Senate President, Senator David Mark, Thursday, called for a check on the menace of the social media on the Nigerian society, saying that people now use them to demean their leaders.
Mark said the need to check the social media became necessary, as they do not have the avenue for retraction of whatever they had done. (Vanguard)

Actually i was talking about this. I wanted to make a video parody on things DAME PATIENCE says, but I decided against it before I bite more than I can chew. Tell this to the sahara reporters, lol. Anyways, another shameless promotion.
Check out my channel at YOUTUBE. THE NAIJALLY SHOW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7T5wA_xnNQ&feature=plcp
This man is a fool for opening his mouth to utter such. Are we a communist society? Abi he has started smoking something. Nigerians should be allowed to express themselves as they wish as long they don't go to his face and curse him. Its a free country abeg
God punish him left yansh!
Lol @ 'Una no fit'. I guess this man is on his way home. Really, methinks this man needs to keep quiet and continue stealing money before @elrufai and co twit away his remaining career. It's just a shame that only in Nigeria do leaders feel like demi-gods that cant be corrected or have their ills pointed out when that's even all they have to offer whereas in other climes, good and effective leaders are continually ridiculed by their followers for no just cause. I'm sure he must have been quoted out of context.lol
Linda linda linda watch it ooooo, abeg how many wives dis man get ....
Them no fit my sister, what rubbish is this, what r they trying to prove. that is just a threat of corrupt leaders, cos they knw that is how they are being exposed. They should better look for a way to betterment the Nigerian economy and also leave us with this social media we r enjoying
LOL Linda. Na wa oh!
Chicken- the Bossman is afraid of someone telling him the truth to his face! Hehe.....

My Blog will soon be ready. David Mark will see more fire. Let him continue to dream. They are role model to nobody. Shame on Mark and Co. Irresponsible leaders. While you guys wait for my blog, CHECK MY WEB SITE. www.zyonglobal.com
I'm sorry...is this a democracy or what? This Jonathan administration has actually started to scare me. The older generation needs to get over itself.
See the fools! R leaders demi-gods? They. Seem to have forgotten that they should be critiqued if they mess up! David Mark is a big fool! So not only do they want to steAl all our money, they now want us to be deaf n dumb n mute! These r witches n wizards! Demons! And they must ne brought to justice! O le oshi!
Now, Please MARK, David Mark, Sir, Social Media is called Freedom of Expression which is a fundamental part of DEMOCRACY. Linda, I voted for GEJ and I am so sorry for voting because this present administration hen.....Olorun Lo ma dajo
linda tell him he is vry stupid.( operative word 'stupid') even GEJ n Obama combined wont dare it talk more of a pathetic knob and dingus like Mark. Social media has become an inseparable part of my daily activities. I cant imagine a day without Linda's blog. Linda pls deliver my message 2 him o or better still pass me his mobile number.
Social media is probably the only way of ascertaining true public opinion, especialy in a country as ours. Our politicians can influence ballot votes, senate votes, House of Assembly etc. But no one can stop me from expressing my God given right to speak my mind on Linda Ikeji's blog.
GOD BLESS NAIJA
Old fool! Y won't pple demean n haul insults @ y'all wen all u politicians do is steal n cause chaos.mtshewwwww,instead of looking 4 solution 2 BH dey r deir chasing shadows. Am so angry rytnw.
I assure you, this man must have sniffed shoe maker's glue and had 3 teaspoons of Codeine before making this statement!
Aunty Linda, I use Chineke God nke no na eligwe to beg you! Biko kwanu post my comment na!
Lyk Labaran Maku said "we thank Goodluck Jonathan for bringing facebook to Nigeria". NOW de wanT to tak it oooo. Lmao! Stevebond007 says so
this man is in insane! if he has a problem wt being criticized he shold go and borrow thick skin frm Mr crocodile. Foolish man! its only in Nigeria we hear foolish talks like ds. what happened to freedom of xpression....hiss!
And may I also say that if we are demeaning our leaders, its because the shoe fits. Mr Mark, how many demeaning comments have you seen of about Fashola, Rochas Okorocha? A true leader sees critism from his followers as a sign of his own failings. Do good and we'll praise you but steal, cheat, lie, destroy, plunder, and give your family members plum and very unncessary government jobs, and yes we will call you out.
BTW- Sir, how is your daughter's N50m a month 'Prostitutes rehabilitation program' faring?
GOD BLESS NAIJA
He's not serious. This is a democracy, and not a communist state like china. The man still thinks this is a dictatorship. Dem no fit! Instead of clamping down on corruption...na social media dem dey do....

