BILLGATE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

Another one.
Despite having a brain, you have decided to become a mental slave to other people.

BeLookingIDIOT:
The way you guys swallow Western media propagandas hook,line,sinker

A Nigerian blogger published a piece fake news using a deceptive headline and all you could see is western media.
SMH

seanwilliam:
better than aljazeera and cnn?? Lol

Yes.
CNN and Aljazeera has their own private agendas.
North Korea state TV has only one agenda.
To make Fat Kim look good.

SmartyPants:
Lol. But of course it is not for me to determine whether it meets legal criteria sir. It is a fact that it does not because what he did falls under the fair comment exception because it was made without malice/the maker of the statement believed it to be true.

I don't know why i would need to have an idea of EFCC's next move to know what defamation is or isn't.

Again, you arrogate the responsibility of a judge by declaring the false statement to be a protected fair comment.

The bold is your opinion and nobody will take the opinion of a defendant's lawyer as the law itself.
Why do we even have the courts if anyone could just read the law books and summarily decide a case based on
their understanding?

Believing a statement to be true does not exempt you from libel.
No one will ever be convicted if such were the case.

The blogger's post was clearly malicious whether it is fair is a different question.

mrZENographer:
Coronavirus has also infected thousands of people in parts of American states like California.
The CDC is not testing people believed to be infected so that there are no numbers. DON'T TEST, DON'T TELL

An infected American woman is in critical condition after getting infected from unknown source. She has not travelled outside America. And she came herself and desired to be tested but the test was delayed for 11 days. Now she's in critical condition.
There are forcing in deep state attempting to spread Coronavirus in America. This will aid in the forceful/mandatory vaccination agenda and battle against Trump winning the upcoming elections.

Go back to the internet sewer you crawled out from.
Plagiarizing conspiracy theories doesn't make you appear intelligent safe to dumb folks.

0m0nnakoda:
I wish our people would learn how to think and ask questions

It is said that

Until lions have their own story tellers man will own the story of the hunt.
North Korea has no CNN or AlJazeera

We must learn to ask if there is another side to the story and who will tell it

North Korea has a better one.
The equivalent of pro-government NTA.

SmartyPants:
Sir, the threshold of defamation is a legal -- not common sense -- concept. If you don't have legal knowledge, kindly disengage at this point. This is not a battle for you.

Throwing around words doesn't make you look smart to knowledgeable people.
You mentioned defamation without context or any idea of EFCC's next move.
It is not for you to decide what meets which legal criteria, that shouldn't be too hard for a legal
luminary should it?

As you rightly said, stick to what you know!

LosC:
I disagree.

Coronavirus cannot survive in Nigeria..

What do you gain by spreading fake news everywhere?
Do you have such a tough life that online attention-seeking is your only way out?

Built2last:
UK News paper says we have 43 cases of Coronavirus.

can we ask them where they got their figure from

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8053555/UK-schools-close-TWO-MONTHS-plan-contain-coronavirus.html

Dailymail is not a UK newspaper any more than Igbere news is a Nigeria Newspaper.
NTA is to Nigeria what BBC is to UK.

BanevsJoker:
But shouldn't you focus on the fact there was a terrorist attack? I mean, which one is a bigger crime? Mass murder or human error?

We do not know if this is a human error or deliberate malice.
A terrorist attack is a serious crime but it is not some super-secret affairs that only a few are privy to.

What should have been a backlash against the real operators of the center has now been turned into
a fake news offense.

Remember the recently killed Kaka?
If someone had wrongly accused the navy of killing him, the case
would have been reduced to accusations and counter-accusations and if the navy were able to show
they had nothing to do with it and were able to arrest the originator of the accusation, then people can't focus on the crime itself but the purveyor of the fake attribution.

In short, the SARS officer will still be employed, the closed SARS offices
would still be in operation and the IG wouldn't even bother to do an eye service.

This liar of a guy has done more harm than good since nobody will ever be held responsible
due to his impulsivity.

SmartyPants:
He may have made a mistake in his reporting but his point was not about EFCC, it was about the treatment of Nigerians. Secondly, there are no grounds for arresting him. What he did does not even reach the threshold of defamation.

