In another hit|hot episode of #YourViewTVC, the overwhelming ladies of the show sat to analyse the recent proposition by the senate.
Morayo opened the conversation by asking the ladies of their various opinions surrounding ‘The Senate Proposition Of Death Penalty For Hate Speech’.
Nyma stated that, Nigerians love to eat their cake and have it. We’ve seen what #hatespeech did in Rwanda, so the bill is needed in this country. There should be consequences when people make unwanted comments.
We live in a country where the powers that be use the power to their favor. Such that when people like them make negative comments, they would get away with it but when a common man says something similar, he would be picked up! ~ Obiajulu
Tope voiced out saying that ‘You don’t use punishment or death to garner love. If a community hates you, tell your immediate family or children. Threatening them with death penalty, is not the way to go!’
Look at the merits of the bill before you judge, don’t get emotional. I’ve seen where #hatespeech led to the death of people. The institutions that ought to implement laws, are faulty. The death penalty is extreme, but there should be consequences. – Nyma
