#SpeakOutNow by Cyril Onuisi

I trust you have been following the news lately. Nigeria senate (#ngrsenate) is looking to knock down the fight against corruption or whatever you perceive it is they are doing.

Firstly, the Social Media bills. They are saying before your chat, post on your timeline, use any harshtag, tweet, post a comment… you have to seek an affidavit in a law court.

Hello guys, is the senate out to protect their selfish interest (cover up their bad dealings) or to work for the interest of the country? How can information flow with this senate stifling it? Should we burn down a forest simply because we found a rotten fruit on one tree? Look, a graduation of that bill could be the government to control the internet- internet censorship!

Second is the reintroduction of toll gates. Is the absence of toll gate the reason for the dilapidated roads in the country? What about the billions purloined by office holders?

The Obansanjo led government knocked down the toll gates in the past (partly) due to the corruption in the society. Has the senate rooted out this? Why not build the roads and have everything working efficiently, set up a competent management system, correct what led to the past abolishment of the toll gates before considering its reintroduction?

These are the greatest lines of bullshit stories I’ve ever heard.