If the accusation does not meet the threshold of defamation according to you, then there is no reason
why anybody should care about the news.

If he had accused the Nigerian police of operating the center, most people won't
even bother to react as we expect worse behavior from them.
The aim of the guy was to paint EFCC in a bad light and he succeeded.

This is a classic case of defamation.

BanevsJoker:
Exactly. If ISWAP attack a community, and I report that Boko Haram attacked a community, will I be arrested for fake news? Or will the terrorists, regardless of their affiliation be arrested and brought to justice?

Your analogy does not follow.
If you reported that ISWAP attacks the government house when the target is actually an event center,
you deserve to be arrested.
It is better to not specify when you are not sure.

SmartyPants:
What I am finding so interesting is the fact that the building in said tweet is acknowledged to belong to another agency. So the basic fact of something not looking quite all right with the way the security apparatus treats Nigerian citizens remains glaringly unanswered.

It is not the duty of EFCC to investigate detention facilities.
Why didn't the liar tell us which agency it belongs to?
People will become apathetic to similar news in the future because this idiot failed to do his job.

ki02020:
I hope the virus can survive the weather sha...the weather here no be play

I suppose the desert countries weather are very friendly, that is why they are battling the disease.
There are idiots who will believe your fake news and refuse to take precautions and ignorantly spread the disease.
The good news is that you are not safer than the average joe.

Princepioneer:
[s]BTW..our current hot weather temperature no go gree the virus survive talkless of spreading...and Our genes too strong for the virus to strife [/s]

Keep spreading fake news.

johnmartus:
Afenifere are coward. Instead to call for separation they are calling for restructuring.

How about your father and the brave elders in your family?

Makavelli25:
Yea thats it. I rear local dogs and I have a lot of them. I had a dog that gave birth to 5 pups and after 2 weeks they all died. I suspected poisoning but as a young wise man I moved on.

Not long after the mother dog died too. I was mad like wtf they killed it too. But no lele na local dog cheap. I got another one and like a miracle it gave me 7 pups. These new pups are dying again, left with 4 and they are not old yet I would have sold them.

My neighbors are killing my dogs and I don't know what to do. They even Sympathised with me sef (oju aye) but I know baba GOD DEY WATCH

If I am your neighbor, you will be visiting the police station every week.
It is not your house, yet you are making the life of your neighbors hellish by keeping several dogs.
You are even a threat to their health.

johnmattew:
been hearing the same thing since one week ago....no African have died of the virus......use of anti Malaria drugs,chloroquine has been tipped to be the reason

Don't buy the lie.
It is a beer parlor gossip.

gunpoint:
Are you kidding or you joking? Which one?

He is lying.
We have many sadist in this country.

cashlurd:
I don't understand how these people always conclude on these number of years... How many years precisely has the world been in existence then?

Approx. 4.6 billion.
Don't be a lazy youth.
Use Google to learn.

aleeyus:
Like I said earlier, evolution is the most irrational course in science
it should be banned ASAP

Because it is too complex for you to understand.
Stick to your middle ages book of flying horses.

Appetizerbmaz:
I see no truth in this woman's statement. Most women come out with emotional nonsense just to cover up their promiscuous lifestyles. If all she said was true, the man wouldn't say what he didn't see. The dude shouldn't have said them in front of their kids, but anger....... Hmmm

If what he said is the truth, why is he opposing the divorce?
Isn't he supposed to be extremely happy that he will be freed soon?

There are only 2 answers here.
He is a jobless gigolo who relies on his wife for survival or he is the dumbest man on
earth to be fighting for someone he considers a prostitute.
In either case, the woman is better off as a single.

MelesZenawi:
Nigeria is a country whose real meaning is champion your ethnic course.

While Buhari is doing everything possible to elevate and champion his hausa-fulani course by putting them in strategic positions.....


The vice president Prof Yemi Osinbajo is not left out also in championing of his own ethnic course to elevate his people to strategic positions.


Now the questions are who are the Nigerians

Aides are not strategic positions and neither are they, regular government workers.
No one appoints a stranger as aide.

