Don't worry, all they will find spying on Nigerians internet activity is "how to make money online", "how to toast a girl", "who slapped davido?", "who snapped picture with davido", "tontoh dike this, wizkid that" and ofcourse a whole lot of scam emails and porn

Very God move indeed & its lond overdue. In the West, We are watched & recorded 24/7.

That is why crimes are very low. Commit crime, u will be caught.

Be afraid & be very afraid or if u got nothing to hide, then nothing to worry about.

Jonathan should have awarded the contract to a Nigerian. Wasting our money. Mtcheeeew.

Christmasdon: Jonathan should have awarded the contract to a Nigerian. Wasting our money. Mtcheeeew.

which Nigerian... a system that has already and is still working for the Israelis, its better to get theirs and then reverse-engineer it while training your own men..
The company says it will take 2 years to deploy, so imagine having to develop from the scractch that will take about 10years..and if awarded to a Nigerian coy with this changing regimes only God know how long that will be..Its the norm to steal or buy advanced technology all over the world : the only difference is USA will convince you to become an American... convincing people to become Nigerians no be today...

right from time GEJ is a failure criminal Nigerians yet to know this fisher man

50calibre: Why Israeli company? GEJ had better be carefully, Israel has no interest of anyone in mind except for their own Zionist agenda.

I would have preferred an American or European or even asian company

Bros Asian? Haba na. Have you forgotten the Nigerian Sateliite that was lost orbiting? I would say some Nigerians should be trained to continue when their contracts expires.
That way he shall create further employment and recycle our Petrodollars.

It's sad that such a thing is given to foreigners!

wats ur beaf wit d isrealis

This is a good move.......all developed nations do it. Especially those who are exposed to terrorist threats.

Even without this, we should have been doing this to stop this yahoo yahoo menace that has dragged our names throught the mud all these years.

who will they be able to do that, if they dont even understand nigeria. IT contract should go to nigerian abroad. On if nigeria should monitor nigerian.. that is debatable. i believe they should solve the satellite pictures issue. the security issue will be solve.. the satellite pictures is the reason for the security issue.

Having a working monitoring system is one thing. Having same contracted to another country's government is another. Whatever happened to National Security? The world has come to the age of cyber wars and having Nigerians' on-line information managed this way is not only an invasion of citizens' privacies but also high level threat to National Security.

baby_123: Israel will spend more time using Nigeria's money to spy on the Nigerian government. This is like paying someone to spy on you. Who does this? How dumb. GRJ is becoming a dictator. This is why he can't stay in Aso rock pass 2015. Its time for him to go. That 40million should have been used on other things like healthcare. We know bokoharam doesn't use internet.lmao.

Who said boko boiz dosent use internet,is that what they told you.how then do they post their videos of threat message on youtube.and by the way is the way for cases like this.after all the whole responsibility is on him.can this happen during abacha's rigime? NO!

taharqa: Good Move....long overdue. Time to beta track d Boko ijiots and oda terroists electronically.. The law shld howeva be tiltd to beta protect d Privacy of ordinary law abiding persons b4 d 2 year time lag for the full actualisatn of dis move

If this is all in boko haram's name, i thought dey where a group dat dosent believe in western education? So ow do dey know about internet wen dey didnt go to school? Or is jonathan now telling us that boko haram isn't who dey claim to be OR boko haram accusations arent commited by boko haram OR he dosent know exactly who is behind dese attacks?
If boko haram dosent blive in western education deyy shouldn't be on the internet bcoz dey shuld b illetrates! So either!
1) Boko haram members are lairs and av internet capabilities, so they are really faceless and courseless. So what exactly is the amnesty for?
2) Boko haram attacks are not commited by boko haram but by pple with internet capabilities dat d ggovt secretly knows about and has been innocently blaming boko haram.
3) Boko haram is funded by jonathan's administration and d 40million dollars will neva b accounted for

nig2change: Sure and steady. We will get there as a nation. Imagine DSS, JTF and the Police prempt terrorist. Then there should be technology transfer.so that Nigerians can determine how every aspects of our security is being run.

Let us STOP deluding ourselves!
Even America that is "all knowing", has NOT PREEMPTED terrorist, ....or is it not every week that one terrorist or the other Bombs them?
Even the Israelis themselves have NOT completely solved their own security problems in the Middle East ...or have they?

How come China does not hav these kind of Terrorist problem?
Could it be a "self-inflicted wound" that Nigeria is fighting?

Like someone said, Cutting-off your Nose, because you want to SPITE your face, does not sound very intelligent to me.

If our Government will FIRST, discharge its responsibility (Roads, Hospitals, Education, Employment, Water, e.t.c) to its citizens, using these wasted or looted sums of money, we 'may' have little need to make all these foreign countries/companies, RICHER, at the expense of our people!

But judging from the comments of most Nigerians here, l guess we still have a VERY VERY LONG WAY to go!

I cry for my contiri.

Lastpage!

father forgive them for they know not what they do.

SmoothLIFE: Niger-Area takes another new LOW!

Only Ghanaian RULE can SAVE West Africa!!!

tiny ghana wants to save west africa. Abeg first save your black colour

good move. one of the few thns GEJ hz done dat is reasonable.if its done sincerely wtout d usual taint of corruption n politics,then i see an improvement in security in d near future..suffice it to say dat intelligence gathering is critical to security n electronic surveillance is critical..USA, China n oda pregressives are using it so i dnt see any reason to fear..it hz its own dwnside.d advantages outweighs any demerits at dz tym

This is madnesss, one of the major problem btw super powers is, they can't share intelligent. 4 GEJ he can pay foreigner to do this. I dey laugh ooooo

Tocheagle: tiny ghana wants to save west africa. Abeg first save your black colour

sorry my friends, African political integration is not only a joke but a fallacy.

Now combine this with the Cambridge analytica scandal and it all makes sense

Hypocrites everywhere on nairaland. Smh

Internet was better controlled then than now that everything is Arab control..