Once an ignorant, dictatorial, deluded army officer, always an ignorant, dictatorial, deluded army officer!
This is the same bufoon who opened his trap to say moblle phones were not meant for the masses!
In this day and age where other democracies are talking about expanding and harnessing the benifits of social media as a developmental tool, and even enacting laws to foster its growth and development, this BIG FOOL is talking about restrictions and clamp downs!
I'm so ashamed of him!
He should come and clamp down make we see, ODE!
Backward fools. If you are any of the following (and more) then social media is here to stay n yeild yet more bloggers..

Only in Nigeria will a Senate President have sleepless nights over social media!
If they (government officials)have no 'skeleton in their cupboard' in the first place, they surely will have nothing to worry about.

I honestly had small respect for this fool prior!!! power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely typical case scenario....
David Mark, how dare you. David Mark, you wish you can stop us, turn back the clock, censor the media or turn Nigerian media into that of backward North Korea or repressive and corrupt regime in China. If there's any menace to be stopped, it's the hopeless, shameless and thieving Nigeria politicians. You lot are destroying the country and are the ones shaming Nigeria on a daily basis. NIGERIANS ARE FED UP OF YOU SHAMELESS AND HEARTLESS CREATURES. WE WILL OVERTHROW YOU LOT. Enough is enough. There needs to be a revolution to kick you lot out. THE ARABS THREW OUT THEIR ROTTEN AND CORRUPT LEADERS OUT OF OFFICE. Africa and especially NIGERIA WILL RISE UP AND OVERTHROW ITS THIEVING POLITICIANS. Free speech must be respected and if anyone of you morons in government in anyway, shape or form suppress or abridge the social media freedom of Nigerians, I promise you, it will spectacularly blow up in your faces. You lot, especially PDP politicians are the menace. James Ibori was jailed and by the Grace of God, each one of you will be jailed, even if means a return to military dictatorship, then so be it. David Mark, do yourself a favour, shut your mouth and permanently leave social media alone or get thrown out of office, dumbass.
Hehehe they are afraid of Nigeria's awakening.....
Because they will be held to account!
He needs to clamp his own lips first. Idiot! Una never see! This is just d IBERE!
David Mark. have you think and come out open on how to improve the standard of living in Nigeria? Do you know, there is too much hunger in the land to extent that the youth are mordgaging their future because of hunger? David Mark, do you know that you are part of Nigerian problems today?
Let unemployment be your priority. Nigerians are suffering, Shame on you David Mark
David Mark Sir,
Once the youths are attended to and what constitutes their daily needs guaranteed, jobs are provided for them when they leave school and the government plan ahead for their welfare, then one is assured that none of them would venture into crime.
David Mark, which of the above have you considerd importanat?
I mean Idleness which is responsible for our youths going into crime.Dont think of clampdown on social Media. We are in democratic system.

'By their fruits( children) we shall know them( parents)'.
@LogosfromDac
is this a communist government or what? please, he should hold it right there and stop talking like he doesnt know what freedom of speech means. Clamp down on shocial media indeed. "NEWSFLASH: The main national matters at hand should be dealt with and social media is not one of them."
If David Mark is so crooked and dishonest that his evil doings can be discovered on social media, he needs to go immediately. It is these idiotic statements that keep Nigeria in the dark ages. He needs to understand that he works for the people and not the other way around. Shameless man.
Instead of complainin y can't dey do gud tinz so dat pple will say sometin rite about dem,d man $ost b an illiterate.

Mr David Mark, please ask your children what democracy means, so you can stop embarrassing yourself.
Also, when your profession is stealing from your country, it's only fair you accept the insult that comes with it.
Think of it as the price you have to pay for being who you are. a BARAWO!
See what excess money does to an illiterate...
You think say you dey China? Karma is a b**ch oh...

It's obvious our leaders r retarded, is this wht they deliberate in fat senate with tax payers money
Please tell this waste of space in Nigerian government to go and focus on fixing Nigeria instead of looking for avenues to not do his job. Tell this person to focus on work. First of all his behind will not be able to control the social media as many of us live outside Nigeria. We can say whatever we want to say and blog away about all their thiefing asreses and they can not do a damn thing about it. Mr. wasting space in Nigeria government, I hope u read what I wrote. nonsense!

