Much respect to the amiable Prof and Nigeria's sole Nobel laureate. We haven't legislated a death penalty for corrupt public holders or even kidnappers, yet we want to kill those who misyarn online? Like the prof said, there's something mischievous about this bill. 5 Likes |

Sir, when you try to pass a message, it defeats the purpose when you make it compulsory for one to have a dictionary in one hand and your message in another. Keep it simple and legible. Lest, the energy required to read it alone might discourage the recipient from reading it. Thanks. 4 Likes |

If you want to listen, now listen carefully, the government of the day has no plan to make the country bearable for anybody. They are looking for whom to enslave. You should pray and work so that u won't get enslaved. |

Now they will be alive to their responsibility..or else the world will start placing embargo on their visa Application and Nigerians can ponce on them..Men elected to speak for their people but went to the chamber to misrepresent their interest..I never thought of it that it is a way of killing the voice of opposition and turn the masses to Mumu. 2 Likes |

I simply cannot imagine how one stupid Senator would wake up one day and propose a bill like this. Just like they do up there in the north, catch a small offender and cut his limbs in the name of sharia while they go ahead and praise the bigger offender for similar offenses. Nigeria is no extension of ur caliphate. Keep such barbaric laws up there in the north. How about Nigerians utilize this opportunity to push for death penalty for corrupt politicians instead ? But guess what.. Ass lickers and those who barely benefit no more than 30k monthly stipends (as members of the BMO, along with the simply uninformed Sai Baba chanters)would come for ur head instead. Truth is.. the people we elect to represent us are actually the true representation of who we are as a people. They portray the average mentality of most Nigerians. Deal with it with my people.. I don port oh! 10 Likes |

obviously the death penalty is a step too far. but there must be a deterrent. Wole has not made any suggestions as to what the punishment should be. he has acknowledged by himself that fake news and hate speech are a very big problem, as several fake articles have been made in his own name . |

The intelligence of Dr Bukola Saraki. The same bill was pronounced to be DEAD ON ARRIVAL by formal Senate President. The above statement may even be seen as Hate speech. But the question is this Who determine Hate speech? 2 Likes |

Whoever that is championing this ideology of death for their perceived hate speech will never know peace. Tragic death shall come upon him and his family for supporting a wicked and tyrannic idea aimed at silencing every opposition. So that when you speak against the ills of this government which includes boko haram insurgency or fulani herdsmen's killings, it's tagged as hate speech and it's followed with a death sentence for condemning what is not right. Stakeholders whose voices are heard, irrespective of our differences should resist this devilish hate speech bill because it's undemocratic. 5 Likes |

This must be a case of senility overstretching word juggling. Can one be said to be intelligent and yet lack discernment this much, or is confusion an ethnic thing? I ask because of the pains and plights of Osibanjo, Obasanjo, Momudu, Akeredolu, Meleye and the definite yet undiscerned 2023 political Tsunami designed for Tiifnubu. Why cry when the head is of, or is it just a continuation of obscurantist expressionism. I am sorry for all of you undiscerning elders that sold our future by dislodging Goodluck in an attempt to be half-clever. For choosing a proven dictator and hoping to turn him to a democrat, you all gaffed, sorry for the benumbing pains that are loading. 1 Like |

I want to ask every one, if a hate speech is peddled against any member of the society or a group within a society such that it causes death(s) , what should be the appropriate penalty for the purveyor(s) of the hate speech considering the volatile nature of our society and giving the multi-ethnicity. I want to believe that's the area the bill wants to address. |
