"On November 20, the Protection from Internet Falsehoods and Manipulation of other Related Matters Bill 2019, known as the ""social media bill,"" sponsored by Senator Mohammed Sani Musa, sailed through a second reading."


"Lọ́jọ́ 20 oṣù Belu, Ìwé Àbádòfin tí ó fi Ààbò fún Irọ́ àti Màkàrúrù tí ó rọ̀ mọ́ ọn ti ọdún-un 2019, tí a mọ̀ sí ""ìwé àbádòfin ìlò ẹ̀rọ alátagbà,"" tí Aṣojú kan tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Mohammed Sani Musa ṣe agbátẹrùu rẹ̀, ti di kíkà nínú ìgbìmọ̀ fún ìgbà kejì."


The social media bill aims to curb online falsehoods and mis- and disinformation.

However, the real intent is not regulation, but rather, the annihilation of online freedom of expression, criminalization of government criticism and legalization of internet shutdowns in Nigeria.

"It will ban the dissemination statements likely to be ""prejudicial"" to Nigeria, including subjects like public health, public safety, ""public tranquility or public finances"" and Nigeria's ""friendly relations with other countries."""

In other words, everything is permissible to monitor and control in the proposed law - under the guise of fighting false information.

"The social media bill is omniscient since it will be binding for every Nigerian citizen, regardless of residence or geographic location, as long as the ambiguous ""false statement of fact"" is transmitted within the country."


"Ọ̀run ń ya bọ̀ ni ìwé àbádòfin ìlò ẹ̀rọ alátagbà náà, kò yọ ẹnìkan sílẹ̀, gbogbo ọmọ orílẹ̀ èdèe Nàìjíríà ni yóò bá, kò kan agbègbè tàbí ibi tí ènìyàn fi ṣe ibùgbé, máà ṣe é l'oògùn máà mọ́, ọwọ́ àwọn ológìnní ojú tólé ojú tóko ni ""gbólóhùn irọ́ tí kò ní ẹ̀rí"" tí ó bá gba òpópónà ẹ̀rọ ayélukára bí ajere Nàìjíríà yóò bọ́ sí."


Section 3a to b (i) of the social media bill states that:


Abala 3a sí b (i) ti ìwé àbádòfin ìlò ẹ̀rọ alátagbà sọ wípé:


A person must not do any act in or outside Nigeria in order to transmit in Nigeria a statement knowing or having reasons to believe that it is a false statements of fact; and the transmission of the statement in Nigeria is likely to be, prejudicial to the security of Nigeria or any part of Nigeria.

"The nebulous ""national security"" excuse is used to justify the trumping of free expression."


"Ọ̀ràn-an ti ""ààbò orílẹ̀-èdè"" ni orí Èṣù tí òfin náà dúró lé láti pa ẹ̀tọ́ sí òmìnira ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ mọ́."


But it does not stop there, the Nigerian government is always right and cannot be criticized.

"According to Section 3b (vi), any statement that diminishes ""public confidence in the performance of any duty or function of, in the exercise of any power of the government"" is prohibited."


"Ní Abala 3b (vi), gbólóhùn tí ó bá yẹpẹrẹ ""ojúṣe tàbí ìṣe, tí ó jẹ́ ti ìjọba lójú ará ìlú"" kò leè la orí ayélujára kọjá."


"According to Section 3b (v), this applies to any statement that: ""incites feelings of enmity, hatred, directed at persons or ill-will between different groups of persons."""


"Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Abala 3b (v) ti ṣe fi hàn, èyí ní í ṣe pẹ̀lú gbólóhùn tí ó: ""fa ìmúnilọ́tàá, tí a sọ sí ẹnìkan tàbí ìtara láàárín àwọn ènìyàn."""


This is dangerous because it leaves regulators open to contradictory interpretations that could be abused by political actors.

Who defines and approves what incites feelings of hatred?

It means that seeking transparency or even daring to hold a politician accountable could be declared hateful.

The punishment upon conviction for any provisions of the bill is a fine that ranges between 200,000 and 10 million naira [about $556 to $28,000 United States dollars], imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or both.

Internet service providers must comply with this blocking order or risk upon conviction a fine within the range of 5 to 10 million naira [$14,000-28,000 USD].

