It reached our turn only for everything to turn upside down

[Maliceprime]

Technology reaches some part of the world countries and they are never the same again but in the case of my country technology makes things much more worse.

Police men will harass you and if somehow they get a hold of your phone and see any crypto exchange you won't leave until you pay them in Bitcoin. They steal millions in bitcoin and transfer it to their own address.

Terrorists are on tiktok doing giveaways.

Kidnappers are openly flaunting fintech accounts they used to collect ransom.

Tell me how tech in Nigeria isn't making things worse for innocent and ordinary people? Everything is been documented on the blockchain, accounts and yet nothing is done about it, criminals are opening doing their dirty business with no fear of been apprehended.

It is so obvious that innovation alone can't save Nigeria.

[ColdLava40]

Don't you think the insecurity in the country has nothing to do with technology? It's all due to the governments inability to cub these criminal activities and make Nigeria a peaceful place again.

It's not something that can be over emphasized, technology is open to anyone even the criminals can choose to use it as they will. There's no good thing that won't have a bad side. People will always find a way to exploit it.

What we should focus now isn't about technology advancement but how the government are trying to stop these criminals in the country which of course they aren't doing anything about.

[Ever-young]

You Dey talk as if you don go the western part of the world to see say everything Dey work normal there, what most of these other countries are good at is concealing their shortcomings, and that’s not what Nigeria is good at. Nigeria is too loud, we love to brag about everything, whether it’s good or bad. That’s why you see a Nigeria scammer come online and don’t hide his identity, but does that mean there are not scammers in other countries? Of course not. I hate it when we talk ill and condemn ourselves, we are a country with its shortcomings just like every other civilization out there. So stop spreading shit about Nigeria because there are several other countries out there that are doing way worse. Naija self Dey learn work.

You don't get the message, they are using the technology the wrong way, exposing their asses and I am thankful for that, if the government want to raid everyone of them it is easy, whatever gets online will remain online, you can't get rid of it anymore, they thought technology is a way to escape but they use it to reveal themselves.

There is one problem that Nigerians have, they always want to hide their bad behavioura, small thing like this they will talk about another countries not clean too, we are talking about Nigeria, not other countries, na why they are killing Christians for north and some useless set of people they do like say it no dey happen.

Some even wan dey hide am all because they no wan badmouth Nigeria, if something good who fit talk bad about am? If you keep calling a bad county a fair one simply because some other countries are worse or not perfect you will live long to see how your country get even worse from time to time.

Person wey them never kidnap him relative for Nigeria go dey think say those kidnapping news they happen outside Nigeria.

Atleast America no dey kill Christians. Upon all the hide hide the news still leak out reach Trump, thank God for the pastor wey talk and the other hiding pastor that spread the news, nothing go ever change for Nigeria if people like you exists, a rotten mango is a rotten mango, love it or hate it, call a spade a spade.

Sometimes i even wonder why am from Nigeria, this country is really living below expectations in every aspect of life, see common World Cup qualification Nigeria can’t qualify despite having top stars like Victor Osimen and others, this players play so well outside the shore’s of this country but once they reach Nigeria everything change and they become a flop, same money that other country government use to build world class stadiums is what Nigeria is using to build substandard structures in the name of stadium, Nigeria own is always different, outside players are picked out of skill and merit but our own selection list is based on who know the senator or someone else in government.

Natural resources is a blessing to some other countries but it’s just as if it’s a curse in Nigeria, upon we have crude oil and other natural gas see how expensive fuel is, see how expensive gas is, see how expensive transportation is, most time i begin to wonder why we have the resources if citizens can’t benefit from it, Nigeria has tried military regime it didn’t work now it’s democracy and its even as if things getting worse, same things that works in other countries don’t work here, our network is bad, our roads are bad, no electricity, no good school, am beginning to believe that Nigeria is cursed else how can one explain the series of misfortune that has been happening, we really need to go back to the drawing board so that moving forward things can normalize.

The invention of technology is a good advancement to us as a society but the individuals in the society tends to use it for a very wrong perspective of it, technology makes our daily life easier than that of the 80s when our forefathers were not able to get access to technology, the work rate was tedious but everything has become easy when technology comes into reality.

