Defamation can put you behind bars in Nigeria 🚔📢

So you think it’s just “ordinary gist”? 🤔
That careless post on Facebook…
That voice note you dropped in the group chat…
That WhatsApp broadcast you forwarded…

👉 If it damages someone’s reputation and it’s FALSE, you may be sued for defamation.

But wait 👇 there are defenses too:
If it’s TRUE, you’re safe.
If it’s your honest opinion on a matter of public interest, you may be covered.
If you spoke under privilege (like in court or parliament), you’re shielded.
❌ But if it’s malicious, careless, or baseless, you’re in trouble!

Your tongue and your keyboard can both be weapons.
Use them wisely or pay the price. ⚖

Would you rather trend online or trend in court? 👀
