What a shame!
What we have in our hands right now is a devastating situation. This is a blow against democracy. This is tyranny. No need for any form of coloration. This is anti-democratic. The military reign is here. Again. Sad.
Shame to every facebooker that isn’t going to make a post about this. They will be the next hit. It is this same barbaric act to suspend the license of Daar Communications (AIT and RayPower) that they intend to employ to suspend Social Media.
They will come for Social Media. They will come for your rights to speak. Can we all stand and say no to this. AIT must come back. Ray Power as well. These are the watch dogs, the forth estate, the tool for checks and balance. The torchlight for truths and facts.
They must not fall to tyranny. They must not be banned. This is nothing but a bold shameless act. They ought to cover their faces in shame. But they are shameless even in this shameful act.
When Ediale wrote against TBoss’ wish to ban Social Media. This was exactly what Ediale was saying. Ediale hoped she was not being sponsored. Ediale prayed Stupidity doesn’t meet foolishness. Ediale warned that this was an attack against our freedom of speech.
Hate Speech is a farce. The Government hides under this farce to attack our democracy. What for fuck sake is a hate speech. Who defines the hate talks. When APC keep saying PDP brought this nation down is that not Hate Speech?
Why is that not Hate? When Buhari called Nigerian Youths lazy, was that not Hate Speech against all the youths in the land. Seriously, who defines what is hate and what is love.
These draconial laws are for the military reigns. Don’t attack our speeches. There’s no such thing as hate speech. In a democratic setting you preach tolerance. Tolerance to speeches. Not attacking our speech.
Our Speech is all we have. A free media is the people’s police. It is the people’s voice and eyes. An attempt to blind and render us dumb is to shut down the people’s journalism.
Shame on other radio stations who aren’t protesting this trash. Shame to TV stations who think this fight is only for Raymond Dopkesi.
Hate Speech is a scam. It should never exist. What the heck is a hate speech? One man’s hate another man’s love. All the sweet talks about Buhari is a hate speech to people who deserve a better president.
Hate speech?
What about hate actions?
As revealed by Lere Olayinka and Nafiu T in their tweets should Modibbo even have a speech?
Why is the NBC Director-General, Dr Modibbo Kawu, a card carrying member of APC?
Is this not some Hate Action that he is NBC DG and APC member?
He was a governorship aspirant in Kwara State.
Should a CARD CARRYING MEMBER of a Political Party be in charge of a Broadcast Media Regulatory Body like NBC?
Is it not Hate Action that the Director General of the National Broadcasting Commission, Ishaq Modibbo Kawu, is standing trial for ₦2.5 billion theft and he lacks the conscience to step aside and face the allegations against him But he has the shameless nerve to be issuing threats against our democracy?
As tweeted, “Ishaq Modibbo Kawu who is flexing muscles in NBC suspending the operating license of AIT/Raypower connived with Lai Mohammed to steal N2.1billion and is currently under investigation. But as it is the character of the Buhari’s Govt, every thief is shielded” are these not Hate Actions!
Save our democracy. How can this even happen? A licensed Press Media revoked for speech’s sake. We are doomed. I can’t understand the peace we still have in this social media. I am shattered that other TV stations are still airing regular programs.
The end has come. Shame. Shame. Shame.
Your Hateful Shame spotter,

PS: If they could, they would have shut down Sahara Reporters a long time ago. They will want to shut down InstaLetters. They are the original Hate Actors. Say No To Them Today That You May Have A Voice Tomorrow.