Instead of them to work on making Nigeria a better country he has the guts to open his mouth and say that.
NONSENSE!!!!
I'm sure he has seen some abuses and causes.. he should not worry.... most of us are outside the country and there is nothing people like them can do about.
Pls co face your job.. and work on fixing Nigeria and the praises will come.

This man or whatever his title does't know dat social media is not subject to FOI bill.He should realise dat we are in the era of social media village (global village).if he does't av anything better to say he should keep mute.I don't know who is the bigger fool btw him nd GEJ.well sha both has a title (President).mumu X mumu= mumu square.

Oga Senator, if your hands are clean, why should it bother you so much....sir? U de fear?
The man is mad. there is absolutely no peace for the wicked. stupid man.
He's a big foooooool!!! How can they expect us to keep quiet??? Since the 1970's £196bn has leaked out of Nigeria and we should keep quiet??? Bloody rogue! Bastard!
DAVID MARK IS AN INGLORIOUS BASTARD, YOU NEED TO CLEAN UP UR HOME AND HEALTH BEFORE RANTING RUBBISH TO THE MEDIA. GOD PUNISH U AND PDP
OMG,you re too funny.ROTF
Big fools!! They haven't even started. This is the INTERNET not NIGERIA. So pls stop dreaming fools. Other countries are trying to improve their citizens and you are trying hard to keep maintaining your foolishness. Nigerian Politicians disgust me!!
Chickens....flapping their wings like they can fly....
If they are not doing anything un ethical with their position, they got nothing to worry about regarding social media report..
Dear God, what's happening to this country? Everything is just in a terrible state, bribery and corruption, killing, prostitution, money ritual, and now we can't even talk about it? This is outrageous. Mr David Mark, I hope and sincerely pray that you and your colleagues will suffer for putting Nigerian through this misery. You all shall see the wrath of God soon; and I mean very soon. Goldelina
very silly man! don't go and solve the more pressing issues like security! starvation! joblessness! corruption! terrorism! poor representation of women in politics! peace of mind! be worrying about nonsensical issues like frigging social media!!! a pox on all these worthless leaders!! pure rubbish!!!
idiots. because people are exposing them.
Was it not the same person who said telephone is not for poor people which he later denied.
I am sure one day in the future he will surely deny this recent stupid statement. How did this individual get to be the senate president? No wonder nothing works in Nigeria.
Now we Know the enemies. They have made no tangible impact in the lives of young people except looting the treasury. Road are bad, they dont care, People die because of their failures to do the right, it does not bug them, they sit in the hallowed chambers sharing loots from the pains of the people. the only means of airing our opinion. they want it shut. Habbah Jammah!
Men of many parts, You would expect some of these men to keep quiet since they had a terrible yesterday on the minds of the People, especially the poor who have been at the receiving end of many unfavorable policies in a country where leadership problem is like a curse, for those who remembered that "ordinary" Major in the Army, who headed a committee that dispossessed the people of their hard earned properties, branding them "abandoned properties" in their own country. The same man was notable as Minister of Communications and decreed that "telephone is not for the poor". Now, if, he is saddened and pained that the same people he denied the use of telephone can now communicate via social media. Do we still need these men to lord it over us? One big question for the Election of 2015 if it ever comes, Hoping it does faster
If leaders behave well, there will be no need to fear social media. Without amnesia, it was not in history gone by, a President used facebook to woo his People even claiming that he introduced Facebook, he later became wearied and complained about the barrage of criticism and consequently opted out. The Twitter, Facebook and all has become a Powerful tool and I heard according to Vanguard that the SENATE President, Senator David Mark, Yesterday, called for a check on the menace of the social media on the Nigerian society, saying that people now use them to demean their leaders. Whao! You mean Like Farouk Lawan? Or …..
Mark said the need to check the social media became necessary, as they do not have the avenue for retraction of whatever they had done. I hope the Party is not afraid of her eventual fall?
Senator Mark, spoke in Umuahia, Abia State, The Senate President cited as examples varied figures usually quoted by various media in times of tragedies, saying that the figures were always inconsistent.
Describing the media as one of the stabilizing factors in the scheme of things, Mark cautioned that “we need to change our attitude on how we report things about our country, and we should emulate the foreign reporters, who never report negative things about their countries.” Seriously? even world leaders like obama,Berlusconi and co. Get lambasted and lampooned on the social media's
Recently the light of social media has been beamed on men called Rouges in Senate, and business men, who control the economy and scatter it, control the resources and embezzle it and now I guess they want to control the voices so then can silence it. May God Save Nigeria from the Back-bench with such men
http://www.akinbami.blogspot.com/2012/07/facebook-twitter-blogs-nairaland-may-be.html
Thank God for the freedom of expression we enjoy today via social media. However, it is necessary to mention that some nigerians that are rejoicing that places like Lagos are now being developed to int'l standard are the same ones littering the environment. How do we support leaders who are clearly building our nation? How many who voice out via social media are doing something to build a better Nigeria? It seems the social medium is just a tool to insult and berate some leader rather than to stimulate other users of social media in nation building.
FunnY Labara Maku, nincompoop David Mark.
Ow caN Maku saY GEJ brought FB to 9ja. No wonder his colleagues think de ve d ryt and power 2 take it away!
Nija beautiful place anything goes....
He has forgotten he has left the army.....once zombie always zombie
Linda, they won spoil business for you
Fat Cow! If you don't want to be talked about, then do what you are supposed to do. Stop cleaning out the treasury and lining ur already full pockets then claiming we are broke.
You want to become a communist, police state like China yeah? GTFOOHWTBS! Rubbish! *angry face*. Social media is perhaps the only medium where we (especially the youth) can express ourselves freely.
Was it not the same David Mark that made the landmark statement a long time ago that "telephone is not for the poor", when he was Minister of Communication? His recent statement goes to show that a chameleon can never change its spots. Unfortunately for him we are now in a liberalizing world where he can do nothing about what he has threatened to do. It also shows he is not intelligent- saying something he knows he can do pretty nothing about. Even the President of the United States can do nothing about the raging revolutionary effects of the new media that is now pervading the world. But Nigerians must watch - this anti-democrat, non-performing president of the Nigerian senate who goes by the name David Mark,who is inherently corrupt and pedestral may be working hard to become the next president of Nigeria. Nigerians must know this and they should begin to work with the same social media tools he is berating from this day to stop him. He will take us to the military days if we are not vigilant enough to prevent buffons like him from perpetuating themselves in power. Chikena!
What an absolute idiot. But not surprising coming from the same man who said gsm - mobile communications - is not for everyone, basically only the elite and the rich need mobile phones. If it were up to this man, we would still be in the stone ages in Nigeria. Shebi you want to become President Mr Mark, we are waiting for you. Anuofia!
Real joker! Thunder fire him blokos.
Mr Senate President. If u and the entire government at federal and state level do the right thing to make this country a better place, all u will see on social media are praises for the govt. So! get ur acts together.
when Chika Ike is rubbing the fool's big belle and he is opening fancy nancy with stolen funds, why wont he talk rubbish?
Linda we the social media activists are writing a strongly worded response to the malfunctioning malfeasance that parades himself as the senate president. The latterm will be published on Monday on the various networks. I promise you an advance copy. At least half an hour ahead.
Where was he when the FOI bill was passed into law?
Thats total rubbish mehn. Ngwa nu, make them come clamp down my BB na

