It has come to the conclusion that
most Nigerian politicians are criminals and full of stupid idiots….. who the
hell are these people? So social media insults are the main problems Nigerian
politicians now? I am disappointed in this country
Here's the bill the Senate/Nigerian
government wants to use to jail social media users. It's “A Bill for an Act to prohibit
frivolous Petitions and other Matters Connected therewith, Sponsored by Senator
Ibn Na’Allah, APC, Kebbi South.
“Where any person in order to
circumvent this law makes any allegation and or publish any statement, petition
in any paper, radio, or any medium of whatever description, with malicious
intent to discredit or set the public against any person or group of persons,
institutions of government, he shall be guilty of an offence and upon
conviction, shall be liable to an imprisonment term of two years or a fine of
N4,000,000.00” the bill specified. On the social media, the bill read:
“Where any person through text
message ,tweets, whatsApp or through any social media post any abusive
statement knowing same to be false with intent to set the public against any
person and group of persons, an institution of government or such other bodies
established by law shall be guilty of an offence and upon conviction, shall be
liable to an imprisonment for two years or a fine of N2,000,000.00 or both fine
and imprisonment.”
The bill said it shall be an offence
for any petition to be submitted without a sworn affidavit from the law court.
