Gradually we will be there

Very soon they will start regulating nairaland.

Sebi some nairaland mods dey support buhari, by the time the amount of money seun makes is greatly affected by this useless government everybody's eyes will clear

I will never pay tax from the commercial usage of my personal laptop i bought with my own personal money.

fratermathy:
No harm here. Let's stop blowing things out of proportion.

Please do not make these rather Ill informed remarks.

This is a problem. A very significant problem. Just as problematic and significant is how this was proposed, sponsored and passed with assent by the president without any public hearing of any sort.

When governments attempt to index and regulate certain professional endeavours in this sort of underhanded manner, There's a problem.

A really huge problem.

Shithole!

Instead of encouragment, Nigeria rather prefers to make it unfavorable and shut it down.

Say No to regulation of social media.

Is this the Change we voted for?

The Government is going to destroy an Industry it never helped build. All ICT service providers ( whether a firm, student, or Freelancer) would have to pay money monthly to be regulated by the CPN ( Computer professionals( registration Council) of Nigeria.).....

Just Imagine.

Take a look at the Website of a Body regulating IT professionals.....SMH -- www.cpn.gov.ng

Buhari is a dullard of first class order but you need license to practice. If that is what they are asking you to pay, quiet and pay

Knowing our potential for excess in this country, it wouldn't take a lot for 'regulation' to become censure.

I stand with buhari till 2023, una think say na only una wicked abi, do me I do u , I will personally vote for him as retaliation

Thanks for that. People should be regulated and be legit. It's not even expensive.

Less than $60 for yearly dues.

This body has been existing for a long time now. I'm surprised at Nigerians.

I've been a member since my days in school. We also have NCS.

Both are the equivalent of BCS and ACS.

They exist to protect exploitation of IT people from crooked employers.

I don't know why it's surprising folks here on NL. I think this came a bit late sef

The law, not the body, is what is being contested here.

Its not a bad thing.

Am only worried that they will add corruption to it and kill the IT industry.

Not only that.. they lack the capability to regulate freelancers..

Yinxies:
We no go gree!

The only way man pikin dey survive you want to come and regulate. What are they regulating sef

You no dey hear Yahoo boy no lapi? Go offline bro and repent[color=#006600][/color]

eleojo23:
So Chinedu who is running a small computer training center near my house should go and register?

And Ayo who owns a cyber cafe/photocopy shop along my street should also go and register?

This law is vague
They should outline the level and scale of service that fall within the provisions of that law.
Does it apply to people who provide these services on a large scale or on any scale at all?

Yes Ayo, Chinedu and even Waziri will need to be registered and regulated. It saves them.

Wonder why ICAN, NMA, COREN all exist as a body.

So you pay every year, whether you get job or not. How does government support IT people? Do they give grants?

I am sure Bill gates and others got some funding from their government. All our government thinks about is how to take.

Good news! It would save us from bloggers like the one who thinks money can be drawn from ATM using MTN sim pack

Brotherly I read IT professionals, Not people like those you mentioned. According to that letter chinedu and Ayo are free [color=#006600][/color]

I support the law. Let all local content providers be registered. Do you know how much Nigeria is losing to the outside world? Mastercard with a company I won't on this thread are responsible for National ID card meanwhile we have local companies they can do that.

I'm on the road now. I'll soon post something they will shock you from the body.

It tells you how much should be paid to an IT professional be it employed or consulting. Also based on levels and cadre.

If all IT professionals come together as one, no one will bamboozled.

The body has been fighting for this a long time now but no one listened.

About time.

Would they be able to catch all this internet fraudulent? Like Huspupi and co


They are spoiling our country and called G-boy and wire wire. I love this implementation only if it will be properly carried out.

Oya guys is time for legitimate work

The website looks ugly sef

Newbiee:
IPOB no go kii pesin for this Buhari matter.
President is trying to bring local content into IT contracting of Government services for the benefit of the Nigerian IT practitioners, you are here wailing without minding to know the motive behind the executive order. Or do you prefer us to always rely on foreigners to provide service for our IT industry.

You must not wail on everything.

Yes the website is not the best. It's time for you to sell yourself to them if you are legit and worth your onions.

It is not about what the individual members gain, rather what the government gains from the bodies.

IT professionals, what are you waiting for?
Concentrate on perpetually hacking this website.
This is cyber war declared by an illiterate govt.
Prove Roentgen that they are on war very far behind enemy line here....
They have abandoned Shekau for you. Mmm
Even here, they will get their usual 100% failure score.

Forget those propaganda, that organization has been in existence for long, I studied computer science and I have registered since 2014, so stop the crying and concentrate on better things!
