You made the most sense
The west have always stood on the fence, from time immemorial, same reason they are always referred to as saboteurs, pawns in the game called Nigeria

Bro, there is a clear difference between using abusive words and making hate speeches. To start with, abusive words aren't criminalised anywhere in the world, but hate speeches are.

1. Mr A is a kunu sipping idiotic dullardic bastard
2. Mr A is just a stinking pig, if he crosses my domain, I will strangle him to death.

Number 1 above is just an abusive statement. Yes it will hurt, but no law (except maybe religious doctrines) will punish or caution you for that. But when you cross into Number 2, you have simply crossed the line of the law.

Baba, let's not mix things up,
Firstly we are talking about hate speeches in reference to Nigerian constitution

Secondly, we are talking about hateful words, not threats, or violent declarations

Your 2nd example is a threat nd not just a hate speech

There is a difference between a hate speech and a threat
Threat is criminal, while hate speech is NOT always criminal INDICATING.

I can say "I strongly hate all indigènes of Edo state, the are useless people who don't deserve anything good in life"
This is a Hate speech in all standards, though some Edo people may not regard it as such, this is what I explained to Mynd44, in reference to subjective and objectiveness of statements.
The above statement is Not criminally indicting according to Nigeria constitution..

Now if I say "I will kill all indigènes of Edo state, once I get the opportunity"

Oga this is a threat not just a hate speech, and I should be arrested and questioned immediately by Security agencies.
According to Nigeria constitution..

Even though, some indigènes of Edo state may still regard this statement as a joke or just a troll.

All I'm saying is that there is no difference between abusive/insultive words and hate speeches

But there is a difference between a hate speech and a Threat
And most especially, human beings react differently to statements, as I have earlier explained.

Once you add an atom of violent/brutal words in your statements, it's no more just a hate speech or abusive statement, it's now a THREAT, know the difference.

Timaya is a bastard and I hate him so much, is different from I will go to Bayelsa and burn Timaya's house , because I hate him so much....
And as I said about statement generally being objective and subjective, Timaya himself may regard this 2 statements as a JOKE!!

buffalowings:


Except Boko Haram hasn't been defeated.
I will say there is a pattern to their attacks
See how they stepped it up when osinbajo was AP
Meanwhile there was a drastic reduction when Buhari was hail and hearty

I think the political machinery in the north are somehow responsible for this scourge
If someone who is not their own is in power, all hell is broken loose.

What exactly makes him unworthy of being a moderator?... His simple explanation of hate speech?

You know the difference between just speaking hate against the president and speaking things that will disintegrate the country? The kind of insults Buhari has taken before and since he became president is not different from that of Jonathan, it can even be more... But hates that leads to war and disintegrates the nation to anarchy must be checked. You can call Buhari any name, but when you treathen the sovereignty of the nation like calling Nigeria a zoo or insite violence against Nigerians or any tribe, you deserve to be locked up for life and the key thrown away.

IM NOT IGBO
Does that not make you feel a wee bit silly now,,once a person does not support your ideology you result to tribal bigotry,population do not amount to prosperity ie India
Just cos people travel to your town and cities for one Biz or the other does not amount to development ie China.
The igbos I suppose are Business People and that involve moving of people,goods and service from A to B,even as destroyed as Iraq looks, there are people still doing Biz there.
Still your argument has brought nothing to the table rather that of a Ranting KID, when will the likes of you in the west realize there are more than hausa and Igbo and Yoruba in Nigeria do we need to mine yah skull to implant that knowledge or you are just politely DUMB~?

nero2face:
its easier for a camel to walk trough de eye of a niddle than for a Buhari supporter to accept that His master is a failure, if really GEJ was bad as u all claim and still we fared very much better during his time, then please let ur master take us back to that very situation he took us from... Blind fanatics

captleonerd:
people like you are the real reason Nigeria is backward. Jonathan was bad we voted a buhari and as a reasonable Nigerian I know buhari is clueless too. We want someone else in 2019. That's the summary of my post. Get some education

Blonchilli:

You're correct. Good thing you didn't call me zombie sha, Lol. The thing is all these things are political. A southerner was in power Boko Haram rose, a northerner is in power the east rose. Let's look at history, there has never been any insurgency that the government or opposition didn't create for its selfish need or to fill their pockets. Al Qaeda was created by Bush to fight the Russians in Iraq, 30 years later it's a torn in America's flesh. However we can't deny the fact that GEJ did little or nothing to tackle this problem. Yes in politics you consider your interest, but one elected to lead a nation has to act as one. And unfortunately we're lacking that in our past and present leaders

me n u who needs education.u voted for buhari why are you crying that u want another blind nigga like buhari .u vote for buhari not bcus he can perform better but out of sentiment let me tell you there is a big different bwt baba n gej

LorDBolton:
That anyone still supports or praises Jonathan surprises me...

Buhari might be failing right now, but isn't it really stupid to support that dull statement?

Is it until HATE speeches (which r now the norm even here on NL) really become uncontrollable n spills into the streets via massacres n chaos that we will realise the need to tackle it?

My question is WHY didn't Jona tackle the so called "hate" speech? Why did it allow it fester? That I'm doing something wrong n benefiting from it doesn't mean tomorrow I should allow it thrive ...even if it's turned around to disturb me??

I'm 100% behind APC on this one , people with flat chest n zero bravery will come online to spew hateful words like if it starts they won't besiege the borders begging to be let through .

Jonathan supporters are as dull in reasoning as the Israelites who longed to return to slavery when they encountered a little hardship on their journey to freedom ... Just ask yourself would Israel even exist if their faction won?

Think forward!

ELKHALIFAISIS:
Hausa Fulanis in Sabo went on the rampage killing many sons and daughters of Ile-Ife their host community and in the process they proceeded to behead a young Yoruba man and they paraded his head on a pole through the streets... U guys can't even look oppressors in the eye and asked them why
Lately, Yorubas are being terrorized from all angles by the Hausas and Fulanis. The Fulani herdsmen are killing Yorubas like flies. Even the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo was not spared of the incursion of the Fulanis. He's being harassed, intimidated, insulted, humiliated, taunted, and turned into a ping pong ball by Aso Rock Hausa and Fulani cabals led by Bukola Saraki. It's in the best interest of Yorubas to start working on ways and means to disengage from Nigeria.

bros, people travel to richer places to do business. how many people in nigeria do you see travelling to nnewi or abakaliki to conduct business ? the sophistication and wisdom of afonja has created an environment conducive for world class business interactions. afonja people are gods in nigeria. now bow down to your masters boy. next time you see an afonja man i expect you to bow down and kiss his feet and tell him, oh ye master afonja i thank your tribe for making nigeria a great place to be

Mynd44:

1. This is false; again, learn to differentiate between hate speech and insults

2. So because there were far more means no one should do something about it?
