The anti-hate speech discussion has returned and seems to be stronger as the Nigerian Government has increased the penalty for hate speech in the country from N500,000 to N5m. The announcement was made in a statement by the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture.  

In response to this, The Nigerian Bar Association, senior lawyers and human rights groups on Tuesday have queried the decision, saying that the hike was an attempt to stifle the media and kill free speech through an unconstitutional means.
