I don’t expect X to follow a reporting standard and my comment was directed at those who accuse Brazilian authorities of stifling free speech as if X is a bastion of free speech and not a propaganda outlet for Musk, things he finds agreeable, and his allies such as the Israelis.

A user generated content platform refusing to follow laws and leveling false accusations is the height of delusional entitlement

Then we are on the same page.
The Brazilian government has done nothing wrong. Brazilian law should reign supreme in Brzail and not
what Musk wants.

Those accusing the Brazilian government are either ignorant or partisan.
Free speech provisions and restrictions is country-specific, not some universal moral right, not that such right will ever exist.

Sapasenator:


Musk block people who criticize him on X and the idiot is talking about free speech. Free speech as long as you are in agreement with him, Musk's definition of free speech.

Free speech is about the government not Musk or any other individual.
A person may claim to advocate for free speech and still threatens others
who engage in free speech.
Some will describe it as hypocrisy but I think it is more complicated than that.

An individual is NOT required to respect free speech on their property(X a property of Musk) but the government is.

That disgusting Boer swine doesn’t care about no “free speech” and his fan boys are just dumb bastards. He is a fascist suffering from the psychosis of wealth and using that twitter crap to enable depraved characters like him.

If he cared about free speech for instance, twitter would be the venue to view all Jew atrocities in Palestine for example but you would be hard pressed to find such.

The only person who owes you equal free speech protection is your government not private companies.
Not even news media are required to carry news or event you care about, you must seek out those
that agree with your worldview.

I don't care about X either way but expecting a user generated content platform to follow any reporting standard
not required by law is nothing but entitlement.

If you have an X account, you can start posting those atrocities say as reported by Aljazeera, you may even buy ads
to promote them. Don't expect X to help you with that.
The only thing X care about is X itself plus some vain culture war of its owner.

Musk can't be arrested in the US for anything relating to free speech.
US is the safest space for Musk and has the most liberal free speech protection
of any country. No pun intended.

The telegram guy was arrested for shielding actual criminals.
I am not aware of Musk refusing a [b]legal [/b]subpoena from a US court.
He would have long been incarcerated.

On the other hand SpaceX is the safest asset for Musk because
there is no competition anywhere except from the Russians.

ogbonti:

Go and sit down - Nigerians use X more than Brazilians and was Twitter not banned in Nigeria under Jack Dorsey? Is Nigeria not back on X now? what did all that shakara by Lai Mohammed achieve? NOTHING!

You obviously know nothing about business.

Even democrats who were criticizing Elon Musk for interviewing Donald Trump and spewing gabbage that he was misinforming the world bla bla bla - has any of them deactivated their account in protest of that interview? a big fat NO

Twitter is a business not charity.
Members not deactivating isn't the same as making profit.
And if Musk continue in that trajectory, he will end up filing for bankruptcy.

Pat081:
and if the wife did not tell him too , him too will still be spending on the daughter everything work out for good for him

Nothing actually work out for him.
A incestuous fool sleeping with his daughter is not to be emulated or celebrated.
He belongs in jail, if he is not lying to save face.

cococandy:
None authoritarian countries do want free speech.
It’s just that Musk’s definition of free speech is hate speech. The two aren’t the same at all.

Free speech is freedom to speak out against oppression by the elected/appointed authorities. Freedom to profess your faith. Freedom to live how you want.

When their version of free speech is to promotes violence/discrimination against any subset of people , then it’s not free speech. It’s hate speech. Elon knows this. He’s very very deeply disturbed and an unintelligent disingenuous liar.

Hate speech is actually a subset of free speech, it is just a restricted or illegal form.

Your argument will be valid if Musk banned every other speech except hate speech
on Twitter.
It appears he doesn't.

Though free speech protection started out of need to protect citizens from government restrictions
or consequences for speech against the state, it has grown beyond that.

A journalist who writes a libellous article against an individual for example is enjoying free speech even though
there is consequence for libel.
You can only argue that libel is not a protected speech.

Tightpussy2024:

The colleague collected the money and later on transferred it to the company. That is the full gist.

Any business owner knows this happens. If someone steals,you ask for refund and sack,we have belittled police alot by invoking them in trival issues

Stealing is not trivial.
It is a well defined crime in every country!

The colleague refunded after police involvement.
Moreover, if a business have a policy against employees accepting payment into private account,
then all employees must follow such even if it means losing business.

tutudesz:

Stick to your political ass kissing
Do you know security equipment means

The fact that you use the word "security equipment" means you don't know what you are saying.

maasoap:


100k bail condition reduced to 50k was more than a humane bail condiition. He kept the matter away from his entire family members with the exception of one brother who was equally useless. The didn't have friends? Where was the thieving colleague he was defending? I hope he has learnt his lessons to mind his business, have friends, be in good terms with his family members, etc

Humane is relative.
There are people whose account balance has never exceeded 20K and may happen
to be the star in their immediate family.
If you give such a person 20K bail, they will never get out of jail unless with external help.

Moreover, bail condition in civil suit should be based on what the suspect can reasonably
afford and not the entire family assumed net worth.

I do not believe the boy's narration about keeping it from his family because the Nigerian
jail is not where anybody wants to be for that long if they have viable options.

He most likely have fallen out badly with majority of them and couldn't reach out.

Of course.

To further explain my reason for resigning, I sent another text on October 14, advising him to learn leadership and management skills because of how he humiliated a colleague who collected N125,000 from a client into his personal account

In other words, you were locked up for defending a thief.

The only issue I have with this is the long-term remand due to his inability to make bail.
It is time we found better ways of ensuring court attendance other than imposing
overbearing bail on poor suspects.

Musk will eventually lose all his $40 billion dollar investment into Twitter and file for bankruptcy.

