The House of Representatives on Tuesday directed\u00a0 the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC,\u00a0 to immediately shutdown all porn websites in the country.<\/p>\n

The development followed a motion sponsored by\u00a0Dalhatu Tafoki, the member representing the Faskari\/Kankara\/Sabuwa Federal Constituency,\u00a0which called for a step to \u201cprotect societal values.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to move a motion for the need to block internet websites hosting pornographic content and sanction the internet service providers responsible for the posting. The House notes that cyber pornography is fast becoming a global problem, and no concrete steps have been taken to cut its phenomenon in Nigeria,” Tafoki said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria is a highly religious country, and all the major religions in the country forbid nudity and obscenity in any form. Also note that countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East have passed legislation that bans pornography in their domains.<\/p>\n

\u201cRenowned psychologists and sociologists around the world have issued stern warnings that there are psychological and sociological consequences for creating ponographic content.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe immediate effects of doing ponographic content include a. promotion of adultery, prostitution, and other promiscuous behaviours, leading to addiction, escalation, and desensitisation, change of attitude towards oneself and family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The House adopted the motion through a voice vote and directed its Committees on Communications and Legislative Compliance to ensure that it is implemented, and to report back to the House within four weeks for further legislative action.<\/p>\n

The Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abass, also warned that sanctions would be imposed on Internet service providers that default.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
