Nigeria has never, ever rewarded anybody's silence or cooperation with mercy. The more you cower and keep quiet, the more it victimises you.

I expect the entire Nigerian media establishment to take NBC to court. Cowering is a losing strategy. Push back!

At heart, the Abacha boys and Lai Mohammed are cowards, which is why they can only effect these gagging attempts incrementally. They've spent 5 years pushing the limits and only received pushback on the social media bill, hate speech bill and NCDC bill.

In every case where there was pushback, they could not force it through in the face of resistance because at the end of the day like all bullies, they're just cowards.

You don't cower before a bully. You push back and force the bully to confront you on your own terms.
