Take a look at the picture below. The APC government headed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must have bribed his way too.

To you everything is bribe.

APOPTOSIS:
Lawless Country.
Truly speaking nothing will happen to them.
They gonna be released soon, the moment one political godfather puts a call through.
Recycling lawlessness and poverty should be included in that country's national pledge.

This is why Nnamdi Kanu is still alive. Otherwise by law he should have been..................

DoctorStanley:
He can't do nothing, nada, zilch. Infact less than nothing. Yorubas and their useless "kings"

Your King is still with DSS happy wearing Fendi everyday. He threatened that heaven will fall if anything happens to him. His followers did the same. The end result amounted only to a distabilized Igboland and the running away of Igbos from their homes because Igbos ended up killing one another.

LagosOrigin:
You cannot sell what you don't have . This proves it right that tinubu 2yrs in government and APC terrorist organization regime has been a huge failure all around.

May we get it right in 2027 by kicking this terrorist party out of our national lives.

Nlfpmod, please Nigerians need to see how low Nigeria has descended under this incompetent president, Bola tinubu.

The escalation of the booth brouhaha is unnecessary. Why do we always focus on trivialities.

Obi should focus on how to have people who will stand as party agents for him during elections. He had empty representations across the country could have stood as witnesses and could have defended his votes as party agents during elections.

Truvelisback:
Must I be one of them? If you are observant, you should know except you aren't a Nigerian or you probably chose to turn a blind eye.

The kind of response I was expecting lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So you can actually afford qualify food, and drive your own car around. The country is good for you lol.

DaddyJapan:
How does this letter address the concerns @Jakumo raised?

If his interpretation of the law he quoted is correct - note that I have not read it myself - surely, we all need to be alarmed by its blatant overreach as well as the excessive penalties it prescribes.

We model our nation's imperfect democracy on the United States' and United Kingdom's. Yet in both these countries, people do not go to jail simply for arguing a case for secession or republicanism. Why is it that neither you nor @helinues appear to be remotely pertubed by what appears to be a draconian law, even though you know damn well that it infringes on our civil liberties. Are you so blinded by party loyalty that your critical thinking skills have been completely eroded?

Lies! People go to the jail. Many are in jail for their utterances and actions in especially the United States of America.

Once again

Softmirror:
Opinions should not just be opinions, opinions should be made based on facts and should also be expressed in a very civil manner that is constructive intented to make correction.

So my point again.

Softmirror:
Free speech has limitations even in the United States of America. You can't use your social media handle to be threatening the government without suffering the consequences. Just like Nnamdi Kanu is facing the consequences of his speeches.

Truvelisback:
Inflation and the devaluation of Naira is also affecting most business men and women. Many folks can no longer afford new or quality food or goods e.g new cars. Many car owners have dumped their cars for public buses. As a result, fake products are now rampart. As long as poverty rate is very high, it means nothing.

Are you one of those who cant afford qualify food have you also dumped your car for public transportation?

Obidients should be the ones pushing to know if Nnamdi Kanu is a liar and just wants to tarnish the image of Peter Obi.

Peter Obi should sue Nnamdi Kanu for the allegations he made against Peter Obi about his sexuality if Nnamdi Kanu lied against him. So as it stands, Obi's son took after his father. His son is only doing what Nnamdi Kanu publicly said his father, Peter Obi also does. Yet you as Obi supporter have never questioned the allegation by Nnamdi Kanu.

Are you among the lowest ranking Policemen? It's just a question.

EvilMerodack:
This is like asking him to openly admit to be g-a-y himself

Thats an owngoal

Obidients should be the ones pushing to know if Nnamdi Kanu is a liar just want to tarnish the image of Peter Obi.

Truvelisback the reason is because people now make more profit than before.

Truvelisback:
Booming with the high rate of poverty. Nigerians are used to SS (suffering and smiling).

It is a business you see every where today unlike in the past when it was sold at a lesser price. This is an observable fact.

Jakumo:
Ok, now I understand your point. We are in agreement that free speech is the cornerstone of electoral democracy's immutable rights.

Free speech has limitations even in the United States of America. You can't use your social media handle to be threatening the government without suffering the consequences. Just like Nnamdi Kanu is facing the consequences of his speeches.

Jakumo:
Frankly I do not understand your question in the slightest. Anyway I do thank you for this input, and maybe with further study of your responses, I will be in a better position to offer a rejoinder that will meet with your approval.

In the meantime I also look forward to hearing from other Nairaland writers, regarding how this new press law will affect their future conduct as online opinion commentators, bearing in mind the greatly broadened scope of what can now be construed as illegal expressions of opinion.

You can see how insincere you are. There is absolutely nothing wrong with expressing one's opinion, criticism on social media in a clear cut constructive way.

AustineE1:
The ethnic MODs will not bring down this post,for a headline misrepresenting what the governor said because it suits certain narratives but will be fast to bring down anyone that goes against their pay masters

It becomes ethnic when it involves Igbos. Calling a Spade a spade like Soludo is what? Abi na Fintiri and Abike Dabiri be una problem.

Brendaniel:
She picked them from the street for content creation?

No she went to meet the Inspector General of Police to give her some men.😁

About focusing on symptoms. Can you tell us why you longer queue for fuel at filling stations and why ASSU has not been on strike for 2 years plus?!

