Billionaire Senator Ned Nwoko recently sponsored a bill that requires Nigerian social media bloggers to establish physical offices, a move that sparked angry debates. Responding to this, Laila put full contents of the proposed law on her social media page, welcoming comments from users. However, in a surprising act, she disabled the comment section, not accepting any public opinion.
Laila wrote:
“Senator Ned Nwoko has introduced a bill (SB 650) to amend the Nigerian Data Protection Act, 2023, aiming to regulate social media platforms, enforce tax compliance, and hold digital businesses accountable. Key Highlights:✅ Social media companies & online businesses must set up offices in Nigeria.✅ Big tech firms to pay taxes & create 200,000+ jobs for Nigerian youths.”
“✅ Bloggers must register with CAC, pay taxes if earning above the threshold & join media unions.✅ Improved legal redress for Nigerians facing issues with digital platforms. “If other countries can enforce these rules, why should Nigeria be different?”
