Nigerian Languages / Re: Freedom of Speech VS Freedom After Speech
« on: April 02, 2025, 10:18:06 AM »I don't know why people still think that they would be free to say whatever they like when the current president got into power by his own rights without following due process nor giving it a chance to function as it should.A copper out of painful experience and a heartbreaking condition made a video on TikTok which has gone viral on the internet, and which I am sure most of you have seen by now, where she said President Tinubu is a Terrible President, and has been threatened by the NYSC officials from the secretarial.Sincerely speaking; our situation and problems we are facing in Nigeria are from our own government . A government that neglects the opinions of the citizens as well as not going by the constitution itself. At this point, we have lost our rights to the hands of the government if our own freedom of speech could be neglected.
When we speak, there is problem because those at the leading position don't want to hear their faults being made manifest to their faces, rather, everyone should be in silence, when speak, threat follows, when protest comes, the entire country suffers it, because the government leaders feel they are untouchable. This is a country blessed with wealth all round, but was hijacked by the so-called leaders, taking everything to themselves, and to those who pay obedience to their evil reports as good.
This is a link to the video of the NYSC copper speaking bitterly and painfully, and still being threatened
Here is a link of a reporter who is benefiting from the bad government and is blinded by his benefits speaking what he fells is right, while a lawyer is speaking with facts on what each and every citizen of Nigeria is facing.
In Nigeria, there is freedom of speech, but freedom after speech na get problem.
Let's hear your thoughts on this situation.
Following the issue of the copper situation, there wasn’t any measures taken up till this day by the government.This has been more than two weeks since this happened and no correctional measures has been taken by the government in respect of the abused copper.I feel if her rights were respected, the government would have addressed it in meetings or through social media buh the whole thing has gone silently if not for people who raised up the matter.This is the situation that we find ourselves in the country as Nigerians it's a terrible situation because one thing that I have found out from this country is that the political class doesn't want people to speak up and anyone who dears to talk is termed as an energy of progress and is someone who wants to put sand in the food that they are eating, the orientation system that our leaders have here is terrible and needs to change because it is not a civilized way because in sane societies there is room for political leaders who are elected to office by the the citizens to criticizes there leaders constructively and openly telling them their faults and areas where they are not doing well, but in Nigeria that is not the case because after talking you have to be prepared and ready to face the consequences of what your talk is going to bring to you because as far as am concerned there's no freedom of speech in the countryDuring the militarian era; the people weren’t allowed to speak up. There was a kind of bondage they kept us in.It makes me wonder if our constitution says we follow a presidential system of government but the government act by the militarian book.Sincerely speaking , there is a cause for the revolution of our government and Nigeria itself.This needs to be put to a halt.
This is more of an authoritarian government or should I say capitalism because the poor masses has so far no way to benefit from allievation schemes and the prices of commodities and food has drastically increased without a reasonable counter action to make the citizens survive better.
If you no get money for this country, at least try get connections or be a powerful person, that's when you have a voice, otherwise, you got to be a sheep and stay out of publicity.
