Having someone arrested for defamation isn't oppression. In Nigeria as of today, it is very much legal. Lex lata.
That it should not be is a different matter entirely. Lex ferenda.
“If PMB dint want PBAT to win the primary , he won’t win” 😂😂😂.
I am actually tired of hearing that statement.
The brief chronology ;-
When the plot thickened against PBAT and it became known that PMB was picking Ahmed Lawan- Akeredolu voiced out.
Next thing - Adamu met with NEC and presented Ahmed Lawan as the anointed and consensus candidate from PMB.
Northern governors in disarray also spoke out and decided to meet PMB.
PMB asked them ( Northern Governors) to pick 5 southerners - it was still difficult for PMB to anoint any southerner - and since they won’t allow him pick Ahmed Lawan , he decided to allow an open contest.
When PBAT emerged, he hurriedly left the convention and become totally indifferent, allowing the cabals throw their support behind Atiku and supervised the Naira swap policy intended against PBAT.
The rest they say is history.
Toyin Abraham, you also said something demeaning about that guy.
You're now frustrating him because you have assess to power? This is really condemned.
You guys are they people bringing bad names to APC and making us look like we're rascals who are now above the law.
Toyin Abraham @toyin_abraham1 you’re EXTREMELY shameless.
When you’re done bullying people that are not your mates, come outside and tell us the ideas Tinubu told you.
You think your 0/10 tacky movies will save you when the country’s economy collapses due to terrible policies?
YOU ARE SHAMELESS.
Come and put body✌🏻.
Honestly, you people really need to stop tweeting like morons. You accuse people a lot for 10 minutes fame. “Hold her by the neck” “Na here e dey happen” “I borrowed money to come here for this violence”. These are the comments fueling you. How long will you do all these?
You accuse people unnecessarily without evidence or proof and you know Nigerians don’t go to court, they just go to the police straight and you are on your way to Jail. You don’t think?
Inasmuch as we are against using the police for something lawsuits can sort, we need to tell you the truth as well. Start using your brain. Stop using unfounded accusations to chase clouts. ✌️
How and why did you need Soyinka to validate the success of Achebe's daughter. Just like Messi fans, you guys are never sufficient, and it won't matter what you have achieved, it must be compared. Inferiority in the most complex form.
There is a thin line between enabling the police and seeking justice in criminal defamation. It is so because our police rarely observe the required standard of engagement.
That shouldn't stop people from seeking justice.
If anyone insults you or defames your character, go to court and seek justice.
APC trolls insult me and tell so many Lies against my person. I have never for once used the police to illegally arrest or detain anyone and Never will I.
There is serious danger in using the police to illegally detain citizens.
I hope those of you supporting this abuse of power won’t cry foul when you or your loved ones are the victims.
To be clear, this is not to support Online bullying and harassment. I strongly condemn it and believe that those involved should be made to face the consequences of their actions.
I am a victim myself and I know how mentally damaging it is.
But go to Court and seek Justice like the rest of us do.
Don’t use your friends in government to illegally detain citizens. It may favor you now, but think about tomorrow when you no longer have that power or the closeness to that power. It might not be you, it might be someone you care about.
What will become of us if everyone takes law into their own hands?
Welcome to Nigeria where people like Toyin Abraham because she supports Tinibu can just wake up and lockup citizens without any court order. They are now the court and feel untouchable
Until we start holding idiots like this accountable sanity won't return to this country.
