"content": "amendments that are going to enrich this law - to engage more seriously on this Bill so that when we pass it, it becomes useful to us. My concern is that even if we pass this legislation, is it going to be applied or used? We have passed many laws in this country, but I am afraid they are never applied for the intended purposes. The law enforcers do not use them. I want to give the example of Nigeria to show why the committees need to be more serious on this Bill. While the members were debating the Cybercrimes Act of May 2015, most members of Parliament exhibited ignorance. I hope that this august House is not going to be party of exhibition of ignorance. One of the members of the Nigeria National Assembly said this about hacking of computers: “The moment someone has accessed your computer as long as it is not for something illegal or criminal and he is not taking your computer away permanently, you cannot say the person has committed an offence.” He went ahead to say that: “If I pick your computer system and try to crosscheck a file, I do not think it is an offense.”"