They are worth demeaning.
@July 28, 2012 9:28 AM- well, the senator is right- Phone is not for poor people- afterall, surely poor people have more problems than worrying about phones!!! Even my teacher wanted a telephone in those days and our headmistress told him to get his priorities right as he was not earning enough money then!!!!!
who do you blame for his stupid utterances and useless meaningless talk other than Nigerians that voted him in
david mark has out lived his usefulness in the senate this was the same man that opened his gutter mouth in 1986 to say that telephone was not meant for all Nigerians but for few privileged ones.
today every one has got a phone even avid marks gate man shame to him.
imagine the height of clueless people we ve in govt...how can a senate presido of a country utter such? i am dissappointed ....abi its cos all ur attrocities r getting heard by everyone especially ur waste of national money on actress Chika Ike.....abegi make we hear word sir.
well, i dont blame him, if he can be so irrational and stupid enough to say that watching football matches can curb the menace of boko haram, then what less do we expect? If dem born your papa well ehn? infact i trust you! BIG FOOL!!!!!!!!
Aunty linda if u like dont post my comment o
bloglord is more than correct....dont mind him o...na Chika Ike, dat actress dey giv am dis kin advice or na who....shameless old man.
hahahahahahahahaha.....I have been laughing my head off here with the various comments. On this singular post, Nigerians are on the same page
iam not surprised at all that this rubbish is coming from him.The IDIOT once said that Telephone is meant for the Rich.He never knew life would be like this.Mark or what ever u call urself,u ve not seen anything yet.
HE DOESNT WANT TO BE XPOSED WITH HIS SORDID TALES OF AFFAIRS WITH WOMEN....IS THIS A COMMUNIST COUNTRY??? USELESS MAN WITH NO SCRUPLES...

