Anti-social Media Law: Protesters Take Grievance To National Assembly by DONSMITH123(m): 11:17am On Dec 08, 2015 |
The anti social media protest was Tuesday morning taken to the National Assembly by protesters against the ongoing law to gag the online platform by the nation’s lawmakers. Protesters with placards reading, “Social Media Bill is anti-people” were chorusing “we no go gree o” in obvious angst, asking the lawmakers to stop further actions on the bill. They were however stopped at the first gate by heavily armed Policemen who insisted they would not be allowed to enter the National Assembly. The protester who stormed the Assembly in large numbers, were mostly dressed in black attires, with some in sealed black sellotape on their mouths. One of the protesters who identified himself as Nnamdi told DAILY POST that the Senators were obviously out to gag the press, something he likened to Decree 4 of the past Military era, stressing that they would do everything they can to resist it. A lady who was addressing the protesters whose name could not be confirmed by DAILY POST expressed disappointment on Senators of the 8th Assembly, explaining that all of them were intellectually bankrupt if they could not understand the contribution of the social media which has evolved in the 21st century. ” Attempt by the Nigeria Senators to gag social media shows they are intellectually bankrupt, especially that they could not understand the contribution of social media in the 21st century,” she said. Security agents who barricaded the entrance of the National Assembly gate urged the protesters to be peaceful.

Senator Dino Melaye, who once masqueraded himself as an anticorruption activist, is one of the leading supporters of the media censorship bill. Mr. Melaye delivered a tirade on the Senate floor last week telling fellow Senators and the media that social media could “drag democracy into crisis. now the question is? will they succeed? will PMB sign it into law? |