Oshigun:
Dude, you are a backward and unexposed functional illiterate for this retarded statement. Because a man braids his hair, has tattoos and wears clothing paying homage to popular culture, rather than the suit or shirt and tie intolerant and unexposed elements like you worship slavishly, he is automatically a yahoo boy? How are you different from these SARS savages who are nothing but unexposed cavemen and brutal killers?

You are suffering from deep inferiority complex.
Don't fool yourself, neither tattoos nor braiding are not a popular culture among the Nigerian society.
It is funny how someone who is clearly ignorant of popular culture is calling another an illiterate.

Look, stop coming here forming informed contributor. You are an unexposed, intolerant and prejudiced nuisance for these views you air here. SARs might as well start shooting and arresting Davido, Wizkid, Burna boy, Olamide, Timaya, Zlatan et al on sight then. Some of these young men are just following popular music and lifestyle culture. That does not make it okay for SARs officers to automatically profile them as Yahoo boys to be persecuted unfairly or killed extra-judicially. Idiat.

Just because some crime-infested section of the American populace adopted some lifestyle doesn't make it right.
I see you listed artists there even though we all know there stock in trade is largely anti-stability.
Only a kid would put them up as a model of a societal model.
Anyone wearing a braid or tattoo is sending one message only, "I am different and can be dangerous".

The fact that you can't separate 2 different issues; irresponsible fashion and SARS criminality speaks volume to
your thought process.
You really think lumping the two together will make your vacuous arguments solid?

We should encourage modern and thorough investigation of anyone suspected of a crime and not their summary judgement and lawless punishment based on senseless prejudice against their hairstyle and dressing.

Again, you haven't shown any sign of advanced thought.
Even countries with 10X Nigeria's security budget rely on local profiling to catch criminals.

No one will spend half their department budget pursuing low-level criminals so as to look cool.
I don't blame you though, you are a victim of Hollywood like many Nigerians.
Hollywood has repeatedly lied that the pettiest of criminals are investigated
with sophisticated methods when the good ol' profiling is what regular cops use in fishing out
small-time criminals.

Here you are providing security non-advise to Nigeria using corporate bullshit language.

If you choose to adopt a gang lifestyle, don't be surprised if the people and the government suspect you.

This article was written for illiterates and the ignorant.
We did not copy American federalism such as state police and resource control.
That is why we have so many problems.

tillaman:
Even if he was trying to resist, there are better ways to restrain a human being other than this method they chose, they could have opted for a more subtle method, maybe induce him with some powerful sleeping pills so once he opens his eyes the first thing he will see is Welcome to Cameroon from there he go find him square root go him house
Only God knows Wetin pursue the man comot for turkey dey go dubai of all places with fake visa
No one deserves this treatment

If they do that they will lose face internationally and suffer financial damages.
It is better to beat someone black and blue than inject them with any substance.
In case the opportunity presents itself, never inject a drug into another person without their
consent.
The consequences may be grave.

adonismuller:
Do you know how many families that make a living by selling beef? Do you think everyone has money to buy turkey and bush meat? Learn to be rational in thinking!

SARS officers' families make a living from their extortion and torture.
Some families make a living packing sound from rivers which in turn leads to environmental problems.
Some even make a living kidnapping on highways.

AnanseK:
Rubbish. This cannot be a substitute to the development that Delta State desperately needs but doesn’t have despite the billions of Naira the Governor collects monthly from oil revenue.
I will consider him a serious person if establishes dairy farms and beef canning factories for export from Delta State and managed by well trained Delta indigenes.

It will be rubbish to you because you don't value human lives.

Aregbe shouldn't pretend to not know about the civil war going on in Osun APC.

SciLab:
You are talking nonsense. Customary laws are sacrosanct. Traditional marriage is even more sacrosanct that white wedding.


That marriage has not been properly customarily consumated and remain illegal If Chioma's father drags Davido to court, he will win.

Which cave are you from?
Marriage isn't required for legal paternity.

maasoap:
If this was coming from Buhari, you all would have been shouting "dictator"! No matter how any sane person looks at it, it still remains human right abuse. It can't stand and can't come alive in any state. Beheading is not a cure for headache

Don't compare Buhari with Okowa who is trying to legally solve a perennial problem.
I will not buy not eat beef while pretending to hate beef-related killings.
Neither will I oppose those trying to solve the problem while providing no viable alternative.
