The Federal Government has made known its intention to regulate the social media.

This was made known by Lai Mohammed, Information Minister.

Mr Mohammed at a press conference said the government would not fold its arms and watch while activities on social media set the country ablaze.

“It has reached a level that the government may just no longer fold its arms and allow this to continue,” the minister who has severally denied reports that the present administration intends to gag the media said.

Social media has been one of the channels where purveyors of fake news circulate false information to mislead the public.

The decision to regulate the social media comes weeks after the government increased fines for hate speech, an action that has been described as a move to silent critics of the administration.

They should be happy for social media, because that's the only thing distracting Nigerians from their bad government.

Chisos, why are you afraid of social media regulations? If you are cultured with your words, you shouldn't be afraid.

Are you an antagonist to Buhari's government or what exactly?

Young / old man, get real life ooo, I mean real one

That is their primary assignment and if they don't achieve it, that is when they will consider themselves failures..... misplaced priority .....smh

Nigeria it is finished

Though fining platforms will go a long way.

No you get a life, since you think through your anus, Goodluck Jonathan did not regulate social media when you Apc apologist and Buhari were spewing all manner of trash cos y'all want to be in power, now Apc is in power but they hate what they once loved cos their own fvck up is to high heavens, rubbish nonsense disgusting entities.

Let's Laugh in Swahili!!

Waiting for when this government would be decisive about work. Social media is now the most pressing concern of government.

Misplaced priority

We don dey wait for this news long time ago, let's go the China way... Na them go taya, no be naija again?

Lol. Good move. Since all the numerous issues of insecurity, poverty, virtually no healthcare and the hundreds of other more pertinent issues have been tackled and solved by the same FG. God bless them all.

Mumu levels. Una no get work.

Oga, e no fit work joor! Lau lai Mohammed.

if I hear

This old punk! He was busy opening his mouth anyhow anyhow when GEJ was on seat now he want to silence other people!

Well sowore is reaping from what he sowed now.
I stand for anything that will bring sense to Nigerians. This one sef small. North Korea testament is what every single Nigerian deserve and I trust the pilots, they’re getting it right Period

When you are incompetent and can't handle criticism.

Stay off nairaland

When will they know that other countries don't pay NGN52 for card maintenance and implement that in Nigeria?

Anywhere anything them want do, they can do it since WE as citizens have resorted into lashing out on their decisions on Social Media instead of embarking on protest. See Chile, Lebanon and HK all protesting till the govt. meets their demands.

We, the added 2% and 3% stamp duties, then observed to see if they will be a reaction, of which they was but only on Social Media. Like that wasn't enough they introduced POS transaction duties, we still no talk for streets na Twitter.

WE need to remember that social media only creates popularity, going to the street, embarking on a nationwide protest along with the social media trends gets the attention of international organizations, bodies and news to see the yansh of your government, something they all hate.

All these happening within months after 2nd term elections, we still have 3 full years to go and I sincerely pray they don't make living in Nigeria "hell" for us.

DONT QUOTE ME IF YOU WANT TO TALK NONSENSE.

Social media leaving nigeria doesn't change anything.

Wonder how old men became so dumb �

Funny.
