikenne?

Or what would you do if somebody insulted your dad?

The needless provocation of people serves no useful end and it is alien to our culture

Akdegreat:
Seun said "Freedom of speech includes the freedom to offend".
The respondent replied as though Seun said that "Freedom of speech is freedom to offend".

stixz:
I believe the there's a reason why rights were created and also why limitations to these rights were created.

You can't just go about talking about people anyhow either good or bad and expect the person to let you be.

YourImaginaryBF:
freedom of expression does not say you should go about saying ill things of other peoples belief.

YourImaginaryBF:
I'm sure you skipped this part "He also posted an article describing Mohammadas "attracted to his daughter-in-law". The posts were seen by the Indonesian Council of Ulema, who reported him to the police for blasphemy.

Explorers:
10. Turkey is poised to be the first predominantly Muslim country to be a member of the European Union and this is partly because of the fact that it is a relatively peaceful country. It has a 98.5% Muslim population with a secular democratic government.

Explorers:
2. Indonesia.

mrmrmister:
But according to your religion, if I rob or even kill in a gruesome manner, I won't be judged once I ask for forgiveness. So evil people can still escape justice.

BluePearls:
