BULLCRAP. We as citizens of Nigeria home and abroad would state out views and opinions as we deem fit and necessary and no amount of bulying or gagging or dictatorialism would stop us from freely expressing our views. The era of been coerced to a tight corner is far over.The bill will only witch hunt those not so clever and already on their hit list. For every single citizen robed into this crazey charge,50 more shall rise and fill his/her place. GE/PDP can go Bleep themselves.Nigerians wont be oppressed by this useless bill proposed by thes thieving bastards. |

1stdammy: Yes I am. Nowhere in the world is there a bill that expressly states that mails can be intercepted. That would be a breach of constitutional rights even in Nigeria. An agency can track every other particulars of a data packet but not the content. They can track origin, destination, size etc but definitely bot content. That bill smacks of nothing but oppression. |

Ganoderma: I concur that the bill reeks of the very air of a desperate power-drunk bunch of fools! An administration that produced so-many corruption-laden scandals now playing the saint rifling through people's mails...looking for exactly what? There're avenues to enforcing cyber-crime than invading citizens' privacies but I don forget say Nigeria is a Police State where the Political class bandies its way into power on a wagon of subterfuge, sponsored thuggery and manipulation of votes with pecuniary crumbs and false promises for the masses . To the folks screeching halleluyahs welcoming this bill... Have you thought about the flop side of the misapplication of a powerful institution like this in the hands of scheming politicians and their cronies? Am I saying we should have folded our hands and done nothing about cyber-criminals....NOoooo! But this blatantly invasive stranglehold is not the way to go. And BTW, who are gonna be managing the IT Back-end of the effort? Is it gonna be left with the Civil servants, many of whom are inept and the same hackers could easily run circles around them at the speed of a blink? Or are friendly leeches...the Isrealis, eh? Yeah, yeah...about those pedophiles; they've gotta go... Same with the ATM/Bank network exploiters, identity thieves and the whole malware, ransomware etc family.....we know, we all agree on that..... But death penalties for hackers ?? Haba malam ?! Am i alone in thinking that Nigeria is currently saddled with an ICT-inept, generation of geriatric political "Babas" who have got to go? Make dem pave way for the new generation abeg ! Also, this means they are saying there's no place in a Banana republic like Naija for rehabilitating misdirected above-average intelligence people striving on the other side of the law when caught? The only thing they know na to condemn hackers when folks like Labaran should've been shot ! A man caught stealing on cam and he's up and gallivanting about canvassing for votes...with many others like him, haba? Anyway the hush-hush mode dem take frame the cyber-security infrastructure while bypassing all discourse tells me its another witch-hunting tool sef N.B @DRreal1247 &co Continue eh, keep hailing them without responsible citizenship and deep thoughtful contributions.... Am scrolling forward, yeah, waiting for you in your future circa 3yrs time when i suddenly find the need to jail ur ar.se and part of my evidence for putting you on terrorist watchlist are all these your anti-GEJ rants on N/land ________________________ SEE ARTICLE BELOW Reps kick over $40m Internet surveillance contract May 8, 2013 by John Ameh and Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja Members of the House of Representatives have described as “unconstitutional” the alleged $40m contract the Federal Government awarded to an Israeli firm to monitor Nigerians Internet communications. Minority Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, told The PUNCH on Tuesday that the news of the contract came as a shock to lawmakers. An online medium, Premium Times on April 25, 2013 had reported that the Goodluck Jonathan administration awarded the contract to an Isreali firm, Elbit Systems. According to the report, the project is to help spy on citizens’ computers and Internet communications under the guise of intelligence gathering and national security.” Faulting the project, Gbajabiamila said, “Such a contract, policy or whatever it is called is an illegality.” Though the aim of the contract might be to monitor terrorism and other security threats, Gbajabiamila noted that law must set the limit to the invasion of the privacy of individuals. He argued that under the 1999 Constitution, Nigerians had their right to privacy. Gbajabiamila added, “If you have to interfere with that privacy for the purposes of security, there should be a limit set by law. “What categories of people are to be monitored? Why are you monitoring their communication? Is it for terrorism? These limits have to be set by law.” On whether lawmakers had identified the contract in the budget, the Minority Leader said such a contract would not likely come under easily identifiable sub-heads. He said, “You are not likely to find a specific sub-head where Internet Monitoring or Internet Surveillance is mentioned. “The government would have probably tucked it under a sub-head like security gadgets or communication equipment or just security.” The lawmaker also said a bill against invasion of privacy was in the works and that it would be due for first reading soon. He said, “We are already working on a bill to address such fears of interference with the privacy of the people.” SOURCE: http://www.punchng.com/news/reps-kick-over-40m-internet-surveillance-contract/ also check: https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-net/2013/nigeria#.VO3-qZJQKmA

Can someone please educate me? A similar bill was passed in November 2014. What is the difference between that bill passed by the Senate in November 2014 and the new bill before the senate now? See the reference for the previous bill: www.vanguardngr.com/2014/11/last-senate-passes-cyber-crime-bill-law/ www.thisdaylive.com/articles/taming-cybercrime-in-nigeria-through-legislation/192611/ Please quote me in your replies. Thanks. |
