NIGERIAN BLOGGERS BEWARE, BUHARI IS COMING TO GET YOU FLOGGED?

Icheoku says like Saudi Arabians, Nigerian bloggers will face a very hard time in the unfortunate event the lean and mean Muhammadu Buhari has his way with a bemused Nigerian polity and secures a win. In Saudi Arabia, a blogger Raif Badawi was sentenced to TEN YEARS imprisonment and additional 1000 LASHES for merely blogging. So ask yourself Nigerians, especially the Internet generation, whether you want to take such a chance under a Buhari government or would you rather do the needful now to stop him from nearing the gates of Aso Rock. Call a friend, text a friend, inbox a friend and ask them to spread the message today that taking such a chance with a Buhari administration is suicidal and not a risk worth taking. If you love blogging then you must love not to be disturbed from blogging; so beware!

According to sources, in a model similar to Kano State Hisba religious vigilantes, Muhammadu Buhari will establish "bulala or koboko" bearing blogger-minders to whip senses back to "errant" Nigerian bloggers if elected. It will be akin  to the WAI brigade of his first coming that enforced his War Against Indiscipline rigorous rules; including inflicting physical pain with koboko whips, public stripping naked, flog-jumping, doing press-up, picking trash and swearing on the grave of your ancestors to become a better citizen who loves his president and country? Icheoku says why wait to find out since you already had a preview of what lies in wait from the example of Saudi Arabia; instead of doing something to prevent it and NOW!

Icheoku calls on Nigerian bloggers and every online operators and users to, with your votes, tell Muhammadu Buhari now that 'blogging is not bad for your back'; but that it is a healthy mental exercise and a protected freedom of speech right under the constitution. Please don't wait till the day after February 14 to tell him because the despot Muhammadu Buhari has shown times and times again that he is no respecter of either the law or the constitution and would be deaf-toned then. The time is now and particularly on February 14, so that the message will have some weight. 

Icheoku says please do not wait to find out the hard way; JUST STOP HIM NOW. On February 14, VOTE GEJ; under whose administration blogging and other online activities has thrived in Nigeria and everyone is free and enjoying unlimited rights to free speech. Icheoku uses this opportunity to call on the Saudi Arabian authority to FREE Raif Badawi as blogging is not a threat to their maximum rule or control of the oil dollars flowing into their private Swiss accounts. Icheoku says 'Je Suis Raif Badawi;' FREE BADAWI NOW but will not similarly plead in the event they buy into the Buhari snake-oil some bad fellows in Nigeria is trying to sell to gullible Nigerians.
Further floggings of Saudi Arabian blogger Raif Badawi could cause debilitating long-term physical and mental damage.
