Freedom Of Speech Denied Again. A Popular Forum Website In Nigeria Bans Biafra Comments

[SeaterLv1: New Member]

A popular forum website in Nigeria, Nairaland, has banned pro-biafra comments on its platform.

This is what the Owner of Nairaland.
A brief statement by its CEO read: Fellow Nairalanders, Nairaland loves Igbos and Niger Deltans very much. The thought of being separated from them for any reason is unbearable to us, so we have decided that we will reject any attempt by anyone to use Nairaland to promote the idea of removing Igbos and Niger Deltans from Nigeria.
We have updated rule 9 of Nairaland to reflect this decision. It now says:
Don’t use Nairaland for illegal acts, e.g scams, plagiarism, hacking, g4y
meetings, incitement, promoting Biafra.

As expected, the decision was met with fury and anger by Biafra supporters, with many threatening to leave the forum, while another faction of members supported the decision calling it a bold step for the unity of Nigeria.

Biafrans the freedom of speech and freedom after speech is what is killing this country... Called Nigeria.
