Nigeria Government plans to ban porn sites

The National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki
(retd.), says the Federal Government is planning to
introduce a law that will ban and block all porn
websites in the country. He stated this at the
closing ceremony of a three-day workshop on use
of social media organised for Islamic preachers,
Imams and youths in Kaduna on Sunday.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the
workshop, which was organised by the national
body of Izalatil Bid'a Wa'iqamatis Sunna, aimed at
correcting anomalies in the use of social media.
Dasuki, who was represented by the Minister of
Special Duties, Alhaji Kabiru Turaki, said,
"Government is planning to ban and block websites
that inculcate negative attitudes in our children but
we need a law to support such move.
"Because without a law, people can go to court and
claim infringement on their rights."
While urging preachers to avoid the use of
unguarded utterances against leaders, Dasuki said
preachers were not politicians but they must play
politics.
In his remarks, Governor Muktar Yero of Kaduna
State stressed the need for credible people to join
politics in order to contribute their quota toward
sanitising the system.
He cautioned people against using social media
negatively to blackmail others.
Yero called on Muslims to be united and intensify
efforts on prayers towards a violent-free elections.
The National Chairman of the Islamic organisation,
Sheikh Abdullahi Bala-Lau, appealed to the Federal
Government to do everything within its power to
avoid bloodshed, especially in the North-East of the
country.
He urged leaders in the country to ensure equity,
justice and fair play in leading Nigerian citizens,
irrespective of their religious affiliation.
Bala-Lau advised politicians not to use the
workshop venue to send provocative messages to
their rivals.
