A scapegoat has to be made for the falsehood being peddled on Social media- Senators

Instead of these people to concentrate on more important matters that will move Nigeria forward, they are spending hours talking about what people are tweeting. See more tweets after the cut...

They are public servants with public images , they should learn to manage thier public image or hire people to do that for them . This should not be an issue .

Unknown said...

But wait oooo there is a lil meaning in what they'r saying abt dis media stuff.....someone can use it to tarnish other ppls image,I think they shld try adjust the bill in a proper way.for eg that rape issue of sugargirl and audu's family.Media is the fastest means to pass info and wrong info can seriously damage a person beyond major like some of naija celebs suffer today.

Its only Senator Dino that made sense to me, Senate president tried, but others are just blabbing.

Unknown said...

These people are idiots. Nigerians should come out and fight this tooth and nail. Next thing they will send us to jail for breathing without their permission. This is a threat to democracy and everything Nigeria represents. When they should be passing laws against corrupt politicians they r looking for ways to defend them.

Oh so lies are peddled around....hmmm...the same social media that the Apc rode on to stardom...with both lies and propaganda...very sorry to say...if the social media is to be regulated,then there is no freedom of speech again...and then they'll know that the Nigerian youths are one on this matter...Nonesense old men...because you all have skeletons in your cupboard.. Gej truly was a democrat...He was abused for years but he did not review anything..now the dictators are here...

I think the major reason people peddle lies is b/c information are kept away from the public domain and as such people resort to speculations. we should work on our information dissemination. A case in point is when an online news platform said a certain governor is worth a certain amount of Naira but the governor denied and threatened to sue them to court but the platform said the governor then tell everyone his worth if what they have said is incorrect.

This is total rubbish with all the problem in Nigeria is this what senators are suppose to be discussing about Nigerians is this the change u people voted for? Senators of Nigeria pls concentrate on why d people voted for u people is not to stop freedom of speech, am sure u guys are raising this social media bill because u all have something to hide is such a shame APC

lovely said...

The same social media APC used againt Jonathan and his regime now they are running from it because they all knew what they did now is their turn they dnt want the world to know how they are ruling total rubbish pls freedom of speech we are not in military regime

Gloria said...

This is a major move to help curb the excesses of that useless Sahara reporters that tifnubu has been using to attack all his political enemies e.g. The senate president Bukola Saraki. He wouldn't allow the poor man to work and appropriate all other very meaningful bills together with his colleagues at the senate that can help Nigeria move forward during this regime. Therefore, this bill has become a necessity, so that that useless yeye Sahara rubbish can finally be nipped in the bud and allow the senate president to rest and drink water and drop cup down.

I wonder what Nigerians should do about years of falsehood and stealing the government has subjected us to. We need a scapegoat too!!

Mr 47 said...

I thought u were Saraki's fan?? So now that his policy is about to affect you, u suddenly go against him. Well still on my stand, with the rumors and lies going on social media and lack of bloggers not verifying news should be check. U can't just go online and ruin peoples lives by spreading lies. Pretty sure some of our celebrity will be happy. Not a fan of celebrity or politian but freedom of Speech shouldn't be abuse.

We have Right to Freedom of Speech. How do they expect Ordinary Nigerians to express their mind when the only way to do so is by Social Media, we need to send this Senators back where they belong...#NoToSocialMediaBill

MY GAWD! They're seriously considering this bill. Lawmakers in far more democratic climes get worse treatment on social media but a bill like this won't cross their minds cos it will be tantamount to career suicide. Guys, these fat cats really think we count for nothing, there should be a limit to their reckless impunity, it is duty of EVERY Nigerian youth who values the fundamental benefits of a free society to ENFORCE that limit.

I get your point but that is no excuse to gag free speech, you can always sue for libel or defamation of character.

Nigeria has the most useless leaders in the world! We have bad roads, poor health systems, decaying education system and structure, poor criminal Justice system etc and all they cee is trying to block the social media because of its expositions on their corrupt activities amid taking billions for doing almost nothing! History will always remember them for the wrong reasons. Evil men!

Unknown said...

Oga/Madam of Senate, pls you cannot say because you have a personal beef with a particular media outlet, you want to sanction the whole Nigerians for. pls oo that is not why my salary is reduced so as to pay for tax. your gathering should improve the country and not fight your personal beef. mind you in every rumour there is always an atom of truth.

Very soon dey will tell us that we don't hv freedom of speech,nw dat dey see dat d population of d country dat as 60% of youth,most of Dem are knowing there right 4 rm left and are using d social media to set d record straight with dis politicians, nw d same social media dat help during d campaign of APC in d federal level and every level of govt is nw an enemy,dis is becoming a military rule to me ohhh.

This same Senators criticizing Social Media now, wanted to go for a Training on Social Media Early last month.
This Same Senators now in power used Social Media to oust the out gone regime.
If there is no skeleton in their cupboard, let them leave the Social Media Alone.
Early last month Minister of Information met with Bloggers.
It seems as if the APC govt has an hidden agenda.

Kc said...

I support the bill intoto if it's purpose is to curb the indiscriminate use of media by media moguls and citizens to say whatever the rubbish they deem fit. Here and there people always say one thing and the other to tarnish the image of people or body. Freedom of speech is back up by the constitution yes!! Bt no one is allowed to use it anyhow they want because no right is untouchable not even right to life, people should know that where one's right stops another begins.
