Protest Against Wastage At "Nigeria At 50" Anniversary: Hackers Hijack National Assembly Website.



















Apparently angry at the way the Nigerian government wasted scarce national resources on the the Nigeria at 50 events in Abuja today , cyberactivists have broken into the website of Nigeria's National Assembly and posted a critical message on the homepage accusing the ruling elite of misgovernance, and denouncing the 50th independence anniversary celebration.

In a three- paragraph petition it left on the site, the group which called itself "9ja cyberactivists", said it would haunt the government functionaries and expose their indiscretions to the world through series of cyber-activism.

Read the petition after the cut...

 "F..k the gov, there is no such thing as security. To the government we need electricity as electricity is supposed to be a basic amenity not a privilege. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT HELPING MATTERS 50 years of independence and nothing to prove instead they waste billions on failed projects. Fuck the government happy independence day shout out to every patriotic Nigerians.

We shall continue to haunt them by our increased participation, by our insisting that our votes count, by insisting that they give account of their stewardship, by making our voices heard. We shall not quit. We shall expose their many goofs and make them even more scared of their own shadows. We don’t need them to pass the law. We shall assume the law.

For the people really are the law. For the law is for us and ours to live with. So we shall unseal our lips and undo the gag. We shall refill our quills and adjust our keyboards. We shall also shop for new cameras, for any thing it will take. We shall haunt them and their kind until they, like the cockroach disappear from our faces and out of our hallowed chambers. 


No one else will create the future we desire if we don’t step out of our islands of sanity to fix the ills we so often condemn. #Nigeriaat50 I: If youth make up 70% of Nigeria, then the responsibility lies with us to kickstart the process of change we can be proud of. #Nigeriaat50 G: God has been faithful for the first 50 years, it’s now time to do our part by taking our destiny into our hands. #Nigeriaat50 E: Enough is truly enough. They call you(th) “resilient”, “potentially great”, “tomorrow’s leaders”. Tomorrow begins today! #Nigeriaat50."

As at the time of this report, the National Assembly is yet to regain control of the site.

YES. I LOVE these guys. I love this. Usually, I don't like hackers and spam merchants, but, I LOVE 9jaCyberActivists. They need to do more and force Jonathan's government to do more for the people of Nigeria. Goodluck Jonathan's Facebook page should be next. That should have been the first target. He made a fool of Nigeria and Nigerians to the whole world. He needs to make amends or it may cost him at the polls. 9jaCyberActivists' direct action gets more press and is better than that silly #LightUpNigeria. They need to hijack every federal government and State government website and scandalise those f%ckers. They need to humiliate those bastards called our leaders till they stop taking Nigerians for fools. Well done boys and girls. Nice job. More of it, please.

This is what I call Hack-tivism(Activist Hacking). This should wake up the minds of the senatheives and legislooters in the National Assembly of Corrupt Lawmakers that throwing chairs at one another and looting Nigerian money will not solve Nigeria's challenges. I hope they will understand !!!

What a joke of a government.

Even as much as you'all want the leaders fucked, I believe we re all green to the bones. Talking about great leadership, it all begins with you because the problem of Nigeria from what I know is not just from the Leaders but from the people of Nigeria as well, Take a look at the rails all over the roads of Nigeria, I believe the government or so called leaders did not destroy it, the pipes, the wrong attitude and so on, So I believe a good leadership begins with you. Without you I believe there is no Nigeria ( Nigeria is just a piece of Big Land without it's people ) Peace y'all
Lets be a change agents

@LOUIS...oh please spare me the inspirational/motivational talk! Would that raise the dead?.....when a man has being pushed to the wall,he has no choice than to turn & charge at his oppressor! I applaud what is being done, for we have being pushed to the wall for our so called corrupt leaders...IDIOTS!

skankmypeaceofmind said...

Very very nice.

@ Just being me, Louis makes a valid point. In addition to the eradication of corrupt Nigerian leaders and rebuilding Nigeria, we as Nigerians also have to re-orient our mode of thinking and behavior. We can't ALWAYS blame the government for everything.

JUST BEING ME said...

@SHADE....a hungry man is an angry man!....is it 9jas that are looking for food, school fees,& house rent, that would listen to LOUIS valid points?....no! my sister......our patience has ran out!....ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!.....am here right now, unemployed not because i had not being looking very hard for a job but because i don't know anybody why our bloody politician kids are in the best schools in abroad & a lucrative job waiting for them when they graduate. so please no motivational talks for me!

I would like to exchange links with your site lindaikeji.blogspot.com
Is this possible?

Are these guys recruiting? I would like to join them. If we don't act now, we will have no country for our children.
Google "blue horizons future capabilities & technologies" for a recent report by the US Air Force. Page 28 gives you a scenario of Nigeria as a failed state in 2030. That dire situation is possible.
GOD BLESS AND SAVE NIGERIA.
