can this happen in Nigeria

The Ghana Police Service has said it is considering shutting down social media services in the country on November 7, the day of the general elections.

According to the Inspector General of Police, John Kudalor, the abuse of social media platforms by both political parties and ordinary Ghanaians has often created unnecessary tension in the country.

He believes that given the strain that preparations towards the elections have put on the country’s security apparatus, it would be unwise to ignore the potential of social media as an incendiary point for violence.

“At one stage I said that if it becomes critical on the eve and also on the election day, we shall block all social media as other countries have done. We’re thinking about it,” John Kudalor said.

In February, the Ugandan government shut down social media in the country in what president Yoweri Museveni called a “security measure to avert lies” as he was re-elected for a fifth term in office.

This was repeated when he was sworn into office in May, with many human rights activists advocates accusing the government of suppressing free speech. Jonh Kudalor said that the police were following the example set by other countries but added that the police was also mulling over the possibility of setting up social media accounts of their own.

He said this would enable them to counter the actions of potential ‘troublemakers’ who might compromise security operations during the elections.

“We are also thinking about the other alternative that the police should be IT compliant and get our own social media [account] to be able to stop these things on time,” John Kudalor explained. “We are looking at the variables and come D-Day, we’ll come out with a decision,” he added.

really on auto pilot the presidency is just confused

mikolo80:
her job is to pay salaries and issue allocation to states and ministries.not policy.that's more cbn forte.not everyone will be a star like okonjo (star wen still fail last last)

its interesting when all pundits are saying Nigeria is going to recession you are saying the minister should just pay only salary

pathetic buhari just make all my zombies brothers run away from nairaland

do we really have minister of finance or kachikwu and buhari have taken her job
in this time of economic hardship we need to hear more policy statements from the minister finance or is she part of nlc strike
most of buhari ministers are frustrated the president might just be too stubborn to listen to them or is the EAR INFECTION AFFECTING THE PRESIDENCY

iamVirus:
na anointing be this?

celebrity senator
maybe the way he is praying will heal buhari ear infection

can i get a physical atm card from the site

The film that APC is acting we are watching

He will celebrate the fake chibok girls and fictitious money from efcc recovered loot

Return to which school
Information reaching us is that they preparing visa for the girl to go abroad for medical check up
All is part of the scheme to hide her from the public

The whole thing is lie no girl was rescued nobody know her
Why the presidency hiding her parents

It's a big scam only zombies will believe such news

I just watch the video
I can't see the mother of the girl

The money efcc has realize is more than that why borrowing
Abi the efcc drama is scam

Interesting

4reala:
shey na Lagbaja be d father of the girl, abi which one be mascurade again for presidential villa.



Hhhmmm! Thinking...... its like they are covering so dat pple will not recognize d supposed parents and burst their lies. Cos I hav a feeling dat datz not her parent and all this are fraud

you just speak my mind

Remii:
no matter how good the news is, you deserve your life and privacy, the same reason couples go on honey moon, celebrants tell people they are resting, if you allow media, that little girl will not rest for the next one week,

but when the girls where missing they were busy showing us the face of the mothers crying

diegwu01:
What exactly looks fishy to you? What is so hard for you believe that a Missing school child has been found??

this why i dont belive the story
when buhari was campigning sahara reporters is showing the parents of the allege missing girls crying
now they have seen the girl why are they hiding the parents of the girl?

why are they hiding the face of the mother
this governmet should respect there followers
this is childish script

anytaij:
That's to show you say na arrangi nothing like that. Quote me ooo I no send face.

arrangi serious one
truth will be out the next few days

babadee1:
Ok now I know you're not a wailer. You're just a troll with too much time on your hands. No be only Aso rock, na Olumo rock.

don't be in a hurry
Nigerians are confused about the rescue of the girl thats why we are asking basic questions
before the last election sahara reporters send their reporters to chibok to get all the stories
since the release of the girl we are only seeing her flying jets around from governors office to asorock
i dont know what the government is hiding

Chiaka:
Just a day after Aisha Buhari gave chibok families some millions the following day a chibok girl was found after 2 years. Looks to me like it is all played out.

this are the common sense questions that needs answer

babadee1:
Fear don dey catch wailers. Anything that can possibly make Buhari look good must be resisted by force by fire! Even if it means many innocent girls will continue to languish in captivity, so what? As long as Buhari does not get any credit Nigeria can go to blazes for all they care.

its not about wailing we are just asking common sense questions
why is the government hiding the girls from public in aso rock?

Remii:
let us be civil, if the girl is our relation will you not protect her, you want journalists to run her tired? She deserves some rest and privacy too

i never hide good news in my life
am shocked with your reasoning
but its good for cnn and bcc to show the parents when they are ccrying but its not good for them to celebrate the release of the girl

Tokety7:

Shut ur trap Mr show pictures and wait till when all our news network will carry the news latter this evening. U will have all ur pictures by then.

mr insult take it easy
its only common sense question am asking
dont take it personal

Angelb4:
If they were your family members, would you allow their pics to go into the public like that? Ignorance is a disease.

if its my family member we will be in church with all camera men on us thanking GOd, two years kidnapped no be beans
the government is telling the girl what to say in public
just wait and see how the truth will be revealed
about the fake girl

maoolakanm:
Government is hiding your father. Useless BIAFRUDS.

bro take it easy no be fight we are just asking common sense questions
why is the government hiding the girl and mother from public

Tokety7:

1) use ur brain. That they are not the same doesn't mean they still don't have some girls in captive.
2) watch network news at 9pm today or channels at 10 pm. Come back to tell me If u don't see the mother or child. That ur photographer refused to take pictures doesn't mean the govt is culpable. Again use ur brain.

so sahareporters deliberately take that shots too
you guys can believe anything from the apc government

Interesting apc drama
The girl she is in aso Rock the government officials don't want journalist to snap the mother and the girl
What are the government hiding?

Tokety7:

Another foolish and senseless response.
Is boko haram of today the same as 2 yrs ago? After constant bombardment from the military, are they not currently in disarray?
Just stick to ur shameless stance which is " chibok is scam" instead of raising childish nonsensical questions.
U lot have lost it. U are only grasping on straws.

Interesting if they are not the same two years ago where is the other girls
And why the government is hiding the face of the girl and mother in ask rock
