Food for thought.

bros. Its not even Buhari, it was speaking the truth about the governement.

Dont mind them.

We will never go back to old ways of doing things
.

Never!

Smh... I used to be a fan of GEJ until I realised most of the arguments that are supposed to work for him and against his opponents are baseless, shallow and holds no weight.

NAIRALAND will cease to exist if Buhari becomes President.
Facebook and Twitter will be severly censored.
The man hates criticism but wants to ride on the back of criticism of the Present government to power.

That's what I told a friend who always campaign for Buhari on Facebook. If GMB eventually win (may God forbid), we're in hot soup na asu potopoto. Facebook, Twitter, Nairaland and other social media platform will be censored like Iraq. Even our online activities will be monitored

This is a democracy, you can't compare it to military rule. When obj was a military ruler you dared not insult him but when he was democratically elected everyone was free to insult him. Comedians even made many jokes about his looks

That was '84 . We're in 2014.

My dear, then there was nothing like social media.

Chai see Propaganda i can't stop laughing. Do you know the difference between Democracy and Authocracy

Certain people are saying it can't happen again that was before, what about china, Russia,turkey, Saudi Arabia if you think your freedom of information can't not be taken then you need your head examined. It can be taken and all you Internet activist would do nothing but whine and that's it.

People don't realise that such censorship begin gradually, usually under the guise of "National Security".

It would be bad for national security to portray the national govt as weak/incompetent, won't it? And that would be bad for national security, right? That's how it could begin.

Also don't forget the census sham that gives desert more population density than coastline. That has skewed National Assembly in favour of the North. Together with some money-hungry Southern politicians, a dictator can bring about laws that curb freedom of expression.

See what happened with Yerima's child molestation endorsement.

Useless propaganda! Decree 4 was about journalists publishing false news against the government or any official. We all know how irresponsible our journalists are. In fact, only 2 journalists were jailed for false publication to deceive the public, Irabor and thompson of Guardian newspaper. If you can't publish correct news, you have no business publishing! Whether Social Media or mainstream media, we are to publish to our conscience!

Amen

Brings to mind, Buhari the terrorist.

The psycho-maniac sharia voodoo economist can only tarnish my freedom of information in his imagination.

Never expect any meaningful action from an "economist" who intends to stabilize international oil market using foot soldiers

Shebi you're still getting likes by uploading nairaland selfies? Wait till your oga becomes the president (in his dreams).

it is against the ethics of journalism to poblish falsehood

...even if you bombers kill Jonathan; I will still vote for his corpse.

A dead GEJ is better than a voodoo economist who intends to stabilize international oil market using the Army as economic tool..

*Eyes rolling* what's your point?

Aksonman:
Food for thought.

I have been telling people not to vote for this al Qaeda man

Nairaland would become history if the voodoo economist wins the election. No more selfies and romance section.

The insults from people like me would be too much for him to bare. He would be forced to import ISIS & AlQaeda to threaten oppositions.

Is it right for a president to Jail journalists?

"They" will shout: "Under GEJ, you won't get arrested for talking." Well, show me who was, under Shagari, civilian OBJ or Yar'adua... Dunces everywhere. This same GEJ used the Army and Dss to harass opposition and Newspaper houses.

AcidosisMega:

Is it right for a president to Jail journalists?

was the jailing just or unjust?why would they report falsely? In a regulated profession their professional association will sanction them with suspension. There was even an existing law, why should they break it? Publish a false report against me, I can sue you for maligning my image/reputation, you will pay billions or millions or be thrown to jail. Again, publish article with conscience and ethically

A better less corrupt Nigeria by who? Buhari?

When Buhari ruled Nigeria, your dad never toast your mummy, so how do you know you will get a better Nigeria under this said coupist?

So how are you sure those jailed reported false information?

Publish a false information against "ME"? Is he a god? Aren't you ashamed posting this trash?

If GEJ determines to jail those calling him names his dad never gave him, would people like you still be alive?

sweettease:

Amen

Pretty lady with brains. Oh lawdi lawd! Love those dimples. God bless you.

These guys tend to forget military dictators rule by decrees and not the constitution. Under a democratic setting, such proposals have to get the nod of the NASS before they become laws.

That was '84 . We're in 2014.

Wat has change in the person of Buhari?
Buhari once said that FG shud stop killing Boko Haram members.
Yu and the rest of the rodents and roaches knows that in El-Rufai voice, Buhari is unelectable.
Let's jus wait and see as things unfold.

GEJ till 2019.
