Nathaniel is a gospel singer, he's expected to promote the teachings of Jesus Christ which has it's foundation in forgiveness and prayers to one's adversaries
.
The people trying to defame him didn't know about the teachings of Christ too abi? The petition is to sanction those troublemakers and help them live righteously and it's in line with the teachings of Christ too...

He'll lose if he can't prove they're lying.
Stop using scare tactics.
Obviously you don't know the rudiment of law. The onus of proof is on him who allegges.

He is probably pitying them... He has a soft heart.

What they did are actually constitutional crimes.
Not pity but ego... He sees them as ants worth crushing without a sweat since they may not be in his class.
That's the same tactics the affluent use in Nigeria... He'd have sued them if they're well-known or in the same class.

Besides a defamation trial would involve him coming to court and taking the stand... Alot would be blown wide which may require the judge ordering a DNA test.
The trial alone would be high-profiled, bringing unnecessary drama that'll further taint him... I'm sure he doesn't want that. He has a lot to lose.

In all, I think he has no case that's why he didn't sue at all... The cyberstalking and bullying allegations are frivolous and baseless.

I'm into law so I can tell you the defamation allegation is also nonsense if the defendant never substantiated that it's a fact... They never claim it's his child.

He's making a mountain of a molehill.

See as I dey look you like a maggot that should be locked up in Kuje darkest cell.
That forgiveness & prayer was part of why enemies of Jesus killed him at early age. A modern day Christian knows when to joke or forgive. Those idióts on X saying DNA trash ll smell.peppervin prison. And you too go follow chop!
Just dey play!

Stop trying to gaslight him. When it reaches your turn you can choose to keep quiet. He has every right to take someone to court for defaming him

Except they didn't allege... Never claimed it was his child - only said they strike a resemblance.

He's using intimidation tactics to cower them just like the average wealthy Nigerian that thinks he can buy his/her way with money.

I'm sure his lawyers has told him he has no case and that's why resorted to this.

The cyberstalking/bully charges are frivolous and baseless... No competent judge signs off on that.

Lol... I keep telling you, people... Only God truly forgives.

That's why we say "To err is human, but to forgive is Divine".

In any case, this is not about forgiveness... He may have already forgiven them.

However, deterrents are very important.

You see... Without rules and law enforcement, such harmful online behavior will persist and get out of hand.

Aren't you aware that people commit suicide due to such things?!! What if the person lacks the mental strength and capacity to stomach such?!!

I honestly insist that more scapegoats should be made out of online miscreants... People should learn that words and actions have consequences.

Sigh... Now, I see you clearly lack understanding of the true facts of this matter.

Please, do some research!

Several hundreds of people actually said the child resembles Bassey... This is relatively a non-issue, and certainly not the issue here.

These ones specifically went beyond mere speculating and trolling.

They actually claimed that Mercy Chinwo and Nathaniel Bassey had an affair, disguising it as "Musical Collaboration" and studio sessions... That the affair produced that child.

One of them actually accused Mercy Chinwo of trying to on Bassey's child to her husband.

Those who sinned must come forward to ask for forgiveness with the promise that they won't go back to their evil ways so that there will be joy in heavens for the sinner who comes to repentance.

There is consequences for sin and everyone who indulges in sin will stand to give of his sinful nature, God doesn't just forgive if you as the sinner doesn't realize that you are a sinner that needs genuine repentance.

Those sinners should stand for the consequences of their sins so that others won't fall prey to going such route in the future, for every actions there is a reaction (consequences) which is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Do your actions and allow others do their reactions grin

A word they say is enough for the wise.

Yes, he is bitter and proud...!

If in the future, people accuse your wife of giving you a bastard child or accuse you of impregnating another person's wife due to resemblance, avoid such pride and bitterness by laughing with them.

In the meantime, allow a proud and bitter man to handle his own affairs according to what the Nigerian constitution provides.

Thank you.

I'm only stating a trend among the well-to-do... To my own knowledge of the event.

You can show me proof to your last paragraph... From one of the accused in this case.

If the 4 accused actually made direct statements then he can sue them for defamation.

Definitely you are one of those stupid people that defame people in the name of catching cruise. My comment really hit you badly, and that's why you are clapping back. If you are a reasonable being, my comment shouldn't unsettle you.

You have just exposed yourself...

Get a life!

I know Nathaniel personally and I can tell you for free that he didn't come up with this idea on his own.
If this was about making scapegoats or wanting to serve as deterrent he would have sued them to the court directly.
Gospel singers are regarded as workers in the body of christ; just like pastors, evangelists and teachers they are expected to live an examplery life which depicts the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Will Jesus Christ write a petition against his accs?