"In addition, the bill under consideration indemnifies the internet service providers from any ""civil or criminal liability"" incurred from a lawsuit brought against them for ""complying to any access blocking order,"" according to section 12, number 5."


"Ní àfikún, ìwé àbádòfin náà fi àrídájú ààbò bo àwọn apèsè iṣẹ́ ẹ̀rọ ayélujára tí kò ní mú wàhálà ""ará ìlú tàbí bẹ́ẹ̀ "" tí kò bá à lè jáde láti ìdájọ́ kan tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò bá pè wọ́n fúnopé ""wọ́n tẹ̀lé òfin ìdígàgá ìráyé"" sí ayélujára, ìyẹn bí abala 12, òǹkaye 5 ṣe fi lélẹ̀."


The human rights violations get murkier because the law grants the police a legal license to command an access-blocking order at whim.

"Section 15a states that only the ""initiative"" of the police in face of ""overwhelming sufficing evidence"" is needed to cancel an internet shutdown in the country."

"Consequently, ""no appeal may be made to the High Court"" [Section 13 (2) ] by any party to revoke such a ban without first applying to the police to revoke an existing blocking order."


"Ní ìparí, ""kò sí àyè fún ẹjọ́ọ kò tèmi lọ́rùn ní Ilé-ẹjọ́ Gíga"" [Abala 13 (2) ] tí eẹnikẹ́ni lè fi yẹ ìdígàgá sílẹ̀ láì máà kọ́kọ́ tọ ọlọ́pàá lọ láti fagilé òfin ìdígàgá náà."


The implications of this are obvious - no one can resort to the courts for redress in the face of this violation while the blocking order persists.

Mohammed Sani Musa's company, Activate Technologies Limited, supplied the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) machine used for the 2019 general elections, while he was the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for Niger East Senatorial district, according to the investigate outlet, Premium Times.

In October 2019, Tanzania's high court upheld the landmark 2016 ruling that increased the minimum age of marriage for girls and boys to 18.

The Tanzanian government attempted to repeal this decision, claiming that girls mature earlier and marriage is a form of protection for pregnant young women, and should, therefore, be allowed to marry earlier than 18.

But on October 23, 2019, the Tanzanian government lost its appeal and the high court ruling remains: The marriage age for both males and females is 18, reinforcing the ban on child marriage in Tanzania.

The fight to end child marriage in Tanzania

In 2016, Gyumi challenged the constitutionality of the Law of Marriage Act, 2002 (LMA) that allowed females under the age of 18 to get married.

According to Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS), 36 percent of women aged 25-49 get married before their 18th birthday compared to only 5 percent for men the same age.

The LMA allowed girls as young as 14 to get married with consent from a court and age 15 with the consent of the parents whereas 18 years was the minimum age for a male.


Òfin LMA fi àyè gba ọmọdébìnrin tí ọjọ́ oríi wọn kò ju ọdún mẹ́rìnlá lọ láti ṣe ìgbéyàwó pẹ̀lú ìlọ́wọ́sí ilé-ẹjọ́, ìlọ́wọ́sí òbí fún ọmọ ọdún márùn-ún-dínlógún, nígbà tí ọdún méjìdínlógún jẹ́ ọjọ́ orí tí ó kéré jù lọ fún ọmọkùnrin.


Through her attorneys, Gyumi argued that the LMA provisions were discriminatory for giving preferential treatment to males in the matter of eligible marriage age.


Nípasẹ̀ àwọn aṣojú rẹ̀, Gyumi ṣàlàyé wípé àlàálẹ̀ LMA kọ iyán obìnrin kéré nítorí pé ó fún àwọn ọkùnrin ní àǹfààní ju àwọn obìnrin lọ.


They further argued that the provisions infringed the right to equality and they were too vague and too susceptible to arbitrary interpretation to deny female children their right to education.


Nítẹ̀síwájú, wọ́n sọ wípé àlàálẹ̀ náà fi ẹ̀tọ́ dídọ́gba ọmọ ènìyàn yí ẹrẹ̀fọ̀ àti pé wọn fi ẹ̀tọ́ àǹfààní sí ẹ̀kọ́ ìwé dun àwọn ọmọdébìnrin.


Gyumi petitioned the High Court to find the provisions of LMA null and void.


