For the first time ever in my life, I am going to email Nigeria's lawmakers.

Will it matter? Very unlikely. But there's that tiny possibility that maybe, just maybe, if enough people contact them & ask, doubt will creep into their decision to support.

Nigerians in the diaspora who may think this bill does not affect them, remember your family members & friends can be imprisoned for simply voicing their thoughts. Don't think you're immune. Urge everyone you know to pressure their senators. #SayNoToSocialMediaBill

I also know there are people who support this bill for some reason. I understand. When you have lived in the mud too long, you no longer know if your shirt is brown or if it's stained with mud.

You don't know what freedom and democracy are.

But you, too, are not safe. If you really think the same president, politicians, police & courts that have, since 1960, denied you everything a decent citizen should have will interpret this kind of law with fairness, prepare for a rude awakening.
