Okonkwo Rejects Obi’s Demand for Apology, Insists on Allegations Over NDC Primaries A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has rejected a demand by Peter Obi for a retraction and apology over comments concerning the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) primary elections.

 I Do Not Take Online Backlash Into My Personal Life – Seyi Law

Popular Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law has disclosed how he handles online trolls.


The media personality explained that he separates online negativity from his real-life values and never let it affect him personally.


Seyi Law stated this during an appearance on HIPTV.


He said, “Internet trolls and backlash online, for me, even if I respond, it ends there. I don’t take it into my personal life, you don’t see me outside showing it on my face.


“Some would say that they are E-warriors; as long as I try to be compassionate and kind to people, I am in the right standing with my creator. Once I’m in the right standing with my creator, every other thing doesn’t matter.”


Seyi also drew a clear line between personal insults and defamation, advising against making defamatory claims without proof.


“For those who reply and those who choose to arrest anyone that has defamed then, I don’t advise them otherwise. You can insult someone and you can abuse them but don’t defame them. Don’t say they collected money when you didn’t see them collect money, don’t call them ashawo when you didn’t see them involved in prostitution.


“When a person insults me, those things don’t matter to me, that is your problem but don’t defame. Don’t cross the boundary that will take you to jail. The one’s that I feel I can reply, I reply and the ones that I don’t seem necessary, I ignore,” he concluded.
