I'm so sure the writer of this piece is indirectly seeking a federal government appointment.

I duff my hart for the irrepressible late Gani who was a thorn in the flesh of successive curupt military government and there civilian collaborators. IBB has to acknowledge him as the only critic that his government could not compromise. Our present day critics need to do a soul searching and emulate Gani

APC are smartly working the psychology of greedy Nigerian Government critics, Elzakzaky completely rubished himself all thanks to FG and Indian Government, Lamidi Kanu was made to run like a coward all thanks to buhari/burutai's scare tactics now he is no more a problem in Nigeria, FG intentionally used Money to distabilize #OURMUMUDONDO when they offered Charly Boy money and went ahead to lock up Ogudamisi far away in kano state..
Seun Onigbede was also worked on after APC hired him and also made it public that they now have their critics on their payroll

Trust me sir, it is very easy to muddy that fine line between objective criticism and hate speech/outright pulling down... We all know this government is very intolerant of the former, and joyously makes effort to taint or portray it as the latter.

Ironically, members of this government, starting from the head, barely disguised their penchant to indulge freely in the latter all through out last regime, especially in the build up to the 2015 elections... He that comes to the table of equity, should be gracious enough to wash and sterilize his hands.

That said, everything written in that editorial is largely sacrosanct, and a belated pointer to a very dangerous precedent. You can't claim to be democratic if you muzzle every loud voice of opposition and criticism in your tenure.

Be honest, people like FKK have continued to say very file statements against PMB and his ethnicity, yet he is walking free. You hate PMB should not mean you hate the truth.

ok ooooooo

I find it quite amusing that you would use a layabout and bigot like FFK as an instance in a discussion on objective criticism.

I am talking about objective critics being labelled hate-mongers by members of, and supporters of this government... Are you going to actually pretend that's not happening brazenly or subliminally??!...

Maybe I should digress, and indulge your intellect by asking: What kind of criticism would you term objective, or hateful/destructive? Isn't the concept or object of criticism to point out flaws in a system??! Does a criticism become destructive when it is from the camp of the opposition??!

Hate speech and criticism are two things far apart. Prof Soludo actually criticized the government within reasonable parameters, and today he has been appointed. When hatred becomes mistaken for criticism such society is planning to kill itself gradually.

Is “Jonathan is Clueless” criticism or hate speech?
Is “GEJ Government is destroying the North”, criticism or hate speech?
Is “GEJ Government travelling to Niger and Chad to plan more Boko Haram attacks”, criticism or hate speech?
Is “GEJ has a sniper list”, criticism or hate speech?

I can go on and on.
If this regime cannot take it, why did they give it? In all, they sound very childish and foolish. I’m sure you’ll agree with me. The table of equity only allows for clean hands.

Gani Fawehinmi was an exception. He criticized government till he died. And was very successful and wealthy legal luminary without a single government patronage.

If I can remember, the only albatross on him was when he appeared before a tribunal constituted by military government after NBA has warned its member not to participate. Dr Olu Onagoruwa, his once best friend used that to attack him.

Mention should also be made of icons like Beko Ransome Kuti, Ayo Obe, etc.

Dr Onagoruwa, once Nigeria's foremost constitutional lawyer fell because of Abacha's appointment he accepted.

They-say-commentator.

Nonsense write up designed to stir unnecessary hate...

I warned her ooooo.
There is no way I am going to delete the emails we exchanged on that topic.
She has gone very quiet of late (at least 3 to 4 years now)
