Weekend Commonsense with Dr. Sandra C. Duru

Online Chochocho Consequences & Avoidance of Cybercrimes Educational Awareness Series

Social Media Legal Awareness Series – Charge 3: Cyberstalking & Cyber Harassment

We’ve already dissected:
• Charge 1: Witness Tampering & Intimidation
• Charge 2: Criminal Conspiracy

My beloved lovers of truth, if you’ve been following closely, you already know that this series is not “dragging” or “clapback content.”
This is legal education with evidence and experience, designed for both the smart learner and the careless keyboard warrior.

To my brilliant fans, legal minds, and those sliding into my inbox for clarity, this is your Weekend Commonsense reminder:

We are now on CHARGE 3: Cyberstalking and Cyber Harassment, and the part where the “digital violence” gets legally exposed. Walaih!
Because this online chochocho isn’t just messy, it’s criminal.

CHARGE 3: CYBERSTALKING & CYBER HARASSMENT

Relevant Law:
• Section 24, Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015

Definition:
The repeated use of digital platforms to harass, threaten, intimidate, defame, disrupt, stalk, discredit, or invade someone’s privacy.

This includes:
• Publishing lies over and over
• Threatening someone through comments or DMs
• Sharing falsehoods, receiving compensation as a reward to cyberbully, criminally defame, twist facts, exchange of information ( criminal breach of contract ) …
• Inciting others to attack or troll

Penalty:
₦7 Million Fine
AND/OR
3–5 Years Imprisonment

Reminder:
Every “screenshot with wicked intention,” every “false story published on your blog,” every “every false narrative or false allegations in form of video podcasts or videos shared to shame, harrass or intimidate”, is evidence, not entertainment.

The internet keeps receipts. The law calls them exhibits. It doesn’t matter if you have deleted them, they may have been stored, downloaded and saved.

“When your fingers become weapons of wickedness, don’t be surprised when justice knocks without a warning.” - Dr. Sandra Duru

Let this be a wake-up call! Don’t let likes and retweets land you in a courtroom. Don’t trade your future for cheap fame. Every single words spoken or written must be proven!

Let’s stay woke, wise, and lawful, because the law is watching, and so is history.

He who alleges MUST prove!

Stay tuned for Charge 4 in our next episode.
Until then, type wisely, post consciously, and educate others using this series.

There are certain comments I intentionally ignore, and not because I’m offended, but because I’ve learned that it’s a waste of time trying to educate a few creatures who belong in the wild, yet somehow found their way onto smartphones and Wi-Fi.

When dogs, monkeys, and parrots begin to act more coordinated, loyal, and intelligent than some so-called “humans” on social media, it signals a crisis of identity. A serious one.

It’s even more disturbing when a presidential candidate lacks basic understanding of legal procedures, and worst still, when someone wearing a wig and gown (a lawyer who is not a law student, supposedly!) opens their mouth only to sound more daft, irrational, and ill-informed than a drunk chicken trying to recite the constitution.

Samuel Emeka, chaiiii! Where did you exchange your brain? Was it during a promo? Did you mistakenly drop it while trying to trend?

“When senseless human beings begin to act worse than animals, it’s not madness, it’s social media addiction mixed with ego, ignorance, and a sprinkle of bad upbringing.” - Dr. Sandra C Duru

May we never become the full package of disaster, daft, dumb, arrogant, unteachable, liar, proudly uninformed, corrupt, loud and wrong, emotionally unintelligent, and confidently foolish.

May we never be so blinded by ego that we gather fans instead of friends, followers instead of accountability, and noise instead of wisdom.

And may God, in His infinite mercy, delete from our lives every human whose face looks like the trailer of their wicked heart, ugly in soul, heavy in pretense, and only loyal to the weight of our wallet, not the welfare of our mind!

Because it’s not just about making money, it’s about not losing your mind while at it. Amen and commonsense!

My Tribe of Truth Lovers and Silent Achievers

I salute you, my people, my tribe of truth lovers, commonsense carriers, and silent achievers who move mountains without making noise. You are the reason hope still breathes in this chaotic world. You inspire me daily with your strength, integrity, and quiet excellence. Thank you for standing firm in truth, even when it’s not popular.

Let’s get into some soul-shaking commonsense for today:

Be spiritually and physically rugged, so they don’t destroy or kill you and “repent.”

Yes, let that sink in.

In this era where manipulation wears a crown and deception dresses in designer suits, you must be both spiritually aware, discerning and physically prepared. Some people will destroy you with bold-faced lies, then go to church and shout “Hallelujah!” as if heaven doesn’t see. They’ll lie, ruin reputations, sabotage destinies, and then post Bible verses like it’s a cleanse.

But the Bible already warned us in Matthew 10:16, “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.”

You are not paranoid. You are prepared. You are not aggressive. You are aware.

Ruggedness isn’t violence, it’s vigilance. It’s the ability to protect your peace and still walk in purpose. Fast. Pray. Think. Train. Question. Grow. Learn. Don’t just survive, outsmart and outlast.

“If you don’t build your inner strength, the world will break you and blame you for it.” - Dr. Sandra C Duru

So rise, my people. Rugged in truth. Rugged in wisdom. Rugged in grace. Because your silence is powerful, but your awareness is deadly to the wicked.

Let them know that you may be silent, but you are not sleeping.

With love, wisdom, and holy commonsense,

“Walaih, I love her deeply, and more than even Auntie Oby. I could never hate my beautiful sister. I gave her nothing but love and wise counsel.

