In a recent crackdown on mobile data usage, the government of Equatorial Guinea has restricted citizens from downloading and sharing multimedia files through WhatsApp when using mobile data, News360 Nigeria reports.

This restriction follows the government’s directive to telecommunications operators to take measures against the spread of “inappropriate content.”

The move comes in the wake of a scandal involving Baltasar Engonga, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency, who became embroiled in a controversy after a fraud investigation led authorities to his private recordings. During a search of Engonga’s home and office, officials uncovered over 400 videos allegedly showing the 54-year-old economist in intimate encounters with numerous high-profile individuals, including the wives of notable figures in government, police, and even the president’s family.

The videos, reportedly consensual and discovered in Engonga’s office, have since surfaced online, sparking a media storm across Equatorial Guinea. Those affected include prominent members of society, such as Engonga’s brother’s wife, his cousin, the sister of the president, the Director General of Police’s spouse, and the wives of at least 20 ministers.

The scandal has not only fueled public outrage but also impacted everyday communication. According to Ahora EG, a local news outlet, citizens are voicing frustration over being unable to send photos, videos, and audio files over mobile data on WhatsApp, forcing many to rely solely on WiFi for sharing such content.

Speaking with a source, the platform quoted a source as saying, “Should an entire country pay for the actions of a few? The likely decision to restrict access to essential communication functions seems disproportionate and punitive, affecting thousands of users of these platforms who, in addition to serving them for entertainment, also use them for their work and/or educational activities.

In a world where digitalisation is becoming more and more important, should we shut down our platforms and paralyse our activities due to the actions of a few? Currently, users are forced to rely exclusively on WiFi connections, which not only limits their ability to communicate but also interferes with their daily activities.

“This situation has generated a heated debate among the population, where many believe that the measure seems to be more focused on controlling than facilitating communication,” the report added.

Ahora EG also quoted another querying, “Is it really fair that everyone should suffer the consequences of the actions of a few? The authorities have not yet provided any explanation for the reasons behind this restriction, as well as the duration of the same. At a time when information and communication are more vital than ever, the lack of transparency only aggravates citizens’ concerns.”

Earlier, the Vice President of Equatorial Guinea, Teddy Nguema, announced plans to install surveillance cameras in all state body offices.

This sweeping measure is part of an ongoing effort to ensure strict adherence to public service laws and combat misconduct among officials.

Re: Sexual Scandal: Equatorial Guinea Government Restricts Whatsapp by RedpillAnalyst:
What about Telegram?

I guess it's because a lot of powerful people feel a big slap on their face. No joking, his name is also Ebang for real?

Pictures don't lie. Look at the image. That is the social hierarchy of power; all the women were leaning towards him. The Simps were almost outside of the picture, and I believe there are some intelligent women who are also freaky in that picture. What did they do right? They said, "Do not take my video." No phone. A lot of these women out there that you see on a daily basis are freaky, but some people are freaky, smart, with sense; they will not allow a video to be taken. I'm very sure those three women that are not marked just did not have a video footage.

People need to wake up and understand that Islam understands human nature, and people in the Arabian countries understand women and men when it comes to morals between men and women working in the office, doing tattoos, allowing women to roam freely with no moderation.

Islam is very logical, and they understand that we humans lie to ourselves a lot.

Anyway, I must warn you: do not search for Baltasar Engonga on Telegram.

From the saga to consequent responses of governments and citizens it presupposes the level of tech advancement of that country is low.

Re: Sexual Scandal: Equatorial Guinea Government Restricts Whatsapp by tuoyoojo(m):
I do not think they had any fraud case against him.

I believe the man's prowess in za other room was "noised abroad" by the women of those high ranking officers he bedded and those women wanted to come to have their taste of the community abunna

In other to live to the "legendary status" ,he probably would stepped on the toes of someone ( maybe a man of one of the women he bedded) who did his investigation and found the guy's soft under belly....which was his love for women's abunna and his penchant for making videos to reenact his "glory" moments

This action leaves one with sober reflection

A man who conquers his enemy is strong, but the one who conquers his self ( esp when he can afford his guilty pleasures) is stronger

May God help us, because nobody holy pass

But that guy is so fearless O. He no fear a whole president including Director general of police, government ministers, army generals, his brother and his Pastor at all. He chop all their wives. It’s is only Mr President’s wife he spared by making his sister the replacement.

For one man to make sextapes out of it And the government shut down WhatsApp immediately because of his escapades been shared shows that man is a warrior in bed. wink