We know that because of the porousness of the country and it's insecurity level, bandits now use social media to display their killings and kidnapping and because some of their activities are being sponsored by politicians they do whatever they like and get away with it without being captured and brought to justice. We have lots of minerals resources but the leaders are not making good use of it and the Masses languish in poverty, technology is just being used in a very wrong way if not it's a blessing unto us as it makes us get access to information and what goes on around the country without stress and much research.

[Gozie51]

You might not be totally wrong that the people turn to the negative aspect of technology to commit different atrocities and that is done everywhere in the world not only Nigeria. However, simply put, the difference is what government do to check this illegality. Nothing is done to people who perpetrate such acts. The government is even seen as an accomplice to this because when they can not stop things like that from happening, they become part of it. They have introduced different ways to track illegal phone calls using NIN but nothing positive is happening on that measure because bandits and kidnappers are still having free day. Just few days, call was made from the military etc (we all understand) but nothing is heard about the person who made that call. It is a Nigeria government problem and not that there are no other countries having such issue.

In my opinion I don't think Op is condemning or spreading shit about Nigeria he stated real facts about what is happening in the country. Other countries dey face worst issues than Nigeria no mean say we should lock up not to speak, if you dey reside for North you go understand how well our technology dey work na our government just dey pretend not to take action about am. I don see am for several times wey citizen dey try to criticise government for dere poor administration and dey track dem easily but check all social media platforms you go see bandits unmask and yet government no fit track dem.

Technology is actually good and it makes work faster and easier for us, just dat is how the Nigeria are going about it and using it in a wrong way and I think dat the reason Nigeria government don't want to go more further in technology and Nigeria are bless in many way it just dat dey don't have more ideas about it, if I may say Nigeria is doing way better than other countries so I don't thing dis country have d benefit we are having today and it just the bad government that it making things hard for us.

[Solodoski]

Awareness is a huge problem especially in this part of Africa. Most officers are not leaned, so they do not know how technology have grown that one can be independent of himself without joining any form of illegal act. What they believe is what they hear from the majority. Which falls down to everything done online is a form of scam. Deep down, they don't know how scam works but a young lad seen in the street means the persons is a scammer. Or  a neighbor who doesn't go outside to do anything that has to do with money.

[Juicyhome]

There were not turn wey things bin good,na why feka time him sing tire for bad government, Ken Saro Wiwa died because of protest and Many others. Nigeria is blessed with natural resources but with bad leadership, leaders that has no conscience,they are not interested in the development of the country but for themselves.

Nigeria is the only country where the past is better than the future and present, that's why you feel our turn things are up side down. It's same thing with same useless people in government, the difference is that the Citizens then were very vocal and they agitated for better government.but this generation is so docile, nothing matters to to us. We're too quiet for my liking.

Do you know what the most annoying thing is? All these cool technological developments seem to be supposed to protect ordinary people, but in practice they don't help in any way. Can you imagine how many hopes were associated with the blockchain , they say, now everything will be transparent, not a single fraudster will escape responsibility. But in the end, it's the same story.

I don't think it's about technology. The deeper problem is how the government works with all this. Well, you have a super accounting system, but if you don't have the will and the mechanisms to actually catch criminals and punish them, it's all just a beautiful shell. It turns out that it's not necessary to invent new digital tools, but to force the government to finally get down to business seriously. In the meantime, they don't seem to be in much of a hurry.

Innovation isn't the problem instead the government who are allowing criminals to misuse technology. The government could easily track down criminals using the above mentioned technologies but they seems uninterested. they not doing anything in tracking down criminals maybe because they are sponsoring them or they are benefit from the crimes. However these criminals could be tracked but the government are afraid of combating them.

In this regard the government is always behind this criminals because they make use of them often, our government is not sincere at all that is why you see those criminals leaving freely in the society without any issues. If you have not forgotten, don't you see how tugs are terrorizing the innocent people or is that not happening in your own society and anytime an individual takes action by arresting them, you can see the government will immediately comes to their head.

With what I'm seeing government also encourage them to do more research on how to make this work for them because I have never seen any criminal that is arrested and prosecuted, at first you will hear the news at the beginning but in a long run everything we cease.
