Paraphrasing the words of Aondover Eric Msughter, “Today, one of the growing trends on broadcast media is the dissemination of hate speech. It is believed that hate speech is present everywhere in Nigeria and has an effect on the citizens. Broadcast media is one of the powerful mediums to appeal to both the literate and the illiterate, thus the propagation of hate speech in broadcast media portends a great danger to the future of Nigeria. In Nigeria, how hate speech is permeating the broadcast media is becoming worrisome, and needs urgent attention. This will go a long way in averting the escalation of hate speech in society in particular and Nigeria at large.
