Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has recently shared his thoughts on internet trolls and criticism during a talk show.
The comedian discussed how he handles negative comments from social media users while appearing on HipTV to talk about his shift from comedy to politics.
Seyi explained, “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,” he explained.
Seyi Law pointed out the distinction between personal attacks and defamation. He advised everyone to refrain from making defamatory statements without evidence.
He said, “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,” Seyi Law concluded.
