We should be careful with what we say. It's very risky.

Phone tapping in Nigeria has serious implications for citizens' privacy and freedom of expression. The Lawful Interception of Communications Regulations, 2019, grants broad powers to intercept communications on vague grounds like "national security" and "economic wellbeing", without adequate judicial oversight

Implications for Nigerian Citizens?

Privacy Violations: Mass surveillance infringes on citizens' right to privacy, guaranteed under Section 37 of Nigeria's 1999 Constitution.

Freedom of Expression: Unlawful phone tapping can chill free speech, as citizens may self-censor due to fear of being monitored.

Abuse of Power: Surveillance powers can be misused against political opponents, journalists, and civil society actors.

Impact on 2027 General Elections?

- *Electoral Integrity*: Misuse of intercepted data for intimidation or disinformation can undermine electoral integrity.
- *Political Instability*: Unchecked surveillance can fuel political tensions and instability.
- *Citizen Trust*: Widespread surveillance can erode trust in government and institutions

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Bola Tinubu to withdraw the Lawful Interception of Communications Regulations, 2019, citing concerns over mass surveillance and human rights violations

I see evidence here as arrangee. Guns were shot nobody was injured. Nobody could identify any of the gun men.

Some countries in Africa are not even upto Lagos state in terms of population

I am so surprised when I saw it on nairaland that some people are saying they don't want Ooni to be the leader. However, Sultan and Ooni have been made the leaders of Nigerian Traditional leaders council for year and there was no complaint. Does it mean they don't complain because they accept Sultan as their leader? In the actual sense Igbo has no king.

Razzness:
No Shari'a court in Nigeria has ever beheaded or stoned anyone to death. Moreover, criminal cases like rape and murder are not tried in Shari'a courts, they go straight to a state or federal high court.

But people' businesses are being destroyed eg beer. Were people forced to drink beer?

danijesus:
This was not related to the assassination attempt on obi...

Go and say it to the police since you know about it. Some of you just talk carelessly.

I want to disagree. Sometimes when you are traveling you get to some villages and there will be no network on your phone. Does it mean in those villages no polling units?

Day169:
With the recent developments, shouldn't Mexico and Nigeria be on the list?

perhaps you can put the name of your village instead of saying Nigeria. People don't value what they have.

floss:
Malami will rather beg a dead Buhari for help that ask a whistleblower like Sowore the road to the mosque….

At always like that a drowning man will even struggle to hold a straw in case it will help

Millions of registered voters' names are on voters register, how is it possible to remove obi's supporters' names? Obi that cannot win his own party's primary.

Peter obi's manhood again? Why is it always easy to steal only his own manhood? Let me check my cupboard.

Hahahahahahahaha. They have to fail.

God forbid that Obi will become president. He talks carelessly and when they ask him how he will fix a problem, he begins to beat about the bush quoting inaccurate statistics. He though buying groundnuts will make people vote for jis party. What others have done that we rebukes them.

I think Adeleke is unintelligent and this is affecting him. You employed a firm to audit your workers and finances of the state at end the end of the day government who employed the firm is the one that is guilty.

If all us know God and we are all doing what God wants there will be no religious leaders.
If nobody is committing sin, we all know the word of God then the religion itself will become useless.

This is what people called rada rada. Very nonsensical but at the same not unexpected. You are going to see more shortly before and shortly after their primary you will see more rada rada. They will fight dirty dirtier dirtiest.
Obi's followers are toxic and I think Atiku"s followers learnt it from them. We are watching and praying that they should continue.
Good night

zegxy:
In your wildest imagination, you being an educated fellow expect ADC a party formed about 7 months ago to win the Abuja LGA council elections?

Haba you are far more intelligent than this now

Even with your so-called education you don't know that ADC was not formed last year? Hahahaha.

A house that divides against itself can't stand. ADC is divided
Atiku's son left his father
El z Rufai's son left his father.
They are crying

Very nice.
I am happy ADC is disgraced
Even PDP has a say
Condemned politicians failed woefully
How market?

Always coming here to complain after every election. Do your homework very well. Follow the winning party. Stop complaining

Both of them are not Worthy of my vote. Let Tinubu finish his first and second terms. Amaevhi the hungry man with big belly.

iwaeda:
I pity the youth who helped in manipulating, rejoice now, your future is being stolen from you. I saw the mutilated results and I laugh, Nigeria has a long rope to climb. You can laugh at other parties and mock everyone. Remember the story of tortoise.

Are you not tired of making this type of statement anytime your party loses. After 2023 election you were here saying things like this. After every electon you wil come here with emotional statement. When will you grow? If you are doing the same thing every time and you are expecting change, you are deceiving yourself. Change your way. Anyone obi supports must fail. He has no good record.

Gab1976:
Does the ristiction not hold him, Was he a register voter or INEC officer. What was his businees in the polling unit.

As the number citizen he has the right to move out. Did he vote? As the number citizen he has the right to see what is going on. If there is any security issue you will still mention his name. So because he moved out and that's why your jolly party lost? Stop complaining

kingsways:
Wike has absolutely no business going near any polling station!

He is not an INEC official
He is not a security agent
He is not even a registered voter in the FCT

Did he vote?
Did he intimidate anyone?
Did he buy vote?
What is your problem about his movement?
Accept defeat and stop complaining

They have started. Bunch of losers will have one excuse or the other. Failure. Condemned iron politicians

franchasng:
Nigerians only take Presidential and Governorship elections serious, to them, others don't matter and it's really a bad practice

We know you will have excuse. Always changing the narratives. We are coming. We have just started

Why will you use your money to go and buy ignorance?
May God help you. Our universities have stopped going on strike, you can even take Federal government loan .
