Nigeria MPs 'won't pass' social media bill

Nigeria's Senate president says a controversial social media bill being considered by MPs will not be passed.
Human rights group and activists have described the bill, which aims to punish anyone who "propagates false information" on electronic media, as an attempt to muzzle free speech.
Bukola Saraki told a social media conference in Lagos that parliament recognises the role of social media in Nigeria's development.
The proposed bill, presented to the senate last December, was "dead on arrival," Mr Saraki added.
It proposes up to seven years in jail or a $25,000 fine for anyone found to be sending "abusive messages".
At the time, the hashtag #NoToSocialMediaBill was used to campaign against the proposal.
Nigeria has a vibrant civil society, with many activists who use social media for their campaigns. It has the largest number of mobile phone users in Africa.

Cambridge students vote to return looted Nigerian statue

Students say a Nigerian statue of a bronze cockerel, which is now displayed at a Cambridge University college, should be returned, according to a report by the Guardian newspaper. 
The statue was looted in the 19th Century and is part of the Benin bronzes taken at that time. Jesus College student Ore Ogunbiyi led the campaign. 
She says that the statue should be repatriated to "weed out the colonial legacies", the Guardian reports. But it is not clear if the college will be sending the cockerel back.
