Osinbajo Says Social Media Regulation Isn't The Best Option by valentineuwakwe(m): 7:12am On Oct 25, 2019 |
Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo has cautioned Nigerians against the abuse of social media, noting that it can precipitate war and violent conflict if used to misinform. He specifically warned against using social media platforms to promote religious disinformation , which he said could easily lead to a breakdown of law and order. Osinbajo, who stated this in Abuja on Thursday during an inter -faith tolerance dialogue organised by the United Arab Emirates , explained that he did not subscribe to regulation of the social media by the government . He called on religious leaders to go beyond talking about tolerance to making sacrifices that were required . Osinbajo said , “ As religious leaders and media personalities, also as people of faith in general, we share a common calling to apprehend the truth . We absolutely need to be careful in our use of social media and if we do not want to promote the kind of conflict that can go completely out of hand , we must be sure that we are policing and regulating ourselves, especially, with social media. “ I don’ t think that government regulation is necessarily the way to go, but I believe that we as persons of faith and we , as leaders, and those of us who use the social media actively owe a responsibility to our society and to everyone else , to ensure that we don ’ t allow it to become an instrument of conflict and instrument of war . ” The UAE Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr Fahad Al Taffaq, described his country as the global capital of tolerance, noting that the government had declared 2019 as the year of tolerance. He said Nigerian churches were also springing up in his country, adding that the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly opened a branch in Dubai in 2017. source: https://punchng.com/social-media-regulation-not-best-option-osinbajo/ 4 Likes

Social media regulation is not even an option... It is barbaric, and defeats the purpose of right of speech. We should only plead with ourselves to say constructive things always. The government have been unfairly attacked also Buhari died and was replaced, he has wedding, he went into vegetative state, etc for wetin? 17 Likes 1 Share |

Osinban Osinban, the amiable Yoruba Christian we cherish, except that you joined the corrupt Muslim Jihadist party, the Lord will help you overcome their numerous sins and temptations hanging all around you, it is well with you, our prayers are with you. We will rather vote you than vote for that ex convict former drug lord cum over corrupt, greedy political thug of the Southwest, we will humble him, he will only dream like Awolowo and Abiola but will never smell it until him and his likes develop sense and stop attacking and hating blessed people ![]() Maybe after 30 years he has died, we will organize a ceremony to honor him as the GCFR of Yoruba thugs and Agberos, he deserves it because he worked hard for it after all ![]() 5 Likes |

I wished Osinbajo can be given a slap that will reset his head. Which abuse of social media? If not for the abuse of social media by people like JJ and others abusing it during GEJ's time, would buhari have become president? He has forgotten so soon how they ascended to power.
