Cyberbullying is a crime

According to a Nigerian writer and startup founder, Prince Ihemegbulam, every crime comes with punishment. He however noted that Nigerians were angry over the economic hardship. In his words:

"Well all are in the mix of their own unreasonableness. Obviously the anger is a spin off of current economic hardship and the fact that some persons saw this incompetence incoming and for that labeled ‘guilty’ those who supported the current government in the last election - one would have argued against it if the current administration had a solid grip on handling the economy or even governance (popular opinion).
Nonetheless cyber bullying is a crime and every crime comes with punishment. Personally I do not have resentment towards anyone for their choice of candidate however I may distance myself from a fellow whose ideology wholly contradicts my moral or ethical values - conversations around election in Nigeria uncover how some persons are morally bankrupt with a full doze of tribalism."