Brendaniel:
So she just saw them on the streets and told them to follow her abi?

For content creation.

Jakumo:
I fail to recognize how this rather dated letter is relevant to this discussion of press freedom and freedom of speech.

Is it a fact or not?! You are running away. When I said opinions should be backed by facts I know what I am talking about.

Jakumo:
The definition of what "facts" are, is not always clear-cut, and is open to variable interpretation. For example, one report claims 27 people lost their lives in a recent northern Nigeria mosque attack by terrorists, while the death toll in the same incident might be reported as 33 people by yet another news outlet.

There is no way of telling which of those two figures is "the truth", but that ambiguity should not be allowed to become the basis for prosecuting any writer who goes online to assign blame for the insecurity in that area to government officials who funded the unlawful immigration and arming of gunmen from Nigeria or Chad, to suppress their opposition followers during election season.

The wording of the new law also places discussion forum website operators such as our Oga Seun in grave danger BECAUSE this new law attempts to hold forum operators, and even WhatsApp chat group administrators, legally liable and culpable for ANYTHING written by total strangers in their website's discussion forum. Anyone complaining about the new more aggressive spam bot now prowling the Nairaland forum can better understand why this rigorous self-censorship is a matter of life and liberty for website owners who must remain on the right side of changing laws in Nigeria.

Is this a FACT below. If it is not what is it?!

Ericmaestrooffi:
Call me childish or whatever but I don’t keep friends or contact with any of my ex regardless of how the relationship ended.
Immediately the relationship ends I block and delete everything that reminds me of them, contact , pictures e.t.c Currently I don’t have any of my exes contact on my phone, early this year I had to change my number so I cut ties totally with all of them.

I don’t see them as my enemies or anything of sort, as a matter of fact I wish them well but it’s from a distance, I can’t imagine being just friends with someone I once loved unless the feelings wasn’t genuine.
Most people I shared this view with says I’m childish and there’s nothing wrong with being friends with an ex but for me I think cutting you off is the surest way for me to move on.

What do you think?

Some became ex due to their genotype not being compatible.

Brendaniel:
I'm not wrong, look at your approach to solving this problem here, isn't it clear, that's how you people including Tinubu do your things....

dismissing the officers did not solve the underlying problem, If I were to be in charge I won't dismiss the officers, they might get punishment, but I would go after those who assigned them to her in the first place then place a ban on assigning police officers to anyone who is not a government official that actually requires by law police officers, only the court can grant police protection to an individual based on certain cases that might be before it.

Then the police should work with private security firms to give them license to carry arms, that way private security firms will be regulated by the police, this will boost the private security business in the country, so if you feel you need protection, go to private firms and spend your money, you can't be using the police which is not even enough for Nigerians for private use...

isn't this a better way to solve the problem, even if Angela or any person wants to use the private security to do jogging or act porn, it is her money, nobody will be bothered, do you know that the number of police men attached to private individuals and politicians are more than the police men doing work for the remaining Nigerians?


Isn't that a problem to you and Tinubu? maybe not, that's you people will call dismissal a solution to a problem that is systemic, imagine dismissing police officers when their number is not even enough and the cause of their dismissal has not been solved...

You see why I said you people like attacking symptoms and leaving the problems unsloved....

You are only assuming that someone assigned them to her. Do you know the person who assigned them to her?!

Policemen who go out to brutilize people on the streets on behalf of their girlfriends get assigned by higher officials before the engage in such acts.

franchasng

Peter Obi should sue Nnamdi Kanu for the allegations he made against Peter Obi about his sexuality if Nnamdi Kanu lied against him. So as it stands, Obi's son took after his father. His son is only doing what Nnamdi Kanu publicly said his father, Peter Obi also does. Yet you as Obi supporter have never questioned the allegation by Nnamdi Kanu.

Brendaniel:
The officers did not assign themselves to Angela Okorie, there is a systemic problem which is bigger than the police officers getting dismissed, that is what the police should be tackling, if it is tackled these police officers won't even be assigned to her in the first place, the police officers are only victims of that systemic rot.

One thing I have noticed about you guys including Tinubu is that you people love fighting symptoms of problems while the underlying cause keeps getting worse, that's why Nigeria is where it is today, as they've dismissed these officers, does it change anything to others still doing the same all over the country?


No, the only reason why we saw this is because it was caught on Camera, the underlying cause is still all over...

You are wrong with respect to the bolded. It still remains that you are not happy with the dismissal of those officers.

And yet it is one business that is booming today.

Jakumo:
I hope you are right in this assumption that this new law is yet to be debated by the Supreme Court, because if it has been implemented already as suggested by this video clip, the government will have assumed the power to lock up virtually anyone who expresses any unfavorable opinion in any online forum such as this one.

Opinions should not just be opinions, opinions should be made based on facts and should also be expressed in a very civil manner that is constructive intented to make correction.

Antoeni:
But bad bele people Agbado people saying his is this and that

A man like Peter Obi can’t raise a bad product never!

Peter Obi should sue Nnamdi Kanu for the allegations he made against Peter Obi about his sexuality if Nnamdi Kanu lied against him. So as it stands, Obi's son took after his father.
