First Lady Aisha Buhari Backs Social Media Bill

First Lady, Aisha Buhari has thrown her weight behind the bill seeking to regulate Nigeria's social media space, which seeks Protection from Internet Falsehood and Manipulation.






While speaking at the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs General Assembly and National Executive Council Meeting held at the National Mosque in Abuja, the president's wife called for the regulation of social media.


Exemplifying her point with China, Aisha stated that with about 1.3 billion people, the Asian country had been able to regulate its social media, and she doesn't see why Nigeria with only 180 million people cannot attempt to control its social media.


She said, “ On this issue of social media, you cannot just sit in the comfort of your house and tweet that the Vice President has resigned. It is a serious issue. If China can control over 1.3 billion people on social media, I see no reason why Nigeria cannot attempt controlling only 180 million people."


Since the social media bill passed second reading at the Senate, politicians, key opinion leaders, and the Nigerian populace have expressed that the bill be is a threat to Nigerians' freedom of speech and the nation's democracy.
If passed into law, the bill seeks to prevent falsehoods, manipulations, and counter the effects of such communications and transmission.

  1. China that the US is afraid of because they have the resources to emerge the hegemony it’s the one Aisha “I’m not the First Lady” is comparing Nigeria to. It’s only bad things we compare ourselves to, we never emulate things that help our economy. It’s always nonsense, next thing they’d said ban WhatsApp video calls since some countries have that rule. Rubbish

  4. A country that can't even pay their civil servants a somewhat liveable wage, and that routinely owe its pensioners is concerned about social media? Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Start being concerned about running an efficient and thriving nation before worrying about invisible ppl online. Foolishness
