\u201cIn June this year, there was a riot in Ethiopia when a popular musician was killed. What the government did was to shut down social media for two days to bring that riot under control.

\u201cWe are sitting on a time bomb on this issue of fake news. Unfortunately, we have no national policy on social media and we need one.

\u201cAt every time, the government has continued to draw attention that this is a menace. Unfortunately, it is not happening in Nigeria alone. The University of Ohio conducted research and discovered that Hillary Clinton lost the Presidential election to Trump because of fake news which was promoted by Russia and they worked on three issues. First was that Trump had been endorsed by the Pope. The second was that when she was Secretary of States, she authorized the sale of arms and also that she was a very old person.

\u201cThere was an almost reprisal only for him to find out that it was not true. In the same 2017, we found out that some of the videos being posted are things that happened in other parts of the world.

\u201cWe kept saying that if we don\u2019t regulate social media, it will destroy us. Social media and fake news will not destroy Nigeria.
