nded to remove death penalty as the maximum punishment for offenders.
He insisted that hate speech had led to the death of many people and argued that the concept remained a major factor behind depression and suicide in Nigeria. Citing a World Health Organisation report, Abdullahi disclosed that Nigeria which is the seventh-largest country in the world, “has Africa’s highest rate of depression and ranks fifth in the world frequency of suicide.”The Senator, who is representing Niger North Senatorial District, explained that the Independent National Commission for the Prohibition of Hate Speech to be established would guard against every act of discrimination against Nigerians by way of victimisation.
No! let them continue. Set of biased leaders. Look at the prize of Data in Nigeria, killings everywhere and what they found worthy of discussing is HateSpeechBill. They have failed the gods of their land.
Canada France and Australia work permit visa with accommodation is now available, interested persons should please contact Mr Lawrence Onyeama for more information on: +18652193238.
The Bill should be scrapped completely.
Death penalty for hate speech. Talk is free & cheap yet someone chose to kill for speech. So, What has he recommended for 1, Corruption 2, Misappropriation of public funds 3, Lack of accountability for constituent projects 4, Crimes of zero public services
Moron na him this Senator be. Naija is in trouble
We don't even want the bill. People should be free to say what they want to say..if they lie against you or slander your identity, then sue them, there are existing laws against slander, libel etc. We don't have to be a nation of fools lead by fools.
realvictorad Blood thirsty hounds they are.Not supposed to be near governance.
Senator eleriibu...... if you look well at his constituency, they’d be poverty stricken
......homes, shameless representatives.
.....housing and education programmes to improve our condition, the wrath of Hate Speech will start from your respective.....
But they cannot sponsor better welfare package for the youths and workers in Nigeria, they can't legislate for better.....
.....as entrenched by the constitution of federal republic of Nigeria (section 39).
....person sponsored such draconian and punitive bill, knowing fully well that it contravene right to freedom of expression...
The sponsor is an animal in human skin Selfish and Subhuman
The people will win ultimately
EDOHODANIEL1 Total withdrawal and replace it with death penalty for corrupt politicians.
Better. Cancel the bill sef
Stupid dude
He is a foolish man. A mumu man!
Incorrect caption. Should read 'Apc bows to pressure, removes death penalty'.
Next time make bill that will give each Nigerian N50k per month for life, our crude oil money. Whether you work or not, you get the money. Owo Omo.
We don't want it all...isaynotohatespeechbill
They should leave it. Their families will be the first the bill will hammer. Shei they are Nigerians too?
The whole damn thing should be withdrawn.
Throw d damn bill in the trash where it came from NOTOSOCIALMEDIABILL
It's a northern bill. They want the masses cowed so they can loot and destroy the country without any opposition.
That bill should be thrown away entirely. Bill wey una copy word to word from Singapore 😂 That alone is a major hate speech. Singapore supposed hang you for plagiarism. Rubbish!
'He said such contributions would go a long way towards giving Nigerians the MUCH AWAITED law to address...' Awaited? Who dey await the law?
But why would you kill someone because of hate speech? Is it that the government is confused ?
That bill should be scraped and the sponsor banished for attempting denial of Citizens Right of expression and attempting ridiculing of Nigeria democracy.
What is hate speech self ? Death penalty Is it the new rule in football Coz I see penalty
I don't even see any reason why they are deliberating on the bill in the first place... Useless lawmakers
Why keep it he who did a hole shall surely fall into it. Table will turn
Good move. The bill is welcome idea they should just remove death penalty
Nigerians do not even need any part of that bill.
Lol..
Comedian 🤣🤣🤣
The bill should just be given death penalty.
We demand immediate withdrawal of the bill
Not enough sir....withdrawal of the bill entirely is the ONLY option
They're mad, did we ask them for this rubbish before? Useless fools they won't face what the country needs but want to silence us. Ingrates, good for nothing cretins.
At last
I follow back
Please that man should be impeached and removed and he should face some law suites
It shouldn't stop there. Drop it in its entirety, apologize to Nigerians, resign for your incompetence, intellectual laziness and for causing us unnecessary stress.
Expunging a part of the bill isn't acceptable, we demand a total recall of that Bill. You can't kill people for airing their views but political thieves walk around freely.
Na now you want amend or edit a Bill you copied words for words from Singapore's Hate Speech Bill And Presented same to Nigerian Senate as your Bill? You must be very mad and from the APC.
Adupe ooooooo!
We don't want bill, you people are doing delete and minus...we look like jokes to you right?
Throw the bill out of the window.
We don't need the bill at all at all!!!!
