Former Niger State Governor, Dr. Babangida Aliyu has backed the government's decision to use the military to monitor all social media activities in the country.

Aliyu, who was governor of Niger from May 2007 to May 2015, noted on Sunday that Nigerians should not condemn the actions of the Federal Government, considering the fact that if some of these contents are not well monitored on social media, there is a tendency that it could be used to create religious and ethnic tension amongst Nigerians.

"I support monitoring of the social media by the security agencies to control negative stories that can influence the lives of unsuspecting subscribers to do the wrong thing they never intended to do.

You cannot say negative things about a person or an institution especially when they are false without being challenged.

Some governments close the social media or part of it when they are in crisis in order to save their countries from collapse because of people who may not understand the use of social media," he said.

Does he know what social media is? frog eye.

yes it should be monitored since people are abusing it. foolish talks and coarse jest like flat..head, skulminer, cannibal,head warmers,pigs an idiots and others we are seeing everyday on nairaland and other social media platforms are the reasons i think sanity has to be brought back to the cyber world.
we human do things better when monitored. so nobody should think this move is politically inspired.

Corrupt frog

Hate is the opposite of love and until equality, justice and fairness is restored in the country there must be hate speeches all over..
That's the only way the oppressed reduce their pains..
Meanwhile, why must it be the military and not the police? Are we at war already?

Politically useless persons talking

If you like monitor only nairaland, I don't care. But first let the government give Nigeria a flourishing economy and a country to be proud of. Then u can assert intelligence anywhere and we would hail and not wail.

all these old men sef

Yeye fowl...

Over two years ago it wasn't a problem. What changed?

Why didnt you support it during your tenure?

We should monitor him after he finished our money in Minna, after all that traditnal titles SUDENGI NUPE, TALBA MINNA, CHIEF THIEF SORRY SERVANT.

I HOPE EFCC WILL PUT HIM IN PRISON

If anybody monitor me i will lead them astrayed... I thought it's freedom of speech (communication)

If the security agencies started monitoring the social media means no room for freedom of speech again na no sir
The hate speech is emanating from them the government officials not the people
