Are these people serious?
So they want a UK or US - based blogger (for instance), to open physical offices in Nigeria so that they could harass them when they expose their corrupt and nefarious activities. Shame!
It wont happen

Until you are resting in your house and see an AI generated video of you raping a goat, spreading on the internet,you will know the reason behind this act

Good, so I go know where to catch VDM if him talk anyhow on line. E remain to make nairaland not faceless, so we can know all the abayas talking rubbish on this platform

Internet Policing has come to stay

Very good, if we don't regulating bloggers they will ignite Nigeria on fire, even bloggers must be responsible and accountable for their actions.

Do you control the internet?
How would they control a blogger based in Ghana or Kenya? Or a Nigerian blogger that is based in US or South Africa?

Any idiot that gives his/her physical address to this lawless criminals in power, deserves everything he/she gets.

We are very silly I this country. Where do bloggers have physical offices? blogging can be a hubby or a professional work.

We haven't had legislation on more important issues to rid this country of corruption and lack of accountability.

Yugoslavia247:
Tinubu government is worst than Buhari.

Make i no lie.

Do they know the meaning of the word blog.

Blog no be tv or newspaper.

It is digital and asking them to have physical office then you can arrest them at will.


Those supporting Tinubu govt will one day discover that they are victims are not friends of oppressors.

So TINUBU is the senate?
Or TINUBU is NED NWOKWO??



Una Just mad in this country sha

I am sure that the people commenting on this platform are member of the House of Rep allegedly.

Senator sponsor bill, it’s still in trading stage, not passé yet, not sent to presidency, president not signed yet but you are blaming Tinubu. This your auto madness is not good at all.

It's necessary...

You can't hide behind key pad ..cook cock and bull stories for likes and shares .. falsehood you deliberately cooked to sell stories..na..

There should be an avenue to take responsibilities

It is called blog. Blog don't need physical office

They should also ban facebook bloggers

The senate president has thrown more light to the bill. Because do you want bloggers to have physical address in state capitals?

How about a bill to sentence anybody that mismanages public funds above N1B to death??

So that they can easily be picked up when they criticize APC government.

Is this really among the top 1000 pressing concerns for n Nigeria ? Na people like you dey enable our oppressors. Tufikwa

Bifraud is your place..yes, in a zoo, that is where you will find a lawless country you want since you be hate to be responsible and held accountablefor your actions.

bosschinalu:
Oh, so now they want social media platforms to have physical offices in Nigeria? Is that really the battle we should be fighting, Senator Nwoko? While we, the youth, are starving for jobs, opportunities, and meaningful reforms, they’re busy chasing shadows, chasing after foreign companies who don’t care about our poverty or broken systems.

Where are the policies that tackle unemployment?

Where is the bill that addresses the abysmally low minimum wage?


You want accountability, Senator? How about accountability from our government for the billions being wasted on ‘phantom’ projects and the resources we continue to mismanage while our youth are struggling? You talk about economic losses, but the real loss here is the brain drain—our best minds fleeing to places that at least offer decent opportunities while we remain stuck in endless bureaucratic bottlenecks.




You want blogs to have offices in Abuja ? More paperwork, more bureaucracy, more of the same system that has crushed creativity and entrepreneurship. You’ve seen the power of social media in giving Nigerians, especially the youth, a platform to speak, to earn, to create. Instead of using this bill to stifle free expression, why not focus on making this country a place where the youth can thrive without being oppressed by these never-ending laws that only serve to make the already powerful even more untouchable?



Enough of the distractions! The real battle is for a better Nigeria, not one where social media offices are the priority.

So they can be tracked and dealt with if they talk against them.
Imagine Tunde having an office in Nigeria

The earlier we see these senators, house of rep and politicians as our enemies the better,they now want to silence the Internet like they did radio and tv,
E no go happen,
The earlier we revolt the better

What happens to database, what happens to your useless NIN and BVNs. Sharing country with low thinking people is the worst thing that has happened to humanity.

Does Alex Reporter or whatever his name have a registered address

The bill, titled ‘A Bill for an Act to Amend the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023, to Mandate the Establishment of Physical Offices within the Territorial Boundaries of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by Social Media Platforms, and for Related Matters, 2025 (SB. 650),” was sponsored by Senator Ned Munir Nwoko APC, Delta North.

... bloggers must establish a verifiable office in any of the capital cities across the country, maintain proper employee records and belong to a recognized national association of bloggers, headquartered in Abuja

The same way of creating needless agencies and associations. Someone in the village must go to the capital city to register. Nigerian politicians are afraid of citizen journalism. The next thing is to ask for every Facebook and Twitter user to have a registered address. We know where they are going to.

The big corporations can have offices in Nigeria. That I agree with but they don't know what blogging is. Before the social media platforms came into existence, people have blogged. Because they don't come with good intentions, this bill if passed will make them see what they never anticipated because you will chase your people to where you have no control. And the person that controls what you cannot control in your house is not your friend.

I Feel your pain my dear..

This is where they will be active. Not for herdsmen to have fields or for good of the society. Next is linkage of NIN to NL profile before you can post.

Funny people and ancient thinking...when internet and broadband us broken barriers and physical offices ..when we have virtual offices

What if the firm is blogging from USA and focusing on Nigerian content and have field workers like Tunde Ednut


Thwy should take about inflation, insecurity etc that is affecting the country....and average citizens
