[Ncuc-af] Nigeria Govt Monitoring Socialmedia for anti government

[Akinremi Peter Taiwo]

It's crystal clear that government does monitor communication lines and
social media but the problem is the level of abuse to it. It is worrisome
to see our president position on the use of social media and communication
lines and the backwardness to the internet openness and inclusiveness in
Nigeria.

The question that came to my mind after reading through is who are the
anti-government, anti-military or anti-security? And what are the
definition and scope of the military in tracking these people? We are very
much aware that fake news is all over the media and social media platform
but amidst the fake news, is there no genuine news that they called fake
news?

It's very glaring that we will see innocent people being tracked down and
tortured because of freedom of speech and digital right in Nigeria.

Regards.
Peter