I, Theophilus, Omo iya Calabar say NOTOSOCIALMEDIABILL not removing of death penalty. Simple and period! 👌
Removing death penalty.... the bill should be withdrawn completely
They could not give us Change. They’re struggling to take us to the NextLevel, so they have decided to take away our voices to stop us from holding them accountable. Don’t let them! SayNoToSocialMediaBill ShutItDownCompletely
Is this even an achievement? What are the asenatirs doing to hold the executive accountable for the Billions it is spending on God knows what?!! We never ready fa!
Fake media, does it worth reporting?
Do away with the whole bill!
Death penalty or not, the bill is shit. Don't be deceived SayNoToSocialMediaBill
With death penalty removed or not, we say No to SocialMediaBill
Is like if I want to sell my phone 50k I will definitely tell my customer 80k, so that at the end of transaction it will be around 51 or 55k. Imagine FG using chicken brain on modern Nigerians.
All these are just ways to keep distracting the masses until their tenure is complete...
He should be tried for plagiarism. The origin of his copied bill has been 'Busted' by jacksonpbn .He bury his head in shame as he couldn't initiate and/ sponsor people oriented bill.Nigeria is not Singapore. SayNoToSocialMediaBill
Sure! Death penalty is just too heavy for hate speech but no doubt we need to do something drastic about hate speech in this country.
More_should But you can steal billions meant for Nigerians and nothing will happen, you can lie to us that 1 dollar = 1 Naira, and so many more, are those not lies against the people..Bloody Thieves
He should quickly retract the bill before SingaporePolice see the bill because he plagiaris the bill.. Let's retweet until TwitterSG government sue him for plagiarism. SayNoToSocialMediaBill
He should allow it remain there. After all, he just suggested the whole Bill, it won't pass.
Let them remove all of it that's what we want
They can sponsor bill against hate speech but can't do same against political robbery. Bunch of thieves
This too must die a natural death 💀. Let’s focus on electoral reforms. Power must return to the people. Dictators we call reform democrats.
If you like remove death penalty and replace it with enjoyment penalty. The only thing that'll pacify Nigerians is removing the bill entirely. SayNoToSocialMediaBill SayNoToHateSpeechBill
How come sponsors don't think we should have a national bill against corruption and then out a death penalty for anyone found guilty of corruption or stealing national funds or assets
teekayllc They should throw away all the bill.
quotedreplies
Dem think say we b mumu.Cancel everytin. All we are saying NOTOSOCIALMEDIABILL
They will now and remove the bill patapata
The Nigerian government should know that if they continue in this bad governance,the masses are definitely coming after them..
HE THAT LIVES IN A GLASS HOUSE SHOULD NOT THROW STONES IN THE MARKET SQUARE 😁
The entirety of this bill is mare duplication of law and offences, there is an existing laws that governs such act. Be it treason ( againstgovmt) defermation of xter(against indvl)
They better remove the whole nonsense attached with the social media bill
We want it totally removed.
They should leave it so that during election when they start their hate speech, they will face death penalty
Beta. So if UN n UK didn't say anything about this FG won't remove it.
these people are bunch of cockroaches
He will die first...
Better
The bill shouldn't see the light of way in the first place. There are other Acts in place to deal with crimes and violence in media. Wasting time and resource on a duplicate should be discouraged. NASS should be a part-time thing, since they have nothing better to deliberate on.
If you people like, remove the Death penalty and replace it with Life penalty, all we know is that Bill is evil and is aimed at suppressing the voice of the people and enabling a Dictator pretending to be a Democrat. We SayNoToSocialBill! We SayNoToHateSpeechBill!
Are u d one that force yourself in to this Red chamber or masses? Populace said u should withdraw d bill completely....
Clandestinely they’d still carry out their plans. Na today? Hian!
DrChimere More pressure please. KillTheSocialMediaBill
Guys, I suggest we take this fight back to their door step. Let's march and insist that this law should be changed to death penalty for embezzlers of public fund and corruption.
Jettison the entire bill. It is fascist, anti - human and retrogressive. Shove the entire bill and all it represents down the waste bin of history. Do it now!
Ohh so jailing someone and shutting down the internet for freely expressing themselves is better Jokers!
The sponsor has to bow further.
Why should there even be a Bill like that in the first place. Misplaced priorities...the said senator's name is Sabi and unfortunately, him no sabi anything. We have other pressing issues and these guys are busy pushing vain Bills. We need serious liberation in this nation.
That man is the most stupid human being on earth
the bastard should scrap the bill entirely
E no go better for person papa wen de sponsor such nonsense bill.
Make Dem remove am completely, una father
SonJosh23 Summary being that they still will push it forward.
Remove the whole Bill from the Roster jare!
Hate speech bill should be thrown into d trash bin for now u guys hv a better benefiting bill to take care of nohatebillfornow
This was the plan all along, put a rediculos punishment and when everyone rants on twitter they'll remove the punishment for a different punishment and the people will relax and accept it. Let them drop the bill completely.
It should be totally expunged from the constitution. Such an archaic law shouldn't be contemplated
Death penalty for corrupt politicians, who does nothing other than embezzling people's money..
