Uproot Nigeria is a social network alternative to sites like Google + and Facebook. It is built on the Friendica software, which operates on a decentralized network infrastructure. This means that all data is hosted on local servers in the larger network, which means that your status updates are only stored on the server you join, or on that server and somebody else's server (if you are contacting someone on another Friendica server. This server is running on a minimal Linux server with an encrypted hard drive, meaning your data is totally safe on this server, even if the server got into the wrong hands (i.e. was seized). This is pretty much optimal for planning resistance, protests, strikes, actions, Occupy, etc., so please spread the word!

There are currently two servers up. The first is for Lagos and the surrounding area and can be reached at http://24.27.25.224/ and the second is for Kano and the surrounding area and can be reached at http://70.112.17.69, I have also made a tutorial that explains how to install the Debian Linux OS with an encrypted hard drive and Friendica running if anyone wants to set up their own server: http://beta.etherpad.org/ro/r.UUJTzjanOmY4vQqj . Oh, the servers are also located in the United States, WHERE IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO BREAK NIGERIAN LAW. Fun fact!

Remember that it is often better not to use your real name for an account for safety's sake. You can also access the site(s) anonymously using a program called TOR ( https://www.torproject.org/ ) . If you are experiencing government internet shutdown or media blackout, try to go to https://chat.werebuild.eu and join the chatroom there to get chat tech support.

You are wrong. It is not illegal to break Nigerian law in the United States.

If  this sounds a lot like something you heard called Diaspora, you'd be  right. But we chose to work off of Friendica rather than Diaspora for a  variety of reasons:

1. Friendica allows local servers to enable themes and plugins, making customization and development of future features easier.
2.  Unlike Diaspora, Friendica does not run on Ruby on Rails. Ruby on Rails  has a steep learning curve and is hard to install on servers if you're  not that familiar with it.
3.  Unlike Diaspora, Friendica allows for community pages. This will make  having speciific comité discussions or discussions related to general  plans-in-the-works easier.
4. Unlike Diaspora, Friendica allows for events. This is really important for activists.
5. Friendica is easier to use for people who haven't used it before.
6. Friendica has a public member directory. (Listing yourself is optional, of course.)
7. Friendica allows you to manage multiple profiles from the same account.