Many countries are waiting for the EU to make the fist big move and the knives will be out.

Despite what Musk and his fanboys think, no country want absolute free speech.
They may claim they do, but they really don't especially when violence, potential
violence and high stake criminality is involved.

Unfortunately, Zuckerberg isn't learning from Musk's mistake.

greenermodels:
Russia needs to enforce red lines in this war, Ukraine is not their mate.

There is no red line beyond the use of nuke which will likely bring about the end of Putin himself.
But Putin, despite being old is not suicidal.
Even if he is suicidal, his deputies are not.

This isn't 1945.

Presidential Jet of $100 million that could buy security equipment to end bandits, Boko Haram and UGM

Don't kid yourself.
Stick to what you know.

nnatobryno:
Why is he targeting civilians. These are soft targets and amount to war crimes, what do we get?

Can you tell us the number of civilians killed by Putin since the war began?
Do you think he has also committed war crimes?
I doubt your answer is yes because civilians only matter when your guys are at the receiving end.

To those who may be misinformed by your comment.
Ukraine can't even target civilians because of the long list of rules attached to western weapons usage
unlike Putin who answer only to himself.
It took more than 2 years before Ukraine was even allowed to fire on Russia's territory.

Americans control ICC

NO. America has nothing to do with the ICC.
And Putin despite killing tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians have not been charged
for killing civilians in Ukraine. Hint, he was charged for kidnapping and selling Ukrainian children
to barren Russian women.

This man should stop lying.
Ex-factory price is radically different from retailer price in all industry.
If you feel cheated by the sellers, rent a trailer and go buy the cement
directly from BUA factory.

Basicend:


God bless you.

But there have been several similar topics on this matter recently on naiaraland, highlighting your points, I don't know why the OP and the mod are putting it up for us again.

It is a mischievous topic typical of the average Nigerian love of sensationalism.
The refinery ownership has never been a secret.

The OP even claimed that imaginary analysts "have raised questions as to why dangote Refinery hasn't started producing petroleum products"
when we all know that statement is false.
Dangote has been roducing other fuels apart from PMS.

The mod loves it because it will generate many conspiracy responses.

The funny thing is 100% of tourist sites you think are holy have "idol" history.
Think this is false? just provide one counter example.

CSTRR:

If Nigerian men spend half the money they spend on Nigerian ladies on other African women, there would be scarcity of single Nigerian men.

Na see-finish be una problem.

When you factor in purchasing power.
They spend more on foreign African women.

Deceptive!
No seller will refuse buying at lower price.
Rabiu wants an average struggling cement seller to buy their own trucks and run
a logistic business alongside their cement business.
Where will the capital for such come from.

Flangelo12:


Defamatory to who?

You guys are full of BS.

Don't be lazy.
Go read the defamation section of Canadian law.

Flangelo12:


You guys just write rubbish.

In theory, she can have her citizenship revoked.

Everything depends on how it is interpreted.

Now reread what you wrote, does it make any sense to you?

How does theory trumps practicality?
Do you have any case where a foreign citizen was deported from
Canada at the insistence of a non-western country after the suspect's attorney
argued the political and human rights angle?

In theory, the first line in your response could be interpreted to be defamatory
according to Canadian law!

Flangelo12:
I'm.sure she can be stripped or her citizenship


Don't.let it get to your head.

No, she can't.
In fact, the letter the house wrote,makes it impossible for her to be deported.
All her lawyer needs to claim is that she is a political target of the Nigerian government and
her rights will be violated if deported and no Canadian court will deport her.

They should have left the issue for the police to handle.

I don't know what is wrong with this one.
Does he think World war 3 will favor Palestinian.
That will be like giving Netanyahu the perfect gift.

If history is anything to go by, World war 3 will effectively destroy the
hope of a Palestinian state as no government in the west will care about "rights" when millions
of lives are at stake.

seunmsg:
Western hypocrisy on steroid. Once you create something that becomes globally successful and you’re not from US or their European puppets, they do everything to bring you down. CZ’s major crime still remains his Chinese ancestry while Durov’s crime is his Russian ancestry.

What is the Binance's employees in Nigeria's police custody major crime?

At least, France didn't go about hunting down Telegram's employees, they
took action against the owner.
Neither are they extra-judicially demanding some imaginary billions in exchange for his freedom aka ramsom.

Eagle360:
I'm not supporting the police but this is a charade from Ajaero. Is Ajaero above the law, why the unnecessary noise about police invitation?
Everything is political in this country.
They should get the f.ck, country is upside-down.

You are either supporting the police or you don't know how the police should work.
Everything Ajaero did since "invitation" is perfectly legal.

In fact, he could have refused the invitation and ask the police to go get a warrant first.
Police are not god as many people see them, there are rules they are supposed to follow.
People think police have unlimited powers because of how they treat and violate the rights of poor people.

Emeskhalifa:
Ok someone should make me understand how this thing works, he built a platform for people to use, and some chose to use it in a bad way, how is that his crime to answer to?
Why not go after the main culprits?

Because he shields the so-called culprits and refuses to release any information about them.

Free crime you mean.

descartes400:


Africa as a resource hub for US and Europe, should come up with a unified resource based economy policy targeted at these countries.They can't continue to use democracy as a subtle vehicle to underdevelope Africa through there various policies targeted at maximising our own resources to their own benefits.. but our leaders are dull and incompetent..only interested in the aura of their various offices...

Africa missing leaders like Muammar Gaddafi...May his soul continue to rest in peace.

It is not about just talking and boasting.

Can you cite any form of policy that would hurt the enemies while leaving you unaffected or better?

Even Ghadaffi your hero was totally dependent on selling Libyan oil to the enemies.

It won't have any effect on Ekweremadu's time in prison.
