Nigerians React To Military's Plan To Monitor Social Media For What They Call Anti-govt Activities, Hate Speech & Anti-Security Information!
Nigerians react to the statement credited to the Director of Defence Information, Major-General John Enenche, who made open the decision of Nigerian army to start monitoring the activities of Nigerians on social media as it regards to what they call hate speech, anti-government and anti-security information.
It baffled every known principle of democracy why the military should be encroaching into civil affairs of Nigerians rather than allow the police to do their jobs in a democracy. In a true democracy, no one hears the military speak, issue order or even warnings.
Nigerians on social media aren't happy with the news and they've been reacting to it mostly saying its an attempt to gag citizens' expression of their feelings through the use of social media.
Fellow #Nigerians. In light of #NigerianArmy announcement, I hereby retire from #NGPolitics twitter with immediate effect & alacrity Thanks
Nothing to see here, the lousy Nigerian army @HQNigerianArmy is more concerned about social media commentators. #ConfusedAndIneptLottwitter.com/thecableng/sta…
Can someone remind the Nigerian Army that Social Media isn't the reason Nigeria is in a mess? Gagging Nigerians is not why we have the Army! twitter.com/UgAtoba/status…
The Nigerian Army can actually monitor posts on social media. [If they have the equipment]
@HQNigerianArmy wants to gag citizens, while boko haram and herdsmen are on a free ride killing citizens.
Is that not stupidity???