Na wa o! See as una lash, spray and wash this David Mark like 5year old.
Anyway sha. I am sure his attention has been called to this blogpost.
Fellow commenters, the lashing is too much. You can make your points without calling him: 'Fat Cow', 'high on cheap drugs', sending curses to his 'left yansh, 'Chicken' at gbo gbo e. In anycase, I also appreciate the anger. Nigeria is just not working. '74.

PS. post my comment or else....
our so called senate president is advocating for a clamp down on social media forgetting that even the president was campaigned for and elected on this platform so much so that the international community once dubbed him THE FACEBOOK PRESIDENT. I marvel at the audacity of these politicians ( the president included) they think we are just sheep following them forgetting that we elected them to represent US. I say we should serve a warning to these men, it is within our constitutional right to recall these men representing our constituency and we'll do just that if they continue to focus on frivolous issues instead of doing what they promised before god and man to do ( serve the people towards improving their standard of living in general). the senate president david mark should know that its only when the fowl farts that it start running saying the ground is chasing it. what has he done now that he is afraid of the social media. i say that if he is doing the good work we expect from him he need not go on the offensive against the nigerian people's right to communicate amongst themselves. i think we should really look into his actvities now to find out what he does not want us to find and if its deserving, recall him as a deterrent to other politician. they should sit up, do their jobs and stop trying to cover pull the wool over our eyes.
WHAT KIND OF RUBBISH IS HE TALKING? I THANK GOD FOR SOCIAL MEDIA ALL THEIR SECRET IS OUT IN THE AIR STUPID MAN!!! DO I BLAME HIM I ONLY BLAME THE PEOPLE THAT ALLLOW SUCH A FOOL TO BE THEIR LEADER
BUT DIDNT REUBEN ABATI JOIN TWITTER TO TRY TO LAUNDER THE IMAGE OF HIS BOSS OR IS THAT NOT A TYPE OF SOCIAL MEDIA?AND IF IT WAS GOOD FOR MR PRESIDENT TO USE FACEBOOK AS A CAMPAIGN TOOL JUST LAST YEAR,WHY IS IT NOT OKAY NOW FOR US TO LET MR PRESIDO KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT FEELING HIM AND HIS TEAM.HIS MINISTER FOR FINANCE MRS IWEALA ALSO USED THE TWITTER HANDLE TO RESPOND TO CRITICISMS DURING THE SUBSIDY BUHAHA.SO WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM US EXACTLY???WE SHOULD GET ON THE PLATFORMS AND LIE LIKE THEY DO?YES LIKE ALL THINGS IN LIFE,IT HAS ITS SIDE EFFECTS BUT WE CANT CLOSE OF OUR EYES TO THE POSITIVES.CHILDREN,WOMEN,MEN KIDNAPPED HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH THE FAST AND FAR REACHING EFFECTS OF THESE PLATFORMS.DAVID MARK,PLEASE LEGISLATE AND STOP WASTING OUR MONEY WONDERING WHO HAS TAKEN A PIC OF YOU HAVING FOUR-SOMES INSTEAD OF WORKING ON A WEEK DAY.
This man is brainless,and evil,he is not funny at all.How could he even say a thing like this.
God, please give us back Fela and take David Mark.

Linda babe this nah my take on david mark announcement….
So david mark wants us to siddon dey look abi okay lets us go:
In the face of faruk accepting bribe make wey siddon dey look
In the face of jonathan not been able to do anything to reduce corruption make wey siddon dey look
In the face of EFFC not been able to successfully prosecute those who bleed the nigerian nation dry make wey siddon dey look
In the face of boko horam killing innocent citizens make wey siddon dey look
In the face of no electricity make wey siddon dey look
In the face of no roads make wey siddon dey look
In the face of no health care make wey siddon dey look
In the face of no education make wey siddon dey look
Well make mark himself siddon dey look as nigerians would soon vent their anger on him asin this is the 21 century and if the social media is what would make these so called people sit up then naijas go trash dem wella…
Na who go dey read Linda blog? Pls clamp down on fellow senators and Reps first nd Boko Haram 2.
Who is david mark?rather who does he think he is any way,u deserve a slap with an aroma.
linda is just protecting her cash source, no one fights a government in any country, in China and Middle east, social media censorship is law, in US and Europe it is controlled.
hahahhahaaaa i laugh out loud!!!