Gyumi rọ Ilé-ẹjọ́ Gíga láti gbé àlàálẹ̀ LMA tì sẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́.


The High Court never declared the provisions in the LMA null and void.


Ilé-ẹjọ́ Gíga kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.


But they found the provisions unconstitutional and gave the government one year to correct the anomalies in the LMA provisions.

Grounds for appeal


Àyè fún àtúnpè-ẹjọ́


In four months of court proceedings, the government sought to appeal the 2016 ruling that required the revision of the provisions LMA that allowed girls to be married at the age of 15.


Láàárín oṣù mẹ́rin ìgbẹ́jọ́, ìjọba gbèrò láti ṣe àtúnpè-ẹjọ́ ọdún-un 2016 tí yó ṣe àtúnṣe sí àlàálẹ̀ LMA èyí tí ó fi àyè gba ọmọdébìnrin ọlọ́jọ́-orí márùn-úndínlógún gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tí ó ti bàlágà fún ìgbéyàwó.


The appellant, represented by principal state attorneys, Mark Mulwambo and Alesia Mbuya, provided biological differences and customary and Islamic laws as grounds for the appeal.


Atẹ́jọ́pè, tí ó jẹ́ aṣojú àwọn adájọ́ ìpínlẹ̀, Mark Mulwambo àti Alesia Mbuya, ṣe àgbékalẹ̀ ìyàtọ̀ ìwà ẹ̀dá obìnrin àti ọkùnrin tí wọ́n sì fi àṣà ìbílẹ̀ àti òfin ẹ̀sìn Ìmàle gbá àtúnpè-ẹjọ́ náà nídìí.


"Ms. Mbuya argued that biological differences put boys and girls in ""different categories"" and that therefore, the law treats them differently."


"Ms. Mbuya sọ wípé ìyàtọ̀ ìwà ẹ̀dá fi ọmọdékùnrin àti ọmọdébìnrin sí ""ìsọ̀rí ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ "" àti pé, òfin fi ojú ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ wò wọ́n."


She argued that because girls matured earlier, the law took that into consideration. She argued that marriage could protect unmarried girls who get pregnant at an early age.


Ó sọ síwájú sí i wípé nítorí àwọn ọmọdébìnrin máa ń tètè bàlágà ju ọmọdékùnrin lọ ni òfin fi la àlàálẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀. Ó sọ wípé ìgbéyàwó lè fi ààbò bo ọmọdébìnrin tí kò sí nílé ọkọ tí ó ti di abaraméjì láì tó ọjọ́ orí tí ó tọ́.


"Further, she argued the court erred by ""equating the age of the child and the age of marriage,"" meaning that the court should consider male and female children differently when it comes to marriageable age."


"Ó sọ síwájú sí i wípé ilé ẹjọ́ kùnà bí ó ṣe ""ṣe ìmúdọ́gbandọ́gba ọjọ́ orí ọmọ àti ọjọ́ orí tí ó yẹ fún ìgbéyàwó,"" èyí tí ó túmọ̀ sí wípé ọ̀tọ̀ ni ti tọ́lú ọ̀tọ̀ ni ti tọ́lùú wò, ọ̀tọ̀ ni ó yẹ kí ilé ẹjọ́ ó là kalẹ̀ fún ọjọ́ orí ìgbéyàwó ọkùnrin àti obìnrin."


Netizens were quick to criticize the grounds the appellant provided in court.

The court's ruling is a step toward eliminating harmful practices and ending all forms of discrimination against girls in Tanzania.

"American rapper Kanye West brought his ""Sunday Service"" pop-up concert to Kingston, Jamaica, at the start of its National Heroes Day holiday weekend (October 19-21, 2019)."

"With just two days"" notice, the free concert took place at Emancipation Park in Kingston, the capital city - a location that jarred some commentators because of controversial comments West had made about slavery during a media interview in May 2018."

"Even as Culture Minister Olivia ""Babsy"" Grange responded to early criticism by saying the country was benefitting from the concert, one music promoter felt the show, which was livestreamed on the Sunday Service website, ""upstaged"" other cultural activities over Heroes Day weekend."

Having a concert to promote the line at the historic Emancipation Park provides tacit assent of not only the line of garments by the government and people of Jamaica, but also of the use of the country's national symbols in their creation.
