Stand-up comedian IGoSave has voiced strong opposition to the House of Representatives’ directive to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to block access to all pornographic websites nationwide. The comedian expressed concern that the ban would negatively impact many citizens and called for public opinion on staging protests against the move.
On his Instagram story, IGoSave wrote, “This porn site ban go affect many Nigerians o! Should we help dem protest? Cos they are true Nigerians too.” His comments highlight the potential widespread effect of the ban and the need to consider the interests of all Nigerians.
Rapper Blaqbonez also reacted to the proposed ban, criticizing it as a sign of misplaced priorities. He argued that adult films serve as a form of relief for many citizens during difficult times. Blaqbonez’s remarks reflect a broader sentiment that the government should focus on more pressing issues rather than targeting adult content.
The House of Representatives’ directive has sparked a heated debate, with many Nigerians questioning the rationale behind the move. Critics argue that the ban could lead to censorship and infringe on personal freedoms, while others support it as a measure to promote moral values.
As the discussion continues, the reactions from IGoSave and Blaqbonez underscore the diverse perspectives on the issue and the need for a balanced approach to addressing societal concerns. The proposed ban has also raised questions about the role of government in regulating online content and the potential consequences for internet freedom in Nigeria.
