If this were to happen in Nigeria, nairaland would have been toast.

But a Kuwaiti man, Rashid Saleh al-Anzi, has been sentenced by a court to spend 2 yrs in jail for insulting the Kuwaiti Emir on Twitter.

Avoid Kuwait if you cant stop insulting leaders.

Please herald it to arrogant, disrespectful, insultive, childish and abusive nairalanders. Smh

Here in Nigeria, it's free-for-all rantings. Nigerians, what happened to our morals? We should learn how to respect our Leaders.

The man is way out of line. We have a leader of a govt that is responsive to its citizens needs, takes care of his people, provide basic amenities and never lies to them on live TV. Kuwaitis arent suffering in the midst of enormous wealth and there seems to be relative peace so i wonder why their leader should be insulted but prayed for.

Unlike kuwait, ours is different. we have a very unsincere, corrupt, dumb eediot as leader that delights in satisfying the needs of his satanic cabal at the expense of the masses. A leader like ours should not only be insulted but stoned to death.

This is a good lesson to everybody...We insult leaders, government, pastors and imams on daily basis just to feel good..But this shouldnt be so...Make seun thank God say we no dey Kuwait or else na everybody for nairaland go dey spend 2years for prison...

@demdem easy no dey vex like that.give honour and respect to constituted authority cos only God can appoint a leader.HE knows best

well, if nigerians will live like kuwaitis we can have their laws too. but we dont, do we?

Even America can't do that!

overdrive: @demdem easy no dey vex like that.give honour and respect to constituted authority cos only God can appoint a leader.HE knows best

But we elected them, didnt we?

Op: is it Kuwait that one Kuwaiti dinar is equals to N556?!?!?!

YOU AND YOUR CLUELESS PRESIDENT CAN GO AND PLAY IN POO!!!!!!!!!!!

Bt ther own govt is very responsible naw.



Here, our leaders re bunches of useless nd greedy fellows.

They care only for themselves nd thr associates.

So dey don't deserve nice words frm we dt dey govern

badoo sure u know our d money they go. Dat money heavy die straight to nigeria.if nt inter state

is kuwait a democracy?

is it not a country with rulers for life?

do all the people cheering want sharia in nigeria?

Nawa ooo,so if na there I dey,I for don dey prison? Well,I no kukuma abuse GEJ 10times.

u just said Kuwait, where leaders work to ensure gud roads, electricity, security of lives and properties, very low rate of unemployment, and d list goes on. unlike 9ja where political leaders r liers and looters.
trust me, if GEJ or any other leader here cud giv Nigeria half of wat's on ground in kuwait,such leader will b idolised.
4 d record, u dont force respect out of ur subjects, rather u earn it. has our leaders earned such?
u r welcome.

You have nothing to contribute here and you can get off. what do you mean by what you just stated? Do we have sincere and transparent leaders free of corruption? what do you mean by saying insultive?
Tell me our leaders who are free from corrupt practices you mr/ms right? We have the worst corrupt leaders who are very insensitive of the governed. Our leaders steal to stupor. Tell me a descent or sane person or leader that will still like Obori? If not for UK court, Ibori will be, maybe by now, contesting to be a chairman of the Board of Trustee of PDP. I believe you or your father is a corrupt person hence your statement. You have right to insult a corrupt person because that person has failed to respect himself.
Go to Kuwait and see the way the government takes care of her citizens.

So, never compare our leaders with other leaders of the world. Which office will you go to in Nigeria, that you will not find corruption? From the get, the get man will request for bribe to allow you access to go in. The secretary is there waiting to know if you will smile on him/her. Go to the bank, from the security guys at the get, they only want to be friendly with you when you grease their hands. what a shame.

overdrive: @demdem easy no dey vex like that.give honour and respect to constituted authority cos only God can appoint a leader.HE knows best

oh really? So God appointed the clueless one to milk Nigeria dry and increase our debt profile with nothing to show for it

Kuwait is a rich country because there are so few population and plenty oil. Not because their leaders are so pure and holy. If nigeria had such a little population and that much oil, bad leaders or good leaders, we'd all be rich.

Not suprising coming from another Johnny-I had no shoes bootlicker
When the same Nairaland&other online platforms were virulent in speaking out about the cabal blocking his ascension,it was okay
We are now childisb&abusive because of highlighting Calamity Jo's bewildering incompetence& corruption

What killed nigeria was the british colonialist who fused so many tribes and so many ethnic groups into one country. If the overpopulation did not kill us, then the internal division (caused by the diversity) explains the mass looting of our funds, bribery and corruption e.t.c. No one should ever compare Nigeria to kuwait.

Amya: Kuwait is a rich country because there are so few population and plenty oil. Not because their leaders are so pure and holy. If nigeria had such a little population and that much oil, bad leaders or good leaders, we'd all be rich.

Wonders shall never end, so we still have sensible people in Nigeria and on Nairaland for that matter.

Is kuwait up to 1/30 of Nigerias population?
Is Nigeria half as rich as Kuwait(consider population)?
Does Kuwait have useless lawless citizens that would keep insulting the government about being corrupt but would both give and take bribe, vandalize amenities, pay for their children to exams, dash money to pastors with private jets and ignore widows etc?
Does kuwait have senseless people that prefer virgins in heaven(that they arent even sure of)?
Does kuwait have tribal goats and bigots as citizens?
This is to those 'good' citizens that would insult leaders, while being part of the problem.

How many times has the ruler abused the rights of the people to express themselves? You are a dummy if you this nonsense. I quite agree a ruler must be respected but must be free of bias.

You just insulted people, dumbazz hypocrite.


This is bordering on the removal of freedom of speech. Unless, the guy was making libelous/hate speech remarks, he shouldnt be in jail.