What she was told today, and fined ₦5 million for is exactly what I offered her for free when she came to me.

I even volunteered to facilitate and sponsor the peace and reconciliation process. But she looked down on me… saw me as just a village girl. Now life has given her the same advice, but with a price tag.” - Prof. Mgbeke

EDUCATIONAL ANALYSIS: MISCONDUCT, NOT MEDIA DRAMA

From the lens of the United Nations Inter-Parliamentary Union (UN IPU) and ongoing court proceedings, one thing is indisputably clear, as the issue at hand is one of alleged misconduct, not the theatrical displays of satire, emotional propaganda, or viral content engineered to distract the public from the legal and institutional realities.

The rule of law remains intact and supreme. Let it be known that social media noise is not judicial evidence, and public opinion is not a substitute for legal reasoning.

To those parading themselves as journalists, media commentators, or even self-appointed activists, especially those dancing in jubilation over what should serve as a cautionary tale, I urge you to return to the drawing board.

I will advice them to consider enrolling in proper journalism certification programs, and more importantly, study the basics of legal literacy. It is intellectually, morally and ethically irresponsible to misrepresent legal processes for political gain or public manipulation.

Remember, when a judge offers commentary, whether it falls under ratio decidendi (the core reasoning for a decision) or obiter dictum (an advisory remark or legal opinion), it is not for the gallery, but it is for those who understand jurisprudence. Judicial language is layered. Read between the lines. Think deeper.

Of course, let’s not forget that the principle of separation of powers still stands, and the Senate, just like the Judiciary retains its constitutional independence.

This legal matter may be far from over. The higher the stakes, the more sober the approach should be.

“May the Almighty bestow upon Nigerian political officeholders, opposition figures, and elder statesmen the discernment and prudence necessary to impart sound counsel and constructive guidance to the younger generation. It must also be unequivocally stated that the mere attainment of formal education does not equate to true enlightenment or intellectual maturity.” - Prof. Mgbeke

Civic And Legal Education Post (Without Prejudice) For public awareness, educational purposes, and civic enlightenment.

As a scholar, advocate for justice, and witness in ongoing related legal proceedings (without prejudice and without commenting on the merits of any pending criminal case), I wish to share a brief civic update from today’s legal ruling that has stirred public discourse, especially concerning Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and the powers of the Nigerian Senate.

Today, Friday, July 4, 2025, the Federal High Court in Abuja, presided by Justice Binta Nyako, delivered a significant judgment affirming the independent constitutional powers of the Nigerian Senate to discipline its members for unethical conduct under its rules and ethics.

Here Are The Key Legal Highlights:

• Affirmation of Senate Power:
The Court held that under Senate Rules, the Senate President has the authority to allocate seats and that members are only allowed to speak from the seats assigned to them. In this case, it was found that Senator Natasha did not speak from her designated seat during the February 20th, 2025 session, and hence, her contributions were considered out of order.

• Contempt of Court Finding:
Justice Nyako found Senator Natasha guilty of civil contempt for violating a restraining court order issued on April 4, 2025, which barred public commentary on a pending suit. Despite that, she posted a satirical letter on Facebook on April 27, 2025.

She has now been fined ₦5 million, to be paid to the Federal Government.

The Court also ordered her to publish a public apology in two national newspapers and on her page within seven days.

• No Imprisonment Ordered:
The judge clarified that since the contempt was in a civil matter, the punishment is not imprisonment but rather a monetary fine and public apology.

• Senate Autonomy Maintained:
Interestingly, while the judge urged the Senate to recall her and allow her to apologize to her colleagues and represent her constituency, no specific timeframe or enforcement mandate was issued. In my own civic interpretation, this sounds more like a judicial suggestion than a binding directive. Hence, the Senate retains full discretion in line with its internal rules and the Nigerian Constitution on when, how, and whether to act.

Why This Matters?

This ruling reinforces the separation of powers, upholding the Senate’s institutional autonomy in managing its internal affairs, including member discipline. It also highlights the importance of respecting court orders, especially by public officeholders, and offers a vital lesson on contempt of court, due process, and the interplay between individual rights and institutional discipline.

As concerned citizens, media practitioners, students of law, and public observers, we must always seek to understand how our systems of governance function, objectively and constitutionally.

Let the rule of law prevail, and may all institutions act in wisdom and fairness, as guided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Weekend gbedu loading and tomorrow we will continue with our Commonsense legal series #3.

Let the Law Speak: Beyond Satire, Sentiments, and Cyber Showmanship

Akani Paul Otu and those in similar echo chambers,

How I sincerely wish you, and many others blinded by emotional sensationalism could be properly educated on the doctrine of the rule of law and how it distinctly applies to this matter.

Then perhaps you would understand that this is not about satire, sponsored propaganda, stalking, harassment, cyberbullying, cheap blackmail, or the theatrics of political showmanship.

This is about constitutional order, judicial reasoning (whether ratio decidendi or obiter dictum), due process, and the independent powers of our institutions, especially the Senate as a coordinate arm of government, guided by its own Standing Rules and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

When one is grounded in legal literacy, they stop misinterpreting disciplinary mechanisms as victimhood and cease celebrating judicial reprimand as political vindication.

There’s still a long legal and procedural hurdle ahead, perhaps even an indefinite one at that, depending on how the institutions choose to act in accordance with the principles of separation of powers.

This is not a war of emotions; it is a test of institutional integrity.

Let the law, not noise speak.
