AMARANTHA!!!! SAY FREEDOM

OPEN LETTER TO THE UNITED NATIONS ON NIGERIA

:PRESS FREEDOM /FREE SPEECH

Dear Secretary General ,

                                        Your Excellency ,sir,very recently i wrote a landmark in the history of fight against human rights violations a protest letter to the security council regarding the conducts of Former President Goodluck Jonathan and President Muhammadu Buhari on such issues like the Boko Haram crisis,the Fulani herdsmen among other pressing problems the Nigerian nation  had been bedeviled with

We are surprised that rather than answer this pertinent question among several others left hanging in the air,The Buhari regime is trying to arm twist the people via trampling on freedom of speech as it eyes seriously a regime of censorship to fight cyber dissidents .

We will not have believed this situation if one of his bosom friends and a key political ally had not mentioned this publicly in a speech whose excerpts was published by arguably Nigeria's biggest and mass circulating newspaper,The Punch Newspapers of Lagos,Nigeria.

While we accept that it may just have been a personal opinion or a slip of the tongue and may be a possible shift of the teeth but coming from a top government functionary makes such a position very dangerous to our fledgling democracy.

What it means is that if they succeed at doing what they want to do with the social media in Nigeria,then just about any form of broad day light robbery will go on unchallenged .

The position of the law against any civil or criminal acts carried out either online or offline in every nation is already taken care of by the legislations and other acts of parliament and we are surprised by this new move and so we call on you to use your good position to ask the Nigerian leadership to behave themselves by working to  make life better for its citizenry instead of planning and hoping to violate basic tenets of global human rights

Yours Faithfully,