We don’t want any of this they should end it completely!!
No death penalty must be there oh see height of their stupidity. Let us have death penalty for looters like China as well
No single idiot wants to sponsor death penalty for corrupt politicians. .
Removing death penalty is not enough that bill need to be shut down shutitdown
The sponsor of the bill didn’t think rightly right from the onset because looters, Kidnappers, Ritualist and other criminal offense aren’t awarded such penalty so it makes no sense . KINI A GBE KINI A JU?
That's not enough. Remove it completely.
The government of 1983-85 is about to fail. God of the good Nigerians is at work...🙏
The sponsor of this bill is not worthy to be children's head boy. He should resign and return home... He's got no business being in Senate
Scrap the whole bill
How about death penalty for corrupt government officials!!! All of una never ready
Mallam so hate speech caused depression in Nigeria? Nigeria 7th depression hqs in the world. Wow. Una just dey take position for bad bad things.
I'm not even going to be objective here, ... Una father nyash! My ekiti thunder visit all of you in that house....idiot ppl. Any fool that gets to that house immediately becomes antihuman. Nonsense
Shut it down completely. We don't want the bill at all. Is that so hard to comprehend?
It is a lie it is a lie it is a lie It is a lie it is a lie it is a lie It is a lie it is a lie it is a lie AishaYesufu adeyanjudeji segalink ChidiOdinkalu SERAPNigeria ConcernedNIG they said senate distanced themselves now 2nd reading has passed from the same NGRSenate
As if all the promises & failures they pledged to execute on the basis of better living conditions for Nigerians have been met yet, they aren't dead or in prison but it's the one they don't understand they want to use agidi & bully us out of it that they're concerned about
Discard the bills totally! that's what we are waiting for!
We have the power not FG... Power belongs to the masses... Our rights, our freedom. Buhari can never succeed to silence Nigerians. Thunder fire all of them that ganged up against our freedom. This news will not stop us from protesting on Wed... OccupyNigeriaSeasonII
Some senators that want the social media bill to pass are the evil that wanna hides behind the law SayNoToSocialMediaBill
Let's stop being stupid. They didn't bow to any pressure. They know from day one that death penalty won't fly. They inserted it there as a negotiation tactics. Their mission is still real; to SILENCE you.
This bill should not exist at all
Are they not mad putting there in the first place
Useless set of people
Can we have death penalty for corrupt politicians? thisisnothatespeech
Whatever bill you sponsor will definitely come back to hunt you.
Foolish man
Since I still have the right to speak freely, then I freely say those elders on the seat should set down and rest their weak bones
Kill all the billshits NoToSocialMediaBill NoToHateSpeechBill TweetResponsibly
The kind of pressure that made NDDCOfficialNGR to promise fixing the Npkolu axis of East West Road, till today nothing has been done.
Ok now put the death penalty on failed campaign promises and public office holders guilty of corruption
Hate speech: Sponsors bow to pressure, retract hate speech and social media bills completely. Also apologize for their stupidity. That's the headline I'm waiting for, anything else, we never even start.
Removal of death penalty isn't just wat we wnt, d bill shouldn't pass all. Wat qualifies as hate speech & who determines it? Rather than pass such bill, we shuld Instd channel dat energy into findin a bill that allows for d masses to impeach govt wen it violates court orders.
This bill to me is misplaced priority at the moment we don't need such bills.
They are all Boko haram sympathiser and very corrupt bunch of people. In China all would have face capital punishment..
They can't propose death penalty for those politicians who embezzle public funds. Yeye people ☹️☹️
The senseless senator probably comes from a state with a high rate of maternal and child mortality, high crime rate yet he hasn't thought to sponsor a bill on those.
They should forget about it
Wait... Is this sponsor mad? Do we look like tools? We said we don't want a bill. He's now doing add and delete.
No, they shouldn't have removed it!
So we pay u millions monthly and ur passing a bill to shut us up from criticising ur incompetence? Its unacceptable Take out the bill completely ..and to think the bill was even plagiarized
Sometimes you wonder the extent of our wrongs to deserve such cruel set of leaders in this Era. compassofatale
He should withdraw the bill... We don't even want the bill.. Freedom of speech is what make democracy interesting and its our fundamental right..
What happened to fixing bad road,fixing power issue,creating jobs for unemployed youths Na this one dey wan die for inside ndi ala
This country is a joke!
Once again the social media they try to cage triumphs. Hallelujah

Why can't they do something about corruption?.
The death sentence is not the main issue. The main issue is trying to gag us. Trash the entire bill.
Such happenings is less expected. What a country.
It should withdraw everything, useless man
Trash bill
Cancel it completely
Drama kings
I bet only one section of the country will be appointed as commissioners. Criminals
We don't want the bill at all.. .. They need more pressure I guess
